Most practical Stay we’ve had

This was the cutest little cottage that had everything we needed. We like to cook at home and we’ve never had all the things needed when staying other places but everything we needed was available and amazing! Our pup had a great time in the yard also.

Excellent Location, Wonderful amenities

Our second stay at this cottage was just as lovely as our first. The setup is perfect for 2 people with lots of space so you feel very comfortable. They also welcomed our dogs and have a great yard for them to hang out in. The cottage is close to St Louis, but still has a country living feel. Owners are quick to respond to any questions and lovely to deal with. We recommend this cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Alex Smith

Host profile image
I like to work puzzles. I grew up on a Christmas Tree farm in Texas. I’ve flown 10 types of aircraft. My wife is a rockstar. I love my country and our liberty. My first pet was a rabbit. I don’t like olives, but love olive oil.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was a pool house about 35yrs ago! The pool was filled in decades ago and the pool house was abandoned. We bought the property in 2021 and resurrected it to be a cool cottage in the woods with a fun outdoor space. It has been a passion project for us, so we hope you enjoy it!
