Another wonderful stay with my family! With four young children, it is such a relief to not have to bring our own pack n play, high chair, baby monitors, sound machines, etc. Sara has thought of everything and we feel right at home here! Already looking forward to returning again in the future.

The host goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. Seriously, they will take care of you if you stay here! They even write a guide that is incredibly accurate and helpful of things to do in the neighborhood and St. Louis.Please be aware this is a ground-story unit with an active vrbo rental above you as well. If that doesn't bother you, this place will have all the amenities you need for a great stay. And again, if you don't, the host will make sure you have access to it.Would gladly stay again.

This was our second time staying here (first on the ground level, previously on the second floor). We love it so much. Its perfectly located for all that we needed (Busch, The Dome, zoo, grocery). We have 2 young kids and really appreciate the baby gear, toys and the backyard is so helpful when you've done all tour activities and need to kill some time. The house is clean and neighborhood feels safe. We'll continue to come back!

Quiet little stay in the city
The property was exactly as pictured/described in the listing. The house had a lot of nice touches that made it feel very homey.
After a day on the road we had lots of room to spread out and the kids enjoyed the toys inside and the play equipment outside.
The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe.
Sara was quick to ask if we had any problems and offered a huge list of things to do in the area.

Weekend stay for event in Forest Park
This rental was in the perfect location for access to our event in Forest Park. We had 4 adults & 3 children in our group and had plenty of room. The indoor and outdoor seating created ample room for gathering, eating and visiting. The 1 bathroom wasnt an issue and there was ample hot water for 4 showers in less than an hour. This host was readily accessible for messages and provided all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay (shampoo, body wash, lots of towels, kitchen essentials). The neighborhood was quiet and had ample parking.
We would Definitely consider renting this property again.

Fantastic Family-based property
Wow! We loved staying here. Everything was very clean and accessible. Our kids spent hours playing in the playset in the backyard. We don't have an infant, but the property had everthing we would have needed. The beds were comfortable. The dining table was larger than I thought too, which was a nice surprise. Easy walk to the Botanic Gardens and drivable to Forest Park. Strollers and bikes too. Great experience.

great kid-friendly 3BR
We had a wonderful stay here. This cute home housed me and my wife, our 3 children, and my in-laws for 6 days, and no one went crazy! Sara has done a great job with details for this property. There were several coffee and espresso options, with a supply of ground coffee and espresso. There were plenty of ice trays, and my favorite - giant 2 inch ice molds for cocktails...or kids wanting a giant ice ball. The house comes stocked with a few games, books, and playsets (magnatiles, train set, etc.) to keep everyone occupied. I could do without the chalkboard wall in one of the rooms, but others might enjoy this. The backyard swingset is better than the one at our real home, and there's a playhouse equipped with toys...and a sandbox! Everything was a bit...cozy with the 7 of us, but we made it work
The neighborhood is cute and quiet. There are not a ton of restaurants to walk to, but there are a few and there are endless options within 10 minutes drive.
Finally, Sara was able to accommodate a last minute change to our schedule without any problem.
We would highly recommend this place!

Family fun rendezvous with grandparents
We met halfway between our households to get grandparents and grandkids together for a fun week in St. Louis. The location was conveniently located near lots of attractions - short drive to Forest Park and City Museum, and walking distance to the botanical gardens and Tower Grove Park. I wasn't familiar with areas of St. Louis when booking, but felt very safe in this location. The rental was very well appointed for family and pet stay. My kids loved the play structure in the back yard and the extra books and Magnatiles.
