We stayed for 4 nights on the morning of our 2nd day we walked out to a flat on our car, while we were still looking and thinking of calling AAA , Tom came out went and got jack had our tire off, took it to town got it fixed and put back on in less than 35 minutes later we were off to meet family. The day was incredibly hot and he acted like it was no big deal. They would not even take anything for there time and trouble. The place itself is quite quaint and comfortable and when we come back to visit we will definitly stay again. Kudos Norma and Tom for a having a great place to stay.

The highlight is that there is a beautiful gazebo next to the house with a hot tub, available 24 hrs. We stayed in the "Lakeview Studio", a second story room/suite with a separate entrance (numeric keycode). The property is actually on a farm, near a field which was currently mostly flooded. 10 minute drive from Edwardsville, IL, 20 minute drive from St. Louis. Room was very private and comfortable, with a full bed, small living/dining area and kitchenette (studio apartment style), and private bathroom with shower/tub. Many windows and charming quaint decor. The hosts are a retired woman and her adult son - we had a nice chat with the woman, who was super friendly, accommodating, and casual. Prices were reasonable/comparable to other options. They offer a homemade breakfast but we opted to go out instead. The heater in the room has a loud fan, and the house is within earshot of the freeway and railroad tracks so there is some ambient/background noise (but nothing beyond what would occur at usual hotels near freeway). The room has a lot of quaint religious items, such as a print of Jesus above the bed, and little knick-knacks with religious sayings. If this sort of thing bothers you, you won't want to stay here. Although we are not religious, it did not bother us - as I said, the owner was super nice, friendly, easy going, and I think would be easy to talk to regardless of your religious background/beliefs. Free wifi and a fridge stocked with waters and can sodas, plus coffee maker and tea bags. She even left us a snack when we arrived (bowl of fresh grapes, plate of crackers, bowl of spreadable cheese)! Overall a great experience.

There are ear plugs and a white noise machine by the bed. The kicker, though, is the misquito netting around the bed that hangs from the artificial ceiling. The best part is that the netting smells like cat urine. It's funny, the guest book has entries (all written by men) about their honey moons at this place....why do you suppose these oblivious red necks were writing about how much better it was than their trailer. Could it be that their wives were in tears about the bad sex and worse accomodations? Interestinly enough, most of the pages were torn out of the guest book....can't imagine why. Worst place ever!

My friend and I stayed in the Meadowlark Room, featuring two full beds and a shower/tub. The room was immaculately clean, quiet, and adorably antiquated. Connie and Gary could not have not been kinder or more hospitable hosts. Breakfast was lovely, and hot and cold beverages were available in the common area along with Connie's delicious homemade treats -- she even insisted on packaging up brownies for us to take on the road when we departed! When visiting, do ask Connie and Gary for instructions on how to take a self-guided driving tour of nearby Principia College, which features many amazing buildings by architect Bernard Maybeck and stunning views from the bluffs of the Mississippi River. I'll be looking for an excuse to return to Elsah for another stay at Green Tree Inn... Highly recommended!

The Inn has the same warm and homey feel to it as it was with Connie and Gary. They have converted the "antique" room to a game room and filled it with board games ( or bring your own.) The breakfasts were fantastic (especially Megan's breakfast pizza with a puff pastry crust.) The afternoon treats are amazing (cinnamon pecan coffee cake and fresh raspberry cheesecake tarts..yumm!) The common area with the fireplace and the comfy couch and chairs is perfect after a day of hiking a Pere Maquette or exploring Grafton. The rooms are cozy and very clean. It is such a relaxing getaway ! I look forward to many more trips to the Green Tree Inn !

L'auberge is located on a quiet street in the historic Frenchtown District of St Charles, MO, just 20 min from St Louis. From the lighting to the decor, it was perfectly comfortable. The house has a well stocked modern kitchen, two bathrooms, a dining room for six, comfortable living room with plenty of seating and washer/dryer. Outside, there was plenty of off street parking, an outdoor gas grill, outdoor dining for six and plenty of other outdoor seating. The house was immaculate and perfectly decorated.

It was nice that the drink options included a mocktail so that everyone can be included. You get a salad, truffle fries, a drink, and a dessert...I honestly was not sure it would be enough food but surprisingly it filled me up! Half of my group was gluten free and they were given the option to sub out the chocolate cake for a gluten free dessert. Your meal comes with a card and on the back is an empowering quote, all of ours were different so we had fun going around the table and reading ours! We ended our night by going down to the speakeasy (check their social media for the code!) and I enjoyed a mocktail. The vibes downstairs are very cozy and give you a true speakeasy vibe. Overall the staff is very friendly and accommodating and the food and drinks were delicious. I love that depending on your mood you can have a different experience all in one place: rooftop, lounge, or speak easy!

Essentially it comes with one drink, Caesar salad, a dessert and one carb like truffle fries, which you can choose a couple different variations. We ended up ordering steak and the fish then appetizer of shrimp The shrimp was delicious and the sauce they had with the shrimp was even better We spent closer to $300 which was very pricey. We then went to their speakeasy and spent close to $100 for one drink and four shots which was super expensive. It is a beautiful building, but very pricey. Staff was very pleasant and the restaurant was very clean.

I would not have booked a room with them if I had known that. I would have spent the $30 extra for a nicer hotel with a shuttle. They even have a sign in the lobby saying they don't have one, which leads me to believe that they have this issue a lot. Feels like a scam. Otherwise it's what you'd expect from a cheap hotel. Couldn't use the Keurig because it was filled with mold, but otherwise it was...fine. But being scammed is enough for me to give one star.
