Everything about our stay was perfect. The host was very responsive, the house was spotless, and it was the best stocked VRBO that we have ever stayed in. We will definitely stay here again when we return to St Louis!
We were so impressed with Dave and his home. He keeps it clean, and there were so many amenities. Everything you could ever need is stocked in the home. The beds are super comfortable, Dave is very responsive, and we felt safe and very well taken care of. If I had any recommendations for staying here it would be to bring some earplugs IF you are sensitive to noises at night. By no means did this affect our experience, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. 5 Stars!
We loved everything about the house. It’s well stocked with everything you could need- more than any other property we have rented. It’s even nicer in person than in the listing pictures. Location is great with plenty of parking. The host was very accommodating and great with communication. You won’t be disappointed!
We really enjoyed the property and the location and would stay again!

I'm glad you enjoyed staying at the house and found it a good location close to all the major attractions in St. Louis. I'm looking forward to having you stay at the house again.
This house was perfect! The house was exactly as advertised. Perfectly equipped. Grocery stores and Imo's pizza within a few minutes drive. Dave the manager was very responsive via the VRBO messaging. I definately recommend the house.
David was amazing to work with. He has very strong communication skills and wanted to make sure our needs were met while we stayed at his beautiful home! We were able to have a work meeting in a laid back and comfortable environment. I would highly recommend this property and host!
Lovely home- convenient location- safe- well equipped for children- attentive, kind , conscientious host. Easily slept five non related adults comfortably with privacy for all. We loved sitting on the porches in the evenings.
This house is perfect for a family getaway in St Louis! The house is fully stocked with supplies! The park is across the street and restaurants in walking distance! Highly recommended for a visit!
Ideally situated; appliances and kitchen well maintained; comfortable eating, gathering, and sleeping areas. Ample number of bathrooms. A home away from home(s) for a gathering of friends.
The property was an excellent choice for our family weekend. Plenty of room, (we had 9 people) very comfortable, and convenient for our site seeing. Dave was very easy to work with and was very flexible in our travel schedule needs. The kitchen was stocked nicely, making all our cooking easy to prepare. I would recommend this property to anyone that has a larger group staying in the area.
Met family from Texas and Illinois here for Cardinals game and fun time with grandkids. House is great for large families or friends. Listing was accurate and owner communication was great.
This house is so beautiful and in a nice, quiet, safe neighborhood. Perfect for large families and kids. The house came fully stocked and well equipped for little kids (crib, pack and play, high chairs, strollers, sippy cups). The owner is very friendly and communicated well, making sure we enjoyed our stay. One of my favorite features of the home was the large dining table: perfect for families to gather around. I would definitely recommend this home for your stay in St. Louis as it has everything you need and is conveniently located.
Property is just as listed, very spacious, nicely decorated. So many thoughtful touches throughout the house, we didn't have a need for it, but i thought it was great that there was a stroller at the property in case you forget to bring one. Also, we loved the humongous park right across the street.
Dave's property was the ideal location for our 4-night stay for a family wedding. Everyone in our group, which included three generations, rated it a solid 10 stars! The property was exceptionally clean and very well stocked in addition to being comfortable and spacious. We appreciated all of the thoughtful details to make our stay enjoyable. The location was perfect with the park right across the street and in a central location to restaurants and activities. Dave's communication was outstanding through the entire process. We highly recommend this property - you won't be disappointed!
Multiple generations enjoyed this property to celebrate a SLU graduate. Perfect home for family meals, backyard relaxing and ideal proximity to the university campus. Owner was attentive and even blew the cottonwood out of the yard ridge before our arrival to make it more enjoyable!
The house is beautiful. The home provides everything you need for your stay. It’s very spacious and well kept. The owner provided all the information you need for your stay up front. He responded to messages quickly.
This place was great to house four remote co-workers for a mid-year planning retreat. Its combinations of eating, gathering, and sleeping spaces plus access to restaurants, parks, and other St. Louis offerings make it a great place to stay for all types of groups and occasions.

About the host
Hosted by Dave Carson
Hi, my name is Dave and the owner of this house. My wife Pam and I live in Manchester, MO which is a suberb of St Louis and is 18 miles miles from this house. My wife and I both had computer science degrees. I graduated from Univerisity of Missouri at Rolla, which is now called Missouri University of Science and Technology. Pam graduated from Iowa State Univestify.
We are blessed with a son and daughter, who have made us very proud of their careers and for the 4 grandchildren and counting (2 boys and 2 gilrls).
Even though we are retired, we both keep a very busy life style including hosting this house.
Why they chose this property
After retirement, I decided to rehab houses since I have always been a do-it-yourselfer including rehabbing my son and daughter's as-is houses. It's a far cry from designing computer software, but much less stressful and very rewarding,
My beautiful 5BR/4.5BA craftsman style home has been renovated from top to bottom by myself and St. Louis’ most talented craftsmen using only the finest materials and finishes. My goal was to restore the house to replicate the style of the house when it was built in 1910 but make the home more comfortable by adding modern conveniences.
What makes this property unique
What caught my eye when I looked to buy the house was the historic neighborhood and that it was directly across the street from the internationally acclaimed Tower Grove Park. The house is within 5 miles of the major attractions in St Louis, which convinced me this would be the perfect location for visitors coming to St Louis.
I am happy for the opportunity to make my house your home away from home.
