All The Little Things
Our stay at Jon & Peggy’s place was excellent. The location was close to town and exactly as described. The place is quiet and I would recommend it for families, couples, and friends, because of the proximity to Steelville, Cuba, and the Meramec River. The bedrooms are spacious and there is a good size closet to hang clothes. The living room had a Smart TV for all your viewing needs. Kitchen was well-equipped and spacious. Very easily could have prepped a family meal. We felt comfortable here and would book this place again. Jon & Peggy’s place is extremely clean, and the furniture was modern and functional. They were very responsive and welcoming. They went above a beyond making us feel at home. They even had roasting sticks and fire wood ready for the fire pit.

Clean and comfy
This property and cottage was well maintained! The inside was renovated with all modern conveniences and still had a lot of original character left with the house. It was decorated in a country inviting vibe. The cottage was fully stocked with all of the basics plus lots of thoughtful extra items/amenities. The bed is super comfortable and everything was spotless! Peggy and Jon were excellent hosts and very accommodating. We will definitely be back. It was the perfect romantic get away!

A great weekend!!!
We loved the house and it fit all six of us very comfortably. The place is clean and cute and has everything you could need. Anything we seemed to forget was already there which was nice. The owners of the house were great they always answered any message I sent within 20 minutes or less. Our last night there we even hung out with one of the owners and he is a very fun guy who restocked us with firewood and played some great music and joined us for games to celebrate my birthday. All and all we will definitely be coming back and this was the best place we have ever stayed at!

Viola's Cottage is a peaceful, beautiful place. You can feel the history of the grounds and see lots of wildlife. It's close enough to town and to the river.
