Easter in STL!

We stayed in this beautiful home in Dogtown for Easter. We were visiting with our dog and this place was PERFECT! The home is on a very quiet cul-de-sac and it was a good neighborhood for walks with our dog. There is a fenced in backyard with AMPLE space for dogs-and people! The home is very clean, very nicely appointed for humans and pets-the beds are so comfortable! The owner made it so easy to check in, to manage our dog away from home (it was very rainy and there were plenty of cloths to wipe down wet paws) and a dog bed/bowls in case you didn’t travel with your own. The house DOES NOT smell like a ‘pet house’-it’s exceptionally clean and the kitchen is very well stocked with cooking supplies. We made dinner one night and I baked a carrot cake to take to an Easter luncheon! We had an amazing stay! Thank you Lisa!

Great little house in Dogtown

What a great spot! We brought our three kids to STL for a long weekend and had a blast! The house was perfect and had plenty of beds. It was clean and the host even provided a few snacks and a welcome note. Communication with the host was amazing—she was responsive and so helpful, sending a thorough list of recommendations for places to eat and things to do. It was so nice to have toys and books available for our kids to play with when we were at the house. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great Stay!

I loved this property for my first time in St. Louis! The location was central to many of the places we visited, the check in/check out process was easy, and the host was great with communicating with me from the time I booked the house to the time I checked out! The host also offered many great suggestions for things to do/places to eat/etc!

Grandparents, infant and dog

The location was PERFECT for everyone involved! Perfect size home to keep track of our 20 month old grandson. Perfect fenced in back yard for my wife's dog. Excellent location in a quite kid friendly neighborhood, close to everything we wanted to visit with our grandson and my wife. We have stated a new family tradition with our grandson.

Family vacation

Great location and super cute! Had everything we needed and beds were comfortable. Lots of stuff for kids at the house too. Driveway only fits 2 mid size cars, so we had to park on the road in front of the house. Only downfall otherwise everything was great and super convenient location.

2 Night Stay to Visit Family

This property is in a great location with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and activities. It was very clean and matched the listing details. There were no issues with any items. The street and neighborhood were quiet and felt safe as well. The host communicated extremely well and went above and beyond to ensure the house was welcoming and all our needs were met. You can tell she genuinely cares about the happiness of the guests. I would absolutely stay here again on a future visit if the property was available and she would have us back.
