Hidden cabin

A little hidden back off the trail but the place was very spacious and had everything we needed. Only down to the weekend was that the yard area was not cut so we didn't feel comfortable doing a fire or adventure through the area. All and all we truly enjoyed this quirky little place

Narnia home

This house itself was very quirky in a good way. We felt like we were in Narnia where each door could lead to a new world and adventure.

Needs Attention

This place was hard to find. Upon arrival we notice the grass was so tall that the picnic table area was unusable. Inside was spot cleaned but could use a deep cleaning. Vents and fans were covered in dust, cobwebs in corners, tv didn't work. There is or has been recently a leak in the roof.

Whimsy and Wonder

This property was so whimsical and fun that we would totally stay again. We came for a soccer tournament. My 4 kids loved exploring all the nooks and hidden corners! There was a kind sized bed that my husband, myself, and our 4 year old slept in, two twin beds in the top room, and two full sized pull out couches. Every room is on a different level. The moose head added a wonky charm! We loved the fireplace! This by far has been one of the most fun and charming places that we've stayed!! We will book again next year for this tournament!!

Nice cabin retreat

We had a fun family vacation here. The cabin was fun and in a great location (30 mins to downtown St. Louis and 5 minutes from a state park with fun hiking.)

Thanksgiving 2024

We really enjoyed our stay. This is a unique place to stay for sure, but the house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with what you need. Two negatives: there is a picture of a white neighboring house associated with the listing when you look at location, and the gravel part of the road could really use some repair. If we did not have a truck to navigate the snow we got while we were there, it could have been a real problem. We would stay here again.

Nice place, lots of rooms! Loved the location. Only suggestion is more curtains to help with a bit of privacy when changing clothes. 😊 Loved the moose!!!

House from an old mystery novel

There were 2 negatives, but the structure of the house made you forget them. Outside could be trimmed up better, seemed a little overgrown and the bedroom you 1st walk into had a little musty smell. The bed was super comfy and there are lots of nook and crannies to explore. I would sray again for sure. the homethe home.

The cabin was amazing. Wasn’t quite prepared for all the stairs it made it very unique. Loved all the characters that the house has. We will most likely be back.

We were in town dealing with family issues, the properties proximity to nature & to town was aweso…

The only thing I would say is this property is not handicap accessible, so if you have issues with stairs this is not the place for you… Otherwise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ across the board… Would definitely recommend and stay again…

Not a cabin

It’s not a cabin. Lots of stairs, lots of exterior doors. Had a musty smell that was difficult to get used to. Was ok for the purpose we used it for. 4 guys going to Metallica concert. Probably wouldn’t be great for a family trip.

The Cabin is Quirky but the host is Rude

The cabin is fun but has several quirks that would have been nice to know about before booking. Like the main door into the cabin going through the primary bedroom, all the levels from room to room, or the lack of latching or locking doors into any room. Those things could be lived with but I reached out apologetically when our plans changed and the host was rude.

Cardinal rain-out/property saved the day

We were obviously bummed that the Cardinal bs Yankee game we traveled to see was postponed, but thanks to this fantastic property our group still had a great time and a relaxing evening! We had a couple groups who stayed in hotels downtown that left the stadium and went to bed to complete their wasted experience, while we came back to the Vrbo, and just spent time hanging out in the different and awesome gathering areas in the super unique layout - drinks under the moose, a fire (not really because we didn’t start one, but the dormant hearth was good enough for June) and some tobacco pipes on the deck under the stars. Topped off with a great comfortable nights sleep for the whole crew. Would love to come back again and highly recommend the property and manager!

Avoid this property

The place was filthy when we arrived, we spent time cleaning ourselves just to feel like we could sleep. We could hear mice in the walls at night. We ended up leaving early, we just couldn’t take it. The home was in disrepair. Communication with the owner was poor, he did not give check in information until we reached out the day of scheduled arrival and when we reached out regarding the mess and unkempt conditions he claimed the house was clean and accused us of spamming him when we stated we’d be leaving early. We have submitted a request to VRBO customer support but based on this experience we will never use VRBO again.

Not for everyone, but we loved it

Really fun place. Lots of room to entertain, lovely views and as everyone says, quirky.We are low maintenance, and it’s a low maintenance type of place.If you just want to have a fun place to stay that isn’t just some boring antiseptic housing development, you’ll like it.Very close to Castlewood Park, where I was hoping to get some hikes and running, sadly, it was flooded out, but it’s a great park I’ve run at before. We come to STL a lot and we will return.

Old cabin with Big space

The cabin was much bigger then expected, its kind of quirky but cute, overall the cabin was fine for our family of 8 to stay but it would have been nice had the listing noted 4 of the 8 sleeping area were hideabed couchs with thin foam mattress. There are alot of stairs in this cabin so i would say for anyone older or with physical limitations maybe not a good idea. My MIL is 79 and the stairs were a bit hard on her and shes in pretty good shape for her age. The other thing was alot of the windows do not have coverings on them and did not lock. The host was very responsive the day of ck in and even came by and gave us more towels and sheets as there wasnt enough left out for our stay. He was vety nice. We had a fun family weekend speending time together and thats really what it was all about. Was the cabin perfect, no it wasnt but it was ok for us and we are thankful for our time together.

Cool cabin

This quirky cabin is so unique and interesting that it’s almost a destination in itself. It’s located in a beautiful area with nearby trails that offer wonderful views. The interior of the cabin is comfortable with much more room to gather than you realize from the listing.
