We had a wonderful stay. Great place. Bedroom/bathroom layout was a little odd on the second floor and may not work for some groups. Bedrooms are all connected with the only bathroom on that floor between two of the bedrooms. Second full bathroom was on the first floor.

Beautiful Historic Home!
Our family (5 adults) used this proprty as our base to explore St. Louis. Great neighborhood (walked to dinner one night) with easy acess to Busch Stadium and Union Station (less than 10 minutes to each). Susan greeted us at the property and gave us a quick tour of things and we were on our way. Wonderful weekend and a great lodging experience!

10/10 Recommend!
The neighborhood was super cute (sister city to New Orleans so it has that vibe). The house is a classic historic home with all the historic charm so make sure you are familiar with that (loud settling noises, odd lighting, a little stuffy ).
One key thing to note, one of the beds is too small for a 5,6” or taller person. This ruled out 2 of our 3 person group from sleeping on that bed. That bed in particular was very uncomfortable also.
We thoroughly enjoyed the movie room and the spacious kitchen.
