We had an excellent experience with the property, the hosts and the charming town of Ste. Genevieve. Communication with the host was prompt and clear, from the check-in process through the (very easy!) departure. The property was clean and excellently appointed, and I will say most of the rooms are actually a bit larger than they appear on the listing, which was a nice surprise. And as most of the other reviews indicate, it truly is in the heart of town, with everything--coffee, food, drinks, museums & shopping all a short walk away. To us, however, the best part was how responsive our hosts--Jayne and Dustin--were throughout our stay. We had an issue with the AC the first night, made them aware the next morning, and by the time we got back from lunch, the AC guy (along with Dustin) was there getting everything back in ship-shape for a cool and comfortable stay! Check-out was a breeze: leave the garbage in the kitchen trash, start the dishwasher and lock the door. That's it! No schlepping garbage to the local dump, no unmaking the bed or washing of linens. A small thing, but truly appreciated. We'd highly recommend considering this lovely little home for anyone visiting Ste. Genevieve and the surrounding area.

This was a great little spot to stay!!! It has a lot of old world charm that is quite lovely. It is also in a great spot as you can walk to so many shops and restaurants from here. The owner was very responsive to all of my questions. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Perfect weekend getaway! I love staying in older homes and this one did not disappoint. Communication from the host was excellent. The location could not be more perfect for shopping, restaurants, and museums. We parked our car on Friday and didn't use it again until we left on Sunday. The home had everything we needed and was really comfortable. Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect!!! The things that need to be updated are updated, and the things that don't, aren't! It was a lovely, historic place to stay. In our opinion, way better than a hotel. It was a chilly weekend and we were perfectly warm, check in was easy, and check out was even easier. Great location to everything in town. We have recommended this place to all our family and will stay again.

Location, location, location! We had a wonderful stay at this charming historic home in the heart of the historic neighborhood in Ste. Genevieve. The house is beautifully decorated and well appointed—our host truly thought of everything. The bed was very comfortable, the home was spotless, and the back porch quickly became one of our favorite spots to relax.The neighborhood is friendly and welcoming, and the host was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall, our stay was enjoyable from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend this place and would happily stay here again!

Absolutely loved this property. You are steps away literally from History. Lewis & Clark stayed here and now we did too. For an old building it was cooler than my home and had every single amenity you need, even a gas stove (rare in this part of Missouri). The host even let us check in early on an uncommonly hot and miserable day. Great proximity to everything in downtown Ste. Gen. We will be back again for sure! The kids loved it too!
