Beautiful Historic Home!

Our family (5 adults) used this proprty as our base to explore St. Louis. Great neighborhood (walked to dinner one night) with easy acess to Busch Stadium and Union Station (less than 10 minutes to each). Susan greeted us at the property and gave us a quick tour of things and we were on our way. Wonderful weekend and a great lodging experience!

My family of five, all adults, had a magical holiday in this historic home. We cooked, watched football, played games, read quietly, walked the neighborhood park, and frequented neighborhood businesses. The character of the home delighted us throughout!

Perfect house and location for our road trip!

Driving in from Columbus as a family of 5 we wanted a house that had historic culture, and this place did not disappoint! Lafayette square is awesome and the house was great. Plenty of room for our family and the bonus theater room was great for the kids to unwind after a busy day. Host was responsive and helpful too!

Lovely historic home

This lovely historical home was a special place to celebrate a getaway weekend in St Louis. We enjoyed the nearby cafe for morning coffee at Park Avenue Cafe ( their cappuccino chocolate chip muffins are delish) and the restaurants. The back deck of the home was great for visiting with friends. The decor and architecture were elegant, the art fascinating. Hosts wonderful.
