This house was an excellent vacation spot for our family with kids (ages 10 and 12.) The St. Louis sights and attractions are a quick, 30 minute or less drive. The back patio is an oasis and the pool was immaculately maintained. The property is very private and pretty. The host, Marie, was very helpful and accessible if we needed anything.

So glad this was an excellent vacation spot for your family. The back patio and pool are truly meant to feel like a private oasis, and it's wonderful to hear the location made it easy to reach all the St. Louis sights and attractions. We work hard to keep the property private, pretty, and well maintained, and we're happy that came through during your stay. Thanks for sharing your experience and for being such great guests.

Relaxing

This property was wonderful! 30 minutes from St Louis, onsite host, spacious, clean and cozy. Marie was wonderful. Brought us donuts from a local bakery and made sure we had everything we needed. We brought our dog with us. Marie's puppy came over to play. Loved it. We would love to come back to this location in the future! Thanks Marie for be a wonderful host!

Very beautiful home and property, you feel like your not even close to the city. Best stocked kitchen I've ever seen at a place we rented; all the cool kitchen tools and spices. We really enjoyed our stay. The property managers were very helpful and gave good suggestions things to do in the area.

Marie and location are amazing

Marie is amazing. She was a great hostess and very responsive. She even made chocolate chip cookies for the kids. Not only was Marie great but the property was too. The house was the perfect location for a trip into st louis and then relax at night. The kids had plenty to do and the adults were able to relax. Definitely recommend this location.

Wonderful property hidden away in a suburb close to St. Louis. The owner lives on the property and is very friendly and available for any questions or concerns or just to say hi. She bought us doughnuts from a local shop one morning. The house is eclectic, fun to explore and so much fun. The kids loved the game room, huge basement, large saltwater pool, smart TVs, etc. Close enough to St Louis to go into town easily. Perfect place for a large family gathering.

Truly Paradise

The hosts and the property did not disappoint. The house is eclectic with tasteful decor. The amenities were great. The outside oasis was peaceful and clean. Nothing was left out. They have thought of everything and provided a wonderful environment to enjoy our family time and our daughters birthday celebration.

Beautiful property!

We had a great time staying at this beautiful property! There was plenty of room for 11 of us and our dogs. The kids loved the game room downstairs, and we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The yard is huge, so there is a lot of space to run around and enjoy. Marie was extremely helpful and kind, providing snacks and drinks, and checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We were so grateful for her hospitality throughout the week. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice getaway!

This house was perfect for getting together with friends and relaxing in the pool and hot tub. Lot's of space to gather as a large group or find a quiet place for just a few people.

This place is amazing

From pulling into the secure gate, to driving the drive looking at the beautiful lawn, to meeting the owners…this was beyond what we had expected. The house is amazing, the hospitality was far beyond anything expected, the view was great and the fun to be had both in and out of the house was endless!! We had 11 people and still had extra room. Each room is unique and beautiful.we had our fun in St Louis and will stay here again and just relax and enjoy being at the house! If this is available for your dates and group size, you will not regret getting it!

Great for Big Groups and Kids

Marie was an amazing host. She was very responsive and available when we had questions. She even made chocolate chip cookies for the kids. The location was great. It was easy for us to drive into St. Louis for the day to enjoy many different activities (Zoo, aquarium, The Arch, City Museum, Magic House and Science Musuem) and then be home at night to relax. There was plenty of room for the kids to play and the adults to relax. The patio was great and we enjoyed many nights grilling out.
