**About our pricing model**
Because every property on VRBO (and other short term rental websites) are owned by a different owner, they will all have their own house rules and pay structures. We use a variable pricing model to give our guests more flexibility - dependent on the size of your group. Comparable property's to this will mostly be priced at a flat rate for 6 guests. But because our property has (surprisingly) received a lot of bookings in the past from solo couples (2 guests), we wanted to best accommodate this by starting at a decreased base price, and then allowing the price to be adjusted accordingly, dependent on the group size. So if you have 4-6 guests in your reservation, the pricing then increases to make it comparable to the other 6 guest property's in the area. We do conduct regular analysis' and comparisons, and we feel we have priced this property fairly and comparable to other similar spaces in the area - the only difference is it can vary dependent on your group size. Please reach out if you have any questions in regards to this.

>>>LOYALTY PROGRAM: Stay with us twice (at the same property), and you’ll receive 5% OFF of your stays FOR LIFE at that property. If you make it to 10 stays, then we will give you one free night to stay with us at any of our properties.
(Note: this only pertains to nightly rate costs, does not include any fees or taxes).

Tower Grove Park
This wooded Victorian strolling park rewards meandering. Its 340 kinds of trees could chart every shade of green, and they attract 200 kinds of birds, from red-shafted flickers and monk parakeets to ospreys and ring-billed gulls. Henry Shaw developed the park to give St. Louis “a grand pleasure ground,” with wide lanes for horse-drawn carriages, gates guarded by zinc griffins, and exotic pavilions and gazebos. Every few feet, there’s something to see: lions copied from the tomb of Pope Clement XIII, heroic sculptures (Shakespeare’s here), busts (including Mozart), and antiquities (columns from the Old Courthouse and stone “ruins” from the old Lindell Hotel, reflected in one of the most picturesque ponds in St. Louis). Park officials also recently uncovered a long-forgotten stream on the park's east side, accenting it with rain gardens and native plants on either side.

My family enjoyed our stay. It is an older home where the floors creak and the stairs are narrow but there were many updates. We felt comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed for our visit. Host was responsive when asking about the washer. Overall my family enjoyed visiting St. Louis and the Rustic City Inn worked great for us.

We stayed one night at Rustic City Inn. The home was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen/bathrooms were very nice. The neighborhood was safe and easy access to downtown and interstates. Be careful of Google maps-Flad Street end and continues in several places, you will need to improvise directions. Host very accessible via VRBO app and responsive. Would stay again and would recommend.

It's a cute place in a really great neighborhood. We loved that there were several cafes within walking distance. The house itself is nice enough for an older building, as well. There were just a few things that we noticed as time went by that keep me from giving this 5 stars: -It wasn't fully clean. The showers were dirty, there was a dirty hand towel in one bathroom, one of the rugs had crumbled up food on it, there were cobwebs in the blonds and some corners, and the mirrors, televisions, and many other surfaces were greasy. They had originally let us know that the cleaning person was very busy that weekend, so this may just be the fault of that, but it definitely looked like they had missed cleaning some areas. -It was uncomfortably hot upstairs in the bedrooms. The AC was locked so we couldn't turn it down, which meant that the house couldn't get cool enough upstairs for the upper 90-degree days we were there. I'm sure the place is lovely in the spring and fall, but I wouldn't recommend it in the heat of the summer. -I also wouldn't recommend more than 2 couples stay there despite there being 3 bedrooms. To get to the upstairs bathroom from one of the bedrooms, you have to walk through the other bedroom, which wouldn't work well if someone was staying in it. -Also, the furniture on the upper decks isn't what is shown. The deck that shows the Adirondack chairs has nothing on it and doesn't feel stable when you walk on it. My husband was disappointed by that.

Everything about this place was great with two exceptions. It is in a great location and neighborhood. Being an older building was not surprised by narrow steep stairs, squeaky floorboards. What bothered me was lack of lamps/ lighting in bed rooms and living room and the limited use of thermostats to 72 degrees. Too hot at night for our usual sleeping habits. These were only reasons I did not give a 5 star rating.

Nice 2 story home with back porch and yard. It was clean and well-furnished. Our only suggestion is that is not great for senior adults; the stairs are narrow and all bedrooms upstairs, also stairs to get into the house. I should have read the description more carefully.

I lived in St. Louis for grad school and stayed in this VRBO with 3 friends for our 10-year reunion. The house was pretty and well-maintained, but we couldn't so much as have lunch at the house with our other friends without clearing it through the property manager first (so we skipped it) and a week after our stay I was asked if we'd broken a coffee pot we didn't notice, let alone use. I'm not sure if this is an STL short-term rental thing or unique to the property, but I've never dealt with so many rules and so much scrutiny from a property manager/owner in any other VRBO or other short-term rental I've stayed in any other city.
