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!

Wonderful stay
We had 11 people stay here. Most of them kids. They loved the pool and the game room. We were told the place was FANCY a lot. Great communication with the host, plenty of space and everything was clean and beautiful. The pool and hot tub were amazing. Plenty dishes and kitchen appliances to use. Fire wood well stocked for our use. We felt safe and had no worries. Even got to see deer in the yard a couple of days. Wonderful time and great hosts!

60th birthday
We were a group of 10, age 60 to 3. We had an amazing four day weekend at Marie’s house! The house is super clean, lightly stocked with staple essentials (spices, basic cooking ingredients, all cookware). The pool is perfect! Has a nice sized deck with plenty of chairs and hang out areas! The property is completely private with a gated entrance and surrounded by tree lines. We saw deer every day, listened to frogs every night and enjoyed our weekend escape! Thank you Marie for everything!!! There are 5 private bedrooms and room for easily 6 people to sleep in the basement area. We loved it!!

Our Quiet Oasis
There were 13 of us staying in this home for the week (6 adults and 7 children). There was plenty of room for us to spread out and have our own space. Each day we did outings in the city usually traveling about a half an hour. However, we were ready to return to our quiet oasis in the afternoons. The home is fully equipped with everything you will need and Marie and Mike were great hosts who took care of us and saw to all our needs.

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.

Jazmyn's graduation
What an amazing property. We were greeted with deer, rabbits, ducks, geese and squirrels each morning. The quiet, peaceful mornings were so serene. The house was perfect. Details matched the description online as well as clean and tidy. Marie, what can I say? You are an awesome host 😊 Thank you for a great weekend. Despite the weather, you helped to make my daughter's graduation party a huge success and full of lifetime memories ✨️ everyone had a great time. The hot tub was sooo relaxing. Mahalo and look forward to staying here again. There's no other place I'd rather stay then at this beautiful home! I highly recommend booking this property for your next family vacation!

Top notch experience.
Can't say enough about this property. Nice private property but still just minutes from stores & things. Everything was so well thought out & set up for a great stay. Tvs everywhere, bluetooth speaker for taking your music anywhere. Movie room uptairs & in basement. Hot tub, pool & covered tiki bar for hanging outside. Grill & lots of seating outside too. Solar lights outside & nice icicle lights in the trees. Such a special place. The owner left us fruit & croissants & several slices of cake for our arrival. You will not regret checking this place out!

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.

Calm and peaceful experience.
The space provided ample room for a family gathering. It’s a calm peaceful environment which was needed during a time of grieving from a funeral. Maria was as excellent host and was one of the best hosts in from experience. She met all our needs and requests. The rooms had different themes and they were well suited. The basement and game room was a nice touch. The deck is great for barbecuing and enjoying nature. The on property pond with them Canadian geese added to the experience. Our entire family is looking forward to coming back to St Louis to the property again in the future. Thank you Marie for an excellent time.

Family Getaway
Great property - lots of room for our family of 7 to spread out. Marie was a great host - good communication from beginning to end. She waa super sweet had fresh fruit & lemonade waiting for us upon arrival & checked on us when a big storm came up within an hour of arriving. Kids loved the saltwater pool, hot tub & hanging out on the huge deck!! Enjoyed watching/listening to all the wildlife - deer, geese, birds & frogs. Saw 8 deer one morning. Rained a few days during our stay, but plenty to do indoors with pool, pingpong, & cards. We cooked most meals at the house and the kitchen worked out perfect, plenty of pots, pans, & dishes. Comfortable beds as well. Awesome property & host!!

great private location, roomy with superb air conditioning
We all enjoyed this property very much (there were 8 of us). It was a sad time for us as I met my three brothers and my father for my mothers funeral. We all traveled from different parts of the country and were able to be close together at this time in a far better way than any hotel could offer and the price was great . Everything was within a half an hour from the house so it was peaceful and private and still in the area of the local attractions. We saw a deer,frogs a snake and fireflies. Being from Alaska the snake and the fireflies were quite a treat. Marie was a wonderful warm host throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Great home
The home was in a great location on an amazing property. It was very spacious for 2 familes( 10 total people), and kid friendly. The guest manager, Marie was very nice and responsive. My only cons would be the furniture in the living room is uncomfortable, and I wish there was more furniture so a large group could sit comfortably. The bathroom on the main level also didn’t lock.
