My husband and I had a wonderful trip, the home exceeded our expectations in every way! Joel was a great Superhost. The customer service and information that was pertinent prior to our arrival was extremely helpful. Very quiet and tranquil where the home is located. Easy access to town for restaurants and some shopping. Made a great Birthday weekend getaway. Would definitely go back and highly recommend anyone to book this amazing place.

Bluff View Rental

Met my sister and stayed here for the weekend. I haven't seen her since our parents died 10 years ago. It was great to sit down and comfortably relax and just talk. Picked up some food both nights that were only about 7 minutes away. Great stay. Loved the house. It just worked perfectly for us.

Perfect little house

Joel's home is so beautiful. The location was perfect for our girls weekend to Kimmswik, MO (just 20 minutes away). The house is clean and has everything we needed. Beds were SUPER comfy, bathroom is gorgeous and the kitchen/living space had everything we were looking for. We would definitely stay again!

Great spot!

My wife and I just got away for a weekend and we stayed at Joel’s place. It was cozy and secluded enough and convenient to St. Louis. The house was great and well stocked with anything you might need and Columbia and surrounding towns were all very quaint and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Valentines Getaway

My significant other and I chose to stay here for our Valentines and I'm so very happy we did! It was a beautiful, cozy stay! There were even Valentines decorations! Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Property manager was great and replied quickly to any questions we had. Also gorgeous sunset view from the front bedroom window! Highly recommend!

Outstanding Place to Stay!

This adorable little home was beyond perfect for our stay in Columbia. It was spotless on arrival and had a better stocked kitchen/bathroom than most vacation rentals. The beds were so comfortable, AC worked like a charm and the green views went on forever. Our host was incredibly attentive, immediately answering any messages we sent his way. He even brought over a portable crib when he learned the reason for our visit was for the birth of my granddaughter via surrogate. While my daughter and her husband were at the hosptial in Maryville, a wicked midwest storm hit. Scared this California gal to pieces. Joel checked in with the reassurances needed that is was just a normal occurrence. We heard frogs from the creek at night, saw deer in the backyard and enjoyed lightening bugs every night. (No, California does not have lightening bugs!) Location makes you feel you are away from it all, but yet we were a short drive from everything. Highly recommend this vacation rental for anyone looking for lodging in the Colombia area!
