This is a wonderful house for a group. It’s very spacious, well set up, and made traveling with multiple people easy and enjoyable. Everyone had plenty of room, and the common areas were perfect for gathering. We’d happily stay here again.

We’re so glad the house worked perfectly for your group. We’d love to host you again.
This place was absolutely amazing. My 3rd born child would not leave game room upstairs. LOL. It was a home away from home. The house is beautiful and spacious. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay here again when we come to town. Thank you Lady Emma.
We're incredibly appreciative of your fantastic review! Hearing that you had a fantastic stay fills us with joy. We'd be thrilled to welcome you back anytime you choose to book with us again. Your kind words and happiness are the greatest compliments we could ask for. Thanks again! 😊
House was amazing and clean and just wonderful. Nicely stocked. I only put 4 stars in one area because it took several days to get the futon that the house was supposed to have and several days to take care of a non-op AC. BUT besides that, I’d most happily stay there again. And there’s a great icecream place at the end of the alley.
We had an amazing stay at the Lady Emma in St. Louis! Literally every detail was thought of by the homeowners. From little things like labeling drawers, and making sure that there are “odds and ends” (ex: we needed a pair of scissors and were happy to find one), to being super responsive when anything came up. The space is huge and our kiddos had so much fun in the third level making it their “hangout”. One of the best places I have stayed and I highly recommend it!

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Lady Emma! 😊 It makes us happy to hear the little touches were helpful and that the kids loved having their own hangout space upstairs. Thank you for the kind words and recommendation, we’d love to welcome you back!
Had a wonderful stay for a quick, little family getaway. The home was beautiful and my boys ( 6 and 2) loved the game room and all of the extra fun toys. The home is located in quiet, safe area that is located close to all of the fun spots around town! Would definitely stay here again!

This home is beautiful. Very clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Great parking space for 2 cars in the back. Our family had a lot of fun in the game room. The kitchen was well equipped for making meals. The host was very quick to respond and great to work with. The location was great for all of our St Louis attractions. We would highly recommend.
What a great place to stay! The game room in the attic is just what our family needed!

Wow, thanks for the amazing review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay - comfy beds, fresh linens, and easy access are exactly what we strive for. We're thrilled to hear the kids loved the duckpin bowling alley, it's definitely a fun family activity! So happy the location worked well for you too, with convenient parking and access to both the freeway and downtown. And of course, a safe neighborhood is a top priority for us. We hope to see you all again soon!
The property was very clean and close to everything we wanted to do (zoo, aquarium, union station)! We had two children with us under the age of 8 and there were so many things for them to do -toys, games, bowling, pool table. The hosts thought of everything! Highly recommend as we will stay there again when we are in town.
