About the host

Hosted by Sara Stout

Host profile image
I'm a huge fan of game night, micro brews, community, hiking, reading, serving, eating, biking, coffee, wineries, mom'n it up, and traveling.

When traveling, I like to stay in places that are cozy, clean, and comfortable. I love that I can provide travelers to Saint Louis the fancy hotel feel with way more amenities and the experience of staying in a great Saint Louis neighborhood. I also love Saint Louis and love showing it off!

It's so rewarding to hear from guests that they loved their Vacation Home and can't wait to come back! Hosting is hospitality for me and I absolutely love it.

Why they chose this property

I have always loved this area and thought "How cool would it be if I could own a home here someday!" and now I do! Although I no longer live at this Vacation Home (although I do live in the neighborhood next to it), I enjoy hosting guests who can enjoy it just as much as I did.

What makes this property unique

Location: So close to everything in St. Louis!
Neighbors: Super friendly neighbors!
Parks: This Vacation Home is walkable to the Botanical Gardens and Tower Grove Park.
Space: Guests rave about how lovely this home is. It's beautiful, come stay and find out.
Family Amenities: Travel with less, we most likely have it for you already at this Vacation Home.
Comfort: Guests are always surprised at how comfortable the beds are. I didn't go cheap when making those purchase. Sleep well!
Clean: Each clean includes sanitation and detailed dusting methods and the heavy duty air purifiers are constantly cleaning the air so you can breath easy.
