About this property

St. Louis Modern Retreat- sleeps 12-Family Friendly-Convenient Location

Welcome to our spacious and updated home in one of the best neighborhoods in St. Louis! This 19th century 3-story home offers a comfortable retreat for up to 12 guests (plus infant), making it an ideal choice for families and friends looking to explore the vibrant city of St. Louis.

Step into warmth and character, including original wood floors, and high ceilings with plenty of light. The first floor offers a convenient half bath and a well-stocked kitchen, equipped with stainless appliances and everything you need to prepare delicious meals during your stay. The adjacent dining area and kitchen bar seat 12 comfortably with plenty of counter space for serving. The flow and design of the first floor ensure you’ll easily find a space to play games, watch Roku tv, curl up with a book or catch up over a glass of wine.

When it’s time to rest, you’ll escape to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Each upper floor has a large modern bathroom down a hallway, and a bedroom suite designed to sleep 6 guests quite comfortably. The updated bathrooms have separate tubs and showers. The suites have very large bedrooms sleeping four plus an additional bedroom enclosed by french doors. You’ll find amenities like large closets, tvs, books and games, reading chairs, ironing board and iron, and a hairdryer. The new, soft carpeting and brick construction of this home make the upper floors quiet and peaceful retreats. Whether you’re in town for a vacation, wedding, reunion, or work, you’ll sleep well on memory foam mattresses and soft linens.

One of the highlights of this property is the fenced-in double lot, with ample space for outdoor activities and relaxation. Enjoy a morning coffee on the deck and let the kids (or adults!) run around. There is a charcoal grill and outdoor seating as well.

Sound like a great fit for your group? We hope so! But, please double-check that these house rules are agreeable:

1. The outdoor spaces are off-limits to gathering/talking/playing music during quiet hours after 10pm to avoid disturbing neighbors. Gather indoors during quiet hours.
2. Noise levels should be respectful to neighbors at all times of the day (no loud music). The house is equipped with noise detection sensors to alert if noise becomes excessive, indoors or outdoors. These do not record anything.
3.No visitors at the property without prior permission of hosts.
4. No smoking of any kind indoors, and glitter and confetti should not be brought into the home.

If these house rules work with your plans, feel free to request a booking!

Finally, here are some nearby attractions you'll enjoy:
A lovely playground and greenspace is a block away. Venturing out is easy, as within 1-5 blocks are numerous popular destinations, including Arzola’s Fajitas and Margaritas, A Spoonful of Sugar ice cream shop, Blues City Deli, Gus’s Pretzels, The Venice Cafe, Frazer’s Restaurant The Peacemaker Lobster and Crab, Sidney Street Café, and the renowned Anheuser-Busch Brewery. You may even catch a glimpse of the famous Clydesdale horses outside the stables at the brewery. Additionally, a charming local grocery store (Vincent’s) and the vibrant bars, restaurants and Farmers Market in the nearby Soulard neighborhood are within a walk or short drive, ensuring you'll have plenty of neighborhood options for dining and entertainment.

Perfect for Family or Group Getaway!

We had the perfect experience in this adorable St. Louis neighborhood. 4 adults and 4 kiddos. There are many local coffee shops and restaurants to walk to, but it is close enough to drive and easily get to other St. Louis attractions. It was a beautifully decorated home with amenities and sleeping arrangements for multiple guest needs, and the owner could not have been more helpful and welcoming to our needs. Will definitely stay here again! Above and beyond, I cannot recommend the excellent customer service we received from the host!

Amazing bachorlette weekend!

We loved this home! There was plenty of room for 7 of us for our girls weekend to celebrate my sister in law getting married! It was beautiful and clean. Its a semi quiet neighborhood for st. Louis. And the bavkyard is great to hang out in. I will say be warned its three stories so there are stairs. I don't recommend going down them wearing socks. The owner was great and left a detailed list of rules on the counter very easy to follow. I highly recommend this home.

Great Stay

We had 5 adults and 3 kids (two 5 year olds and a 7 year old). Everything at this property was clean, comfortable, and as advertised. There were no unreasonable rules, and we had a very pleasant stay. The drive to Busch Stadium was easy, and we also enjoyed a nice walk to a wonderful local coffeeshop. A+ weekend!

Benton Park Gem

We loved our stay in this Benton Park gem. Located at the end of a street, we were a short walk to several excellent restaurants and a wonderful ice cream shop (A Spoonful of Sugar) we visited each evening after dinner. Immaculately clean with plenty of space, this was a lovely base for our long weekend in St. Louis.

Home as described, clean, comfortable, plenty of space, nice backyard area. Close to a lot of great restaurants. Parking can be frustrating at times as it is on-street parking, which can become crowded. Great response from the host if needed. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful gem

This was a lovely HUGE place to stay while we explored St. Louis. It’s centrally located to everything we wanted to see. Very quaint and upcoming neighborhood with restaurants within walking distance. Plenty of space and areas to gather. There was some severe weather during our stay and the host messaged us to make sure all was well and that we knew where to find flashlights. The backyard is huge and fenced in. Perfect for kids!

Spring Break Weekend With Family!

Our family of six, including two adults and four tween/teenagers, spent a long weekend in Saint Louis! This property was huge and close to drive to local downtown attractions with three floors and plenty of space to gather together at times and also spread out as needed before and after sight seeing. Our children loved having their own beds. This is an older home, but has been beautifully remodeled and decorated inside. In person the property matches the posted pictures perfectly. The owners respond quickly to questions, and leave easy check in and check out instructions. We also appreciated the little touches such as provided coffee, large bottles of shampoo/conditioner/body soap, fluffy white towels, comfy beds and pillows, etc. We also loved how clean the home was. It made for a delightful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Renken

Host profile image
I grew up in St. Louis, but lived in Los Angeles for 17 years, which is where Ted and I met. Eventually, we relocated back here to be with family and enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle with our kids. We love the architecture and how hard St. Louisans work to preserve it. Plus, you truly get most anywhere in under 30 minutes, usually more like 10-15!

Why they chose this property

Benton Park has a lot to offer both types of guests we typically host. For families, there are very nearby parks/playgrounds and easy access to kid-friendly attractions. For adults looking to catch up or enjoy a night out, there are tons of casual and upscale dining options and a lively bar scene in Soulard. We're on such a small street that it feels like an escape within the city!

What makes this property unique

Very few properties in the city have double lots (the last two nearby have been developed with new homes quite recently). We treasure the elbow room, and the light it lets in
to the home. This home has been comfortably updated but still has the character of the 1888(!) architecture.
