About this property

The Dackel - Townhouse in Historic Soulard

Located in the heart of Historic Soulard within walking distance to the neighborhood coffeeshops, used book store, Farmer's Market, and dozens of locally-owned restaurants and bars. The Dackel is a light-filled, two-story loft-style townhouse with a private entrance and off-street assigned parking with enough room to park two vehicles in tandem (one in front of the other). Amenities are conducive for a short or long-term stay. The brick courtyard is a relaxing space to enjoy your morning cup of coffee!

The space includes a full kitchen and living room on the main floor. The second floor starts with a spiral staircase and features an ultra comfortable King bed, full bath, and large walk-in closet. All basic cooking essentials, coffeemaker with fresh roasted coffee, linens, towels, iron, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, high speed internet, and a 48" SMART TV, and record player with records are provided. Free washer and dryer, with complimentary laundry detergent, are located in the basement for your use.

The private front entrance has code locks for easy self check-in. You'll be provided with a personal code prior to your arrival, which will be unique to you.

My wife, Laura, and I live three City blocks from the The Dackel. We'll assume you'd like completely privacy during your visit, but if you need immediate personal assistance, we can meet you within minutes.

Please note that while the location provides you with the benefit of convenient access to great restaurants, bars, and shops, you will be in a bustling entertainment district and may be subject to occasional urban sounds, such as a loud car or excited group of bar-hoppers walking past your home.

The Dackel is next door to The Dachshund and and The Doxie, which are similar Townhouses to the instant listing. If you are looking to accommodate more guests, you can rent one, two, or three spaces at once if they are available! Because we operate adjacent townhomes, we try our absolute best to book wonderful guests to ensure your neighbors are respectful. As a result, we do NOT host guests that are local to St. Louis and/or with 0 reviews! This our non-negotiable policy.

The Dackel can accommodate a maximum of 2 guests. NO additional guests will be permitted on the property at any time for any reason during your stay, unless they have been pre-approved.

* If you are looking for a long-term rental (two or more weeks) due to a work or family commitment, please send me a message and we can discuss a discounted rate based on the length of time of your planned extended stay.

Lovely long weekend

we found this rental because we wanted an upscale experience in the heart of a unique area in the city, and we got far more than we expected! The property was well-maintained and charming, with a lovely courtyard and usable kitchen (my partner and I love to cook, so it is was great for that!). We also loved sitting on the porch and having martinis :-) Our hosts were responsive and welcoming. The neighborhood was lovely!

Weekend getaway

We live in Missouri and have been visiting St. Louis for many years but wanted to spend a weekend exploring a neighborhood that we weren’t quite as familiar with and Soulard was our pick. Our townhouse was super cute and the location was perfect for our needs. The hosts went above and beyond to make the space welcoming and we loved the binder with neighborhood recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Close to the fun!

Property was clean, in a very good location close to all the attractions in Soulard. Only downfall was the 1 and only bathroom was located up on the second floor- via the spiral staircase each and every time. Would not be so easy for older persons.

BEST little spot to stay in Soulard!!

I don't know if this comment box can hold all the great things I have to say about The Dackel, Jim & Laura, and the historic Soulard neighborhood in St. Louis. I'll try, though because this place is amazing! First off, the information provided for arrival, parking, and check-in is very helpful and accurate. The keypad makes self check-in a smooth process. Upon opening the door and walking into our townhouse, we were over the moon that it looks exactly like the pictures and instantly felt like home. It's decorated so well with a mid century modern + retro mix that works really well and creates a "lived-in" cozy effect. We loved playing music on the record player and even donated an Urban Cowboy soundtrack to the collection from our visit to The Soulard Farmers Market, which is just a short 3ish block walk away. Actually, nearly everything you need is a short walk away! We frequented The Protagonist Cafe where there is a big selection of used books in a large variety of genres, a good wine selection, and awesome coffee & pastries. Even with two bars a stone's throw from the place, we really didn't experience much noise from those establishments. We felt safe coming and going, although we weren't out really late at anytime during our stay. We enjoyed meeting our neighbors in the adjoining units and spent a lot of time hanging out on the patio visiting and drinking wine. The place is FULLY equipped with everything you need & the binder has very detailed info. Hope to return soon!

Perfect Stay

I can’t rate this property and owner high enough. The owner was accommodating and allowed an early check-in. The property was clean, in a great location, and came with a few extra perks in the fridge! We will look to stay here for all of our future trips to St. Louis.

All the small details add up

The owner, Jim, communicated before our visit with all the info needed to help us quickly and easily locate the property and check-in. The fridge was loaded with complimentary snack and water and a bottle of wine. The welcome book listed everything we needed to know about the property itself and included info on local eateries, the farmers market and which day to visit, local attractions and more. The decor of the property inside and out was loaded with thoughtful and unique touches tying in the theme. The bathroom was loaded with amenities such as plush towels and bathrobes, fresh cloths for makeup removal, and bath wash, conditioner and shampoo - just to name a few. These are just a few of the details that helped make our stay a 5 star success!

About the host

Hosted by James T Lettau

Host profile image
My wife, Laura, and I are transplants to St. Louis. She is from Philadelphia and I am from Pittsburgh. We moved here in 2012 for new jobs, met each other, and fell in love with each other and St. Louis! We live in Soulard and are very passionate about this neighborhood. We own two businesses in Soulard, Protagonist Cafe (the local coffeeshop and used bookstore) and Pieces (a board game bar and restaurant). We live above the coffeeshop and are highly active in neighborhood groups and boards. Laura loves to compare us to Luke and Lorelai from The Gilmore Girls, especially after we started our AirBNB and Vrbo journey!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property from a long-time resident of Soulard who operated this space as a short-term rental for 30 years! The moment we stepped foot on it, we knew it was magical. The moment you step on the property you are surrounded by an open-air Courtyard filled with beautiful foliage and aged ivy cascading up the historic brick building. It truly is a quiet oasis away from the urban setting. The Dackel itself is a modern, clean, renovated space that makes you feel at ease the moment you enter. The first thing we hear most of our guests do upon arrival is throw on a record, pop open a bottle of complimentary wine, and relax.

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! You are walking distance from quaint coffeeshops, the highly popular and historic Soulard Farmer's Market, and bars and restaurants (many of which are known for their gorgeous outdoor courtyards and patios). The Dackel is also a 5 minute Uber drive from Downtown so you can easily access the Arch, the Cardinal's, the Blues, music venues, and the new Ferris Wheel and Aquarium! If you're more of a homebody, you can avoid the bustling activity outside by cozying up and making dinner as we provide all utensils for cooking. We are also within walking distance of a locally-owned grocer, Vincent's Market.
