The Best Host I Ever Had on VRBO

This was truly a 5 star stay for me and my family. I loved the newly remodeled house and all of the new appliances. The house was very clean.c neat and organized. It felt like home. Jerrod the host, really made our stay as comfortable as it could be. Such a kind and friendly man. He even offered me some home cooked dinner from his smoker! The home was very secure and safe. Even had a fenced in driveway to park your car. It was about a 5 minute walk to the Lake and Park. It had a golf course and great fishing. I enjoyed the nice walking trail they had that was measured off. Would I stay again? Without a doubt! Jerrod has a few homes for rent in this area that were all newly remolded. Thank you so much!!!

This house was everything we wanted it to be. It was within 15 minutes of everything we wanted to see in St. Louis. My wife, children (10 and 5), and I used it as the perfect landing site after days of site seeing.The house was very clean and inviting. The 2 beds were very comfortable. My wife prefers a very soft bed while I prefer something more firm. The house had one of each so we split the kids between us and everyone slept like a baby. Jerrod was very helpful and the whole process was easy.If I have one complaint, it would be the loud vehicles driving up and down the street at all hours of the night. That, however, is nothing that the host can control. Jerrod was an incredibly nice gentleman and easy to work with. Overall, we had a great vacation and being able to rent a nice quiet house like this for the same price or less than staying in one small hotel room was a huge plus.

My family and I stayed here for a week while waiting for our house to be move in ready and we really enjoyed this cute little home! Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, linens smelled great, and had a fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need. Very quiet neighborhood with no issues and we felt safe with the cameras and motion alerts for outside the home. To top it all off the host is very nice and responds quickly. Would definitely recommend!

Not family friendly neighborhood

The house is very nice and clean and the owner is very nice and easy to get in touch with. The neighborhood is not in a good part of town. If it’s just a few adults it would be okay but I would not recommend staying here with children.
