Peaceful Stay

I appreciated being greeted by the hosts each day. I appreciate the accommodations that were made for my pet and I. Hygiene and cleaning supplies were available if I needed them. I had plenty of privacy. The neighborhood was quiet and very easy to navigate. Parking was my only complaint, but that had nothing to do with the hosts. It’s just something to be mindful of if you plan on staying in the area. I didn’t realize how popular the area was.

Great location!

This small cottage is a short drive to Forest Park and walking distance to many Italian restaurants, delis, and bakeries. It is stocked well and clean. The only issue was that we could not get the Wi-Fi on our phones. The owner could not assist and took a long time to respond. Overall, a great location for all activities at Forest Park and great food.

Perfect size and location

I rented this cottage as it was so close to St Ambrose Catholic Church for my daughter’s wedding. I dropped off the wedding flowers there, and asked the owners to set the thermostat perfectly for them to stay fresh for the following days event. They honored my wishes and were extremely kind. The newlyweds stayed there the night of their wedding and it was the perfect size and location of the venue LaVerona.

Cute little spot.

Smaller than pictures led me to believe. Was listed with hot tub and fire pit. Neither of those was found on site. No i didn’t speak with the host about it. Had other stuff to do. Location is great Parking is a 5/10 we were gone most of the time so it wasn't a issue for us but could be for someone whos in and out a lot. The expired and opened condiments in the fridge was a surprise. As well as jelly jars filled with OJ and Milk. I know this was done as a courtesy but pretty sure its also illegal to have opened containers

Updated cottage

It was a great cozy stay. The cottage is updated. The bed is a little soft and the area rug probably needs to be changed or a vinegar cleaning however , it was a great stay and the owner was very nice.

Perfect Location on The Hill

Cozy little cottage behind the owner’s house. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Owners were so friendly and very accommodating. We had coffee, fresh fruit and beverages waiting for us upon arrival. Clean linens and very comfy bed. Perfect location for anything you want to do at The Hill and very close to other attractions in STL.
