We wanted to come back to St. Louis. Based on our previous stay the obvious choice was Napoleon's Retreat. We read a recent review and discovered the retreat had new owners. Sometimes new ownership can make or break an establishment. The new owners made a few minor changes - for the better. New bed linens and dinnerware were just a... More

Having stayed here in the past we made our reservation despite the fact that it was under new ownership and we were not disappointed! (It often makes me leary when a place you love is no longer under the same care as in the past) Stacy, our host was sweet and helpful, but never intrusive. Rooms are clean, beds are... More

My friend and I stayed here for two nights while in town for a concert. The house itself is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. It is not far from downtown St. Louis and locally there are some great restaurants and shops to experience if you don't feel like heading into town. What really set this experience apart was Stacy, co-owner and... More

The B&B is in a great location and the rooms are to die for. The owners are delightful. The rooms were clean, bed linens and towels were clean and plush. You can tell that they really care about your experience. The breakfast each morning was amazing. We would definitely stay again when we are in Saint Louis. Could not have... More

Lovely Victorian Bed and Breakfast. The service was easy and excellent, I received a beautiful, tasty breakfast and good nights sleep. Loved the antique quality of the experience with a immaculate, modern bath, WiFi and flatscreen, a subtle blending of the convenience we've grown to depend on and the care and sweetness of a time gone by.

This made our holiday, big wow factor. This B&B is only 5 mins drive from the Train Station and is easily walkable. The hosts are great, have provided amazing French influence furnishings to this period home, and put on an amazing breakfast!!! We stayed in the large Lafette room that cost $118 incl tax. This was a very large room... More

Michael and Jeff are gracious hosts. Always impeccaable. Wireless is consistent, no drop offs. Every room is unique and provides a "different" experience to the stay - have slept in them all! Try the baked grapefruit for breakfast, other items are always great too. I'll be back! Thanks Michael and Jeff.
