Hi Sarah, We are having a wonderful time! Love, love, love your place. Coffee on the dock this morning was incredible & last night with fireplace, scrabble & Adele tunes was over the top. Thank so much for everything. Going to walk, hangout & watch the Masters later! Beautiful weekend!

My husband, 4 children, and I had a wonderful time at Innsbrook. As with our previous stay at your chalet, the accommodations were excellent. We had a great time fishing (my daughter caught a bass without any bait on her hook) and did plenty of hiking on the beautiful trails. Thanks, Sarah, for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Chalet 1717

Review Submitted 01/02/13

We had a wonderful stay at chalet. It most certainly exceeded our expectations, the pictures online did not do the chalet justice, much more space than anticipated and tremendous views of the snow fall. Glad I spoke to you previously about items in the kitchen, so we just brought everything we needed which worked out well.

Owner response: Thank you so much for your visit! We try to keep everything you might need to cook a great meal in our well-stocked kitchen.... just like at home. So glad it worked out for you.

FABULOUS VACATION HOME

Guest Kathy H

Review Submitted 01/18/13

My family recently spent 9 nights at this wonderful Innsbrook vacation home. This stay was our families fifth time. I can't say enough about Sarah's home and the heartfelt way she treats her guests, no matter what length of stay they are spending. She makes sure your vacation stay is pleasurable and no detail is left unattended. This past vacation over the Christmas holiday was absolutely beautiful, but every time of year in her home has it's own special feel. Whether it's a winter stay to just relax, enjoying the fireplace and scenery, the leaves turning colors in the fall, visiting all the fabulous wineries, or the many activities available in the summer months....you just can't go wrong. Anything you need or questions answered, Sarah is always available. She helped us this Christmas find a great gal to come and help me get her chalet decorated for Christmas prior to the rest of the family arriving from Louisiana. We have loved having relatives come out for Thanksgiving and other occasions while we are there visiting. The home is really quite roomy, and with the screened porch and deck you never have a feeling of being crowded. Besides this vacation home being absolutely beautiful, there is very little you have to bring with you from a kitchen standpoint. Sarah has done a great job of making sure her guests have most of the necessary utensils and dishes for vacation meals. The beds are comfortable and even with kids, the upstairs loft with a TV room is fantastic for families and having your own space to enjoy movies or games. We live in the New Orleans area and look forward to our next trip there this summer. Thank you Sarah once again for all you assistance in making sure our Christmas stay was so lovely.

This chalet is tucked away in the woods and allowed our family a perfect getaway weekend. Sarah goes above and beyond with everything you could need from extra paper goods to fluffy towels to board games. It is a bit of a trek from the main gate, but if you are looking for complete privacy, this is a nice spot. Thanks to Sarah for being so prompt with questions and making our stay seamless.

The Perfect Weekend Getwaway

Guest Jeanette P.
Date of stay 09/14/12
Review Submitted 09/25/12

We rented the chalet for a weekend to celebrate my mother's 89th birthday. Although a little bit too nippy to swim in the lake (phooey!), it was the perfect place to unwind and relax, bird watch, take walks, and just cozy up to a fire in the fireplace (it was a Fall like weekend!). The accommodations are clean, tasteful and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and this was much appreciated since I cooked for a family gathering on Saturday. All in all a magical weekend that left an ear to ear smile on my mother's face! We would highly recommend it. The best part is that it's only an hour from St. Louis. The perfect getaway. Don't miss your chance to enjoy this wonderful haven ;-) Thanks, Sarah, for answering questions so promptly and for sharing your chalet with us. We'll be back!

We rented both of the houses for a long weekend and had a blast. The furnishings and amenties exceeded our expectations. Our grandchildren caught a lot of fish and loved the paddle boat. We also used the pool and went swimming at the beach. Innsbrook is a great quiet venue. Sarah was easy to work with and she goes over and above with her attention to detail. We have already told our friends and family to rent one or both of Sarah's chalets. The grandkids want to know if we can go back soon.

I cannot say enough good things about this chalet. We were three adults and four kids from 9 to 14. It was wonderful. The owner is very communicative. The directions for getting to the chalet were spot on. The chalet was gorgeous. There was not a single thing missing from the kitchen--serving platters, big pots, cloth napkins--anything you would want to make a complete meal. Nice big dining table. Lots of outdoor seating. Paddleboat was great for the kids-- the lake was small enough they could go anywhere and moms were not worried. Noodles for the water. Books. Magazines. Board games. And Innsbrook itself is quiet beautiful. You will not be disappointed here.

My husband & I, as well as his sister & her husband and their son rented the Chalet for New Years Eve & could not have been any happier! We moved here from Colorado 7 years ago and spend a significant amount of money visiting several times a year! After staying at the Chalet we feel as if we have found a local Colorado that is only 60mins from our home in Godfrey, Illinois. The Chalet had a very nice Ipod Doc, that just made the living room scene the place to be! The beds were comfy & The owners are VERY good about having everything at the cabin you would ever need! The views from the deck were stunning, quiet & peaceful. We are definitely returning this winter as we want to go when it snows.... The owner was very pleasant to work with & made the process very simple! We just can't wait to return!!!!!!Thanks again.... Kate & Adam

Our family enjoyed a perfect Thanksgiving holiday at the chalet. There was fishing, hiking, dog walking, golfing, lots of games in front of the fireplace, football and of course, eating!! There was plenty of room for all 6 of us and everyone described the chalet as very "cozy". Thanks for the wonderful family memories. Renting the chalet is a definite do-over!

We rented two neighboring chalets and hosted our children and grandchildren for a fun-filled week! We swam, fished, paddle-boated and played games and read to the children. Our children LOVED it and our grandchildren LOVED it! We loved hosting this family event --- it is sure to be a treasured family memory!

Owner response: I love to have large family & friend groups rent both of my chalets ... makes it easy for the guests who get their own little section of Innsbrook with lake & woods and plenty of space to spread out. This family put so much loving thought into their plans & coordinated family from across the US -- I enjoyed being a part of it.

Very attractive, usable chalet with such beautiful views to look into the woods or watch the full moon rise over the lake. A nice, well-equipped gathering place for having friends out for the day. Easy to cook in, lots of seating, and activities for kids. In the heat of summer, we really appreciated the air conditioning along with the quiet and green of the surroundings. Sarah is so helpful to work with.

The minute we walked in the front door we knew we were in for an amazing week. A photograph can't begin to describe this beautiful chalet and the incredible view of the lake. The chalet is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and you truly feel as if it is your own home away from home. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked (if you need it, it's there!). We enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the sunset each evening, just enjoying nature at its best. Sarah was incredible to work with. We lost power for a short period of time during our visit, and she was so easy to reach and began working on the problem immediately. We are already looking at our calendars to schedule a fall and winter visit, plus a stay again next summer. Truly, THE BEST trip ever!

This site was perfect for our family reunion. Back to nature and childhood. It was so much fun to sit at lakeside for morning coffee, BBQ leisurely, caught up talking late nigths, play golf or eat at nearby resturant . Next trip we'll try the paddling and hiking. Clear directions, clean and well maintained. Want to get away...this is the place.

A Little Piece of Paradise Right Here in the Midwest!

Guest Lisa

Review Submitted 11/08/10

After just having ended my second stay in 1717, I am thrilled to say that I enjoyed both stays immensely in spite of the different purposes of each trip. Both trips were for girls' weekends, but one was a group of girlfriends and the other with girls in my family. The first trip was in the summer and we upgraded from camping to staying at Innsbrook. The chalet was beautiful and we were able to take advantage of the outdoor space completely. The deck is where we ate every meal and we spent a lot of time on the dock, paddle boat and floating in the water. The second trip had girls as well, but they ranged in age from 37 - 90. The house suited us perfectly. There were no stairs to get inside which was great for the oldest in the group, as was having a bedroom on the main floor. The house was very clean, the furniture is super comfortable and all the ammenities you need are right there. We made a fire every night and although we were only an hour from home, we felt like we were in some faraway treehouse in the woods. The house is so warm, cozy and inviting and the view is beautiful. Having Hanneken's right there on the resort property was perfect and the food was absolutely delicious! We were able to catch a movie after only having to drive about 10 minutes. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle that we were all used to , yet just a short dirve away are movies, shopping, etc. I highly recommend this place and know that I'll definitely be going back! The owner is also fabulous to work with. She can be reached at any time should you have a problem, responds to emails promptly and makes enjoying the trip very easy!

What a Beautiful, Private Chalet Tucked Into The Woods!

Review Submitted 10/17/10

This beautiful Chalet came complete with every amenity we could want. There is a deck out back, with a full view of the lake as well as a screened in patio. The stairs from the deck lead to a private dock where there is a paddleboat for a nice ride around the lake. The chalet is decorated very nicely and the owners are helpful in answering any questions you may have, giving tips of nearby attractions/activities as well. We really could not have asked for a more perfect getaway! My husband and I would both highly recommend this Chalet and will definitely return.

We just came back from the chalet lake home and I am so sad to be at work and not sitting on the dock overlooking the lake. We had a wonderful time and the home is beautiful, it is much prettier then the pictures show it. It is so peaceful and relaxing. When we drove in through the gate we were greeted by the most awesome sceenery and 8 turkeys and baby deer.! Then when I got up in the morning I had hummingbirds and woodpeckers to keep me company.This is one vacation I can say I came back rested and not exhausted. Sarah , thank you for allowing us to be a guest in your beautiful home, all I can say is we will be back!! I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family members

This chalet and its owner did everything to live up to expectations for a peaceful get-away. The chalet is clean, settled in a nice cove on a small lake. Hummingbirds loved it, too, while enjoying the feeder just outside the back door. This place provides the serenity needed to get away from the busy life outside Innsbrook. Although having WIFI helps when choosing to work at your own pace. This chalet is close enough to the main "attractions;" golf, tennis, pool, sandy beach; and provide enough opportunity for diverse enjoyment. Innsbrook provides a nice, quiet relief not too far from the city. The beds are clean and plenty comfortable. The property owner is quick to respond to issues to insure the stay is all it needs to be. 1717 is highly recommended! (Wish it was lower in rental costs. LOL)

Living less than a hour to this beautiful lakeside chalet is at the top of our "Traveling Samsonite Bucket List". The chalet was very clean and well-maintained. The jewel of this chalet are the stairs all the way from the house top deck to the bottom deck right on the water. Sitting on the bottom deck on the water with soft music, glass of wine, soft dim lights from neighboring homes and watching the moon come up was priceless. I highly recommend this beautiful vacation home for people with a busy lifestyle and need a weekend of relaxing.

The chalet is wonderful, peaceful, orderly, clean ~ and if you have a concern or question, Sarah is easily accessible and is above-and-beyond in service!! Truly enjoyed our stay and looking forward to our return visits! Our family (four kids ages 6-16) found something for all of us to enjoy. Sarah has the chalet stocked with games, books, and extras ~ she's really thought of it all. FIVE stars!! "The chalet is AWESOME! We fed fish, there are tons of catfish at the dock! We played tinkertoys, took walks, played in the lakes and rode horses, too!! That was cool. Us kids want to come back for the whole summer next year, it was so awesome! I'm serious!!"

You are immediately surrounded by the peacefulness of the lake and the quiet. It simply makes you want to roll out your yoga mat on the dock and surrender. We loved every minute of our Innsbrook experience! The girls had so much fun at the beaches, paddling around the lake, feeding the fish and making every meal a picnic. We would love to come back again. I will also recommend your chalet to our friends. Thanks to you and your family for sharing your amazing chalet with us!

I took my daughter and four of her friends for her 12th birthday party. They had so much fun returning to the simple pleasures of life. The peddleboat was a huge hit and they loved feeding the fish from the dock. They spent hours playing sand volleyball and shuffleboard. The loft area with the pull out sofa/sitting area, bedroom and bath allowed them their own space and I had my own private bedroom and bath downstairs. I was really able to enjoy myself too while relaxing on the screened in porch and deck. Everything we needed was provided from the ipod dock, dvds, games, and kitchen utensils. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by nature and the sounds of birds. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer to walk the trails and take in some other Innsbrook activiites. Several of the girls' mothers have told me that their daughters said they had a blast there. None of us wanted to leave. I can't wait to return again soon. This is the perfect close getaway for us and Sarah was wonderful to work with. She provided lots of information before we arrived and kept in close contact. The directions were dead on also! Thanks so much for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. We can't wait to return.

The chalet was on a beautiful, secluded site. It was clean and well-equiped. If anything, it even surpassed its description. Not only would we recommend it to friends and family, we hope we can stay there again ourselves! We enjoyed lunch at the grill at the clubhouse; the food was good and the service very attentive. We also had dinner at the Conference Center and it was excellent!

My husband and I were in need of a relaxing break, away from the busy, and stressful work world. The Bernard's Chalet turned out to be even better than we could have imagined. The weather was absolutely beautiful - allowing us to sip wine on the deck and take in the sunshine and the gorgeous views of springtime in bloom. The furnishings were topnotch and very comfortable and the many windows provided spectacular views from any location in the house! We had forgotten what "peace and quiet" really meant until now! Our dog was in heaven, too - she especially enjoyed watching the fish near the lower deck. We plan to come back soon for a longer visit and to see what changes the other seasons bring. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your chalet with us!

My three children,, husband and I had a wonderful trip to Innsbrook. We have been to Innsbrook over 6 times in the past and this was by far our favorite chalet! It was very child friendly and felt upscale at the same time. Sarah was a pleasure to work with as she attended to every detail. Thank you!

Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway.

My family and I had a wonderful time here -- despite the fact that it snowed and our car didn't make it up the steep hill just before the chalet. Fortunately, we called the owner, Sarah, who was immediately responsive and called the maintenance guys to come and help out. It all worked out. Perhaps next time we'll try summertime. Our favorite part were all the deer we saw! That was great.

We had a great time in Innsbrook. The Chalet was nicer then we ever hoped and Sarah was a pleasure to work with. We did not not have to worry about a thing. We are looking forward to another trip next year.

Our 5 days at this Chalet passed too quickly. It was so beautiful, both inside and out. EVERYTHING you need is provided! Sarah Bernard was such a pleasant host!

It was a pleasure renting from the Bernards. The whole process was very easy and pleasant. The Chalet sits on a very nice lake in a beautiful resort. The home is so well stocked and well maintained. There were games for our kids as well as us. We loved the small touches like the paddleboat and fish food. Thanks for a great weekend away!

Just returned from a delightful two night fall foliage getaway. This chalet has all the modern amenities we desired and is surrounded by forest and sits on a lovely small lake. The owner provides everything for a comfortable, memorable respite from the busy world we left at home. We would definitely return. Beautiful, stone fireplace, big TV, thick plush towels, heavenly beds, dockside seating, quiet. It doesn't get any better than this.

I just wanted to send you a note and tell you how lovely your chalet is. While the weather was lousy and kept us from heading out, your chalet made our weekday getaway simply delightful. You have put together a lovely hideaway that is so warm and inviting. Thank you.

The Bernard's Chalet is absolutley beautiful. I had my mom's 50th b-day party there. I couldn't have picked a better place. Sarah Bernard is also more then helpful and friendly. Thank You!
