Great location
Came here for a mother/daughter weekend to shop in St. Charles and go to some wineries. Was a great location for that. The property was very clean and the house itself was great! I didn’t realize the property was on a lot with another house directly behind it, using the same driveway. I also was not impressed with the “backyard oasis.” There was a motor for the pond that was constantly running, the gazebo over the water had duck poop everywhere, and the pond itself was very lacking compared to the pictures online. There was a dog roaming around that belonged to the house on the same lot, although friendly, I feel should have been mentioned in the listing. It was a great location and in a nice area. There was an issue with the refrigerator while we were there and the property management group was quick in responding and fixing it.

Charming, relaxing stay
We all loved this beautiful house and especially the outdoor patio and gazebo over the pond. House and bathrooms were spotless and all amenities needed were provided. We would happily return here. Family member members were gathered to hear Brothers band play at the defiance winery. House was perfect for lovely dinner out on the patio.

Nice place to stay
The home was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Communication was very fast. We went to Six Flags St Louis but did not want to stay in St Louis. We’ve rented homes for years through VRBO and this one was the best so far!

This place was so nice! Huge kitchen, large living room and bedrooms. Amazing views and some friendly ducks. Close to a grocery store. Hilliest rollercoaster roads around but fun. We loved it.

Wedding Stay
I booked this rental because I was getting married at Daniel Boone Home in Defiance and all the local B&Bs were so expensive. One of my bridesmaids found this house and we immediately fell in love! I made the owners aware the ladies would be staying with me the night before the wedding but we’d be respectful of the property and I asked if this was okay and they were very understanding and were happy to have us. When we arrived the house was absolutely beautiful and had plenty of space for all of us. The ducks on the property were so cute and you could see them walk around the backyard! Everything about this place was amazing and we all had an amazing time. If we ever come back to the area maybe for our anniversary, we will be booking here again. Thank you so much!!

We enjoyed staying in the house. It was very clean. Only two small issues: the ceiling lights in the living room may need to be replaced as the flickered when on. I already left word about the hall toilet not being able to be turned off.

What a treat! This home was lovely. Our family was staying here for a baseball tournament. We were disappointed we didn't have more time to explore the area. What a neat location. The children enjoyed the ducks and fishing pond... Mom was wishing the peaches were ready for picking :) A truly peaceful home. We will be back to enjoy those wineries....Thank you for hosting
