For more than 180 years the Carter-Rice building has stood silently collecting stories about St. Charles, its residents and visitors. Now known as the Boone’s Lick Trail Inn, the building has been located along Historic Boone’s Lick Road since 1843. All of our accommodations provide an atmosphere of historic authenticity, appointed with fine antiques and comfortable period reproductions.

We want to let our guests know we are NOT serving breakfasts NOR is a meal included with the rate. We have changed our business model and are no longer a  bed and breakfast. We are a boutique hotel offering upgraded amenities and many newly refreshed rooms with LOWER rates. We have decreased all rates by upwards of 20% on ALL rooms. We will not serve a breakfast in the future. For your safety we spend several hours cleaning, and turning rooms and common areas each day so that you, as our guest, feel most comfortable while at the Inn. We have absorbed these extra labor costs and not passed them on to you, our valued guests by keeping our rates low and competitive within the destination. In addition, due to the time it takes to ready our rooms for guests arriving we do not allow check ins or early arrivals in person BEFORE 4:00. This is especially important on busy weekends, festivals or special events. Guests often ask if they can just park their vehicle and walk around but this takes time away from our staff to ready ALL rooms for ALL of our guests. We DO coordinate with every guest arrival times, check in procedures and parking.  As we continue to navigate the hospitality we provide our guests and offer the best experience possible to all guests, we appreciate your understanding.
