We cannot say enough great things about this little oasis - neat as a pin, cutely decorated, has all the amenities and then some, nice parking spots, great communication with the owners, and so close to campus. I cannot wait to come back! Thank you Bill and Pamela for a memorable visit! ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily K.

Also, it’s so nice and quiet which was what we were looking for. The bed is extremely soft, which I love and my husband doesn’t so mixed reviews on that from us, lol. All on all it’s perfect for a quiet getaway for two people. ##### Emily K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara W. Feb 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home This was such a cute home. I really enjoyed my stay there. It was quiet, tucked back of a busy road. There were horses across the street and deer in the back yard! Perfect! I was thinking I could really live in a small house like this. I loved the porch in the front where I sat and read. I also loved how you have decorated it. ##### Barbara W.

The location is semi-rural and quiet, but close to Columbia's attractions. We used it as a base for biking portions of the Katy Trail. Recommended without hesitation. ##### RANDALL S.

It’s very clean and comfortable with a great yard and plenty of privacy. The location is a short drive from downtown. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Linda H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Brandin H., St. Louis, MO Sep 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Nite Owl Cottage The property was not as secluded as we expected. Outdoors there was a lot of road noise from a very busy thoroughfare to the north. However, indoors The Nite Owl Cottage is well insulated and so very quiet. Our property managers, the owners, were fantastic--warm and friendly and gracious. We appreciated the welcome we received. But for the proximity of the property to busy streets, we were happy with our stay. ##### Brandin H. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019
