Family-Friendly 3BR Near Zoo & Gardens • Walk to Tower Grove Park • Sleeps 7

Thoughtfully set up for families, groups, and wedding guests, this home offers the comfort of a true residence paired with the convenience of a central, easy-to-explore location.

The Penny comfortably sleeps up to 7 guests and features three private bedrooms, multiple gathering areas, a dedicated game room, and a large second-floor outdoor deck—a rare find in the city.

The sleeping layout works well for families and groups. One bedroom is located on the main floor bedroom with a queen bed, and two more bedrooms are located on the second level.

The fully equipped kitchen supports both quick breakfasts and home-cooked meals. A starter supply of essentials is provided so you can settle in comfortably without an immediate store run. Kitchen essentials include a coffee and tea station, bottled water upon arrival, basic seasonings, pots, pans, utensils, and cooking tools, and dishwasher pods, dish soap, and paper towels.

Outdoor Space
One of the home’s standout features is the 400 sq ft partially covered, second-floor deck. It’s a great place to enjoy morning coffee, unwind after a busy day, or spend quiet evenings together—extra space you don’t often find in city homes.

This is a charming old house that has been updated nicely. It is very comfortable and very clean. I had great communication with the host before check in. We enjoyed our stay and next time we are in St. Louis we will be staying here again!

We loved our stay. The house was beautiful and had everything as described. It was easy to get to everything we wanted to do. The neighborhood was quiet. The host was responsive. The only thing to be aware of is that both bathrooms have claw-foot tubs. These can be hard to get in/out of if you are older.
