About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Centrally located in the Tower Grove East neighborhood!

**Note: If you book for dates Oct 15-22 we are offering a 25% discount - because there will be zero to limited access of the front door (due to porch repairs), and you will need to use the rear entrance and backyard to enter & exit the property, which may be an inconvenience……. ……. The World's Fair Retreat will not only give you one of the most unique and enjoyable stays in the Midwest, but it will also take you back in time to 1904 when St. Louis was not only a major industrial empire, but a crown jewel of the ENTIRE WORLD - thanks to the 1904 World's Fair held in the Forest Park of St. Louis. This retreat is situated in the cozy and hip Tower Grove East neighborhood, where true STL city locals live, shop, eat, drink, and be merry! A one-of-a-kind St. Louis experience you will not forget!

You'll be enchanted by the elegant design/decor that is ALL based around the early century Victorian era and the STL World's Fair. The retreat is completely decorated with art, photos, aerial maps, antiques, original postcards, books, and memorabilia from the fair that will give any visitor or history buff a true understanding of how truly grand this event was.

More than just 1 or 2? No problem - there is a queen sized memory foam sleeper sofa in the living room AND a queen sized memory foam pull out bed in the dining room. AND there's also a full tea/coffee station along with a few breakfast items we keep stocked for you (which is fun to prepare and then enjoy in the relaxing breakfast room). Perfect for helping you get energized in the mornings!

Ready to go explore? There are 2 road bikes available onsite for guests to rent for a minimal fee (see in pics). Gorgeous Tower Grove Park is only 4 blocks away, the Grand Ave. strip is about 6 blocks away, and the Missouri Botanical Garden is about 1 mile away! Plus...there’s so much more to see in the surrounding area!

There’s always plenty of free street parking right in front of the house. It’s a very quiet block, so there’s not a lot of traffic of activity.

Please advise: there is a security camera on the exterior of the house to protect our guests and the property, and to deter guests from throwing unauthorized parties.

**please be sure to read over all of the house rules before booking**

**MAKE SURE your guest count is accurate when booking, otherwise your reservation total can change or increase

*NEIGHBORHOOD DETAILS
The Tower Grove East neighborhood is conveniently located near 2 highways and a number of popular city attractions, parks, and neighborhoods. The retreat is only 1 block away from one of the best (and highest Yelp rated) BBQ joints in the city - The Shaved Duck. Also very close by in walking distance is another handful of popular local bars, restaurants, convenient stores, and Tower Grove Park.

Tower Grove Park
This wooded Victorian strolling park rewards meandering. Its 340 kinds of trees could chart every shade of green, and they attract 200 kinds of birds, from red-shafted flickers and monk parakeets to ospreys and ring-billed gulls. Henry Shaw developed the park to give St. Louis “a grand pleasure ground,” with wide lanes for horse-drawn carriages, gates guarded by zinc griffins, and exotic pavilions and gazebos. Every few feet, there’s something to see: lions copied from the tomb of Pope Clement XIII, heroic sculptures (Shakespeare’s here), busts (including Mozart), and antiquities (columns from the Old Courthouse and stone “ruins” from the old Lindell Hotel, reflected in one of the most picturesque ponds in St. Louis). Park officials also recently uncovered a long-forgotten stream on the park's east side, accenting it with rain gardens and native plants on either side.

Tower Grove Park - key events
- Tower Grove Pride Fest
- Festival of Nations
- Food Truck Friday’s

We had the best time, and the house was perfect. Several times we walked to the park and to the local shops. It was a great getaway. We had a bit of struggle getting the bikes but the host responded well and took care of us.

Very clean, felt safe in the neighborhood, amenities were great! Only thing I would suggest is optional room darkening curtains for the bedroom. The current curtain would not block out all light. But that’s just a personal preference. Overall amazing and would definitely stay again!

My wife and I had a superb two night stay here. Zero complaints. Easy parking, great location, and check in/out was a breeze. House is well kept and has all the amenities one could ask for. Shaved Duck is literally a block away and has a quaint bar and some of the best BBQ in STL.

Comfortable Stay

We had to book our stay will just a few weeks notice, and had to make an additional change to our booking when we faced some unforeseen circumstances. The owners were very accommodating, provided clear instructions and communication about the property.
