Long Weekend Stay

From the time we booked this place until checkout the host was great! She provided everything we would need for 4 babies and 4 adults for a long weekend away. The home is in a location that provides quick access to all the places to go in St. Louis. It was clean, comfortable, and easy to find. We would stay here again!

Quiet & Convenient

We just wrapped up a wonderful stay at this VRBO, and it truly delivered on comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. The space was inviting and family-friendly, with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. From the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy beds, everything was exactly as described—if not better.The location was ideal—close to local attractions but tucked away enough to enjoy some peace and quiet. Our hosts were incredibly responsive and welcoming, offering clear instructions and great recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience.

Easter in STL!

We stayed in this beautiful home in Dogtown for Easter. We were visiting with our dog and this place was PERFECT! The home is on a very quiet cul-de-sac and it was a good neighborhood for walks with our dog. There is a fenced in backyard with AMPLE space for dogs-and people! The home is very clean, very nicely appointed for humans and pets-the beds are so comfortable! The owner made it so easy to check in, to manage our dog away from home (it was very rainy and there were plenty of cloths to wipe down wet paws) and a dog bed/bowls in case you didn’t travel with your own. The house DOES NOT smell like a ‘pet house’-it’s exceptionally clean and the kitchen is very well stocked with cooking supplies. We made dinner one night and I baked a carrot cake to take to an Easter luncheon! We had an amazing stay! Thank you Lisa!

Great little house in Dogtown

What a great spot! We brought our three kids to STL for a long weekend and had a blast! The house was perfect and had plenty of beds. It was clean and the host even provided a few snacks and a welcome note. Communication with the host was amazing—she was responsive and so helpful, sending a thorough list of recommendations for places to eat and things to do. It was so nice to have toys and books available for our kids to play with when we were at the house. We would absolutely stay here again!
