This is now our go-to place for all St Louis visits. First, Gayle is absolutely hilarious and stays on top of everything. She was easily accessible and did not miss a beat. Our visit was during Christmas 2022, and they made it extra special by putting up a Christmas tree and setting out decorations everywhere.
The house was lovely, and you could tell they put a lot of thought into every aspect to make it feel like home. I spent hours looking for a nice place to stay, but most of the homes were decorated horribly. I may be a prima donna, but I can only rent a nicely decorated home. Gayle's place was very roomy and decorated beautifully. I felt like I was in a Hallmark movie surrounded by Christmas snow. (I don't know how she pulled that off!) It was also very close to downtown Washington which had beautiful little shops and nice places to eat.
Last, they added special little touches like a goodie basket, Keurig coffee cups, makeup remover wipes, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash in both bathrooms. I will absolutely visit again if they will have me.
