Was a great experience, very accommodating to request needed outside of recommendation. Had all the essentials needed and very spacious that could’ve accompanied multiple guest. Would recommend to all future guest. This place is it!
Hosts were super friendly and accommodating to our requests. We met as a team here and the living room was the perfect space for conversation and learning. The coffee bar was wonderful too!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was very clean, in a great location close to so many activities in St. Louis, and was perfect for our group with six teenagers. The finished basement was an awesome hangout space for the kids, giving them their own place to relax while the adults enjoyed the upstairs. The hosts were incredibly responsive, even sharing a well thought out booklet of suggested activities & restaurants, and made everything easy from start to finish. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home for anyone!

Thank you so much, Amy for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear Gateway Retreat was a great fit for your group and that the teenagers enjoyed the lower level game space! We’re also so glad you found the home clean, convenient to St. Louis activities, and easy to settle into. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!
