This is a beautiful home in a quiet beautiful setting. The host was great to work with and responded quickly to any questions we had. Would highly recommend!
Excellent experience. Host was great. House is charming and very clean. The area around is very quiet and private. Got to see several kinds of wildlife. We had a great time and if we make the trip again next year, this will be the first place we look to book!
Thank you for a wonderful stay at your beautiful home! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house felt so cozy and inviting, yet offered plenty of space for everyone to spread out, along with many great areas to gather. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. We also enjoyed the relaxing waterfall and koi pond, as well the outdoor fireplace on our crisp fall evenings here. Enjoying the sunrise from the lovely wrap-around porch was another highlight! Patrick, our host, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We had a great experience and we look forward to coming to stay again the next time we are in town.
Our host was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The property was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and offered the perfect amount of privacy.We truly can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Whenever we return to St. Louis, this will absolutely be our first choice. We look forward to staying here again!
Absolutely stunning home! Beautiful, love the koy pond!
