DEAR WONDERFUL GUEST: Please read the ENTIRE description of this wonderful property BEFORE booking. This description explains all of the features, amenities, house rules and the process for check-in. To insure that everyone is "on the same page", we ask that you PLEASE read this important information PRIOR to reserving this property. Particularly, if you are booking this property via a third-party platform other than our direct website, you need to be familiar with this information PRIOR to booking. We cannot offer refunds through third-party booking platforms beyond the published standard cancellation policies. Again, please read this entire description. Thank you!

This charming 2-bedroom home is beautifully decorated and offers many great amenities including stylish furnishings and appliances (stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, washer/dryer, etc). It's located just off the Belt Highway near I-29 and 36 Highway. You’ll love my place because of the coziness, the cleanliness, the amenities, the quiet street, off-street parking, etc.

As a host, I enjoy meeting new people! I love hosting visitors to St. Joseph and will do everything I can to make sure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable! Because I am a "clean freak" myself, I am very particular about the cleanliness of my places. We do all of the cleaning ourselves (after all, no one can do it to meet my high standards!).

I provide amazing amenities like wonderful decor, complimentary high-speed Wifi, hair dryer, cooking utensils, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, iron & ironing board, coffee and coffee maker, washer & dryer, dishwasher, smart TVs, and so much more! All of our properties are very close to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, and more. In addition, our properties are located near Mosaic Life Care hospital and Missouri Western State University. You can also enjoy music, news, weather, and tons of information with the Amazon Echo (Alexa)! There's one in each room! She's installed and ready to serve you! (NOTE: For an additional fee of $75, we can modify the second bedroom to include two twin-size beds instead of one queen-size bed).

VERY SAFE AND SECURE AREA! Our properties are located in very safe and secure neighborhoods. All are in the “newer” part of town, east of the Belt Highway. To give you added security and peace of mind, all of our properties are equipped with a user-friend security alarm system which you control from a key fob that we provide to you upon check-in. In addition, outdoor video surveillance provides you with the extra comfort of safety and security (video surveillance is on the OUTSIDE of the property ONLY). You’ll rest well at one of our properties!

WHAT ABOUT PETS? Unfortunately, we do not accept pets in or on our properties. We LOVE animals, however, in order to be fair and consistent from guest to guest, we've had to adopt a "no pets" policy. In addition to the possibility of a pet soiling the carpet or causing some damage, pets can leave a dander behind that future guests may be allergic to. Because we want ALL of our guests to enjoy a clean, non-allergenic environment, this is another reason we don't allow pets in our properties. Additionally, the City of St Joseph has strict regulations regarding barking dogs and the disturbance they may create for the neighborhood… this is another reason we do not accept pets on any of our properties. Thank you for understanding!

PROPERTY ACCOMMODATIONS: Please note that this is a two-bedroom property complete with a very nice and comfy queen-size beds in the master bedroom and secondary bedroom. (NOTE: For an additional fee of $75, we can modify the second bedroom to include two twin-size beds instead of one queen-size bed). This property is suitable for no more than four guests (including children/infants). In order to maintain compliance with our insurance carrier and keep our properties in tip-top shape and the furnishings looking new, overnight sleeping is NOT allowed on the sofa and air mattresses are not permitted (our insurance carrier mandates that only bedrooms may be used for overnight sleeping). Because of the decor, electronic technology, electrical outlets and some furnishings, our properties are not suitable for curious toddlers. We want every member your family to remain safe and have an enjoyable stay! Our properties are not designed to host parties, reunions, or social functions for people who are not actually registered guests staying at the property. Only registered guests should be occupying and using the property. Thank you for understanding!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE: Absolutely NO drugs or illegal substances in the state of Missouri may be brought into our property. Due to our insurance regulations, we can only check in the guest whose name is on the reservation. We cannot check in or turn possession of the place over to ANYONE other than the person who actually made the reservation or is listed as a GUEST on the reservation. The reservation must accurately reflect the number of guests staying at the property including children/infants. Thank you!

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU! Upon your arrival, I will meet you at the property to program your own unique custom access code, show you how to operate the security alarm system, and get you checked-in. Additionally, you'll sign a check-in form stating that you're familiar with the house rules and to confirm your check-out date. You will show your identification and complete a basic guest registration card for our insurance purposes. Check-In time is anywhere from 3:00pm until 11:00pm. We will attempt to accommodate a check-in prior to 3:00pm if the unit is available and ready. If you plan to arrive after 11:00pm, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements, otherwise a $50 late check-in fee may apply. We are required to meet guests at the property for check-in, verify ID, and show you where the fire extinguisher is located. NOTE: Our properties are not the typical AirBNB, VRBO or HomeAway short-term rental. Most of our reservations come through our own website. So, if you are booking this property through one of the third-party platforms, please understand that our check-in process may be a little different (as explained in this listing) from what you might be used to. Thank you for understanding!
