Perfect Location and Apartments

My family rented all 4 apartments on this property for our family and the bridal party for my daughter's wedding. The property was absolutely perfect and less than a mile from the venue.

Great location for The Katy Trail!

Great location for the Katy Trail and wineries nearby. The beds were super comfortable and had great sheets and pillows. The kitchen was stocked with everything that you would need. We could sit on the front porch and hear live music from across the street.

Perfect rental

We rented all four of these units. This unit is the second of the main floor units. My mother in law stayed in this unit and it was perfect. The unit was quiet and beautifully maintained. I cannot say enough about the beds and bedding. These may be the most comfortable beds any of us have ever slept in!!

Everything was clean, cute home. host was responsive. The following things are not necessarily bad but just wished it had extras: no coffee, no extra towels but there is laundry facilities in the home, no extra blankets, when arrived temperature of the home was 59 and unable to control had to contact host, no shampoo conditioner body soap-these are basic things provided in a hotel-

Great Katy Trail home

We love this property and will definitely return to it. It is one block off of Katy Trail and easy walking distance to several restaurants and wineries. Everything worked well and was in perfect condition!

Perfect Spot

A friend and I met up for the weekend. This rental is really impeccable. Extremely clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed for an amazing weekend! The area was beautiful and the wines were very good. Every person we encountered was so friendly. Defiance is a great central spot to stay in the area. Right in the Katy trail with food and wineries very close by.

Great place tucked away in a beautiful area

We enjoyed our 3 nights in this area! It was a wonderful property, very cute & cozy. We had 3 generations staying here and we played a lot of games at the large kitchen table. The pull-out couch mattress was very worn-down, but outside of that everything else was in great condition. There is a coffee pot, but no coffee, so bring your own grounds if that is a must for the AM, as there is no coffee shop nearby. The property was well-stocked with plates/towels/blankets/etc and check-in and check-out instructions were very clear.

bike trip

the property was smaller than expected and the lay out was not conducive to socializing. think shotgun house, living room in the front, kitchen in the back and 2 bedrooms in the middle.

Perfect little place for a girls getaway!

I had a good experience that would have been excellent had I realized the communication would be through Evolve instead of VRBO. It all worked out and was more my fault than theirs. Once I knew who to contact, all was well. The rental was super clean and cute. The big thing missing was coffee, and with no local restaurant serving breakfast, that was a bummer and caused a delay getting on the bike trail because we had to drive into Chesterfield to have breakfast (and coffee). I would definitely stay again. The Good News Brewery was a gem!

Girls Weekend Getaway

What a cute property, very unique, accurately described, had everything we needed for a fun girls get away. Nice beds, all kitchen items, coffee pot, rocking chairs on the porch for morning coffee. We arrived in the dark and had a little issue finding the entry for the Farmhouse (there are 3 VRBO's in this property), outside lighting was not on - but after walking around the property we located the entry at the back. The General Store & Farmhouse share an indoor entry and the Townhouse has a separate entrance that goes upstairs. We parked in the back, using the alley for entrance. Definitely recommend Daniel Boone's home, a historical gem. We caught the trolley at Klondike Park Boat Dock and visited 4 wineries, came back to Defiance for dinner at the Roadhouse. Great burgers with music on the patio. We wanted to visit Good News Brewery but they were closed for a private event. Like a lot of small towns, everything closes early. Take the groceries you need, there is not a grocery store or convenience store in Defiance. Highly recommend this property and would stay here again!
