About this property

Cozy, Fun, and One-Of-A-Kind!

**If you book for dates June 23-27 then check in time will not be available until after 6pm ……. The Shaw Fox's Den is a cozy, unique, and fun basement space (w/ it's own private entry) that offers everything you'll need for a comfortable short term stay, while also adding all of the amenities and charm that would make you not want to leave (especially if you like foxes!). Uniquely decor'd & accented with rustic wood furniture, green shrubbery, and of course the fur-babies of the woods - this space truly has everything you would expect in a luxurious "human" FOX DEN! ;-)

The Shaw Fox's Den is a finished basement suite - a clever (like a fox) space that offers a private bedroom with a luxurious queen sized memory foam bed and 32” smart TV, a separate living-room space with 50” smart TV and a small full-size (73” x 46”) pull out sofa bed (w/ memory foam topper) that can sleep one easily or up to two (snuggly), full kitchenette area with mini-fridge/microwave/sink/tea-coffee maker (with tea & coffee provided), dining table that seats 4, full bathroom with shower and a small fold down vanity table w/ lighted mirror, closet/dresser/storage in bedroom, multiple fast charging USB power outlets, and a private entryway into the space.

*Please note: this is a basement suite, and there is another rental space above this space in the main portion of the house.

**please be sure to read over all house rules before booking**

**MAKE SURE your guest count is accurate when booking, otherwise your reservation total can change or increase
.............................

*NEIGHBORHOOD DETAILS
The Shaw Fox's Den is located in the beautiful Shaw/Tower Grove neighborhood, which is currently one of the most popular, hippest, and safest neighborhoods in STL City. Once you experience it you'll see just how beautiful, green, and quiet it truly is. The den is also walking distance to a number of premier-rated restaurants, coffee houses, bars, wine bars, ice cream shops, the MO Botanical Garden, and of course....beautiful Tower Grove Park! TG Park has miles and miles of paved roads, which makes it perfect to take the scooters on for hours of fun zipping around outside in the beautiful scenery.

*A full detailed listing of what is nearby and our recommendations is printed in the onsite house manual.

*Scooters available to rent for an additional fee

Tower Grove Park
This wooded Victorian strolling park rewards meandering. Its 340 kinds of trees could chart every shade of green, and they attract 200 kinds of birds, from red-shafted flickers and monk parakeets to ospreys and ring-billed gulls. Henry Shaw developed the park to give St. Louis “a grand pleasure ground,” with wide lanes for horse-drawn carriages, gates guarded by zinc griffins, and exotic pavilions and gazebos. Every few feet, there’s something to see: lions copied from the tomb of Pope Clement XIII, heroic sculptures (Shakespeare’s here), busts (including Mozart), and antiquities (columns from the Old Courthouse and stone “ruins” from the old Lindell Hotel, reflected in one of the most picturesque ponds in St. Louis). Park officials also recently uncovered a long-forgotten stream on the park's east side, accenting it with rain gardens and native plants on either side.

Also right on the other side of the park is the Grand Avenue strip - which is full of eclectic shops and amazing eateries - many of which serve authentic Asian & Middle-Eastern cuisines, along with classic American favorites.

Tower Grove Park - key summer events
- Tower Grove Pride Fest
- Festival of Nations
- Food Truck Friday’s
- Saturday Farmer’s Market
- Outdoor Yoga on Saturday’s

Not the comfy stay we were looking for

I stayed one night at the Fox's Den with my 17 year old son. It was uncomfortable from the very first moment we stepped in - complete darkness with no indication of where the light switches could be located (far from the entrance, on the other side of the room). The space is a lot smaller than the photos make it seem. The hosts have certainly taken a lot of care in branding this listing, as there are tons of foxes and woodland accessories, but very little attention paid to the actual comfort of the guests. The pull-out sofa is tiny and strange, and you have to move furniture to make it into a bed. There are a million rules posted everywhere, but no meaningful instructions, like how to work the televisions or how to keep the shower from leaking. Neither of the televisions would turn on, which was disappointing after a long day of driving. The host stopped responding to my questions directly after we checked in. The last impression of the place was that the host didn't communicate that I would get a parking violation for parking in front of the house on the first Wednesday of the month, which is apparently street cleaning day. As a person traveling from out of state there was no way for me to know about this situation. So, I now have to pay a fine that could have been avoided very easily with a quick heads-up. Over all our stay was very annoying. Would not recommend.

Cute and cozy! It is much smaller than it looks in the pictures though, especially the shower. We could also hear the people above us walking pretty well (they did provide earplugs & white noise machine though!) and the window was open without our knowledge the first night, causing it to be very cold. Still a great stay overall!

Visit to St Louis

We decided to try this Vrbo place due to us needing to make multiple visits to St Louis for our son who is having surgery at the local children’s hospital and we live 4 hours away. It was a nice check in process, the place was well kept, had everything we needed just for the night and much more cozy we felt like than a hotel room. Would highly recommend this place!

Weekend getaway

The space was perfect. It was adorably decorated so much love and detail went into everything. The host were always just a quick text away. Neighborhood made us feel safe and was the perfect short distance for all the fun St. Louis had to offer. Be aware as they mention in the listing this is a basement rental therefore it has low ceilings, has very little natural light, and is very cool. Quite literally, a foxes den. None of which we had a problem with at all. They did not detract from our love of this space at all!

Great stay, with a couple notes.

Had a great stay. As a previous reviewer mentioned, they did go a bit overboard with the label maker. Generally useful, but makes you a little nervous to do something wrong. Also had a worm friend sneak in from somewhere because of the heavy rains during my stay. Im not sqeamish though and deposited him back outside. Just a hazard of a basement in an old structure. Note that the bathroom shower is QUITE cozy. If youre over 5'11 you may be uncomfortable.
