Kimmswick Porch Haven: Hot Tub •Yard — Guest Reviews

I had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed my time here. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Everything was well-organized, and the little details really made a difference. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the whole experience smooth from check-in to check-out. The location was also great, convenient and perfect for what I needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable place to stay!

Overall very enjoyable experience. Hot tub had issue at the time but these things happen. Outside of that, had no problems of any kind. Host was very responsive to any questions as well.

We didn't actually use the local 'recommendations' so I can't comment on that, but the house was very spacious, and many extras were provided for our use. The house was exactly as listed, and we felt right at home. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. We had a group of 8 ladies, and we had plenty of room for sleeping and bathrooms. Thanks for a great stay!

It was amazing house. We had 9 people staying there. Plenty of room. There were three bathrooms. Which was a great plus. Kelly was very attentive to any and all of our needs.

La casa Está en un lugar poco ruidoso excelente para descansar de el bullicio de la ciudad me encantó y la atención de el anfitrión es muy amigable y precisa

Ten of us came to town for a memorial service and we were so thankful to have a place large enough for all of us. Kelly was extremely responsive, very considerate of our situation and the home had everything we needed and more. I can only hope the space is available when we visit the area again.

Wonderful place to stay, home was beautiful, well stocked, responsive host. Great place to stay! Even had a Christmas tree put up, as we stayed over the holiday! Thank you!

Visiting during Christmas felt like stepping into a storybook. We loved strolling through the charming shops with hot cocoa in hand and enjoying breakfast at the Blue Owl and lunch at the Dough Depot, all easily walkable and full of small-town holiday charm. The house itself was absolutely gorgeous and beautifully decorated for Christmas. It genuinely felt like we were living inside a Hallmark movie. From the warm glow of the décor to the thoughtful seasonal touches throughout the home, it created a cozy, festive atmosphere that made our family feel instantly at home.The amenities were equally impressive and clearly chosen with care, the robotic vacuum/mop (we have one ourselves and loved having it while on vacation), HexClad cookware, Breville coffee maker, high-quality linens, and the cozy throw blankets in the living room all added to the feeling of comfort and ease. Every detail reflected a level of cleanliness, warmth, and intentionality that mirrors what we value in our own home.

This stay was *chef’s kiss* amazing. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. The host deserves a gold medal for responsiveness — every question I had was answered instantly. I asked about a remote that “mysteriously wasn’t working,” and they jumped right into troubleshooting… turns out the problem was 100% me, not the remote 😅. They were so gracious about it and never made a single question feel like an inconvenience. The location is perfect for enjoying Kimmswick. I took my mom and her friends — a few of whom have mobility challenges — and if everyone had decent knees, we could’ve walked to literally everything. Shops, restaurants, all the cute spots… all within 4–5 blocks. Absolute win. AND THE BEDS! The beds were truly incredible. We had a lot of choosy types on this trip and EVERYONE raved about the beds and how comfortable they were. Excellent sleep! Truly a fantastic stay, and I’m already hoping to come back. Highly recommend!

My family and I stayed at this Airbnb for our Thanksgiving getaway. There were a total of 12 of us (8 adults, 3 kids, and a baby). The accommodations were excellent for us and we were able to divide our families up perfectly, and we also used their provided pack ‘n play and high chair. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub during our stay and our kids loved the ladder ball and just playing in the living room while we enjoyed the huge tv and beautifully decorated living room, complete with stockings and a tree :) Kelly was quick to respond to any questions I had and made sure to check-in and confirm that our stay was going smoothly. We also ate at the local, historical restaurant just a short walk away which had delicious food, cool history and a cozy atmosphere. I would absolutely book this Airbnb again if given the chance!

If you need space, a very comfortable bedding, clean kitchen, sparkling bathrooms, and a home away from home, Kelly will surpass the expectations recommend, Kelly was extremely responsive and her place is spotless!!! thank you!!!

Amazing place! Clean and they have everything you need there, highly recommend!

Kelly was very helpful and flexible for our needs and wants for our stay! The property was extremely well kept. The kitchen had anything you could need to cook between the seasonings and the condiments provided, as well as a lot of space for groceries. Our group of 9 had an amazing time and we all enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this property for a larger group of people.

We had a large group in town for a wedding. The place as big enough that people were not stepping over one another and the outdoor area was food for hanging out in the evening. Very clean and super responsive host.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Kimmswick! The house was spacious, clean, and full of charm. The master bedroom was exquisite with a gorgeous bathroom and plenty of privacy. One bathroom door didn’t lock, but it was easy to work around. The living room was cozy with a super comfortable couch, and the kids’ room was spacious and perfect. The backyard was amazing with lots of room and a hot tub we used every night. Kimmswick itself was beautiful with unique shops and great restaurants — we especially loved The Blue Owl Restaurant & Bakery. The host was extremely responsive and helpful, answering all our questions quickly. The only downside was that the listing mentioned an in-house laundry room, which wasn’t available, but it didn’t affect our stay. Overall, we loved our time here and highly recommend this home for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

We stayed at this location for 3 nights for our coworker’s wedding weekend. Our group traveled in from Seattle, Southern CA, MI, etc and Kimmswick was perfect. We explored St Louis and hung out in town too. We caught a food truck Friday and Witches Fest, shopped at the local shops, ate dinner at the winery and lunch at Dough Depot. Everyone kept calling it Star’s Hollow ❤️. The house was perfect for our group. Plenty of room to spread out and have some privacy, but also room to hang out together too. We loved the porch and outdoor entertainment area. The hot tub was fun too! Highly recommend!!!

This property was everything we’d hoped for and more. We had a group of six 50+ women and four in their early 20s celebrating a birthday together. There was so much space in the home, so many walkable activities and plenty to keep us busy in the house from indoor games, outdoor games, the hot tub, etc. thank you, Kelly, for being so responsive and attentive before and during our stay. I can’t say enough about the fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Highly recommend for a weekend away or even longer.

Very nice house simple and easy instructions lovely neighborhood and plenty of parking for everyone. Only issue we had was the front door was a little hard to open but everything else was great definitely will recommend.

Kelly’s property was easy to find. It was a perfect getaway for a group of gals. We utilized the porch, the well prepped kitchen, and the enclosed patio. The instructions to check-in and check-out were clear. The only issue that we encountered was the extremely strong odor of a cat. The property is supposed to be a “No Pet” property. But with the pass through cut out for the cat and the stench of a litter box, clearly a cat lives there when guests are not being hosted. A total of six of us stayed and four of us are allergic to cats. We woke up with itchiness, crud in our eyes, and runny noses. We kept the windows and doors open the majority of the time to allow fresh air in. I have informed the host of our frustration at the lack of disclosure of a cat, since animal allergies are so common. It would seem that this is something that guests should be made aware of when viewing the property. Minus the cat issue the property is quaint and we enjoyed ourselves on the porch and patio.

Great house, was awesome for a family get together

Fantastic stay. Kelly communicated well and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. As a former Airbnb host, I always appreciate a great property and great host.

It was nice and homie plenty of space for 6 ladies

We had a great time. Kelly was very responsive and not only that, there was a slight leak in the roof and immediately she got back to us and there were men working on it within hours.!! we had a great time. It was a great property just beautiful.!! It’s in a terrific location. Thank you for a great stay

Kelly was responsive and helpful with anything we had need of.

The house worked perfectly for our family. The bedrooms were set up well...and the beds were really comfortable...we slept great. The table was big enough to fit our family of 5 adults and 4 kids, so meals worked well too. The back patio with the seating, hot tub and games was wonderful. We did contact Kelly during our stay, and she responded immediately. We were very pleased.

Kelly's place was great. Photos didn't do it justice! The place was super spacious, clean, and the communication was great. The host was super responsive, and helpful. The backyard/patio was great, full of great amenities, and we loved it!

Loved the fenced in yard for kiddos to play! We didn’t use the backyard (way too hot in July) but loved that it was there if we wanted too! If in the area again would definitely stay again!

House was very nice and just like pictures loved it would definitely go for it again

Fabulous home in a cute little bedroom community. Spacious, clean and very inviting atmosphere. Kelly was a gem and answered all our questions in a very timely manner. I would recommend this property and if the need arises, I would rent this location again.

Our family enjoyed our stay. We were there for a very important event and Kelly's home failed to meet the listings expectations. We communicated with Kelly on what this was, and she did her absolute best to make it right. I really appreciated that, even if her efforts didn't come in time to he helpful. It would be great if what was communicated prior to travel was actually in the home. Otherwise, this was a great experience and the home was lovely. Very comfortable and very well stocked. Probably the absolute best I've ever seen in my travels. We were able to have some quality time together and make meals and talk and relax. I was able to cook on the stove, grill, and even grilled on the Blackstone and loved it so much, my wife got me one for Father's day! Kelly was an absolutely wonderful host, extremely responsive, and incredibly gracious. Wonderful home, nice stay. Thanks again Kelly!

We needed a place for multiple families to gather for the weekend. It needed to be large enough and comfortable for everyone. Kelly’s place in Kimmswick was all that and more. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable. The kitchen and living room were fantastic. And there were so many places to sit and eat, have a drink or just relax. Indoor and outdoor spaces were plentiful and being in the heart of Kimmswick meant that you were in a place that was serene and quiet while in walking distance of shops and restaurants. If you are doing anything on the south side of St. Louis, this is a great place to stay. Literally 2 minutes from the I-55 so you can get anywhere north or south quickly. Will certainly choose this location again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The house is very roomy and open. The bedrooms are large, especially the Master suite. It was nice having 3 bathrooms. The hot tub was amazing! It was nice looking up at the stars and moon while relaxing. Kelly was very helpful and available to answer my questions. This house is in a nice quiet neighborhood.

The stay in Kimmswick was perfect-local farmers market nearby-the place was very clean beds firm but comfortable. Nice spice cabinet made cooking a breeze. New Blackstone grill-very nice hot tub Local area is very nice

Great place for a large group, very nice property.

Beautiful renovation, comfy beds and pillows! The hot tub was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Definitely enjoyed this stay! Our host Kelly was a great host. Although we had minor issues, she did her best to resolve them so rest assured if you have any issues, she’ll go over and beyond to resolve them! Stayed with a mixture of kids and adults over the Christmas holiday and there was a lot of entertainment- from the board games and she even had a Christmas tree with Christmas decorations and lights put up! Which was a plus!!! And we’re BEAUTIFUL! Would definitely stay here again and you should too! We wanted so badly to get into the hot tub however, we could not muster up the coldness outside lol the only suggestion if I had to say- is maybe putting tv’s in all of the bedrooms . With a house full, sharing one tv was ok, but with having little ones and variety of channel preferences, it’s doable but not the best. Thanks again Kelly for a great stay!

Great home and location We really enjoyed our stay. So well taken care of and had a wonderful Christmas stay. The close distance to shops was amazing! Very clean and well stocked!

Kelly’s home was very clean and comfortable. It was incredibly well stocked- from the bathrooms, laundry room to the kitchen. Everything was spotless and the hot tub was the perfect temperature and really appreciated in the colder weather and after a long and very active day. Would definitely stay here again!

This place was very nice in some ways but a bit under par in others. The good: The house was pretty and well decorated. It seemed pretty immaculate honestly and the bed that we slept in was really comfortable. The not so good: Everyone had to take barely lukewarm showers because the water just would not get hot even after running for a long while. One person in our party eventually figured out that if you turn the knob all the way to hot but then back almost halfway to cold, then it would get hot. Also, it seems that we did not have complete control of the temp in the rental. It was so cold while we were there so we turned the heat up to 72 - not excessive in my eyes. But multiple times during our stay, including overnight, the thermostat reset to 57. 57!!!!! We were all freezing. I think these are things that should be made clear to the person renting the place. They just made our stay kind of uncomfortable. Also, the floor is a bit un level in certain spots.

Very comfortably and well appointed-convenient to downtown kimmswick-easy walk! Great girls weekend!

Great place to stay. Plenty of space. The little details that all guests appreciate were included: extra toothbrushes, Q-tips, face wash, soaps, shampoos, towels in each room, coffee, sugar, creamer, sauces in the fridge, full pantry of cooking essentials. The details were the highlight of the place. The outdoor area is wonderful. Parking is easy. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay for our strategic planning!
