Driving in from Columbus as a family of 5 we wanted a house that had historic culture, and this place did not disappoint! Lafayette square is awesome and the house was great. Plenty of room for our family and the bonus theater room was great for the kids to unwind after a busy day. Host was responsive and helpful too!

We had never been to St. Louis for a vacation. The house was fantastic. We’re all huge fans of vintage building technics. The attention to details from the oversized trim to the high ceilings throughout, this house was all we could’ve dreamed of. Susan was so inviting and helpful, prompt to respond and more than willing to help our stay maximize its potential. This is a real gem and in a beautiful community with a pride in its appearance unmatched as far as we’ve seen. We would love the chance to stay again.

This home is located in such a convenient and interesting area. Easy drive to downtown and all the activities located in Forest Park, and if we wanted to walk, we could easily reach several restaurants and pubs, Lafayette Park, and Clementines ice cream (highly recommend). The home itself has a very well stocked kitchen, and we made almost all our meals during our stay. The back deck was a quiet place to hang out and visit, and the home itself is a fascinating piece of history to explore and read about. The host met us personally on arrival and was available for any questions, and we had no issues during our stay!

We loved staying at this house. It was in a great neighborhood with a great park and some great cafes/restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend going to the pond in Lafayette Square Park and seeing the swans (there were other birds and turtles, too). It’s a cute couple that were nesting while we were there with 3 eggs in their nest.
The house was perfect for our family of 4. The third floor was great for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. We’ll definitely try to rent this place again if we head back to St. Louis. Thanks for a great stay!

It was our first trip to St. Louis.The property manager was excellent to communicate with . The historic neighborhood was wonderful and the history of the home was very cool. One note, there a many stairs so keep that in mind if you have physical limitations. Overall a super stay.

This lovely historical home was a special place to celebrate a getaway weekend in St Louis. We enjoyed the nearby cafe for morning coffee at Park Avenue Cafe ( their cappuccino chocolate chip muffins are delish) and the restaurants. The back deck of the home was great for visiting with friends. The decor and architecture were elegant, the art fascinating. Hosts wonderful.

Our trip to St. Louis was great. The house was marvelous. It was such a treat to be there for the holidays because the house decorated so nicely and the neighborhood was alive with lights and decorations. We would return in a heartbeat. Thanks!

The house was in the perfect location in a quiet neighborhood with access to lots of wonderful local restaurants. Also easy access to the highways. The host was fantastic. She was very responsive when I had to make several changes to my reservation, during my stay, and even afterwards. The movie theater on the top floor was such a fun surprise!

Shared this Vrbo with friends to attend a conference at Union Station/Stifel Theater. We were all very impressed!
Great historic beautiful property, well maintained and well stocked with essentials for your visit.
The bed was a bit too firm for my taste which is the reason for the 4/5 stars.
Loved the porch and location. Communication with Susan was excellent.
Would 100% stay again and recommend to friends !

lovely historic building unfortunately, the bedding needs updating and the ripped curtains and broken blinds need replacing. Windows all sealed shut so no fresh air upstairs adding to the musty smell. Susan was an excellent host and sorted out a few issues very early on which enabled us to have a comfortable stay.

We loved staying in this beautiful, historical home in a lovely area of town. Susan is an exceptional host. We arrived earlier than planned but this seemed to be no problem for her. She met us at her property and kindly gave us a tour and showed us how everything worked and where everything was located. The house is beautifully furnished in keeping with the original style of the home, yet there is a modern, spacious kitchen with everything you would need to cook meals. We were in and out a lot but we did cook a large breakfast one morning, and we found the kitchen to be so well stocked that we only needed a few grocery items. The home is located on a quiet, tree-lined street and includes a lovely, peaceful deck and courtyard in the back, where we enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the weather. We would definitely recommend this home and hope we can stay here again on our next trip to St. Louis.

A gem of a home in a quaint location! We had a Girls’ weekend and the home was perfect for gathering in the wonderful kitchen. You must like stairs to stay here. But they are worth it because they lead you to gorgeous bedrooms and movie room. We walked to wonderful restaurants and bakery/coffee shop. Close to many attractions. Susan was great to work with.

Perfect!
My family stayed here for a weekend and it was perfect!! We had such a great time and Susan was so welcoming. She left treats and was even there to give us a tour. I’ve never had a host who was so informative and helpful. We will definitely be returning!
Side note: The bedrooms are upstairs so if you like to sleep in the cold, bring a fan ☺️
Also if you are bringing young children (which I did not, but Being a mom, I always think of this stuff) be sure to bring baby gates!!
