Nice quiet river town near Jefferson City is the setting for the Dauphine Hotel Bed and Breakfast in Bonnots Mill MO. 4.5 Stars on Trip Advisor.

"The Dauphine Hotel is one of the oldest lodging establishments in Missouri. It began as a two room farm house which was built by an early settler in the 1840s. A few years later the land around the building was divided up into lots and the town of Dauphine was established. By the mid 1850s Felix Bonnot, the town's founder, had built a saw mill in town which supplied wooden ties for the first railroad line through the area. With the coming of the railroad, the town grew rapidly and by 1875 the farm house had been enlarged and was being operated as a hotel." (visit link)
