Comfy and Cozy

We came to Waterloo to visit family for Christmas. We always wanted to stay in a log cabin. This one didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about it! The bed was so comfortable, we slept in every single day! The owners were very easy to get ahold of. Great experience all around!

Clean and Cozy

We really enjoyed our stay in Waterloo. The cabin is well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Because it is a cabin, the windows are small so there is less natural light, but the place offers good privacy. All entrance access and directions were clear and accurate.

Perfect Cabin in a Perfect Place

This is our second time staying in this wonderful cozy cabin. For a small space it feels so large inside and that is because the owners have done an amazing job of laying it out. There is every creature comfort you need, as well as a wonderful table outside and a firepit with seating area to enjoy this picturesque small town. Everything was very clean. We will be back as soon as we can!

Cozy little cabin :)

We had a great stay in Waterloo at the cabin! We were there just for a quick, two-night trip. The cabin is so cozy and quaint. It is super clean, and I loved the decor! Check-in and check-out were very straight forward. Very easy to get to and parking is very convenient, just a few steps away from the front door. It is just a few minute walk from downtown Waterloo and a very easy drive back and forth to the STL Airport. Rika was a pleasure to talk to and work with. I highly suggest this property if you find yourself in Waterloo!

Walking distance to downtown attractions

We needed a quick getaway and this cabin was a perfect fit. This cabin is within walking distance of the downtown area but also very drivable to St. Louis attractions. It is not secluded and within a neighborhood, so you'll pick up on some traffic nearby. Also, we stayed during a colder weekend and the noise from the heater kicking on and off kept waking us up. If you're a light sleeper and plan to use the heater, be sure to bring earplugs. There were some games to use and a television, for more modern conveniences. The kitchen was fully stocked, but quite a few of the dishes we needed to use had to be rewashed. No big deal. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Who knew you could have a cozy cabin experience inside a small town neighborhood! Just blocks from the Main street life was an unexpected bonus. My partner and I will definitely be booking here again.
