Why they chose this property

Wake up to peaceful views of a private lake surrounded by mature trees, where the sounds of birds, frogs, and rustling leaves replace traffic and city noise. Whether you're enjoying coffee in the three seasons room, soaking in the hot tub as the sun sets over the water, or gathering around the fire pit under the stars, the setting is designed for relaxation.

One of the things we love most is that you feel miles away from everything, yet you're only about 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis. Guests can spend the day exploring local breweries, restaurants, parks, and attractions, then return to the quiet of the lake. It's the perfect balance of convenience, privacy, and nature.

What makes this property unique

What truly makes our property unique is the feeling of being welcomed into a place that people genuinely enjoy sharing. This isn't a vacation rental in a crowded subdivision. It's a home on a family-owned property where guests can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the outdoors. From watching deer wander through the woods to sipping coffee while mist rises off the lake, every stay feels a little different.

We also strive to provide the little touches that make a getaway memorable, whether that's relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring, roasting marshmallows around the fire, or bringing your dog along so the whole family can enjoy the experience together. Many guests tell us it's the peace and sense of escape they remember most long after they've gone home.
