Cozy, Fun, and One-Of-A-Kind!

Cute and cozy! It is much smaller than it looks in the pictures though, especially the shower. We could also hear the people above us walking pretty well (they did provide earplugs & white noise machine though!) and the window was open without our knowledge the first night, causing it to be very cold. Still a great stay overall!

It was all good, wish the couch was a little higher. Very nice neighborhood.Don't forget to read the email sent by the host, completely, to insure you don't use the wrong door for entry! :)

Great little basement unit! Very well decorated and cozy. Close to the botanical garden and in a nice little neighborhood, and nicely located for St Louis exploration.

Nothing, it was a beautiful cozy place to get away to. We definitely want to plan more stays.

I waited a week to be sure this is objective and unemotional. Usually I post constructive suggestions for improvement in a private message to the host. In this case, I’m posting a public negative rating to protect the integrity of the VRBO listing system.Property description inaccurate. Good points:Near Botanical Gardens.Quirky fox theme.Price.BUT far outweighed by the bad:Access from street is hard. Steps up, wobbly handrail, more steps down. Very unkempt entry. Dirty steps. Door needs paint. Concrete uneven, loose plaster. Steps down next to big mess! No light switch inside entry door; flashlight needed to find switch for other room. Almost tripped where step down just before finding switch.Misleading description: Should say HALF kitchen. Shocked no stove or toaster; tiny fridge. Thick frost ate up space. Water dripping into fridge. In listing photo, mistook fridge for dishwasher. Listing: “air conditioned.” Unable to find thermostat; contacted host. Replied promptly: a/c controls upstairs in other unit. Contact host; he’ll adjust temp! (not even in property’s guest handbook) First night cold; next day asked for raise of 2 degrees. Reply well after in bed—unable to get the remote to work—sorry.Housekeeping poor. Large cockroach in shower. Closet floor dirty. Vacant space next to shower full of hair dust. Lighted make-up mirror dusty.No tissue, NO SPARE TOILET PAPER! Had to ration the one roll. Unforgivable!Very memorable, but never going back!

Great place to stay super cozy

The home was exactly as described. It took me a minute to get used to the low ceilings, and my boyfriend did have to duck in a few spots, but that is all in the description. It was perfect for our trip!

All the extra details - lovey place to stay.

Very close to nice restaurants and other things

Beautiful place to stay for couples!! Sasha's on Shaw was delicious!! Budweiser Brew house on game day was awesome! 32 Endless Beer, Hotdogs, burgers, and nachos. And you get to watch the ball game from the roof!! The Fabulous Fox Theater was absolutely beautiful!!

Cute, clean, and cozy! The host is very responsive and communicates with ease and efficiency! There is a beautiful botanical garden within walking distance plus some shops and cafes. It is close by to alot of attractions. They do have scooters available but unfortunately we did not utilize. The only downfall was the upstairs renters being loud late night/early morning but for only a short period. 10/10, would stay again and would recommend!

I did not find this basement room to be clean. The bathroom floor moldings showed evidence of prior flooding. The upstairs guest noises can be heard clearly.

Great place and location

Such a cozy and pleasant space! It was warm and well appointed!

Communication was great. Rental was exactly as expected

Host cancelled last minute.

The space felt really cozy and the commitment to the fox theme was next level. My brother and I really enjoyed it

Great location, within walking distance to great shops, cafés, and restaurant's

The rental was super cute and very clean. It was located in a great spot. It was close to a lot of attractions. Host responds back promptly. Especially when we asked to adjust the air temperature. Some of the ceiling are low, with the air vents. If you are over 6 feet tall, you may have to duck.

The property was really well decorated and check-in was easy. The property was comfortable and the decor theme was really enjoyable for us! We were able to park on the street and walk to coffee shops and restaurants close by. I would recommend staying here to explore St Louis!

Really cute place! The decor was fun and the styling was themed really nicely. Good communication from the owners and easy to understand instructions.

We loved staying here! Best Vrbo I’ve ever stayed it. Had everything we needed. It is so cute. The pull out bed was even great. We would love to stay here again. 10/10 recommend!

Cute, but only for 2. Pros: Clean and all in working order. In the incredible Shaw neighborhood. Within easy walking distance to food, coffee, and Tower Grove Park. Responsive hosts. Cons: Not appropriate for more than 2 adults. 4 of us stayed and it was cramped. The “sofa bed” is a child-sized Ikea piece with thin foam cushions that fold out to a double-sized “bed.” Host did try to warn us. Unfortunately no thermostat access, and not enough blankets to warm up in the arctic temperature. Tiny bathroom and shower stall that would not accommodate large bodies. Overall, I would maybe stay again, but only by myself or with my spouse.

The property was perfect for what we needed. We were in town for a ballgame so we really just needed a spot to sleep. The place was clean and the are was quiet!

Excellent location. Two full days in St. Louis.

Cute little place to stay! Wish the kitchen had a toaster oven or air fryer since no stove. Overall Good communication with the host. Side/back entry was a little confusing especially in blizzard like conditions.Overall would suggest to others.

So cute and Cozy. Would definitely stay again. Gave 4 stars for neighborhood because of the parking. Other than that everything was Great. TV in the bedroom was a bit small. And the sound machine wouldnt stay on. Still a great place to stay

Cute place - exactly what we needed for this trip to St. Louis.

We enjoyed our stay at the fox den for a weekend! Property was very close to downtown St. Louis and the neighborhood was very homey. The check in and check out process was smooth. The decorations were very cute and the property was small but homey. It was perfect for my husband and I. It was very easy to hear the tenants footsteps and voices upstairs. Luckily we didn’t spend a whole lot of time there during the day and it really wasn’t an issue overnight. They do provide earplugs and an Alexa to play white noise so that is nice. Overall, had a good stay here and would recommend to a couple for a short term stay!

The Fox Den is a cozy, quaint place to stay. It is in a great location. However, it is for small or short people only, as there is not much headroom for somebody six feet tall or somebody who is of wide girth. It is well decorated but it is rather small space.

This property was perfect for my weekend stay!

My husband and I had a lovely couple of days here. The neighborhood is great and the space itself is great, too. It’s very cozy and cute. The only thing I would warn people about is that the shower is kind of small, so plan accordingly if you are taller or larger.

Best BNB I've been in owners and the neighborhood where great very walkable area

If I had known this would be a basement apartment, I would not selected it with all the recent and forecasted rain. The apartment was too cold for me to be comfortable. I needed to know how far the residence was from the train station, but he did not respond to my email until after I arrived. The people upstairs has several children and everyone including the adults were all very noisy. Between the noise and the cold, I got very little sleep during my stay. I was miserable. This was not worth what I paid for it. Next time, I will get a hotel.

This place was very cute! The noise of upstairs tenants is a little intense so I don’t recommend if you’re a light sleeper. However the location was great and we had no trouble with surrounding guests and natives. It was uniquely decorated and cozy. I will say the floors were a tad dirty, and there were cobwebs on the ceiling and window sills. Also the shower is extremely small and leaky. All small issues and we enjoyed our 2 night stay!

The property and neighborhood are great and as advertised. Some items to note: I am 6 foot 3 inches tall, this is a basement unit and some of the air ducts are at 6 feet causing me to duck all during the stay. Plus the shower is very small not allowing you to bend down to wash your legs very well. There also is no toaster in the unit. We could live with all these items, but gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of it. The unit is decorated very nicely.

This was a great place to stay for seeing the sights in St Louis. Very friendly neighborhood and close to many sights and good places to eat.

I stayed one night at the Fox's Den with my 17 year old son. It was uncomfortable from the very first moment we stepped in - complete darkness with no indication of where the light switches could be located (far from the entrance, on the other side of the room). The space is a lot smaller than the photos make it seem. The hosts have certainly taken a lot of care in branding this listing, as there are tons of foxes and woodland accessories, but very little attention paid to the actual comfort of the guests. The pull-out sofa is tiny and strange, and you have to move furniture to make it into a bed. There are a million rules posted everywhere, but no meaningful instructions, like how to work the televisions or how to keep the shower from leaking. Neither of the televisions would turn on, which was disappointing after a long day of driving. The host stopped responding to my questions directly after we checked in. The last impression of the place was that the host didn't communicate that I would get a parking violation for parking in front of the house on the first Wednesday of the month, which is apparently street cleaning day. As a person traveling from out of state there was no way for me to know about this situation. So, I now have to pay a fine that could have been avoided very easily with a quick heads-up. Over all our stay was very annoying. Would not recommend.

Nice cozy Den Located near forest parkReally comfortable bed !!Highly recommended

This was such a cute, cozy place to stay. It was very clean and we were comfortable.

Property was exactly as described. Very fast and easy communication with Tony. Location was in close proximity to everything we needed. Super clean and super cozy….. felt right at home!!!! Going back next December, and would stay here again but it is already booked for the dates we need :)

I had a relaxing stay at the Fox Den. Owners were very responsive.

Well, we counted.. 44 foxes in the den.

Place was adorable as can be, very easy to locate, location was perfect for our stay. It was great for what we needed, a place to sleep for the night. Thank you!

We decided to try this Vrbo place due to us needing to make multiple visits to St Louis for our son who is having surgery at the local children’s hospital and we live 4 hours away. It was a nice check in process, the place was well kept, had everything we needed just for the night and much more cozy we felt like than a hotel room. Would highly recommend this place!

The place was adorable and just what we needed. I hope to stay again!

Great Location for an Affordable Price! This VRBO is located in the Shaw neighborhood with many delicious coffee shops, restaurants, and bars in walking distance along with Tower Grove Park & the Missouri Botanical Gardens. I wish we could have explored longer.
