Nice place to stay
The home was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Communication was very fast. We went to Six Flags St Louis but did not want to stay in St Louis. We’ve rented homes for years through VRBO and this one was the best so far!

Short drive from St. Louis and very peaceful and serene. Close to many winery's that we did not get to attend this trip. 100% will be back

Cute hideaway
This place was so nice! Huge kitchen, large living room and bedrooms. Amazing views and some friendly ducks. Close to a grocery store. Hilliest rollercoaster roads around but fun. We loved it.

Wedding Stay
I booked this rental because I was getting married at Daniel Boone Home in Defiance and all the local B&Bs were so expensive. One of my bridesmaids found this house and we immediately fell in love! I made the owners aware the ladies would be staying with me the night before the wedding but we’d be respectful of the property and I asked if this was okay and they were very understanding and were happy to have us. When we arrived the house was absolutely beautiful and had plenty of space for all of us. The ducks on the property were so cute and you could see them walk around the backyard! Everything about this place was amazing and we all had an amazing time. If we ever come back to the area maybe for our anniversary, we will be booking here again. Thank you so much!!

We enjoyed staying in the house. It was very clean. Only two small issues: the ceiling lights in the living room may need to be replaced as the flickered when on. I already left word about the hall toilet not being able to be turned off.

Work Stay
Had a last min work trip come up. This house was very clean. Shower had great water pressure. They even had coffee and snacks available. This was a 8 min drive to lots of restaurants and stores walmart ext. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be staying here again in the future if I am in the area.
