About this property

Studio, sleeps 4, patio, short drive to Ski Resort, Six Flags & concert venues

You’ll enjoy our patio and lush green yard after perhaps a hike at one of our local parks. If you’re in our area for a concert or a production, you won’t have a long drive. Same is true if you’re planning a ski trip to Hidden Valley. We're a short drive to Six Flags Theme Park. Or you may be in town to visit Grants Farm, the Zoo or the Arch. The kitchenette area includes a frig, microwave/convection oven, toaster oven, coffee maker, induction burner & select cookware for that specific burner. There is also a crock pot & electric skillet.
This studio is the lower level of a home in a super safe neighborhood. It includes a large laundry room, too. Another short-term rental is on the main floor, of this same home. The areas are separated by locking doors (on both sides). The yard has lots of shade & is quite peaceful. We hope you enjoy your stay. Reach out, anytime, with any questions. We live ten minutes away. Happy traveling!

I had a great stay! It was clean and comfortable. The only issue I experienced was with a brand new lock that was installed just before I arrived, but Debbie came and took care of it the next day. I would recommend if you’re planning to stay here to bring a power strip if you’ve got much to plug in as there’s not too many outlets.

Good idea, Andrew. I’ll have to put one in. This is an older home and they didn’t put outlets every 8’ , like they do now.

Great location for visiting St. Louis - close to attractions but not in the middle is the traffic. Very clean unit, plenty of room for everyone. While we didn’t cook, everything needed was available had we decided to. No issues with upstairs guests, Debbie communicated throughout the booking and visit to take care of any questions we had. Thanks so much, fun weekend for our Grandson!! I’m sure we will be back!

Nice place

Cute place, well-equipped for a week-long stay. We were able to cook meals, took advantage of the fire pit, and the back yard was great for the dog! Only minor issue is the sound from the upstairs tenants is slightly louder than regular shared space/apartment noise.

Nice Place with a Few Minor Issues

The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with all the essentials we needed for our stay. The host was pleasant and easy to communicate with, making check-in and any questions throughout the stay smooth and stress-free. The only downside was being in the basement I could hear every step or movement from the guests upstairs which made it difficult to get a good nights sleep.

Great spot for a family

Really convenient spot for my family, who stayed at this property for a week. Owner was very responsive to everything and made our experience very pleasant. Very pet friendly. Everything was great...only (minor) downside was that the WiFi reception was very spotty. Combined with poor cell reception in the general area, I had to go outside at times to get data. Would definitely stay here again next time we're in town.

Nice little cozy apartment.

We did enjoy our stay. Apartment was clean. It was a cute place to stay and definitely worth the price. The issues I had were not major but I do feel they need to be mentioned just so the owner can be aware.The only issues were the bathroom sink doesn't drain quickly, and it was a little chilly but the heaters did their job..

Dirty creepy basement

It was not clean for our arrival. No sheets on main bed just a balled up comforter. There was an odor as soon as you step in. Shower had other people’s hair & a used bar of soap. The 2 “bedrooms” were creepy like closets. The cellular service was spotty which made us feel unsafe in a scary looking place. We left after seeing the place & booked a hotel instead of staying.

THANK YOU!

It was a great place! The backyard was very cute and my boys enjoyed running around and playing while we were there. We were so close to using the firepit, but alas, we did not have time. It was awesome of Debbie to get that set up for us before we arrived! Overall, it was a cute little vibe for the space. The upstairs neighbor was relatively quiet, so that was a plus as well! The only thing that went weong was the fault of Google Maps bronging me to the wrong location, but it was literally just the house next door.

Easy check-in and -out

My brother in law and I stayed here 3 nights for a managed deer hunt at Babler state park. We were gone all day and really only slept in the residence. It suited our needs just fine and was much cheaper than a hotel. No one was upstairs during our stay, so we had no noise above us. The internet was out at first but was fixed very promptly and worked well the remainder of our stay. The neighborhood was very quiet and close to several restaurants and shopping areas. Having a washing machine and dryer was nice to wash hunting clothes. Overall our stay was good.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sure the w/d came in handy since you were in town for the annual managed deer hunt. I hope it was successful. We have way too many deer in our area. The recent estimation is 73 deer per square mile (in Wildwood). Thanks for choosing our place. Come stay again.

False advertisement, fees NOT included, smells like smoke

1. When viewing it said fees were included in the price. They definitely are NOT included. This was the response “ The service fee is a VRBO fee. Of course there’s a cleaning fee. We have to pay our cleaning people.” This should not be advertised. 2. They indeed did not use cleaning people as there was a bar of soap, a rag in the shower caddy, and loofah left in the shower. In the back bedroom there were small beads/pearls along with safety pins on the ground/in the trash bag. 3. As soon as we walked in it smelt like smoke.4. When we were unpacking almost 2 hours after check-in, a man came to stop by and say he was fixing the toilet seat since there was a crack in it and was leaving extra paper towels and toilet paper (this should have been done prior to us arriving.)5. The pictures do NOT describe the rooms at all! There are 3 different beds: 1 in the living area, one in a smaller room like a closet, and the third was in the back on concrete floor with a lock on the OUTSIDE of the door. Absolutely no reason to have a lock there!!6. There were closet doors that had nails bent over them to not access that had a green light flashing.7. The keypad/lock that we were supposed to use only worked the first time and the part to lock the deadbolt would not lock as we left each time and had to use a key for just the smaller door handle lock. 8. There was no parking on the driveway as the upstairs unit parked there and we had to park on the street.

Miranda, I’m very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at our place. If you were having this many concerns, you should have reached out to me during your three day stay. My maintenance guy was not available until the morning of your arrival and he was delayed so he showed up shortly after you checked in. I would assume you would have preferred sitting on a new toilet seat rather than one that had just recently been broken by my past guest. The nails that you referred to that are bent over a door with a green light flashing behind are to secure the door to the hot water heater and furnace area. My guest do not need access to that area. Rather than putting a lock on it that my HVAC guys cannot access, I have the nails bent over the top of the door. The green light you saw flashing is on the bottom of the water heater. I’m assuming you had to get down on your knees to look up the louver door to see that green light. As far as parking on the street goes, that is mentioned in the listing. I have a medical traveler, staying on the main floor for up to six months or more. Therefore, they do have the use of the carport rather than my lower level guests , who only stay a few days. Most of my guests appreciate the multiple sleeping areas that I have available. The small twin bed in the large walk-in closet area has been appreciated by many families with teenage children who have used that bed. While I will admit it is unusual to have a bed in a large walk-in closet, the room is 6 feet wide by 20 feet deep so there’s plenty of room in there to use that space for one additional bed for my guests. You would’ve paid much more than what you paid us to stay in a hotel room with much less space. If you stay at another VRBO and are having multiple concerns, I would reach out to the host and communicate with them to see what could be remedied to make your stay more enjoyable. Good luck in your future VRBO experiences.

An Unexpected VRBO Experience

The neighborhood was as expected, but the unit was dirty and poorly maintained. The toothbrush holder in the bath had toothpaste all over it, the mat in the shower appeared old or mildewy (bring shower shoes), there were even leftover razors in the shower! The countertop next to the fridge had dried milk on it, the microwave has food spatters in it, & the doors to the microwave & fridge were covered in fingerprints and smears. There were thick cobwebs on the wall and pics near the front door & I don't think the floor had been cleaned in ages The listing falsely claimed a short-term rental was on the main floor, but it's the owner's daughters residence with young children and pets. This complete lack of disclosure ruined my stay as I was woken up multiple times at night and the noise made working during the day impossible. When I emailed the owner thru VRBO (no other contact option is provided) I was gaslit and told verbatim "The listing does mention it is like “an apartment” with guests above you." The listing at the time of this posting does not say that, it didn't mention full time residents with kids, and even if it did I would still expect quiet, especially at night. The owner also accessed the unit without notice, which is completely unacceptable. Thankfully I was gone by that time, as I ended up leaving a couple of days early. Just beware should you decide to rent this place. Overall this was quite literally the worst VRBO experience I have ever had.

We allowed you an early check-in, at no extra charge. We asked you mention that in your review. You replied "oh, I will review my stay". We've NEVER received a one-star review. I'm sorry to hear you were so terribly disappointed. You could have left immediately and received a refund, if our place was that bad. Most of my reviews are very top notch. I am a VRBO Premiere host. The listing does state that you can hear the "guests" on the main floor (as you would in an apartment setting). I hope your future stays are better. I will make every effort to address the issues you mentioned in your review. God Bless.
