About the host
Hosted by Peggy & Jon
Hello. I’m Peggy and along with my husband, Jon, we will be your hosts. We were both raised in Steelville and we love our small town. We enjoy being outside and working in the yard. Jon and I both enjoy hosting and sharing our cottage with others. We invite you to be our guests.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage once belonged to our grandparents and adjoins our family farm. We wanted to see the cottage restored and that’s how we became to own a vacation rental, named after our grandmother, Viola.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is conveniently located near downtown Steelville. However, you are still in the country and can enjoy the wildlife and the history of the farm and property. Meramec River access included with your stay.
