5 out of 5A Hidden Treasure
March 07, 2013
This lovely little house, about 3 miles from the Zoo and Art Museum, is really a treasure. I felt like I was visiting a friend, not staying at a hotel. The house has everything you need, including a lovely fireplace that you can enjoy from your bedroom, fridge stocked with homemade yogurt and fruit salad, eggs and bread, and many other goodies. It is perfectly quiet, because it is located back from the road, and the only sounds were the wind chimes. Other great little touches - computer and printer, a nice collection of music CDs, an amazing library, the rocking chair by the fire and best of all, privacy, as unlike a traditional B&B, you have the whole house to yourself. I highly recommend it!

We had a lovely weekend in St Louis. The Elves Manor was wonderful and so much fun. The rooms are great.With a working gas fireplace in the bedroom and the living room we were very cozy. the Food was great all fresh and organic. I am gluten free and the innkeeper even made sure there were gluten free goodies for me to snack on and for breakfast. A charming little place in a great St Louis neighborhood.

Karen and Harold have created a charming getaway in the convenient West End neighborhood of St. Louis. They keep Elves Manor immaculately clean. We shared our stay with a relative and each of us had space to ourselves as well as enjoying common areas. Kitchen and bath are well appointed, containing most anything one needs. We easily entertained for dinner one evening. Bonus: the bed was exceedingly comfortable.

This was a wonderful place for my mom and I to stay while in the city. Located in the Central West End it is convenient to several destinations throughout the city. Karen gives you an warm and inviting welcome. The kitchen is filled with tasty treats. You won't want to miss her Not-So-Gooey-Butter-Cake!! There are several heath conscious food items that can be easily taken on the go with you on your many excursions throughout the city saving you time. At days end returning to this retreat and soaking in the hot tub is very relaxing and welcomed. Rest assured you'll be sleeping in comfort and awake rested and refreshed.

October 01, 2012
We stayed at Elves Manor Guest House for five days over my sister's wedding weekend in lieu of a hotel. What a treat! From the kitchen stocked with local treats to the comfortable furnishings and beautiful grounds to the gracious innkeeper Karen, Elves Manor exceeded all expectations. I would stay here again in a heartbeat for a family weekend or special occasion. You can't beat the great Central West End location if you want to walk to Forest Park, cafes, bars and shops.

I loved the way Karen had this place arranged in terms of having a TON of food available for us to eat and not have our stay disrupted or scheduled for a served breakfast. We had enough food when we arrived to eat breakfast every day and lunch or snacks almost every day. And the food was delicious! Karen was a perfect host and made great recommendations on where to eat. The house was perfect: It was comfortable, safe, quiet and had a great layout. I would definitely stay again!
5 out of 5Unique- oe of a kind stay!
August 04, 2012
Words truly cannot describe how unique the experience is to stay at Elves Manor. I have always wanted to stay at a bed and breakfast type of place but my husband has nixed the idea for 28 years! ( that's how many anniversaries I have tried the idea on him with NO luck). He has never liked the idea of sharing a space in a house in close quarters and the fact of dining with strangers. When you book a room at the carriage house, you book the COMPLETE house, the private enclosed garage, the lovely patio with private outdoor hot tub and enchanted secret garden. In the busy lives we most live, it almost puts you in shock how private, inviting and relaxed the environment is. It feels as if the place has been placed in a remote area yet it is in the heart of the West End district that is minutes to most places on a tourist's list to visit and dine. The innkeeper, Mrs. Karen, lives on the adjacent property and desires only to please her guests. The breakfast experience of this bed and breakfast is amazing and is as private and homey as possible. The effort she takes is not even comprehendable unless experienced first hand! if you are looking for a private place with your significant other, a girl's trip, a multiple couple friends trip, a family trip, a private extended medical stay.....THIS IS HANDS DOWN the choice! You will leave with plans on staying again! Any time of the year would work but I would suggest spring to enjoy a trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden or fall for cooler weather for enjying the patio, hot tub and convenient walk to near by places. Decide who you want to be with you, the list of must do's and book it!
