Cute cabin type decos, full size appliances, all the ammenities you could possibly need. Plenty of room for two people. Close to the wineries and since it’s close by check out Washington, Mo. Lots of shops there. We just might have to stay here again!
My friends and I stayed here to go to the wineries. The property was great and our contacts were very accommodating and responsive! Overall, our experience was absolutely wonderful!
I am fussy. And this was soooo nice! We came to St. Louis for my daughter to have surgery. We stayed here for 2 weeks while she recovered, and the owners went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Erin brought in a recliner from her own home for us to use for my daughter to sleep in. It was quiet, clean, and so cute! The temperature was easy to control too, contrary to the previous review. I would stay here for a vacation, it was awesome.
We were in Defiance for a family wedding and stayed 4 nights in the Reubling Cabin. It was delightful--perfectly stocked and spotlessly clean. Quiet and comfortable in all ways and gorgeous surroundings. We were even treated to a sudden cloudburst and hailstorm which was lovely on the tin roof. I highly recommend this charming home where the owners have attended to every detail with obvious love and care. Five stars.
This was my second time using Evolve for travel and I have zero complaints! The cabin was set behind the main house, had easy parking, and was exactly as described. The beds were extremely comfortable. The decor was adorable. Everything was clean and in order when we arrived. The area is just outside of St Louis, and has the most beautiful views and scenery. Driving into “town” was a treat every time. The area was quiet, other than the birds chirping. It was truly a gorgeous place to spend our vacation.
This adorable cabin has been our top best place we’ve ever stayed at for Vrbo
Right next to the Katy trail. This cabin has had a lot of love and attention to detail put in to make it a very comfortable stay! Very comfortable bed, best high pressure shower head I’ve ever used, brand new kitchen. We sat out in the yard both nights, there is comfy outdoor seating on the front porch. Things I always want to know before I go… the coffee pot takes a regular sized coffee filter, and they had some in the cabin when we were there. Don’t forget your shampoo and soap, those aren’t provided. And even though this town is in the country, Ubers were available between wineries if needed. Absolutely perfect weekend!
This rental exceeded our expectations. This unit is a small cabin that is beautifully decorated with many added conveniences. The beds were so comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside on the front porch as a family while playing games.
We loved everything about this rental. It was clean, comfortable and just perfect! Couldn’t have asked for anything better!
My teen daughter declared this property super-cute and was excited to sleep in the loft. The location is near St Louis suburbs and the Hidden Valley Ski Resort (which is wear we were going). Easy check-in/out and the operators were very responsive.
The property was nice and clean. It was not completely clear that the cabin was in the back yard since the outside photo is of the main home. The cabin is NOT for winter staying unless everyone stays upstairs. The heating elements are nearly on the ceiling on the main level so the main level would be freezing but upstairs would be boiling hot. It made for some uncomfortable nights if you have more than 2 guests. The oven would not get to temprature or stay hot making cooking impossible. We also clogged the toilet and got it fixed, but it seems the pipes are small or something. We only had 1 trash bag and no dish soap. I will say the bedding smelled SOOOO good!
Worked perfect for our visit
Loved this unit! Exactly as described and everything that we needed. The unit was well designed with quality finishings! It was right across from the Katy Trail and plenty of wineries close by. It didn't hurt that we had beautiful weather too!
