Mill Haus
Live within history in the Mill Haus, located in historical Locust Street District of Downtown Washington, Missouri.
The Mill Haus is a part of the exclusive collection of Missouri Haus vacation rental homes. Bring your mom and sisters for a wine country getaway, ride the Katy Trail, or celebrate a wedding at one of the nearby wedding venues. The Mill Haus is in the heart of WashMo and Missouri wine country and less than an hour from St. Louis.
THE SPACE
On the National Register of Historic Places as a part of the Locust Street Historical District, the renovated 1920 historical home is fully updated with modern amenities. With 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 bathrooms, it sleeps a total of 10.
Over a century old, the fireplaces (nonworking), doors, woodwork, and hardwood floors have been refurbished, adding a beautiful charm to this brick home.
The Mill Haus is dog friendly for pre-approved dogs only.
Located next door to the Beekeeper’s Cottage, the two houses share the backyard and heated swimming pool. For exclusive private use of the swimming pool and backyard, please book both houses together, the listing named the Bees Knees.
MAIN LEVEL
The living area on the main level is an open floor plan stretching the entire side of the house, showcasing the old fireplace and hardwood floors.
Across the hall is the parlor room with additional period pieces of furniture and a nonworking fireplace.
The dining area seats 6 people, with additional seating in the kitchen and on the screened back porch.
The beautifully detailed full kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals, including modern appliances, place settings, pots and pans, wine glasses, and a regular coffee maker.
Bonus quirk is a hall turned into a pantry/bar area with an ice machine. Then a half bath located between the kitchen and the parlor room.
SECOND LEVEL
Up a flight of century old stairs (take either the grand front staircase or the kitchen staircase), the second level has three bedrooms and both of the full bathrooms.
Bedroom 1 has a king size bed with crisp white linens, a nonworking fireplace accent, and an en suite bathroom with an amazing dressing room with delicious natural light.
Bedroom 2 has a king size bed with en suite full bathroom, and Bedroom 3 has a queen size bed.
THIRD LEVEL
Take another flight of narrow steps to the top floor for the finished third level and Bedroom 4. This bedroom has two (2) queen beds.
LAUNDRY
The set of front loading washer and dryer is located between the bedrooms on the second level.
BACKYARD, SWIMMING POOL, HOT TUB
The fenced backyard is a treat with the shared hot tub and heated swimming pool of the Beekeeper’s Cottage next door. Note that the fence encloses the backyard for both the Beekeeper’s Cottage and the Mill Haus, and there is no fence separating the yards nor an additional inside fence around the swimming pool.
***Pool is open mid May through September weather permitting.***
Dogs are welcome in the yard, but not in the swimming pool or hot tub.
Mill Haus also has access to a charcoal grill (charcoal not provided), patio table, and fire pit (firewood not provided).
GAME ROOM ABOVE GARAGE
The game room above the garage is not included in the listed rate but is available for an additional charge of $50 per night plus a $35 cleaning fee. The rate is times the number of nights of your stay even if you use it for only one night.
The game room can be added to your stay and is available to both the Beekeeper’s Cottage and the Mill Haus on a first-come-first-serve basis. It will not be shared, but the 1/2 bath in the garage is available to all guests using the swimming pool.
EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE HOT TUB, POOL, GAME ROOM, and BACKYARD
Exclusive use of the hot tub, heated swimming pool, game room, and backyard is only available when you book both the Beekeeper’s Cottage and the Mill Haus together — the houses together are referred to as the Bee’s Knees.
WEDDING and OTHER CELEBRATIONS
We welcome bridal groups for wedding preparation as well as bachelor and bachelorette groups. The light is beautiful in the house and will make for stunning wedding prep photos for both the bride and the groom.
Only the maximum of 10 guests are allowed on the property at any time. No day guests or additional overnight guests.

BOOKING WINDOW
The Mill Haus is only available to be booked within 45 days of arrival. If you would like to reserve a stay further out, you will need to book the Bee’s Knees (both the Beekeeper’s Cottage and the Mill Haus together).
Our stay at the Bank Haus was a wonderful experience. It is a combination of modern conveniences and the robust architecture of a century old brick building built to be a symbol of stability and strength in the community.
It was clean and comfortable. The transom windows, squeaky wood floors, high ceilings covered in tin ceiling tiles, expansive windows and doors, long staircase, real wooden doors and two vaults all added to the experience. The modern kitchen and bathrooms were integrated in a way that made it easy for three families to move around easily and be comfortable.

LOCATION
Sitting on a classic tree-lined downtown residential street, the Mill Haus is only a few blocks from the riverfront and all the best cafes, restaurants, local pubs, and boutique shops in downtown Washington as well as the festival zone.
The Missouri River, the Amtrak Station, and the Riverfront Park, are an easy stroll or bike ride from the house.
Downtown Washington is a destination on its own, but if you want to explore further out, you don’t have far to go:
- Mercy Hospital @ 5 minutes
- Katy Trail (Dutzow Trailhead) @ 9 minutes
- Augusta (Wineries and Shops) @ 17 minutes
- New Haven (Wineries, Distilleries, Glass Shop) @ 18 minutes
- Purina Farms and Event Center @ 23 minutes
- Six Flags Theme Park @ 30 minutes
- Hermann (Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries) @ 35 minutes
- St. Louis @ 55 minutes
- Huzzah Valley Floating @ 75 minutes
You can bike or walk anywhere in Downtown Washington or drive your car. You’ll need transportation of some type with you (car, bike, or your feet) as there are very few Uber drivers available in the area.
Winery shuttles are available to the local wineries as well.
