About this property
Cozy, Fun, and One-Of-A-Kind!
The Shaw Fox's Den is a cozy, unique, and fun basement space (w/ it's own private entry) that offers everything you'll need for a comfortable short term stay, while also adding all of the amenities and charm that would make you not want to leave (especially if you like foxes!). Uniquely decor'd & accented with rustic wood furniture, green shrubbery, and of course the fur-babies of the woods - this space truly has everything you would expect in a luxurious "human" FOX DEN! ;-)
The Shaw Fox's Den is a finished basement suite - a clever (like a fox) space that offers a private bedroom with a luxurious queen sized memory foam bed and 32” smart TV, a separate living-room space with 50” smart TV and a small full-size (73” x 46”) pull out sofa bed (w/ memory foam topper) that can sleep one easily or up to two (snuggly), full kitchenette area with mini-fridge/microwave/sink/tea-coffee maker (with tea & coffee provided), dining table that seats 4, full bathroom with shower and a small fold down vanity table w/ lighted mirror, closet/dresser/storage in bedroom, multiple fast charging USB power outlets, and a private entryway into the space.
*Please note: this is a basement suite, and there is another rental space above this space in the main portion of the house.
**please be sure to read over all house rules before booking**
**MAKE SURE your guest count is accurate when booking, otherwise your reservation total can change or increase .............................
*NEIGHBORHOOD DETAILS The Shaw Fox's Den is located in the beautiful Shaw/Tower Grove neighborhood, which is currently one of the most popular, hippest, and safest neighborhoods in STL City. Once you experience it you'll see just how beautiful, green, and quiet it truly is. The den is also walking distance to a number of premier-rated restaurants, coffee houses, bars, wine bars, ice cream shops, the MO Botanical Garden, and of course....beautiful Tower Grove Park! TG Park has miles and miles of paved roads, which makes it perfect to take the scooters on for hours of fun zipping around outside in the beautiful scenery.

Tower Grove Park This wooded Victorian strolling park rewards meandering. Its 340 kinds of trees could chart every shade of green, and they attract 200 kinds of birds, from red-shafted flickers and monk parakeets to ospreys and ring-billed gulls. Henry Shaw developed the park to give St. Louis “a grand pleasure ground,” with wide lanes for horse-drawn carriages, gates guarded by zinc griffins, and exotic pavilions and gazebos. Every few feet, there’s something to see: lions copied from the tomb of Pope Clement XIII, heroic sculptures (Shakespeare’s here), busts (including Mozart), and antiquities (columns from the Old Courthouse and stone “ruins” from the old Lindell Hotel, reflected in one of the most picturesque ponds in St. Louis). Park officials also recently uncovered a long-forgotten stream on the park's east side, accenting it with rain gardens and native plants on either side.
Also right on the other side of the park is the Grand Avenue strip - which is full of eclectic shops and amazing eateries - many of which serve authentic Asian & Middle-Eastern cuisines, along with classic American favorites.

The home was exactly as described. It took me a minute to get used to the low ceilings, and my boyfriend did have to duck in a few spots, but that is all in the description. It was perfect for our trip!
Beautiful place to stay for couples!! Sasha's on Shaw was delicious!! Budweiser Brew house on game day was awesome! 32 Endless Beer, Hotdogs, burgers, and nachos. And you get to watch the ball game from the roof!! The Fabulous Fox Theater was absolutely beautiful!!
Cute, clean, and cozy! The host is very responsive and communicates with ease and efficiency! There is a beautiful botanical garden within walking distance plus some shops and cafes. It is close by to alot of attractions. They do have scooters available but unfortunately we did not utilize. The only downfall was the upstairs renters being loud late night/early morning but for only a short period. 10/10, would stay again and would recommend!
Such a cozy and pleasant space! It was warm and well appointed!

I did not find this basement room to be clean. The bathroom floor moldings showed evidence of prior flooding. The upstairs guest noises can be heard clearly.
The property was really well decorated and check-in was easy. The property was comfortable and the decor theme was really enjoyable for us! We were able to park on the street and walk to coffee shops and restaurants close by. I would recommend staying here to explore St Louis!
We loved staying here! Best Vrbo I’ve ever stayed it. Had everything we needed. It is so cute. The pull out bed was even great. We would love to stay here again. 10/10 recommend!
The property was perfect for what we needed. We were in town for a ballgame so we really just needed a spot to sleep. The place was clean and the are was quiet!
