Great weekend stay
Great hidden gem by Mizzou. We stayed for homecoming weekend. We were not in the home much as we were with our daughters but it was clean and cozy. Meet Bill on his way to the parade, very polite. Will book again. Thanks

My mom and I stayed at the Night Owl cottage while visiting my daughter who is a senior at MIZ. We cannot say enough great things about this little oasis - neat as a pin, cutely decorated, has all the amenities and then some, nice parking spots, great communication with the owners, and so close to campus. I cannot wait to come back! Thank you Bill and Pamela for a memorable visit!

Quiet and peaceful!
This cottage is adorable! It’s small, cute and comfortable. Also, it’s so nice and quiet which was what we were looking for. The bed is extremely soft, which I love and my husband doesn’t so mixed reviews on that from us, lol. All on all it’s perfect for a quiet getaway for two people.

Lovely home
This was such a cute home. I really enjoyed my stay there. It was quiet, tucked back of a busy road. There were horses across the street and deer in the back yard! Perfect! I was thinking I could really live in a small house like this. I loved the porch in the front where I sat and read. I also loved how you have decorated it.

Perfect For Our Needs
The cottage is lovely and well maintained. The location is semi-rural and quiet, but close to Columbia's attractions. We used it as a base for biking portions of the Katy Trail. Recommended without hesitation.

Super, super cute cottage. Very, very clean. Can't think of anything negative to say about it. It had everything we needed for our weekend stay plus added breakfast items, bagels, fruit, coffee. Thank you Bill for allowing us to use your beautiful cottage.

Mizzou Dad’s weekend at the Nite Owl Cottage
We really enjoyed the cottage and the beautiful property. It was a better alternative than a hotel room while visiting our daughter at Mizzou. Cottage was clean, cozy and quiet.

Nite Owl Cottage
The property was not as secluded as we expected. Outdoors there was a lot of road noise from a very busy thoroughfare to the north. However, indoors The Nite Owl Cottage is well insulated and so very quiet. Our property managers, the owners, were fantastic--warm and friendly and gracious. We appreciated the welcome we received. But for the proximity of the property to busy streets, we were happy with our stay.
