The home was beautifully updated and very comfortable. The location was fabulous and within an easy walk to so many restaurants and markets--and an amazing bakery. Lisa was very accommodating and prompt to answer our questions. She has really thought of everything you could want or need, including treats for pets. Our stay was a great reminder of the hospitality of St. Louis, my home town.

Great place in The Hill

We have been coming to St. Louis quite regularly while our son attended college at Webster University. Found this gem a little late, but loved the location and the home. We will definitely stay again. Walking distance to so many quaint Italian restaurants and a bakery. Quick drive to local attractions too.

Happy on the Hill

This Property was outstanding, clean, comfortable, great lighting, kitchen utensils and a fantastic welcome basket for us and our dogs. This is one of the best VRBO's that we have stayed in that also considers all that you need for your dogs. The location was awesome, walking distance to everything you would need or want to sample & enjoy the "Hill" in St. Louis. Can't wait to stay again.

Beautiful house that looks exactly like the photos. Lisa has thought of EVERYTHING that can make a vacation perfect. The neighborhood is in an area where you can walk to lunch or dinner. Also, everyone walks in this part of town which makes it feel super safe. We highly recommend this rental if you're going to St. Louis. It was about 5 miles from any attraction that we visited.

Spring Break Getaway

Went to St Louis for a quick family trip away for Spring Break. The location of this property was really nice for a young family as lots is within walking distance (coffee shop, gelato, family dining, and parks). The property was very clean and well taken care of and Lisa quickly responds to communications. I would gladly stay here again!
