Visiting the area

Great place for us to stay as we were visiting the area. We are moving to Rolla and our trip was to check out all the things, this property was a nice peaceful place for us to come back to each evening.

Nice Cottage in St. James

We loved staying at this property. The cottage is the perfect size for two or a couple with a child. The owner was very nice and had everything ready for us when we arrived. The bed was comfy and a seating area in the back yard was perfect to enjoy your first cup of coffee.

Cosy Safe Getaway

I stayed at this VRBO for 2 days. I was a little nervous as I was traveling alone for work. The owner made me feel so comfortable and I felt very safe. The cottage itself was very cosy. The bed was incredibly comfortable and there is a smart TV in the livingroom that you can sign in to your streaming services. If I end up in St. James again I will absolutely be staying here.

Weekend Getaway

We were under the impression the property was just outside of the Maramec State Park. The property was clean with no problems noted except for we noticed there was no smoke detectors in the residence,

Thank you for booking your stay with us at SAVEMO Cottage - I am glad you “enjoyed” your stay with us- however it does not state anywhere in the listing that the Cottage is located in Meremac Springs. It is listed as “near” the Springs with a 15-20 minute drive to the park. Smoke detectors are located in the Cottage beside the recliner in the living room.

Perfect weekend get away

Laura was a great host. S.A.V.E. MO was a comfortable cozy cottage. Laura even added some additional items to the cottage when I inquired about items there. I would definitely recommend this cottage for someone looking for weekend getaway.

Refreshing

Laura was a fantastic host! S.A.V.E, MO is close enough to the wineries and restaurants, yet still far enough for a peaceful, private, serene getaway. Woke up to see the cows grazing next door every morning! The cabin was well stocked with amenities and superbly clean. Definitely on our getaway list for future visits!

Cozy getaway

This cabin is comfortable and has great amenities. It's "out in the country" but still close enough to town for shopping & restaurants if you desire. The owner is friendly and helpful. I had a nice, relaxing week long stay.
