We loved the location right next to the trails. Walked to the Wooden Nickel and a short drive to the Cabin. Only used the toaster, but the kitchen was well stocked. Sophie was great!We will definitely stay there again for long stays. Not economical for shorter stays because of the cleaning fee.

We loved your home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in your charming home! It was exceptionally clean and organized, with so many extra things to improve our stay. All of the dishes, silverware, pots, etc were new, which is quite often not the case in these cottages. Nice towels and bedding, too. The owner's attention to detail surely provided us with a carefree stay and a terrific setting for a much-needed getaway!

Visiting Family

The little house was clean, private and well cared for. My mom is in an elderly facility in Glen Carbon & we wanted her to be able to spend the day with us as a family. She is 96 & needs naps so it worked well for her to lie down but be close to us. Mom love’s movies so we enjoyed streaming.
