    Innkeepers Description:

    We love people, entertaining, and pampering our guests! Mike gives wonderful "histories" and stories of the house and Lafayette Square, if you ask him. We enjoy living in a fabulous neighborhood with great restaurants starting within 50 feet, a Victorian walking park across the street, and a short walk to the city's farmer's market. We are very grateful people who want to share our city with you!

    Wow, what a weekend. Kathy and Michael made our stay absolutely wondrous. The food was fantastic. Located within easy reach of all that we wanted to see. Quiet, Comfort, Luxery, all rolled into one. We will definitely go back. This is one of the best we have ever stayed at. Definitely worth the price.

    We stayed in the Park Avenue Mansion in St. Louis on Sept. 3 and 4, 2011. It was a perfect location, just a 20-minute walk from Busch Stadium and the Arch. Also, there is a park across the street that is fabulous for a little exercise. This inn has a gorgeous, paved garden that would be perfect for a wedding or reception. It's also perfect for dining or just visiting on a beautiful summer evening. We've stayed in several B&Bs across the nation. This one was the best by far. Loved our room. Enjoyed our hosts, who were very helpful. And, again, location, location, location.

    highly recommend the park avenue mansion b & b

    Kathy and Mike made us feel very much at home and were very helpful! They know the neighborhood and the St. Louis area very well - from what is available to the history and personality of attractions and neighborhoods. Breakfast was delicious, accommodations were very comfortable - combining the atmosphere of the elegant older home with modern conveniences. We loved meeting Garbo, their aging rescue dog. She was friendly but not bothersome - and obviously enjoyed the company of the B & B guests. Definitely added a friendly, homey touch. There were welcoming fireplaces, and comfortable locations for reading and conversation. the garden area, even in March, was beautiful. The neighborhood has restaurants and other attractions. The park across the street afforded a relaxing place for walks - and enough room for a good exercising walk.

    Great weekend getaway!

    A wonderful Balcony Room overlooking a huge deck and garden. Great food and nice conversations with hosts. Loved our stay and want to come back for a leisurely Sunday brunch on the deck. Excellent restaurants nearby and a nice park for a morning stroll. Our place to stay in St. Louis. Lee, Norman, OK
