About this property

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

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.

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!

The property was very cute and cozy. If you’re tall this may not be the property for you, but if you are on the shorter size then it is perfect. The communication was very fast and clear. The property itself was nicely themed and clean.

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.

Good little getaway
Very good part of town. Consider it a one bed because the pullout couch is very tiny. My biggest issue was outside lighting. We had to use our flashlights on our phones to get down the alleyway, through the gate, and then down the stairs to the basement because there is absolutely no lighting. Overall good location.

My husband and I had a great stay at the Fox's Den! Everything was as described on the listing. Just be aware that it is a small space and it may be uncomfortable for taller people, especially the shower. Otherwise, the check-in/out process was easy and the communication was great.

Definitely could have been better.
I wouldn’t say the listing was inaccurate, but they definitely used clever angles in the pictures to make it look much bigger than it is. It feels incredibly cramped and cheap. You will also be greeted with “house rules” printed out and taped to every flat surface in the rental. There are notes telling you not to put the plates in the microwave (even though a microwave is the only cooking appliance) and even a note telling you which pillows you are allowed to sleep on. Over all it felt far from cozy, my husband and I decided to check out early.

Cute, and fun place to stay
My girlfriend and I were wanting a last minute trip over Thanksgiving and decided upon this place to stay. The pictures looked beautiful and the neighborhood seemed nice. Upon arriving to the property the place was just how we expected it to be from the pictures. It’s nice and pretty spacious for it just being a basement suite. The decorations were very nice and the place had a great vibe to it. I liked the reminders throughout the property as well as the recommendations given to us by the owners. The communication was great and they even got us an early check in! Overall, my girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay and would totally be back!
