I was here for an extended period for work in the area and this lovely little cottage was wonderful as a home away from home. Very comfortable and clean. The host, Sophie, was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Close to Glen Carbon bike trails and some pretty great eats with The Cabin and The Wooden Nickle, and it's within a reasonable distance to hop over the river and explore St. Louis. I would 100% stay again if back in the area for vacation.

We loved the location right next to the trails. Walked to the Wooden Nickel and a short drive to the Cabin. Only used the toaster, but the kitchen was well stocked. Sophie was great!We will definitely stay there again for long stays. Not economical for shorter stays because of the cleaning fee.

We loved your home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in your charming home! It was exceptionally clean and organized, with so many extra things to improve our stay. All of the dishes, silverware, pots, etc were new, which is quite often not the case in these cottages. Nice towels and bedding, too. The owner's attention to detail surely provided us with a carefree stay and a terrific setting for a much-needed getaway!
