**MAKE SURE your guest count is accurate when booking, otherwise your reservation total can change or increase

**About our pricing model**
Because every property on VRBO (and other short term rental websites) are owned by a different owner, they will all have their own house rules and pay structures. We use a variable pricing model to give our guests more flexibility - dependent on the size of your group. Comparable property's to this will mostly be priced at a flat rate for 6 guests. But because our property has (surprisingly) received a lot of bookings in the past from solo couples (2 guests), we wanted to best accommodate this by starting at a decreased base price, and then allowing the price to be adjusted accordingly, dependent on the group size. So if you have 4-6 guests in your reservation, the pricing then increases to make it comparable to the other 6 guest property's in the area. We do conduct regular analysis' and comparisons, and we feel we have priced this property fairly and comparable to other similar spaces in the area - the only difference is it can vary dependent on your group size. Please reach out if you have any questions in regards to this.

>>>LOYALTY PROGRAM: Stay with us twice (at the same property), and you’ll receive 5% OFF of your stays FOR LIFE at that property. If you make it to 10 stays, then we will give you one free night to stay with us at any of our properties.
(Note: this only pertains to nightly rate costs, does not include any fees or taxes).

Tower Grove Park
This wooded Victorian strolling park rewards meandering. Its 340 kinds of trees could chart every shade of green, and they attract 200 kinds of birds, from red-shafted flickers and monk parakeets to ospreys and ring-billed gulls. Henry Shaw developed the park to give St. Louis “a grand pleasure ground,” with wide lanes for horse-drawn carriages, gates guarded by zinc griffins, and exotic pavilions and gazebos. Every few feet, there’s something to see: lions copied from the tomb of Pope Clement XIII, heroic sculptures (Shakespeare’s here), busts (including Mozart), and antiquities (columns from the Old Courthouse and stone “ruins” from the old Lindell Hotel, reflected in one of the most picturesque ponds in St. Louis). Park officials also recently uncovered a long-forgotten stream on the park's east side, accenting it with rain gardens and native plants on either side.

Perfect for a girls weekend
Myself and two friends met up for a weekend in St. Louis for a little reunion (we all lived here years ago). Great location, close to the Tower Grover Farmers Market and lots of fun new venues close to downtown and easy to get to the Zoo. Plenty of space in the living room to sit around and chat and super cute bedrooms and back porch and deck.

Spring break trip
This was our first Vrbo experience and out first trip to St. Louis. We had a great time and this was such a great experience. The property was wonderful and conveniently located. The owners were responsive to communication and easy to work with.

Great spot in the city
We enjoyed our stay here. The owners have taken great care in providing a comfortable well decorated home. The home was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. The bed we slept in was very comfortable and the linens were very nice. Thoughtful to leave a great manual with household rules and directions as well as local restaurant suggestions. A few things to consider: if you were mobility challenged - stairs to go upstairs to the bedrooms are narrow and steep. There is a suite below which you need to be aware of and mindful.

This place was perfect!
Beautiful house! We came to St. Louis for my son’s birthday weekend and this was perfect. The house was clean, it was extremely easy to communicate with the hosts, and it was a short drive to downtown St. Louis. It was nice to be able to cook breakfast and not have to eat out for every meal and we were all able to chill on the couch and watch TV after our busy days.

Cute place, great location.
We traveled to St Louis with our two adult sons. We chose this property due to location and number of rooms. The neighborhood is very cute and near the botanical garden which is a very cool place! Walkable to several restaurants. Everything we wanted to see in St Louis was a 10-15 minute drive, very convenient. The house had everything we needed. We liked the two outdoor spaces as well. Place is decorated well and very welcoming. There are two sets of steep stairs on either side of the house to get to the upper level where the bedrooms are. Would definitely stay again if we’re back in St Louis.

Hello, we've been on VRBO for a few years now, and we absolutely love it. When we travel we want to get the FULL LOCAL EXPERIENCE - which makes us feel like a local, in a local neighborhood, eating at local restaurants, and doing local things. This is what VRBO is ALL ABOUT. And now also as hosts, it brings us the greatest joy that we can offer these same experiences to travelers coming to our beautiful city.

My name is Tony, and with my wife Filomena and two fur babies we are the BOVE family. I am an A/V Project Manager for Centene and she is a Varicose Vein RN at St. Anthony's Hospital.

We are a young active couple that loves to travel (of course), cook at home or eat at unique restaurants, and have a good time with our friends. I am also an audio engineer and music enthusiast. I graduated from Full Sail University with 2 degrees in Recording Arts and Entertainment Business. Filomena has her nursing degree from Barnes-Jewish College of Nursing & Allied Health.

We are very active and always on the go, but we always have time for our guests!
