Miami County is great but I am not sure of any places to stay close by. There might be.
Midwest National (KGPH) in Mosby (outside of Liberty/Excelsior Springs, MO) has a barbecue place a few miles away in an old train station-Wabash Barbecue-that is really good. They have a courtesy car and a deal on a Sleep Inn ($50 IIRC). Depending on when you come through, I may be able to help you out, as well.
Safe travels.
