**Here’s your sign to book a weekend with us! 🏨✨**

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to get away for a couple of days, September 18–20 is a pretty good one.

Washington is gearing up for a fun fall weekend, and **OxFest Music Festival** is happening Saturday, September 19 at the Washington Fairgrounds. 🎶

Spend your Saturday enjoying live music, food trucks, and the KidZ Zone — then come back to your room, kick your feet up, and relax after a full day of fun.

And if music festivals aren’t your only reason for visiting, there’s plenty more to enjoy while you’re here. Grab breakfast downtown, check out the Washington Farmers’ Market, enjoy some riverfront dining, or take a drive through the beautiful nearby wine country.

**Make a weekend out of it. We’ll be your home base. ❤️**

📅 **September 18–20**
🎵 **OxFest Music Festival — September 19**
📍 **Washington, Missouri**

Book your stay and make plans to enjoy everything Washington has to offer this fall! 🍂

Happy WEDNESDAY!! 🐥💙💛

Can you believe it’s been FOUR YEARS since the beautiful people of Washington welcomed me into this amazing community?!

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for every single person who has walked through my door and supported this little dream of mine. What started as a small hobby out of my little kitchen as I was homeschooling my kids to a thriving storefront providing delicious alpha gal safe baked goods, I never imagined I would be here. God is so good!! 😊
