Awesome Lake House

This was our 3rd time at the lake house. So obviously, we love this lake home. Whether we were on lounge chairs on the new deck, sitting around a roaring fire or inside playing games or watching a movie, it’s peaceful and relaxing. We enjoy the local wineries, shops and restaurants. One thing for sure, we’ll be coming back.

Family Lake Vacation

What a great place to hang out with your family on lazy summer days! Everything was clean, plenty of space inside for everyone to hang out. Outside!! The lake was perfect for swimming and fishing, the fire pit area was perfect for s’mores and hanging out. The hosts left plenty of things to play with, games and outside gear. And it was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing.

Girlfriend Getaway

We have used this VRBO twice and will come back. For us, perfect location, perfect lake house and perfect getaway. Close to small town for forgotten or replenish necessities, nearby wineries, scenic sunset over the lake and fully stocked lake house.

Great for Meramec Float Trip

We wanted a location close to Meramec Park for a float trip. House is an easy 30 minutes to the River. River was perfect. And the. When we got back we could sit outside and enjoy the lake view. Our friend even got engaged at the house! Very well stocked and perfect for a couples getaway with friends.

Absolutely perfect!

Our stay was beautiful and Marti's personal touches of decorations, attention to details and an assortment of amenities, made our stay feel like a home away from home. The beds were very comfortable and the views were amazing. Perfect place to visit! Thank you for opening your home to my family!

Hi Sarah. Did you know you left a 1 star rating which is the worst? I see you were happy with your stay, did you mean to select a higher rating? If so could you change the star rating or reach out to VRBO to revise it please? I would really appreciate it as it affects our bookings. Thank you! Regards, Marti

About the host

Hosted by Marti Poe

Host profile image
My husband and I are high school sweethearts, growing up in Kirkwood. I inherited my childhood small home in Kirkwood and this was the start of our first short term rental property. We love being able to provide housing to many people-usually in town to visit family, a sporting event or for themselves or a family member attending one of St. Louis' many hospitals.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a weekend getaway/retirement home for about 2 years. When we came upon this one we immediately fell in love. We enjoy kayaking, fishing on the lake, sunsets and just relaxing in the fresh air. This home is set in the middle of the countryside. We decided to make it another short term rental since we both work and are not able to enjoy it now with our work schedules.

What makes this property unique

Peace & quiet! Semi private 14 acre lake. Only 4 houses total share this lake. Bring your kayaks, canoes and fishing poles or just sit and relax and enjoy.
