Unfortunate timing
The property itself was fine overall. Three bedrooms, comfortable beds. My family stayed just one night while we were moving cross-country, so we didn’t arrive until after 11pm. A storm had knocked out the power in the house, which does not take away from the property itself, but we were dissatisfied with how the owner handled the situation. We respectfully asked for a partial refund, as we were not warned of the power issue and did not get to utilize the property as advertised, and his response was uninterested in finding a suitable resolution, he tried to shift responsibility to the electric company, and then he simply stopped responding. I would not recommend staying here.

2024 Eclipse
We booked this property as a base for a trip to south eastern Missouri to see the 2024 solar eclipse. It worked great for the 5 of us + dog. Property exceeded all expectations! Plenty of room, clean, well appointed with all the cooking and supplies we would need. Proximity to Castlewood state park was a plus. Communications with the owner were great.

Great race and weather
Lovely weather for Ozark Foothills race which we went to watch. Really great race! Beds good, livingroom furniture ok. Home was in need of a deep thorough clean. Light fixtures and ceiling fans furry with grimy dirt, cobwebs and dead bugs on window sills and light fixtures, and top step still loose(as mentioned in previous review). Kitchen minimally stocked. No dishtowels and minimal mixing/baking dishes. Messaged owner morning of checkout about a few things and a week later still no response...

Quiet place close to a lot
Property was just as described. We were very comfortable there. Close to our relatives and suburban shopping, dining, etc. Also close to the city of St. Louis.

Great little break!
We got excited about our stay even before we arrived, driving through the beautiful area approaching the property. This was a welcome break for us to soak up nature and enjoy a quiet night of rest.

Visit to StL
The property fit our needs well. We were a group of 4 with two dogs. Plenty of cookware, dishes, towels, etc. beds were comfortable. A/C was welcome given the unseasonably warm weather. Road leading to the home could be a little difficult to navigate if there is winter weather.

Family time
Great setting in the woods. A few items of note: toilet paper holder very loose, fell off often, top step of stairs is loose and could easily cause a fall, window sills had bugs, kitchen and main bedroom need repainting badly-scuff marks made those rooms look dirty and untidy. We felt the house was put together quickly for a rental and not finished properly. We enjoyed the area, but were disappointed in the house.

Beautiful home in a beautiful part of town
This home was perfect for our trip back to STL. In a quiet neighborhood with lovely scenery. Located directly behind my favorite hiking spot. House was clean and beds super comfortable. Host was very good at communication and responding
