Great space for family & pets

My family gave this their top rating home based on all our visits to St. Louis. We travel frequently to visit our college student and he loves when we can bring the pup along. The house is comfortable and spacious. The big kids loved the game area in the basement. The fenced in yard is a plus. The location is ideal and has a number of great nearby restaurants. Excellent communication throughout the entire stay and we hope to stay again next Fall!

Great dog-friendly rental, quiet neighborhood, convenient location

I chose this house for my family's spring break trip to St. Louis so that our dog could come along. It was great for him having the fenced yard and we really enjoyed the house and location. Weather wasn't great so we didn't walk anywhere, but the drive to Forest Park and the zoo/Science Museum was quite short, and the drive to the arch and other downtown tourist attractions wasn't much longer. The house is well-appointed and lovely, beds are comfy, plenty of space, nice kitchen, and attentive hosts. We would definitely stay again!

Spring Break in St. Louis

We had a great stay in St. Louis! This location was perfect for us- we walked to the zoo, to get coffee at Sweet Em’s, and to Forest Park a few times, and were just a 10-15 minute drive from anywhere else we wanted to go! So many fun things for young kids to do here! The house was clean and spacious for our family of 5. We had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Comfortable house in a neat and quiet neighborhood

Prompt communications with owner; easy check-in. The living and kitchen areas were open and roomy. Enjoyed the large dining table. The kitchen worked fine for us and was fairly well-equipped. (Note: if you're used to meal prep with a good chef's knife, bring your own.) Bedrooms were on the small side but adequate and comfortable. Plenty of hot water too. Quiet and pleasant neighborhood with easy-enough access to main roads and highways. Would stay there again.

Family Summer Vacation

A short family vacation in St. Louis. Our stay at this property was just perfect. As our days in St. Louis were busy, the property provided us with the perfect place to start our days and after our busy days the perfect place to wind down and relax. The property was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this property. The property owners were also great to work with. They checked in with us during our stay as well.

Tornado Horns Heard

I had little contact with the manager before or during the visit. With a crawling infant in our party we were aware of the crumbs that were on the floor when we arrived and the exposure of the wires on the bottom of the refrigerator as the plate was missing that normally covers them. Also a baby gate was available but was too small to cover the opening of the stairwell. We did see a new one downstairs but had not been put into place. We were glad for the basement though as the horns blew for a tornado spotted when we were there! Being a dead end street in front of the house we did enjoy the quietness of the street!! The location was very close to the zoo. It was roomy for the seven of us and we had a good time. Thank you! There is another home for rent next door for added information

Spring Break

The neighborhood is really quiet, within walking distance of a few restaurants, unfortunately, there aren't sidewalks the entire way there. The house itself was really clean, you walked in and it smelled like lemons. Which is preferable over the floral scents most places use. So if you're like me and floral scents drive your sinuses crazy it's a nice change. We didn't spend a ton of time at the house other than late afternoons. Our youngest loved playing darts. We brought our own dog cage, but the hosts also had one set up in the basement for use. The only complaints I have are superficial the back patio door sticks, so my daughter's were unable to open/close it. The cold air return/register is outside the bedroom doors and it's very loud as the furnace seemed to constantly be running. This was probably just an us issue, but the a/c was set to 77. We turned it down to 66 just to cool the house down for when we'd return and by late afternoon it'd still be in the 70's.

We were there with our son, daughter in law and grandsons, exploring St. Louis for spring break. The house is much roomier than it would appear from the outside and very well equipped. The location was perfect...we could walk to the zoo, park, coffee house, wonderful pizza place and if you go, highly recommend Sonny's Margarita! Liz was wonderful, very responsive and helpful.

Quiet, quaint dogtown home

The home was as decribed. All the necessities for a fun & comfortable visit to St. Louis for our family of 6. Basement was a great hide away for the kids after a long day at the zoo or the city museum. The house is very walkable to neighborhood restaurants & maybe even the zoo (although we didn't due to the age of some of our family). The neighborhood was very quiet and quaint. Perfect amount of city feel with a neighborhood setting. Loved the QR code link to the homeowners visitor guide website. Gave great tips on restaurants! King bed was a little hard but all the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean & comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials although we only cooked breakfasts and snacks. We would definitely stay here again if/when we visit St. Louis again.
