Built circa 1900, and containing 2 original walk-in vaults, the Bank Haus has been renovated to rival its former glory.
Tin ceilings, hardwood floors, and a brand new oversized main level handicapped accessible master bathroom are only a few of the stunning features of the Bank Haus.

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
The Bank Haus is located on Depot Street, what used to be the main street in Marthasville and runs parallel to the Katy Trail. Marthasville is a historic town that just celebrated its 200th anniversary. Depot is now a sleepy street that sees more people biking and walking than driving cars.
Philly’s Pizza is two doors down and has delicious pizza. Write your names on the walls inside Philly’s to let people know you were there, too.
Note that the MFA Co-op is directly across the street in front of the Bank Haus. This is a working grain silo location for area farmers and does produce dust during loading and unloading of grain and corn occasionally throughout the day.
Observe a small town American farming community during your stay in Marthasville!
You can bike or walk anywhere in Marthasville and nearby, 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.
