Our updated and remodeled home was the original farmhouse built in 1938 and the neighborhood was the farm. Over time the farmer sold off parts of his land and the neighborhood built up around it. Several of the homes in the neighborhood are on large pieces of land (2 acres to the left of us and two acres across the street from us) and many other of the houses are just normal neighborhood homes. You get a nice mix of country and suburbs in our neighborhood. We are right down the street from Shelby Farms which is a huge park with paddle boats, zip lining, bike rental and bike trails and lots more.

During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare. Features include laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.

We had a great stay. We had a power outage while we were at the house (tree fell on some power lines) and John was great about communicating with us through the process. The house was perfect for our needs. Definitely recommend this cute little housr

John met us for check-in and did a brief overview of everything. He had taken the time to get basic breakfast items for us, so that was wonderfully unexpected. He also took time to go find me the correct cord to link my phone with the house’s TV. Everything was as presented on VRBO. For those that care, no TV in either bedroom.

Very nice little house that has everything you need to stay! It's close to the freeway, food places and multiple gas stations within walking distance! Pam was absolutely awesome in her communication with me! I would absolutely stay there every time I come in to town! Thank you Pam and John, we were very comfortable in your home!

Amazing place to stay!! Great Home

This property was more than expected. There was plenty of space for my entire family to hang out. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the location was close to the park and not a far drive from most places we wanted to visit. I would highly recommend this home. Clean and spacious!!
