The Alfermann Stone Cottage will unexpectedly transport our guests to a simpler time and place, but with the comfort of modern necessities! Our comfortable & charming cottage, offers simple visual and tactile pleasures such as an antique bed topped with an old-fashioned feather bed, an operable Rumford fireplace, linen curtains, a table and chairs, squeaky old floors and a mini-split system for heat and ac. A full bathroom (may be shared), is offered a few yards away in the main home. The Alfermann Stone Cottage is one of several historical Residences and Lodges open to guests located at the Boone Monument Village, an idyllic 50+ acre national historical site surrounding the burial place of Daniel Boone and other early settlers. THE VILLAGE Deeply immersed in history and lore Boone Monument Village welcomes overnight visitors as it did 200 years ago when Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, Zebulon Pike, Gottfried Duden, and other illustrious personalities roamed the homestead. ---- Just as many yesterdays ago, our guests will discover a warm and welcoming setting, offering a rustic yet refined and uncommon experience, carefully nurtured to create a deep feeling of peace and serenity. ---- The simple and quiet presence of the Village, the pastoral setting, the sparkling lake, the perfectly restored residences adorned with period antiques, and the special touches throughout, will evoke the joy and excitement of simpler days and times. ---- Our Residences and Lodges have been revered by many folks of all ages including far away travelers, Katy trail bikers, local folks pursuing a disconnect from the modern world, and especially by our couples being wed at the Village and their guests seeking unforgettable experiences and memories. ---- Hospitality: Our year-round Residences and our seasonal Lodges can accommodate up to 25 guests. While many of our guests are couples, families and couples also may rent several units, or the entire Village to celebrate together life’s most important milestones. OUR HISTORIC RESIDENCES Our historic Residences range in age from 1799 to the 1860’s and although they all share different histories, periods, and purpose, they all share the same dedication to a professional and authentic architectural and artistic restoration process encompassing the largest elements down to the most minute detail. ---- Complementing the restored structures, every space has been adorned and furnished with period appropriate antiques sprinkled with an occasional high-quality reproduction where modern function cannot be replicated by true antiques. ----- While every Residence differs in layout and function, they all share modern necessities such as full climate control, full-range lighting, bathrooms, kitchens/breakfast areas, with the partial exception of the Bryan Cabin (ca.1799), that because of its dual function as a Living History Museum and Residence, is subject to more restrictive historical and architectural covenants. ---- Function and all sensory elements in our Residences including the overall color palette, design of decorative & structural elements as well as our special touches and enhancements packages, have been carefully planned with the goal of evoking an inner sense of tranquility and contentedness, fundamental to rekindling our self, life, and each other. OUR LODGES Experience the great outdoor life of earlier times in our Authentic Recreated Lodges and create incredible experiences and unforgettable memories. ---- Boone Monument Village offers our amazed guests a seasonal respite from the predictable modern world with our “glamping style” overnight accommodations in our Native American Village and adjoining Wagon Circle! ---- Our reconstructed authentic Tipis and Wagons, offer an open-air authentic experience, but with the convenience of raised wooden floors, electricity, heating/air conditioning and comfortable bedding! ---- All our Lodges will reward our guests of all ages with unforgettable experiences and your amazing pictures to prove it! They are perfect for couples, families, active grandparents, girl getaways, and Katy Trail bikers, as we are located just a couple hundred yards off the famous trail! ---- Big family or group? Rent all the Tipis and Wagons, and the whole area will be reserved exclusively for you! Better yet, rent all the Lodges and Residences for up to 25 people and enjoy the amazing whole Village for yourselves! ---- “Lodge life” would not be complete without outdoor activities! Bonfires, smores, outdoor cooking, lake fishing, exploring and storytelling under the stars are a must! But if you are looking for something even more unique, please request our “Amazing Enhancement Packages”. Disconnect from the modern world and replenish your soul, are the words of a recent guest. We couldn’t agree more! We are on-site occasionally but can be easily reached via call or text. Boone Monument Village is located in Marthasville, MO which is a quaint town smack dab in the middle of Missouri Wine Country. Enjoy Lake Creek Winery right next door, or take a drive to nearby Augusta for even more wineries. Bring your bike or take a hike on the Katy Trail, head into the town of Marthasville for a bite to eat at Philly's Pizza or Cori's Twin Gables, or drive across the river into Washington, MO to do some antique shopping, or to catch a movie!
