Perfect Location

The cabin was clean and cozy and perfect location to all the breweries and restaurants we wanted to check out. And loved that it was pet friendly since we love bringing our dog with us everywhere! Highly recommend!

Great place!

Very nice and relaxing stay. Property was exactly as listed and did not disappoint at all! Great location the downtown waterloo and about 30 mins away from STL. Accommodations were great and so was Rika! We even ran out of propane on the grill at 10 pm and it was replaced even before we woke up the next morning. Highly recommended, we will be staying there again!

Who knew you could have a cozy cabin experience inside a small town neighborhood! Just blocks from the Main street life was an unexpected bonus. My partner and I will definitely be booking here again.

Overall experience was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet neighborhood and comfortable accommodations. Only complaint was low water pressure and only sprayer being a rain showerhead.

Authentic Old-time Cabin

Hubby & I enjoyed our 2 night romantic getaway! The cabin is EXACTLY as pictured. We slept like babies in the big cozy bed. The place was well stocked with just about everything a person could need! We roasted marshmallow’s and enjoyed the fire pit. The local stores & shops were wonderful. The only issue I had was my GPS didn’t recognize the address, but people in the neighborhood were very helpful and pointed the way. I definitely recommend staying here! Thank you to Rica for allowing us to stay. I hope Daisy didn’t leave too many fur-balls behind. She didn’t want to leave ❤️

Walking distance to downtown attractions

We needed a quick getaway and this cabin was a perfect fit. This cabin is within walking distance of the downtown area but also very drivable to St. Louis attractions. It is not secluded and within a neighborhood, so you'll pick up on some traffic nearby. Also, we stayed during a colder weekend and the noise from the heater kicking on and off kept waking us up. If you're a light sleeper and plan to use the heater, be sure to bring earplugs. There were some games to use and a television, for more modern conveniences. The kitchen was fully stocked, but quite a few of the dishes we needed to use had to be rewashed. No big deal. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Comfy and Cozy

We came to Waterloo to visit family for Christmas. We always wanted to stay in a log cabin. This one didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about it! The bed was so comfortable, we slept in every single day! The owners were very easy to get ahold of. Great experience all around!

Clean and Cozy

We really enjoyed our stay in Waterloo. The cabin is well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Because it is a cabin, the windows are small so there is less natural light, but the place offers good privacy. All entrance access and directions were clear and accurate.

Perfect Cabin in a Perfect Place

This is our second time staying in this wonderful cozy cabin. For a small space it feels so large inside and that is because the owners have done an amazing job of laying it out. There is every creature comfort you need, as well as a wonderful table outside and a firepit with seating area to enjoy this picturesque small town. Everything was very clean. We will be back as soon as we can!

Cozy little cabin :)

We had a great stay in Waterloo at the cabin! We were there just for a quick, two-night trip. The cabin is so cozy and quaint. It is super clean, and I loved the decor! Check-in and check-out were very straight forward. Very easy to get to and parking is very convenient, just a few steps away from the front door. It is just a few minute walk from downtown Waterloo and a very easy drive back and forth to the STL Airport. Rika was a pleasure to talk to and work with. I highly suggest this property if you find yourself in Waterloo!

Well built log cottage is a reminder of days gone by. Thick square hewn log walls make for a cozy, quiet stay. Close to historic Waterloo. Very comfy bed, well equipped place to escape to. Greatly enjoyed our stay.
