Midwest travelers looking for a luxurious home away from home for vacation retreats have a new option just an hour from downtown St. Louis in the historic community of St. Albans, Mo. Located on a hillside overlooking the Missouri River and the picturesque St. Albans Valley, The Studio Inn at St. Albans is now available for week-long vacation rentals.
The beautifully renovated, circa 1900, stone mansion features six guestrooms, all of which offer stunning views of the Missouri River; a towering great room with a grand piano; an elegant dining room with a player piano; billiards and cards rooms and a private study. Over the past eight years, the property has served as a popular destination for overnight bed and breakfast stays, as well as for weddings and corporate retreats, but guests now have the option to reserve the entire house for longer vacation stays with larger groups. Single night reservations will also continue to be accepted for those looking for shorter getaways.
Those who reserve the entire house will enjoy complete access to all the pet-friendly home’s guestrooms and common areas. Week-long stays are available for a cost of $3,500. Single night guestroom rates range in price from $175 to $395, based on the type of room requested. Wine and daily breakfast service are included with all single room reservations.
“Previously, stays at The Studio Inn at St. Albans were reserved for single-night bed and breakfast guests, but given our proximity to so many Missouri attractions, we realized we could also be a perfect destination for those planning longer vacations or staycations,” said Datra Herzog, owner of The Studio Inn. “We look forward to welcoming tourists from across the Midwest and providing them with a historic, elegant and tranquil place to stay, as they enjoy all that St. Albans and the surrounding area has to offer.”
Guests staying at The Studio Inn are just a short drive from a variety of year-round activities and attractions. During the summer months, outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of nearby hiking and biking trails and golf courses, while families can enjoy The Studio Inn’s proximity to Six Flags over Mid America in Eureka, Mo., the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Center in St. Charles, Mo. and Purina Farms in Gray Summit, Mo.
In the cold weather months, The Studio Inn offers convenient access to the Hidden Valley ski area in Wildwood, Mo. And, year-round, shoppers staying at The Studio Inn are just minutes from St. Louis Premium Outlets and Taubman Prestige Outlets in Chesterfield, Mo. Wine lovers can also take advantage of convenient access to several stops on the Missouri Wine Trail. And when it’s time to relax back at The Studio Inn, guests will revel in the picturesque landscape of the surrounding St. Albans community, which has been captured by renowned New Regionalism painter Bryan Haynes in his latest book featuring several original works of art commissioned by Herzog.
“As tourists begin making their 2014 travel plans, we encourage them to keep The Studio Inn in mind,” noted Herzog. “Whether it’s a quick weekend getaway for two, or a vacation with the whole family, we offer luxurious and relaxing accommodations in one of the most scenic spots in the country.”
