Bachelorette party

The house was in a prime location and offered everything we needed. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The owner answered all questions within minutes, and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again!!!

HOST CANCELLED ON US AT THE LAST MINUTE

Several girlfriends and I booked our stay for June 23-25 on May 27. On the day before we were to arrive (June 22), I received a message from the host letting me know that "VRBO messed up and double booked the property" and requesting that I "cancel the reservation." As a short term rental owner myself, I know full well how the platforms work - they don't allow double bookings. If there is one, it is the host's error due to not syncing calendars on competing platforms. When I questioned the host on the specifics and why she was asking me to cancel, she didn't have a straight answer and continued to blame VRBO. It was clear to me that she wasn't being 100% honest and was asking me to cancel instead of taking responsibility for a scheduling error. I spoke with VRBO and they assured me that there is no way for VRBO to double book a property and that under no circumstances should I cancel my reservation. If I cancelled, I would not get my money back. In the end, we scrambled to find alternate places to stay (necessitating one night at one place and then moving to another location for the second night) and had a great weekend. While I can't comment on the property itself, I was extremely disappointed that the host waited until the last minute to tell us about the issue even though she claimed that both bookings occurred on the same day (May 27, more than 3 weeks before we were notified). To date, I have not received my refund.

HISTORIC DREAMY PROPERTY

This home was exactly like the pictures. Very clean, very comfortable, and updated. Even the attic/loft was very comfortable with an A/C unit. Our son Will enjoyed escaping up there to his own personal space. There was the nice bonus of basic pantry items available so we didn't buy a lot of basics (ie salt and pepper, spices, sugar, teas) Gina was very kind and quickly responded to any questions. We would love to stay at the Blue Oak again. It was wonderful!!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Lewis

Hi! John and Gina here! We got started in the short term rental world almost by accident! We have been flipping homes since we were first married 16 years ago and decided to give it a go with one of our flips. We haven’t looked back! We love what we do and are Superhosts on AirbnB with almost 300, 5 star reviews in just TWO short years! We love curating experiences and going above and beyond in hospitality for you and yours!

Our homes have gotten so much attention on how well they are remodeled and designed that it organically grew into us becoming local home designers and decorators. We do custom kitchens and baths as well as flip homes and own several short term rental properties. As you can imagine, we also do consulting as we get asked quite a lot for guidance in this market. YES, we are busyyy!

We have 2 smart and energetic kiddos, Liam age 9 and Willow age 4! They are each other’s best friends and worst enemies and pester each other every chance they get. So when we are not running our businesses, you can find us breaking up fights between those two!

Over the years we have really been able to offer a place for so many different and unique people and their stories. This is by far my favorite part of hosting. We got to reunite a father and his son after 20 years of being apart. We were allowed the humbling experience to give a family a soft place to land after losing 4 children and their mother in a house fire. We have hosted so many celebrations and fun times for girls weekends, mother/daughter trips, couples getaways, and staycations. It is more than just hosting for us, it is hospitality and a chance to make this world a more positive place for all of us!

Why they chose this property

You are within walking distance to several bakeries, coffeeshops (including Starbucks), local eateries with fine and simple dining, Missouri River, The Katy Trail, spas, Lewis and Clark Boathouse and Museum, movie theaters, live music, and don't forget all the many festivals down by the river every year!! 30 minutes to the St Louis Arch, 8 miles from the STL Airport. Looking for an exciting night life? Ameristar Casino is only 1 mile away! 🛍 🍴 ☕️ 🎫 🍹 🚴 💆‍♀️ 🎶
Our favorites to Google are: Sulcrose, Prasinos, Picasso's Coffee, The Bike Stop Cafe and Rental, Upshot Coffee

A great walking route to nearby shops and getting to historic Main Street: take a left on Fourth, take another left on Perry st. Walk a couple blocks and you're there! LOTS of variety within walking distance.
