not quite sure what being from STL has to do with it, but there are several of us poking around here (former myself).
Based on his posts, I'd say you're in very good hands with Doug's advice.
your biggest adjustment will it not being an inclusive arrangement, but then most things in life aren't, so take what you can find. My Aunt and Uncle refer to it as living off the land. They find the most interesting Mom + Pop places in rural MO that way.
service will be spottier, be aware of business hours and do what I call pre-need planning (meaning stocking the room/house with some basics - at the very least sandwich stuff and smokes and ok a stash of liquor).
there will be no concierge for advice, but don't be shy and ask locals and fellow visitors lots of questions and it sounds like most of the guest house owners are very helpful (I usu. rent a house).
but most of all relax and forget I-44 for a few days.
