Family Friendly Century Home Next to St. Louis Zoo | House in St. Louis

Stay in the ideal blend of history, comfort, and convenience in this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath century home just steps from Forest Park and the St. Louis Zoo! Located in walkable Dogtown, you’ll be close to restaurants, coffee shops, and St. Louis’ best attractions, all within a 5–15 minute radius. The airport is a quick drive, making arrivals and departures effortless.
Inside, the home is designed for families and groups. The primary bedroom features a king bed and an en suite bathroom (recently added!). A second bedroom has a queen sized bed and a bonus room used as a designated office space. This bathroom is also on the second floor. The third bedroom has 1 twin bed and 1 twin daybed with an additional twin trundle. The home sleeps up to 7 guests comfortably, and the kitchen and living spaces are set up for gathering, meal prep, and relaxation. The basement has laundry, a new half-bathroom, and game tables. We’ve stocked the home with everything from toys and books to a high chair, infant port-a crib, wagon, and baby basics so you can pack lighter and travel easier! PLEASE NOTE: There is not a bathroom on the main story of this old house!
Outside, enjoy one of Dogtown’s rare treasures: a spacious, private fenced backyard on a double lot. Play yard games, let the kids run, relax around the fire pit, or sip morning coffee on the oversized front porch. With off-street parking, you’ll never worry about finding a spot. Walk just 10 minutes down the road to a playground near the Zoo entrance! Make use of the yard games included!
This home just had its 100 year birthday last year! As with any century home, you may notice a few quirks along the way such as creaky floors, unique angles, and the kind of personality that comes from a home that's been well-loved for generations. We've thoughtfully updated the space for modern comfort while preserving what makes it special.
Located in the heart of Clayton-Tamm/Dogtown, the home is surrounded by local restaurants, pubs, parks, and neighbors who love the community. Because of this vibrant setting, you may occasionally hear normal city sounds --passing cars, neighbors enjoying their yards, or the friendly bark of a nearby dog.

THIS HOLD IS AUTOMATICALLY RELEASED WITHIN 5-7 BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING YOUR CHECKOUT, ASSUMING NO DAMAGE OR EXCESSIVE CLEANING IS REQUIRED. WE ALSO SEND A SHORT RENTAL AGREEMENT VIA EMAIL PRIOR TO YOUR STAY, JUST A SIMPLE FORMALITY THAT PROTECTS BOTH OF US AND ENSURES EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE BEFORE YOU ARRIVE.
For everyone's safety, the property is equipped with exterior Ring cameras at the front and back entrances. There are NO cameras inside the home. We also use industry-standard noise and smoke monitoring devices to help ensure a peaceful environment for guests and neighbor. These devices do not record conversations and are solely used to detect excessive noise or cigarette/marijuana smoke, in accordance with local regulations and house rules.
Whether you’re here for family adventure, a long weekend, business travel, or time with friends, this is a comfortable, central, and memorable place to call home. This home is intentionally designed for guests who value charm, quality, and authenticity. If that resonates with you, we think you will want to stay again and again!
