We stayed in this house for a family reunion - ages 4 to grandparents. The house has 3 separate gathering area, which worked well for people playing different card or board games, having individual conversations or just finding a place for a moment of quiet. We spent Saturday at the Wonder Lab, which was wonderful for kids and adults.
Stayed the weekend of the Little 500. 3rd weekend in April
We loved being close to campus and the large number of comfortable beds. Although the property is dated the gathering areas were perfect for our needs.

Weekend
The home has significant sleeping capacity and located fairly close to campus!
Not many VRBO houses that sleep this many people! It’s not the newest, nicest house on campus but just a few miles off campus and has everything needed for a large group (we had 8 couples). Would definitely stay again.

The home was Adequate four our needs.
The home was clean. Had plenty of towels and was adequate for our needs.
Had issues making final payment through VRBO site, so had to send payment to owner outside the VRBO system. Otherwise, everything was as expected. We used for 12 guys overnight golf trip stay. Great for this purpose or college football weekend.
We've been renting this place once a week for 3 years now, and my group loves it! Jonah's wonderful to work with (very prompt to queries, attentive to our needs, etc.), and the space offers lots of opportunities for groups to connect. I'd recommend things like more silverware, but that's a quibble. Thanks for hosting us!
We had 13 college friends gather here for Homecoming. Although a bit dated, it was clean and a great place for us to hang out as a group. The kitchen was great for prepping tailgate food and there were plenty of beds & baths for all of us. Beds were comfortable, too. It was a quick Uber to Kirkwood and all the fun spots. Owner was responsive and quick to answer questions.
The house was big enough to accommodate our group of 10 adults and 3 children effortlessly and still had more room! Lots of room with plenty of beds and plenty of parking space was plus. We enjoyed being able to have our group all together playing games, cooking food and getting ready together for the wedding. The house was very clean. My master king suite bed was comfortable! I usually plan trips for our group of 20+ people and wouldn't hesitate to bring them back here again if I need to.

Our family extravaganza
The house is extraordinary. The hot tub needed cleaning. One of tge bedrooms was covered in live and dead ants. Need curtains in the living room. The bathrooms need tge toilets fixed, we had to keep fixing tge one by the front door.
This place was perfect for our big group. We had plenty of entertainment, plenty of space to separate boys and girls, and all the essentials needed for cooking.
Was supposed to have a small get together for a friend but got stood up by a lot, so me and my best friend enjoyed this beautiful big house by herself. The house was clean, gorgeous, had learning all of the above.
