Place is exactly as described with an excellent fenced in yard, perfect for the pup! Kitchen is adequate. Incredibly clean and organized. Neighborhood is a little in transition, but we never felt unsafe and walked our dog around. 20 minute walk from Forest park. Adequate parking in driveway and street.

Spring Break in St. Louis

We had a great stay in St. Louis! This location was perfect for us- we walked to the zoo, to get coffee at Sweet Em’s, and to Forest Park a few times, and were just a 10-15 minute drive from anywhere else we wanted to go! So many fun things for young kids to do here! The house was clean and spacious for our family of 5. We had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Clean and spacious

The place was perfect for 3 moms and their kids. There was plenty of space and entertainment in the basement for the kids. The couch upstairs even fit everyone for a movie night. The dining room table was big enough for dinner and games. We loved the dead end street because it was quiet. Parking on the driveway was good, but also with it being a quiet street we could park in front of the house easily.

Great dog-friendly rental, quiet neighborhood, convenient location

I chose this house for my family's spring break trip to St. Louis so that our dog could come along. It was great for him having the fenced yard and we really enjoyed the house and location. Weather wasn't great so we didn't walk anywhere, but the drive to Forest Park and the zoo/Science Museum was quite short, and the drive to the arch and other downtown tourist attractions wasn't much longer. The house is well-appointed and lovely, beds are comfy, plenty of space, nice kitchen, and attentive hosts. We would definitely stay again!

Great space for family & pets

My family gave this their top rating home based on all our visits to St. Louis. We travel frequently to visit our college student and he loves when we can bring the pup along. The house is comfortable and spacious. The big kids loved the game area in the basement. The fenced in yard is a plus. The location is ideal and has a number of great nearby restaurants. Excellent communication throughout the entire stay and we hope to stay again next Fall!

Family Summer Vacation

A short family vacation in St. Louis. Our stay at this property was just perfect. As our days in St. Louis were busy, the property provided us with the perfect place to start our days and after our busy days the perfect place to wind down and relax. The property was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this property. The property owners were also great to work with. They checked in with us during our stay as well.
