Built To Bring People Together
It Started On A Mountain In Colorado
Mercer Stays began on the side of a mountain. Climbing Mt. of the Holy Cross in Colorado, owner Matthew and his brother-in-law Joseph got to talking about home — and about St. Charles, Missouri, and how fast it was growing. Somewhere on that climb, Joseph floated the idea: invest in their own town and build something that could grow right along with it.
That idea stuck with Matthew. The best trips aren't about the destination — they're about the people you're with, and whether the place you stay actually lets you be together. Too often it doesn't: families get split across hotel rooms, teams scatter across town, and the weekend turns into logistics instead of memories. Matthew saw a chance to build something better, and brought it home to St. Charles.
Our Values
Togetherness
Every home is designed to do one thing well: bring people into the same space and keep them there — gathering, reconnecting, and making the trip the memory.
Handcrafted Quality
Thoughtful, elevated, intentional. From the finishes to the details you don't notice until you need them, each home is crafted to feel like more than a place to sleep.
Connection
We host families, sports teams, multi-generational reunions, and groups who travel to be with their people. Real hospitality means making that easy.
