We enjoyed the space available inside for my family of 5. Older home but clean, outside space overgrown and not usable but the location was great for going to Six Flags and the Arch. Was close to many attractions.

Great stay!

Very cool house with unique designs! The road right before the house was a little washed out so our small car was a little tricky but a truck or SUV would be fine!

Hidden cabin

A little hidden back off the trail but the place was very spacious and had everything we needed. Only down to the weekend was that the yard area was not cut so we didn't feel comfortable doing a fire or adventure through the area. All and all we truly enjoyed this quirky little place

Cool cabin

This quirky cabin is so unique and interesting that it’s almost a destination in itself. It’s located in a beautiful area with nearby trails that offer wonderful views. The interior of the cabin is comfortable with much more room to gather than you realize from the listing.

Nice cabin retreat

We had a fun family vacation here. The cabin was fun and in a great location (30 mins to downtown St. Louis and 5 minutes from a state park with fun hiking.)

Needs Attention

This place was hard to find. Upon arrival we notice the grass was so tall that the picnic table area was unusable. Inside was spot cleaned but could use a deep cleaning. Vents and fans were covered in dust, cobwebs in corners, tv didn't work. There is or has been recently a leak in the roof.

Thanksgiving 2024

We really enjoyed our stay. This is a unique place to stay for sure, but the house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with what you need. Two negatives: there is a picture of a white neighboring house associated with the listing when you look at location, and the gravel part of the road could really use some repair. If we did not have a truck to navigate the snow we got while we were there, it could have been a real problem. We would stay here again.

Whimsy and Wonder

This property was so whimsical and fun that we would totally stay again. We came for a soccer tournament. My 4 kids loved exploring all the nooks and hidden corners! There was a kind sized bed that my husband, myself, and our 4 year old slept in, two twin beds in the top room, and two full sized pull out couches. Every room is on a different level. The moose head added a wonky charm! We loved the fireplace! This by far has been one of the most fun and charming places that we've stayed!! We will book again next year for this tournament!!

Loads of character!

This cabin like home has so much charm. It was almost whimsical. It was sort of tricky to find but worth it. Hidden away from the buzz of the city and still close. Loads of steps throughout so might not be good for someone who can’t do steps. Fun for our family.

House from an old mystery novel

There were 2 negatives, but the structure of the house made you forget them. Outside could be trimmed up better, seemed a little overgrown and the bedroom you 1st walk into had a little musty smell. The bed was super comfy and there are lots of nook and crannies to explore. I would sray again for sure. the homethe home.

We were in town dealing with family issues, the properties proximity to nature & to town was aweso…

The only thing I would say is this property is not handicap accessible, so if you have issues with stairs this is not the place for you… Otherwise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ across the board… Would definitely recommend and stay again…

Cardinal rain-out/property saved the day

We were obviously bummed that the Cardinal bs Yankee game we traveled to see was postponed, but thanks to this fantastic property our group still had a great time and a relaxing evening! We had a couple groups who stayed in hotels downtown that left the stadium and went to bed to complete their wasted experience, while we came back to the Vrbo, and just spent time hanging out in the different and awesome gathering areas in the super unique layout - drinks under the moose, a fire (not really because we didn’t start one, but the dormant hearth was good enough for June) and some tobacco pipes on the deck under the stars. Topped off with a great comfortable nights sleep for the whole crew. Would love to come back again and highly recommend the property and manager!
