Walking distance to downtown attractions

We needed a quick getaway and this cabin was a perfect fit. This cabin is within walking distance of the downtown area but also very drivable to St. Louis attractions. It is not secluded and within a neighborhood, so you'll pick up on some traffic nearby. Also, we stayed during a colder weekend and the noise from the heater kicking on and off kept waking us up. If you're a light sleeper and plan to use the heater, be sure to bring earplugs. There were some games to use and a television, for more modern conveniences. The kitchen was fully stocked, but quite a few of the dishes we needed to use had to be rewashed. No big deal. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Anniversary getaway

Who knew you could have a cozy cabin experience inside a small town neighborhood! Just blocks from the Main street life was an unexpected bonus. My partner and I will definitely be booking here again.

About the host

Hosted by Rika Beckley

I was bitten by the travel bug as a child and never recovered. I've visited all 50 states and so far have been to 42 countries on 4 continents. I LOVE meeting people from all over the world, and especially hosting them in the welcoming, charming town of Waterloo. My dad's side of the family has roots in this area

Why they chose this property

My dad, uncle and grandfather built this cabin in 1953 on the Wolf property. Across the yard is the timber frame chalet my dad added in 1997. I love this location!! Walk to town but close to the city. Our guests typically come to visit St. Louis and are pleasantly surprised by all Waterloo has to offer.

What makes this property unique

If you "like" our social media page (Timberwolf, Waterloo IL) you will see links to area attractions. Small town, country living while near the city provides the best of both worlds.
