Spacious 5BR Home | Amazing Shower | Near SLU & Tower Grove | The Gate STL

We visited end of June with a party of 10. A set of parents, 3 adult children with 5 little ones ranging from 3 to 7 yrs old. We booked from Thursday to Sunday and the weather was very hot and lots of rain (which meant more time at the house). The house was perfect for us. The family with 3 boys took the basement level as their own and it worked great for them. The master bath was luxurious; we took advantage of the slipper tub. The king size bed was not very comfortable; too soft for me and frame squeaked and moaned (which could be heard on the main floor) when anyone would roll over. Felt like the frame was not completely put together. The tiniest room with the single twin bed was not used. Several others mentioned, and I will again, the frustration of there being no kitchen cloth. No oven mitts, no wash cloths or sponges for hands, dishes or cleaning the counters, and not enough pods for the dishwasher. Those are minor issues, and there is a target across the street. I would recommend brining your own. We went to the magic house, the zoo, a little adult shopping (At Home and and antique mall) during the day, and played games at night. We really did have a wonderful time. The WIFI did not work. I contacted the help number and they tried to help, but eventually we just stopped trying and made other plans. I really do wish it would have worked because it would have made things a bit smoother. Even with these small complaints we were impressed and would stay again.

House has great sleeping and entertaining space. It’s clean and beautifully updated on a quiet street. We booked it with the house next door for a group of 20 for an extended family gathering. One thing to be aware of —that is not clear from the listing— is that the property allows for a maximum of two cars parked on site. These are in parking spaces accessed via a narrow alley. The street the house is on allows permit parking only. The management company told us we might need to park additional vehicles several blocks away — challenging with babies and grandparents. However, the parallel street and perpendicular street allow parking and did not require permits. While not ideal, it wasn’t as bad as initially expected. Definitely something to plan for if booking the property for a large group.It could use a few more basics — I’d bring extra hand towels and more cooking serving ware if staying here again with a group.With those caveats, would highly recommend. The interior is lovely and thoughtfully designed.

Beautiful property. Well laid out and in great condition.

Beautifully decorated home. Immaculate. Very comfortable and plenty of room for our large party. Will definitely be back when our plans bring us back to the area.
