Very cute and cozy. Everything you need for a short or long stay. We loved drinking our morning coffee out on the bedroom balcony. Such a pretty location as well.

We liked the coziness of the tiny house and it still had what we needed. The only thing we didn't like was the ac window units being loud. It was hot so they needed to run the whole time. They did work fine, just loud. Overall, decent place to stay for the weekend.

Perfect little spot
Hound Haus as a perfect little spot to feel like you’re having a getaway. I was showing my dog at Purina Farms, so I chose to stay in Villa Ridge. Even though the house is close to the conveniences of the city, it feels like you’re staying at a country house. The grounds are immaculately kept, and there’s enough green space between the other houses on the property for it to feel private. There was enough space to take a good walk with my dog, and at night, so many stars to gaze at from the balcony. The house itself though small, is homey and well appointed and thoughtfully decorated: tiny but tidy. Like all Missouri Haus properties, it was spotless when I arrived, with crisp, white linens on the bed, and thick, fluffy towels. The online guidebook prepared me for the space so that I knew how it was laid out ( bedroom upstairs, everything else downstairs) and what I would need to pack. I’m excited to stay again!

So cute!!
We loved our stay at this tiny house!! The property was so clean and comfy. They utilized the small space so well and there’s everything you need. We had our dog with us and they even had dog bowls, treats, and toys! The location is amazing and so close to Washington and all the wineries and cute shops! Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect tiny house
Traveled to visit family but wanted my own space to escape to every night. This place was perfect. Just enough space for a lone traveler. Would also work for a couple, although the loft had low ceilings so anybody with any height needs to be careful. Steps to loft are steep and narrow, but the bed/bedding was top notch. I stayed in July and the window AC units easily kept up/kept the place super cool. Really the only issue I had was there were a bunch of flies in the bathroom and kitchen that were annoying. Everything else was perfect and the owners checked in with me by text as soon as I got there and responded very quickly to any question or concern I had.

Everything You Need
This property was one of the best equipped vacation rentals that we have ever stayed in. Everything was new and matching. You can tell the owners took pride in their business and were not just trying to earn a few bucks off a Tiny Home that happened to be on their property. It was very clean and the ultimate test: the mattress was in good shape and comfortable to sleep on. High Marks for Hound Haus. We would definitely return.

Great little place, perfect for a couple. Hot water runs out quickly; a more energy efficient shower head might help with that. We forgot oil for cooking but not to worry! The pans were so good Nome was needed!

Cute little place, great price
Nice location to visit wineries, very comfortable bed. The couch is extremely uncomfortable. You can easily feel bars through the cushions, I'm guessing it's a foldout couch. We used extra pillows to sit on for extra padding. Great amenities, nice full size fridge. Mini stove, but everything you need if you want to eat in a night or two. I will warn you the mildew smell is pretty strong and we're not terribly sensitive to that. We had to set our bags out on the back porch for a day or two to air them out after we unpacked, as it stuck to them and our clothes. Overall, a good price for a weekend away in a cute little location. Just be aware of those few details.

Cute Little Place
Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our stay. The home is tiny but very cute. A few things that could be improved: (1) The interior had a bit of a mildew smell upon arrival, but we were able to correct this with some fragrant candles. (2) The location was very buggy, and this was likely the cause of the interior being a bit buggy. In particular, tiny flying moths seemed to be additional guests inside the home. This might also be attributable to the time of year (September). (3) The underside/bottom of the tub/shower insert seemed like it had collapsed and was very loose and squishy under our feet when taking a shower. Other than these few issues, the home was perfect for our stay, and we would probably book it again.
