About this property

Cozy Studio Cottage on "The Hill," walkably close to everything! The Zoo, Park!!

Check-in 2: P M or later. Check-out 11:00 AM. or earlier. The "Hill Cottage" has a fully stocked kitchen, large back deck, with table and chairs for outdoor smoking and dining outdoors. Pets? Yes- $20. fee.
Mediteranium show tub with glass tiles, triple shower heads, one being a large "rainshower". It has skylight windows, a newer pillowtop memory foam queen size mattress, and gleaming white faux marble ceramic floors. Completely private, quiet, restful, the perfectly clean place to relax and explore the delights of the Hill. Extra sheets and towels, blankets, a large walk-in closet to hang your clothes and store your suitcases out of sight. A huge T V. , Wifi, easy key entry, self check-in. Best privacy. Lush with plants, flowers, and greenery. Host available next door if you need help with anything. Plus we have "instant book" and we're moderate
with easy cancellations. There is a laundromat 2 blocks away. If you are pressed for time I could wash and dry and put your clothes on hangers for you.
Park on the street in the front of the brick-front house or nearby.
To enter the cottage, just walk up the short, lighted driveway and through the unlocked chain length small gate. At that point you can see the cottage. We like to briefly welcome new guests, but we also accommodate self check-in . If you choose to check yourself in, the key will be on the doorknob,. There is a lockbox on the gate providing a spare in case you lose your key or lock yourself out. (Code provided after booking, along with ph.#. ) wifi code is posted inside. Pay owner for pet fees- 20. per pet per night. Please bring cash and pay on arrival. Less for longer-term stays. See John, Mary, or Aimee. Welcome to "The Hill"!

Property was as how described, very clean. Communication with host was excellent. Be aware that there are a couple of very popular local restaurants nearby and parking can be challenging at peak times. Not a negative just something to be aware of because having those local restaurants nearby is definitely a plus! You should definitely check them out.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Stuart

Host profile image
I'm from Esther, (now called Park Hills), Missouri. I’m a happy person. God blessed me with a fine husband and 7 children! They are all grown and have families now. My grandchildren are a great joy to me, (11) and 6 great grandchildren. I enjoy hosting, baking, writing poetry, growing flowers and plants, swimming and mushroom hunting in the woods. I love accommodating people, knowing they are having fun and /or getting important things accomplished, Some are moving to another state or visiting their family back here. And sharing my cottage has helped me retire without financial distress. Thank you all for helping me to help others who need and deserve it. Very satisfying. Every day I thank God for my guests, and pray that they be blessed also.

Why they chose this property

“freight trains that passed in the night”, I will never forget them.

What makes this property unique

to meet! Teachers, nurses, a professor, a cross-country biker, entrepreneurs of all descriptions! These people have enriched my life in ways they can't imagine, even though we were like freight trains that passed in the night, I will never forget them.
