About this property

The upstairs studio cottage evokes a relaxed country cottage theme. The studio has two dormers that add to its charm. The electric fireplace was designed and built by the woodworker. Many tables included in the studio are custom made by the woodworker himself.
The Retreat is equipped with a microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and a Frigidaire mini cooler.
Our home is across the driveway, so we are nearby if you need assistance.
The Retreat is minutes from some of the best restaurants, boutiques, museums, antiques, hiking trails, and wineries. Trolley pickup to the wineries is available downtown (reservations required). Ste Genevieve has many sleepy country roads just waiting for cyclist. Our quant French Colonial town has a rich history for visitors longing to step back in time.

Loved this VRBO

The hospitality of the host was amazing! She had music playing, cookies, and an immaculately clean and thoughtfully decorated place waiting for us. She sent us home with a basket of fresh fruit. The place was perfect for us for a weekend gettaway and we loved our stay. Highly recommended!!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Lee Donovan

I am the woodworker's wife. My husband and I enjoy traveling and staying at VRBO property. We decided to transform the upstairs in 2020, so that guests can come enjoy our quant French Colonial town, nearby parks with great hiking trails, and lovely wineries that line the countryside.

Why they chose this property

The Retreat will enhance your experience! It's located in a beautiful neighborhood with mature trees and just one mile from restaurants. It's great for couples wanting to spend a romantic weekend together. Ste Genevieve is known for the unique wineries that line the countryside. The French colonial town is rich in history. We are 60 miles south of St Louis and 58 miles north of Cape Girardeau.
