Perfect Location on The Hill
Cozy little cottage behind the owner’s house. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Owners were so friendly and very accommodating. We had coffee, fresh fruit and beverages waiting for us upon arrival. Clean linens and very comfy bed. Perfect location for anything you want to do at The Hill and very close to other attractions in STL.

Studio plus
It was a great studio with a deck. The bed was soft so for older folks, like us 😊 There is a futon no couch or chair. Kitchen and bathroom were good. WiFi would not work on deck which we like to sit outside. Everything was very clean and convenient. Restaurants everywhere in walking distance. Great neighborhood.

Clean and small
The cottage was small but very clean. The hot water was sketchy. The host was very helpful and friendly. The ad said there was a hot tub and we were very disappointed that was not correct. We enjoyed being on ‘The Hill’ and being close to several attractions.

Cottage in the Hill Diatrict
The only negative is that the window air conditioner had trouble keeping up with the heat outside. Late afternoon/evening found us warmer than we liked inside. Cottage is clean, comfortable, private, and within walking of amazing Italian eateries. The Hill is a fun place to stay and this cottage didn’t disappoint. There was a fenced yard which was very convenient for relieving our two small dogs! Dumpster in the alley allowed us to dispose of dog waste conveniently. Would likely stay again.

Our stay at the cottage was pretty short, but it was lovely! The property owners are very nice (including their little mascot) and the cottage itself is cute and functional. It’s in very good condition. I highly recommend staying if you’re looking for a nice property to stay.

Great location
We loved that parking was easy and the neighborhood was very walkable. It may be too far away for some folks, but we were able to walk to the Botanic Garden and have a nice outing. Everything about the stay was easy and we appreciated that the hosts had things set up to meet our needs when we arrived.

This is our second stay at the Cottage on the Hill and we look forward to staying here again. It is a quaint, clean studio style cottage. Authentic Italian Cuisine awaits less than a block away. This was a fabulous place for an overnight stay with our 2 small dogs. We will be back!

Cute and Clean
They provided snacks and were welcoming and friendly. Cute neighborhood with good places to eat within a block or two and very close to the parks! My only note is that it smelled a little off and it may have been to do with the AC being in a window near the dumpsters behind the property? Not sure because the house was spotless! Maybe a glade plug in or such to keep it smelling fresh?

Italian district gem with a lot of crystal!!
Loved this spot! I flew out by myself to pick up a new family member (new puppy!!). I went over Mother’s Day weekend. Great spot right in the Italian district. I got great food all walking distance. Place was super cute! Was even cuter in person. Loved all the crystals they had around the property. They let me use a bike to ride around town since I didn’t rent a car. The hosts were great. Great communication. Felt very welcomed. I love visiting St. Louis. When I come back, I’ll want to stay at this spot again.

Host met us when we arrived. He was very nice. Took the time to show us everything and answer our questions. First VRBO. It was a pleasant experience. Our host John stocked our kitchen with drinks, fresh fruit and coffee pods. Plenty of corner dining spots near by. We would stay again!! Thanks John and Mary for a good stay!
