Family Getaway

Our stay was good. Unfortunately, we had lots of rain and thunderstorms. It appeared as those the master suite sustained some water damage from the rain on the left wall. I’m not sure if that was to be expected or not. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay.

STL Visit

Nice property for our visit to St. Louis. It was easy to get to many attractions. There was a nice park for our kids to play at nearby. It is a on a busy street near a hospital so tends to be loud with cars and ambulances.

Overall we had a Wonderful stay! Getting into the ally with a Big truck was hard especially with all of the road work. We weren't able to get in or out at specific times. The house is beautiful on the inside but so so on the outside. Next to a Very busy road! Ambulances, fire trucks, cops, traffic all night long. It was an awesome location though close to everything we wanted do. todo!during the dayoutside.
