Cute spot but be prepared for train noise

Girls trip. We enjoyed the place, decor is great and it was set up perfectly for the 4 of us. We had an issue with cleanliness and at first got an odd response but received a more appropriate response the next day. We slept fine (visited the wineries ) but the trains moving and connecting are definitely LOUD. We’d stay again but definitely not with kids.

Perfect Get-A-Way from St. Louis

Simple, cozy, eclectic, and private! Perfect for those looking for something that is not your typical hotel scene. Walking distance to Ste. Gen's historic district. If you are a fan of trains, then this is a perfect place to see, observer, and hear. The hot tub was perfect. Looking forward to a return trip during one of Ste. Genevieve's "events" weekend.

Fabulous

Absolutely stunning stay. Nothing to complain about. Loved the home, host was a good communicator and the location is prime. Train didn’t bother us at all! Actually, the conductor would honk the horn and wave at our son.

Girls Trip

We came for girls trip. Weekend getaway we loved staying here!!! We will definitely come again. It was close to everything. Adorable and unique. Loved the hot-tub. Exactly what we were looking for. We ate at Stellas would definitely recommend. Went shopping and listened to live music at the Biergarten.

Lovely property

The house is adorable decorated! We loved the fire pit and hot tub! As you can see in other reviews, the train does come right by the house, multiple times a day. It did not really bother us though. The ambiance more than made up for the noise. We would stay again if in the area!

Great house in Ste. Genevieve

This place has a great location, just a short drive or reasonable walk from the historic district. Lots of space and all the amenities you need. True that the train does pass by occasionally, but I think that gives the place character (and is not that great a distraction)! Great communication with owner. Keypad entry, which eliminates the need to keep up with keys.

Whimsical and Eclectic

We appreciated the fun vibe this house gave- the imaginative decor is what drew us in to this property. Everything in the house was as expected from the pictures and descriptions online. As others have noted, you will hear the trains at night, and be cautious of the narrow steps to the loft. We enjoyed our weekend and stay here!

Bright, cheery & loud

VERY CLEAN, cute, perfect size for 1-4 people, if you don’t mind sharing space, which was perfect for us! Only downside was it’s right across from train tracks. Only heard them until about 9pm but they were really loud. Ate at Ruby’s sisters place Stella and Me, great food!

Good time.

Everything was fine. Rented mostly for the hot tub. The thermostat is locked and will not go lower than 72°…. It’s summer…. It’s Missouri…. We paid a lot of money…. 68° Should really be an option.

House is OK

This is an older home with a veneer of “rustic”. Not the best place I’ve ever stayed, but certainly not the worst. The hot tub is nice, especially after a day of walking around Ste. Genevieve. The house is near the historic area which was very convenient. There is a Union Pacific switching terminal just down from the house and there was a lot of train activity while we were there. That wouldn’t be so bad during the day, if you are out sight seeing. However, they were active well after 11 pm while we were there, making sleep difficult at times.

Bohemian cute cottage

The inside of the house was pretty cool! Loved the unique style. The biggest issue for us was the temperature control. Loft is extremely warm and main level is cold (had to wear sweatshirts to bed). The outside of the house was not cleaned up and did not look like the picture. It was a little scarey when we first arrived but very pleased with the inside. If the dead landscaping and yard would have been cleaned up it would have made a better first impression.

Train Switching is Loud. Very LOUD.

There was plenty about the property that would have been fine I'm sure had we stayed longer than 20 minutes. That was all it took to realize it was going to be a loooooong night. Unbelievably loud, honks, clangs, and bangs. Sometimes house rattling rumbles. Under the impression we were a quick stroll from downtown we didn't anticipate being down by the river next to a train switching station. Lucky for us we had other options and decided to cut our losses and chalked up our experience to a lessened learned, a funny story to tell, and the most memorable anniversary we have ever had!

Pros and cons

The house was lovely and clean and amenities were good. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was of a nice quality. We enjoyed the hot tub after hiking for 4 hours in Hawn State Park. We also enjoyed sitting in the yard, playing a game around the yellow table, sitting on the back porch having drinks or coffee. Didn't have a chance to use the firepit, but it would have been nice. We were surprised that we had only seen one review that mentioned the train. We could see in the photo that the track was just across the street, but the switching station down the block made for very loud train activity (cars slamming together as the train backed up) directly in front of the house. Fortunately, that stopped before bedtime, but the trains that flew past in the wee hours of the morning were not only loud, but literally made the house shake. Another guest mentioned the steps to the loft. Not a problem for us, but guests should know that they need to be very sure-footed to go up and down. The steps are very steep and the tread is narrow. I clung to the railing and moved very slowly. I would never put a child or elderly person up there. Finally--and this can hopefully be remedied--the house was dripping in a combination of cloying scents from the 6 air freshener devices I found. I suspect there were more that I couldn't find because, even after putting them all outside, the chemically, competing scents were overwhelming. We are still airing out belongings, including the pillows we brought, which all absorbed these perfumes.

This was a neat, bright, and colorful place to stay. We really enjoyed the resourcefulness of the repurposing of the items within the cottage. It was a quiet and relaxing place to stay.
