Graduation Weekend!

My entire family came out to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from SLU. The home was big enough so everyone had their own space, but we could enjoy time together on the main floor! Highly recommend this lovely historic location!

All we hoped would be

We had such a great time at this house. It was nostalgic and cool to stay in it. The kids had so much fun and all the room were spacious. With our larger group we loved the large open feel and privacy with drive way and yard. We appreciated the kitchen and how stocked the house was with towels, blankets and pillows. We will definitely stay again.

Close to the Botanical Gardens

Overall a good. A few things of note. A very nicely furnished kitchen. If you want to cook your meals you have what you need. If you have problems with stairs do not stay here. Stairs to the front door and lots of stairs to each floor. We were able to park 2 cars in the driveway. If you have a very small car you might be able to park an additional car in the backyard. Back yard needing some work and furniture on deck was really dirty and unuseable. B

Anniversary Milestone in St. Louis

My siblings and I booked the house for our immediate families to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. We planned several activities that happened to be nearby to do as a family. The house was a 10-15 min. drive to most of the activities and that was great. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and never had too much of an issue parking four vehicles in the drive or on nearby street parking. The lodging arrangements were excellent as we had room for five families (15 people) to spread out. Only having two full bathrooms proved to be a bit of a trick, but we were able to manage. We used the kitchen to prepare and serve several meals. The kitchen--while nice--is arranged rather poorly for meal prep. There were several items that were not available-Ex. mixing bowls, measuring utensils, spatulas, more than one 9x13 pan and cookie sheets. These could be remedied by a quick trip to the nearby IKEA. We also had to get creative to find a way to get the outdoor gas grill lit, as the ignitor was bad and there were no lighters available. We ran short of toilet paper on day 3 of 5. Had to pick up more. Two rolls per bathroom is not enough for 15 people for 5 days The air conditioning had a difficult time keeping up on the 1st floor. 2nd and 3rd floor seemed to be ok-the air conditioners were able to catch up during the evening. It was 90+ degrees for all the days we were there. Overall, we were very happy with the house and would definitely utilize it again.

Property is about 20-25 minutes from the airport, which is super convenient when arriving later in the day. When you walk in the house you are greeted with a clean and airy foyer. The house is truly awesome. Stained glass windows and large baseboards. The bedroom arrangement was super convenient with the large group I had. The home owners were very easy to deal with and attentive to our needs. I have stayed in a lot of VRBO houses all over the country and this one is top notch

We stayed here and at a property nearby for a family reunion. The house was as described. The owner was responsive. Our family (ages: infant to 70 years old) felt comfortable staying here and walking through the neighborhood to the other property. Only drawback was that the 3 rooms on the 3rd floor shared 1 bathroom. The house was as described and we’d be happy to stay here again in the future!

Great stay with great host

My family and I stayed at this property for my brother’s college graduation. We have previously stayed at this property, and it was just as great this time as the previous stay. This time I brought along my 1 year old daughter and was very happy they had a high chair, several gates, and a pack and play available for use. The host Ann was very responsive before our trip and was able to quickly respond to any questions I had. We love the charm of this house and appreciated playing games in the dining room and back yard. Definitely recommend this property! The area felt pretty safe, we went on several walk around the area without any issues.

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO places over the past 14 years with our groups. This was undoubtedly the most accommodating and welcoming property we have ever stayed at. It was fully equipped, had more-than-adequate towels, dishes, utensils and space. It made the trip so much more enjoyable for our group. I would stay here again in a minute! It is a great location, a magnificent house, and a very accommodating host.

A Magical House!

My sister and I stayed in this home with our children and it is magical! There's charm and beauty everywhere. The seating in the living room and dining room is plentiful. The kitchen has a lot of space and convenience for making meals. The pantry is wonderful for all of the snacks we brought. The laundry and half bath on the main floor made things even easier. The bedrooms are large and there are plenty of them! The bathrooms are nicely updated. The secret room is cute and we even found a trick wall between a closet and another bedroom on the middle floor. Having a long driveway to park in was icing on the cake. The only down side was the cold. It's an old and very large home so we had to rely on thick socks/slippers, throw blankets and warm drinks. If you need a place for a large group of people and love an old house, this one is the best we have found in the area. Oh! and the owner is quick with communication. We felt very well taken care of.
