Older house with some character, but overall nice. There were only 3 working showers, which we made do with. There were some more serious issues though. When we arrived the gas had been turned off so we had no hot water, house heat, or ability to cook. Two days later, after begging planet fitness to let the group of us take showers, the gas man came to fix the gas. He then checked the inside lines, the water heater and the stove. When he got to the stove, he realized the gas had been turned on the whole time, so I guess it was lucky the bill wasn't paid, and the knobs on the stove were completely wrong, so there was no way to regulate the gas. He took the knobs off and told us under no circumstance to use the stove. Overall the house itself was nice, but it definitely needs upkeep and be prepared to eat out A LOT if you do stay here.

The house was the perfect set up for our Girls Trip! 11 people with room to spare.

Everything was wonderful!

We booked this place to stay as a team while competing at the 2026 Robotics World Championships. The house was spacious as described with more than enough bedding for the 10 of us. But the surrounding area gave us an eerie feeling, as seen from photos of the buildings. The Uber driver on our way to the house, strongly advised us against venturing out! We loved the expansive kitchen and dining area, and used it to prepare breakfast and dinner so that the team can concentrate on the tournament. But on our fourth day, we saw a note from the local gas company on the door, that service has been shut off due to non-payment of dues by the owner. I can understand an unexpected event like work being performed by the gas company, but failing to pay the service bill when you are renting it out on Vrbo is not excusable. They could not get it resolved for the reminder of our stay, resulting in additional meals expense for us, not to mention we had to discard groceries we had already purchased.The next day turned out to be a unusually rainy and cold day at St Louis in an otherwise warm week. It is also the day of the finals at the Robotics World Championships. Our team had worked over the years for what is possibly once in a lifetime chance. Unfortunately, without the gas and hot water in the shower, we had to start our day with a cold shower and makeshift breakfast. As a coach and a parent, I am a bit disappointed that we were unable to provide even the basic needs to our US team.
