About the host

Hosted by Marti Poe

Host profile image

My husband and I are high school sweethearts, growing up in Kirkwood. I inherited my childhood small home in Kirkwood and this was the start of our first short term rental property. We love being able to provide housing to many people-usually in town to visit family, a sporting event or for themselves or a family member attending one of St. Louis' many hospitals.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a weekend getaway/retirement home for about 2 years. When we came upon this one we immediately fell in love. We enjoy kayaking, fishing on the lake, sunsets and just relaxing in the fresh air. This home is set in the middle of the countryside. We decided to make it another short term rental since we both work and are not able to enjoy it now with our work schedules.

What makes this property unique

Peace & quiet! Semi private 14 acre lake. Only 4 houses total share this lake. Bring your kayaks, canoes and fishing poles or just sit and relax and enjoy.
