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!

**If you book for dates June 23-27 then check in time will not be available until after 6pm……. ……. 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
- Tuesday & Saturday Farmer’s Market
- Outdoor Yoga on Saturday’s
- Monday eve Concerts In The Park

Missouri Botanical Gardens
- Whitaker Music Festival: every Wednesday night with live music (May through July)

Home Away from home!

I felt at home immediately! Literally every amenity was thought of from olive oil and garlic powder to make-up wipes and Bath and Body shower gel.The house was beautifully decorated and all the wonderful information on the guide book was top notch. I really enjoyed the neighborhood. Having lived in the STL metro 5 years before need to stay here. I always love learning about parts of STL and South CITY STL residence are a class unto themselves. The house was conveniently located to Gravois Ave. where you can find absolutely everything. The house is literally withing 5 miles of at least 2 large grocery stores and then things like QT Gas Station and Dollar General. I never had an issue with parking. The keyless lock and security system made me feel very safe. There was a tornado while I was there….my mom (new to the mid-west) was freaking out but I was able to keep her calm and remind her the house is over 100 years old and we were in the basement and going to be fine.Speaking of my mom….I was there to recuperate for a producer she was there to take care of me…not very techy…I was way too weak to be bothered with the fact that she couldn’t get the TV to work. But the host stayed on the phone with her until he helped her figure it out. Enjoyed my time there and would stay again.

St. Lois World Fair House

The house is really well decorated with antique pieces pertaining to the 1904 world's fair in a cleverly updated 100-year-old house. It has all the modern amenities that people desire while giving the illusion of living in a different era with easy access to all things fun about this interesting city. Toni and his wife provided a wealth of historic information about the world's fair plus current events and sites of interest. So, savor the flavor of this special house and unique city.

Our flight was delayed so we arrived very late to the property but the neighborhood seemed safe at that late hour. The house was well appointed and we got a good night's sleep since it was nice & quiet. Tony was very responsive to a question we had and we'd love to return when we have more time to explore.

Excellent experience

My family and I needed a place to stay while attending a nearby event, and this was perfect. The location was incredibly convenient, close to everywhere we needed to go. And the rental itself is in a beautiful part of the city. Everything was clean and in good order, we were very comfortable during our stay. The fold out beds are very comfortable and did not leave us feeling cramped in the space when they were folded out. We also needed to check in early and our host communicated with us through the whole process, and was very accommodating while also working within the schedule of the cleaner. Highly recommend!
