Quiet lake near St. Louis

Our preteen/teen enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Parents and Grandparents enjoyed morning coffee on the screen porch while watching plethora of birds and deer. Very close to St. Louis attractions.

Nice getaway spot!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The pond setting is peaceful - spent most of our time just sitting out near the water reading/journaling/relaxing. Even caught a few fish! The location is closer to a road than we expected, but it didn't cause any issues. It's also within 15-20 minute drive of many restaurants which we appreciated. Would certainly consider staying again!

My wife really liked the rustic feel of the place and was impressed with how clean it was at the same time. For me, it felt like a retirement property that I’d had for years, it was very welcoming. We didn’t take advantage of the water (kayaks, fishing, etc..) but we had friends over and used the grill to cook. We’d take our dogs outside in the back of the house and there was never any problem. The point of this stay was to visit friends, watch old movies, relax, and do some studying, it was a great choice.

Amazing Place To Stay

This place was amazing! When looking into renting a hotel room for 5 of us to stay we came across this little piece of amazingness. Beautiful property and the owners were so nice. There was so much to do and they were VERY accommodating. I couldn't say enough good things about this place and have already recommended it to freinds to book for their stay at the end of the month.

Short getaway

My husband just wanted to get away for a few days with the dogs to fish and relax. The house is very nice and clean, the hot tub was amazing. We met Kim , one of the owners and she was very friendly and very helpful. We would definitely stay there again. Five out of five stars for everything.

Great Getaway!

Everything at the cabin was wonderful. The pictures dont do it justice. From the views to the porch to the hot tub down to the little things like spices and condiments, everything we needed was there. We were very comfortable and impressed with our stay. We hope to come back again. Thanks for a fabulous time.

Lovely getaway

The property is absolutely beautiful. Whether you want to fish, soak in the hot tub, have a fire, or just relax inside and play games. There are also so many things nearby to do! I can't say enough about the host and hostess communication prior to and during your stay. They were great!!! Will definitely book again and recommend to others.

Back in time

Loved all the Knotty Pine . My grandma lived on this lake and this was her brother in laws home and his wife. He was wonderful with carpentry, even made grandfather clocks. Not much had changed. Well the hot tub wasn't there a nice plus. Loved the wood stove on screened in patio. Heard owls and coyotes. They had lots of holiday decor which made it very festive. And owners very very nice.

Loved this little piece of heaven!

My husband and I had such a restful and relaxing stay at this cute little lodge. We enjoyed coffee in the sunroom, fishing, boating, grilling, playing board games, the view, the HOT TUB! I don't believe we turned the TV on once. Everything we could have possibly needed and more was provided and anything else we wanted was only 10 minutes away. It's one of those places that makes you feel like you're home, not at a stranger's house or a hotel. The only bad part was having to leave after 3 days! Thank you so much Susie and Ernie for sharing this beautiful, comfortable, serene, peaceful home!! We're hoping to return for a fall trip!

Very relaxing and fun vacation!

This was our second visit to Susie and Ernie's wonderful property. It was a return home of sorts for my husband who grew up in Belleville. We loaded our tandem bike into a rental van for the 820 mile drive from Raleigh, NC. My husband's Dad drove up from New Mexico. We all had a great time! The bike riding is so nice with so many fewer cars to deal with than in N.C. The weather was beautiful, and we enjoyed spending time on the patio and on the floating dock. I thought my husband was going to sleep there! Susie and Ernie are great to work with and have provided everything to make our stay enjoyable. We plan to return next year!

A beautiful property that made it easy to rest and get away from the hustle and bustle. The offered amenities were great and the home was super clean. We do plan to return to the property in the fall to enjoy those beautiful sunsets.

Stunning Property

For a group of empty nesters, a girls trip has a different meaning than it does when you're in your 20s and 30s. This place gives you a chance to relax, let loose a little, get out of your comfort zone a little, fish, go kayaking, and spend some well deserved time together.

Secluded hideaway, great fishing

My best friend of 50 years and I spent four days at this lovely house. The hosts were wonderful; answered any questions we had very promptly. We are both in our 70s and the stairs were more of a challenge than I had anticipated from the pictures, but we managed. The house is lovely, the grounds are great and the fishing was awesome. We would definitely recommend this or a quiet getaway, especially if you like to fish.

From the minute we pulled in, relaxation set in. Such a charming property, we had all the essentials for an amazing weekend. Kim and Tony were on top of everything, so incredibly welcoming and offering local recommendations... they are the perfect hosts. We were in town for a lax tournament and the house was within a good distance to everything we needed. So grateful for the perfect weekend for our family.

Just what i needed.

Visited a friend who lives local. Found this place on a vrbo search and absolutely loved it. Quiet and out of the way. Was feeling depressed and this is exactly what i needed to lift my spirits. I hope the next time i visit, this will be available. The hot tub helped a little too. 😁
