Your safe and comfortable stay is our top concern.
Room for the entire family
Tidball House has four bedrooms (we usually rent out only three), three bathrooms (two en suite and one in common); the en suite on the first floor features a 48"X 35" shower that can accommodate a wheel chair. (The shower is not flush with the floor--as an ADA certified shower would be--but we have a modification that makes it possible to roll in and out), community rooms including a spacious living and dining room, and a kitchen where the magic happens. We even a very cozy reading/viewing room upstairs, the jewel of the house, a place for calm reflection, reading, and writing. All the upstairs bedrooms are equipped with mini splits for individual heating and cooling. The first floor offers conventional forced-air heating and cooling. The house is equipped with an entry ramp for wheelchair or other handicapped access.
The WHOLE house
Our preference is to rent the entire house for a week at a time. Our weeks begin Sunday afternoons and end Saturday mornings. Only when the house is not rented that way will we consider individual or group stays of shorter duration.
Close to...
the National Memorial of Military Ascent, historic downtown Grafton, and Pere Marquette National Park. Historic and dynamic St. Louis is about 40 minutes away by car.
Maybe more comforts than home
Our goal is to pamper you with home-cooked breakfasts and dinners (when you are not dining out) in a clean and tidy home where you can simply relax. We have high-speed wifi for any work you simply MUST do and for entertainment purposes. We do NOT have televisions in rooms.
