100/10 - an absolute standout stay. The space was incredibly comfortable while still feeling upscale and thoughtfully designed. Every detail felt intentional, and it created such a warm, stylish atmosphere.The hosts truly set this place apart. They were so kind and accommodating - offering tea or coffee as soon as we arrived and even texting us breakfast options to have ready in the morning, which was such a thoughtful touch.You can really feel the care and vision they have for bringing something special to Ironton. It’s more than just a place to stay - it feels like they’re creating an experience. Would absolutely stay here again.

From the moment I saw Pickle & Perk from the outside, I knew how cute it was going to be in the inside! No detail was left spared in the rental, cafe, or boutique! The owners are super nice, attainable, and they are genuinely interested to hear about your day and adventures! The rental was very nice, clean and comfortable. Had everything you need for a quick getaway. What better way to spend a vacation than with an amazing coffee shop right below the place you’re staying. Everything was excellent! If I didn’t live so far away, I’d definitely be a regular!

This place was absolutely perfect for a stay near the black river! Super fun and modern decor. The kitchen had lots of space and washer/dryer was nice for our hiking/float trip. There’s a nice front searing area as well where you can meet up with your friends/family each evening. Pickleball court was a great bonus! Loved your place.

Steph & Dave were terrific hosts. They went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Our apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We made this a short working getaway, and were able to work from the kitchen area with no problems. There are plenty of restaurant options within a short walk, and the town is a great place to take a quiet stroll. We've been to the area a few times recently, and it has been refreshing to see the progress this family is making in restoring their downtown.

Wonderful Stay in Ironton

We had a great stay and were so impressed with the design and beautiful furnishings. We enjoyed all the personal touches and the apartment had everything we needed. David and Stephanie are gracious hosts and it was so nice to talk with them and discover they have so many wonderful plans for other projects in Ironton. They serve up amazing coffee and Stephanie’s boutique had a great selection of stylish clothing and jewelry. We will definitely be staying here again.

Fabulous!

My husband and I booked this rental for a motorcycle trip and found it to be a fabulous place with fabulous owners who own a fabulous coffee shop in the same building as the rental. We so enjoyed going down several times a day for our coffee fix and amazing bakery treats. The apartment is adorable. David and Stephanie were such fun to get to know. Stay at their fabulous rental and you will not be disappointed.

Perfection

This was the most adorable property! We came in town for a mtb race at Shepard mountain and I feel like I really lucked out finding this little gem! Extremely clean, well decorated, comfy beds. It provided us with all of our needs. The owners were beyond accommodating and communicative. The yummy cafe was a definite plus. I even got some adorable booties in the boutique. We will stay every trip to Ironton (hopefully).

Ironton Getaway

The apt. was extremely clean and comfortable.The pillows were amazing and the view from the living room was so cool looking over the courtyard and very quiet street.The kitchen was well stocked with any appliance you could imagine to create a gourmet meal(cute pink fridge). The lighted mirror was a plus in the bathroom, so was the washer/dryer and walk-in shower. Pickle & Perk cafe downstairs was a clencher, the best cappuccino in the USA and breakfast and lunch items were all delicious.We really enjoyed talking with Stephanie and Dave during our stay.5 stars for the aptartment, cafe and pickleball court will definitely be bringing us back here again soon.

It’s a great location to be able to walk to shops and restaurants in Ironton. It was a short drive to visit and hike at Millstream Gardens. The breakfast at Pickle & Perk was delicious and we had enough to have two meals. We recommend the chocolate chip banana muffins along with the egg hand pie. We stayed in the courtyard so there was some noise in the mornings when the restaurant opened due to it being directly below us. The place was spacious, clean and comfortable. We appreciated being able to bring our dog.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! The location was perfect for exploring the area, with easy access to Elephant Rocks, Johnson’s Shut-Ins, and Mina Sauk Falls. It made a great home base for our adventures throughout southeastern Missouri.One of the highlights of our trip was the pickle ball court right outside the suite. Our family looked forward to our nightly matches after a day of hiking and exploring. There is also a park directly across the road, which was perfect for our baby to enjoy and burn off some energy.The condo was comfortable, convenient, and exactly what we were looking for. The cafe was a 10/10 with great food and drinks. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Mayer

Host profile image
We chose Arcadia Valley because it’s a hidden gem of Missouri — surrounded by beautiful mountains, hiking trails, and beloved outdoor spots like Elephant Rocks and Johnson’s Shut-Ins. We wanted to create a destination that feels both adventurous and relaxing, right in the heart of a small town with big charm.

Why they chose this property

Pickle & Perk is more than just a place to stay — it’s an experience. We combined a boutique café, a pickleball court, and designer-crafted micro hotel suites, all in one spot. You can grab gourmet coffee, play a match on the court, or relax in one of our thoughtfully designed Airbnb suites (hello, pink fridge and emerald kitchen!). It’s where small-town soul meets stylish, unforgettable stays.

What makes this property unique

We’re Steph & Dave, a husband-and-wife team passionate about design, community, and creating spaces that bring people together. We’ve been featured on Discovery Channel and Magnolia for our builds and interiors, and we’ve poured our heart into Pickle & Perk to make it a one-of-a-kind getaway for you. We’re thrilled to host you and can’t wait for you to experience everything we love about this place.
