Steve was always prompt to respond when I had questions. Had dvds, cds, vhs tapes and more nostalgia. The beds were very comfortable (and I’m super picky) and the towels were soft. A morning dove made her nest in the ballasts right next to the back door. And when it rained, the tin roof over the porch sounded amazing! My only complaint was that we couldn’t stay longer. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Darshea H. May 4, 2018 #### Great time with family The entire weekend my family spent was nice and amazing. Very quiet and the home was equipped with everything we needed. Our first time ever renting, the owner was very nice and made sure we got in safe and had no issues. He was available anytime and everytime. We made a nice bonfire on our second night and it was the best ever. Time away from the city life to just sit by the fire and watch the stars. The home is very spacious and has that home away from home country feel. So many movies, we had a family movie night. Went out on the town and just enjoyed our surroundings. We will definitely be back soon. ##### Darshea H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori E.

We accidentally left something there and contacted Steve. He was going to be in the St. Louis area the following day and went out of his way to drop the item off to us. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed for the 5 nights we were there. Will definitely stay there again when we are in the area. ##### Lori E.

Aug 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family summer getaway We came for a family summer getaway with our children ranging 12 to 6 months and had a fantastic time. The house was roomy and well equipped and the owner was very responsive to our concerns. It has a large deck overlooking fields and hills, and a very large yard(with a firepit; campfire smores etc.) with plenty of room for the kids to run and play. A added perk(which we didn't notice on the listing) was the basement room with a couch and foozeball table which was a great place for the kids to play. There is a additional cabin on the property which was empty most of our stay. We had a amazing, fun and relaxing family vacation! Charming, very comfortable house in quiet scenic location. Definitely recommended. ##### abe k. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie S.

Found all the kitchen pots and pans and gadgets needed. Plenty of parking. We all love to play board games so the big square kitchen table was a dream. Really helped with interaction vs a rectangular table. Lol. ##### Julie S.
