About this property

This updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath private home offers plenty of space to relax, unwind, and enjoy time together—perfect for couples, families, wedding guests, weekend getaways, and visitors exploring Kimmswick and the surrounding area.



    Inside, you'll find comfortable living spaces, a main-floor primary bedroom with a private ensuite bathroom, a second bedroom, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay.



    The upper-level living area provides additional room to spread out and features two oversized 45" chaise loungers, perfect for relaxing with a movie, reading, or providing cozy additional sleeping spaces.

    Close to Historic Kimmswick



    One of the best parts of this home is the location! You'll be close to historic Kimmswick, where you can explore charming shops, seasonal festivals and local attractions—and, of course, stop by the famous Blue Owl for its legendary Mile High Pie.



    You're also conveniently located near shopping, restaurants and everyday necessities in Imperial, with quick access to major highways for trips throughout the St. Louis area.



    A Note About the Railroad



    Part of the character of this Main Street location is its proximity to active railroad tracks. Trains pass nearby during the day and night and can be heard and occasionally felt inside the home. We disclose this upfront because we want our guests to know exactly what to expect.



    Whether you're visiting for a wedding, exploring Kimmswick, spending time with family, attending an event, or enjoying a St. Louis getaway, 1014 Main St. gives you the space and comforts of an entire home in a convenient location.

The space was clean and easy to access. We found the sleeping arrangements a bit disappointing for 8 adults, and some attention should be paid to seating for meals for 8 people, as well. We had to pull chairs from the living room and bedroom to seat everyone. Check-in was great, and the host actually met with us, which was great.

This property was not as described. The location next to the Train is very disruptive, waking us up several times during the night. The directions for operating the keypad are not correct as well as the wifi password is incorrect on paperwork inside the house. The furnishings are junk!!! Very uncomfortable beds!! The air-conditioning is terrible. There is a damp, musty smell at all times. The yard is gross and the windows were filthy. The stove and oven were not clean. The toilet in the master bathroom did not flush properly. You had to take the lid off of the tank and manually pull the chain inside the tank in order to flush the toilet. Food trucks park in front of the property and customers lined up in the driveway making it difficult to park. We would not stay at this property again. We have stayed at many VRBO's and have never been this uncomfortable and dissatisfied!!

We asked to be able to drop off luggage around 1 check in was 3 when we arrived the house wasn’t cleaned yet, we left the host a message and it was then cleaned we where not coming back till later that night so was ok. We stayed with our daughter and family and had plenty of room for all of us. Didn’t do a lot of shopping but we knew about the shops in kimswick just ran out of time did grants farm and zoo and may parks around. Host answered all questions in a timely manner. Early on in the reservation process I added a day and then took it out and was supposed to be reimbursed for the one day and haven’t gotten a refund yet but she said she would check on it. We stayed 16 days and could have been more stocked up on things like paper towels and toilet paper but made it work. Our only problem we had was the location of house to train, train sounded like it was coming through the house at all hours of the day and night didn’t find this out until it was to late to cancel I do believe the host might have had other properties that we could have maybe changed to something else.
