The property was better than expected! Great views and a park nearby and cobblestone roads. The property was very clean with nice linens. The property owners live next door and were very nice with suggestions on dining and activities. No complaints here.

Very clean house and a beautiful location overlooking the river. Our host, Larry, was very communicative and responsive. We hope to stay again next time we’re in Alton.
Adorable house, very comfortable, and great location with incredible views. Host was very responsive and friendly. Might become our go to spot for visiting St. Louis.
Parking was easy and secure, even though the driveway was very steep. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. The patio and deck had amazing views of the Mississippi River. It would be nice if the windows had blinds but since the street is secluded it wasn't much of a problem. The owner was so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!
We stayed here for 9 days and everything was beyond excellent!! Check in was simple. Cozy living room(s) and comfy beds. The view was amazing! It was a true home away from home.
Great house, love the location. Host was friendly and helpful. Would recommend asking him for local advice. He’s knowledgeable and his recommendations were spot on. Wonderful setting, We’d love to come back.
Fantastic property and love the river view. The owner is super gracious and helpful. I'm an Alton native and can say with authority, this is the best place to stay in town.
