Cold cabin
There was a draft with visible light around the front door that made the small space uncomfortably cold. The thermostat was difficult to adjust to maintain a constant warm temperature. There were a few bugs-Surprised to see at this time of the year.

Perfect 4th of July 2024
The pictures of the property where very accurate. We stayed in the cabin over the long weekend. The AC works great and made the cabin very comfortable. The loft bed was very comfortable with a wall fan providing great air flow. The kitchem was perfect with everything we need to cook breakfast and dinner. There was a shared propane grill on the house deck which was about 20 ft out the door. Very comfortable outdoor seating outside the cabin and on the upper deck around the house. Plenty of off road parking. The town is very small but 2 bar/ grills within a few hundred ft walk. Very safe surroundings. And if your there for the Katy Trail, the trail head is across the street. Really a perfect getway.

Cozy cabin
It was a great property for two people to stay and have a weekend of relaxation and fun… Visited several of the wineries and went to the vintage and antique market a few miles away… Would definitely think about staying there again.

Cute cabin like VRBO close to Wine Country
Cute cabin type decos, full size appliances, all the ammenities you could possibly need. Plenty of room for two people. Close to the wineries and since it’s close by check out Washington, Mo. Lots of shops there. We just might have to stay here again!

Fantastic cabin, great location
Right next to the Katy trail. This cabin has had a lot of love and attention to detail put in to make it a very comfortable stay! Very comfortable bed, best high pressure shower head I’ve ever used, brand new kitchen. We sat out in the yard both nights, there is comfy outdoor seating on the front porch. Things I always want to know before I go… the coffee pot takes a regular sized coffee filter, and they had some in the cabin when we were there. Don’t forget your shampoo and soap, those aren’t provided. And even though this town is in the country, Ubers were available between wineries if needed. Absolutely perfect weekend!

Fantastic rental
This rental exceeded our expectations. This unit is a small cabin that is beautifully decorated with many added conveniences. The beds were so comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside on the front porch as a family while playing games.

Clean, cozy space great for four
My teen daughter declared this property "super-cute" and was excited to sleep in the loft. The location is near St Louis suburbs and the Hidden Valley Ski Resort (which is wear we were going). Easy check-in/out and the operators were very responsive.

Quaint and Cold
The property was nice and clean. It was not completely clear that the cabin was in the back yard since the outside photo is of the main home. The cabin is NOT for winter staying unless everyone stays upstairs. The heating elements are nearly on the ceiling on the main level so the main level would be freezing but upstairs would be boiling hot. It made for some uncomfortable nights if you have more than 2 guests. The oven would not get to temprature or stay hot making cooking impossible. We also clogged the toilet and got it fixed, but it seems the pipes are small or something. We only had 1 trash bag and no dish soap. I will say the bedding smelled SOOOO good!

Great Anniversary Weekend
Loved this unit! Exactly as described and everything that we needed. The unit was well designed with quality finishings! It was right across from the Katy Trail and plenty of wineries close by. It didn't hurt that we had beautiful weather too!
