Welcome to the Old Caledonian Bed & Breakfast, located just 80 minutes south of St. Louis in the Village of Caledonia, Missouri.
The Old Caledonian B&B is in the National Register of Historic places, and is housed in the Ruggles-Evans-Dent House built in 1849. We offer vintage luxury, outstanding vegan cuisine, spa and wellness amenities, and incredible local destinations to make your stay a memorable experience for which we hope you will wish to return again and again.
Each guest room has a private bath, incredible, top-of-the-line linens and bedding, DirecTV, and free Wi-Fi. There are soothing sound generators and aromatherapy misters in each room, as well. There is also a sauna and yoga studio free for our guests’ use.
The house, with its beautifully preserved brick and woodwork, makes for a lovely setting to enjoy the spacious seating areas, dining room and library. Our four acres of manicured grounds are a great escape from life’s hustle and bustle. Our stately gazebo, peaceful koi pond, private patio and lovely gardens are country relaxation at its finest.
Our amazing plant-based breakfasts, included in your stay, are prepared by one of our owners who was an executive chef for 25 years. Also, our afternoon teatime, served between 4 p.m.-6 p.m. is included, and features a wide selection of teas and an assortment of sweet and savory treats, all served on antique china. We can also prepare three-course vegan dinners by prior arrangement, which win raves from our guests. Please see our website for more info, and call or email to arrange your dinner. We also offer a great selection of wine and beer.
We are located right on Caledonia’s Main Street, and within a short drive of several of Missouri’s most popular state parks, historic sites and attractions including Johnson Shut-Ins State Park, Elephant Rocks State Park, Washington State Park and the Battle of Pilot Knob Historic Site.
