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.

Studio plus

It was a great studio with a deck. The bed was soft so for older folks, like us 😊 There is a futon no couch or chair. Kitchen and bathroom were good. WiFi would not work on deck which we like to sit outside. Everything was very clean and convenient. Restaurants everywhere in walking distance. Great neighborhood.

Clean and small

The cottage was small but very clean. The hot water was sketchy. The host was very helpful and friendly. The ad said there was a hot tub and we were very disappointed that was not correct. We enjoyed being on ‘The Hill’ and being close to several attractions.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Stuart

Host profile image
I'm a happy person. God blessed me with 7 children! They are all grown and have families. My grandchildren are now a great joy to me. (11) and 5 ggreat grandchildren. I enjoy hosting, baking, writing poetry, growing flowers and gardening, swimming and the woods.

Why they chose this property

Why NOT this property? It's the perfect cottage in the perfect location. And I love accommodating people, knowing they are having fun and/or getting important things accomplished. And I am being helped nicely with my personal finances. Thank you all for helping me help others who need and deserve it.

What makes this property unique

I have met so many wonderful people, by hosting, that I never would have had the chance to meet! Teachers, nurses, a professor, a cross-country biker, entrepreneurs of all descriptions! These people have enriched my life in ways they can't imagine, even though we were like freight trains that passed in the night, I will never forget them.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
