About the host
Hosted by Becky Jecha
I am a native of St Louis Mo, and started my short term rental business early 2017, after a career change. I fell in love with my guests and the process...so, having wanted to own a guest house for 4 years before that, I decided to expand and create something special! Something a little fun and unique. A place for family and friends to make memories! I ABSOLUTELY love what I do and I am so excited to have you as my guest!
Why they chose this property
It spoke to me. I had been seeking a guest home in another area, on another 5th St, that looked almost the same...and it just wasn't working out...then, one morning....there was The Shanty! Now, I am in love with the town and the people!
What makes this property unique
These beds are AMAZING! Large rooms, everything is new!!!!!! Spacious back yard and patio to enjoy early mornings or late nights! Walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants and the Ampitheatre. Or, take the Trolley from your front door!
