Folky Fun

We came to the beautiful Meramec Spring for a music festival, and this was a great cozy home just a short drive away. If camping is not necessarily your thing, I’d recommend this VRBO for comfort and convenience. The beds were comfy, which is a must for me. We didn’t spend a lot of time here, but it was quiet and peaceful for sleeping and grabbing some coffee in the morning. It’s right in town, and the road to the Park is winding (and dark at night, just beware). Overall great, already reserved again.

Great little house in St James

We stayed for the weekend. The house was just as pictured, recently remodeled and very clean. We did not not really use the kitchen, but it seemed well stocked. There were towels, snacks, and all the basic supplies you would need for a short stay. The neighborhood was very quiet. The bed in the back bedroom is squeaky, but it was fine. We had a great weekend. Would definitely stay again.

Pleasant Stay

The house was just as described. This was the second time we stayed in one of their homes. The only issue I have, and this prevented me from 5 stars, was we arrived a little after the check in time, and the owners (I am assuming), were there outside and before check out time, they drove by (this was a dead end street). This made us a bit nervous and irritated.

Nice Place to Stay

Nice house, very clean and well stocked. The bedroom in the back has a very noisy mattress but it was comfortable to sleep on so we didn't mind. Convenient location. We spent time in Rolla, at some wineries in St. James, on a float trip at Garrison's campground in Steelville, and at Meramec Spring Park. It was a good central location to get to all of those. Plenty of room for our group of 4. Used the gas grill in the backyard and it worked great. Easy and quick communication with the owner and great price too. We will book again if we're in the area.

Fugitive Family

Overall it was a good stay, we had a good time. Just FYI, the window in the second bedroom near the bathroom does not lock. The microwave was super dirty and there was trash left under the bed in the back room. There were no paper towels and the first bathroom had a black ring around the tub.
