This was the perfect vacation home for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. The location can’t be beat. We loved the game room and yard with BBQ. The house was clean and updated beautifully. The showers were exceptional. Comfortable beds, nice and cool, too. If we make it back to St. Louis this is where we’ll stay.

Perfect house for traveling with a 3 year old. Everything we needed was there, for adults and kids. We took a trip to the zoo. If it hadn’t been too hot, we could have walked. When we come back we will definitely stay there again.

To future guests with dogs: yes, its fully fenced in.We had a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and located in a quiet, safe neighborhood just a mile walk from Forest Park and the St. Louis Zoo. It’s a fantastic location for exploring the city. The pool table was a fun bonus, and we especially appreciated the blackout curtains since we’re a family of night owls. Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. We’d happily stay here again!
