Advertising was spot on. Hose was clean and well stock. Atmosphere and neighbors was super nice. Me and my wife really enjoyed our lil getaway. Its a perfect place to get away feom the hustle and bustle of the city. We will be back to this spot
We wanted to stay by the river and this is right on the river. We had Barge traffic in our front yard. It was really nice. The cabin was very nicely decorated and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wanted to stay longer. The Cookies were great! A nice touch was the wine and the chalk board welcome. Wonderful property owners makes it so comfort. Thanks for doing it right and exceeding our expectations!!!
This was a great stay, tucked away and cozy. It is soo much nicer in person; from the cute fuzzy welcoming committee to the fresh baked cookies , this was an absolute pleasure.
We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and homemade cookies. This home was warm and inviting. We had everything we needed and the sunrise over the river was just amazing. We will definitely book again.
We have stayed here twice now. This time to relax and see the eagles and they were easy to spot.It was super cold so we didn't walk Much. Might be back 1 daymucharound
My family loved staying at the house! my kids loved seeing the birds on the water and thought the hide-a-bed was the coolest thing ever! the view was beautiful and the cookies were the best we’ve ever had! The host was very helpful and very kind. We would definitely stay here again!
Very relaxing stay, the views from the big deck were amazing! The cabin was comfortable.
It was a great place to relax and enjoy some quiet time. Relaxing on the deck and enjoying looking out over the river with such an amazing view was the best!
Such a peaceful, quiet and cozy property. The view is beautiful and it is bright and clean. I absolutely loved my stay! The hosts are wonderful and accommodating.
My partner and I stayed here for my daughter’s wedding only 8 miles away. The location offered great access to the local small town of Winfield and all the amenities you would need, but 20 minutes are so from the city life of O’Fallon, MO. However, the river view and the short drive from Hwy, certainly made for a feel you were a peaceful and remote area. Hosts were amazing in communication and their hospittiall!
Mom said all she wanted was to stay at the house on the stilts for her birthday. We had a lovely stay. The wine and warm chocolate chip cookies are such a treat!
My wife and I really loved staying here. Good views of the river as well.
The chocolate chip cookies were off the hook amazing!
We will be staying here again in the future.
We love to stay on a river, so looked around for something near St. Louis and this looked perfect. After a hot day of driving we were thrilled to walk into the house with the AC on, music playing, lights on, a bottle of wine on the table and fresh cookies on the counter. I have never had such a nice welcome to a VRBO - nice touches!
We enjoyed being on the river, but disappointed that it was almost too hot to sit on the porch (obviously no one's fault, just bad timing). However, it was fun to watch the barges go by and the house had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts live right next door, and we had a nice talk with their daughter and a visit from their dogs.
This cozy cabin on stilts is right ON the Mississippi River and offers a great view of the Winfield Lock & Dam facility. We spent more time outside on the covered porch watching the river than we did inside. Our teenage girls spent more time inside and appreciated the comfy furniture, Dish Network, games and updated kitchen. Our animal lover also enjoyed the frequent visits from the neighborhood dogs. We had a wedding to attend in Old Monroe and Linus’s Cabin served us well. We all agreed that it was much better than a motel. IF we could have done anything different, we would have brought a fan for the porch and bedroom.
All amenities as described. Warm cookies on arrival was very nice. Clubhouse is in a great spot on the river. Lots to see. We totally enjoyed our stay and recommend to anyone looking for a getaway on the river. Thank you Jerry and family.
This space was perfect for us. It was very comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen has just about everything you need to cook. We really enjoyed the views of the river every morning.
The wine and cookies were a perfect start to our vacation at this comfortable, picturesque, quiet getaway. It was fun to see the pets, eagles, riverboats, river and enjoy a visit, firepit, and history of Linus' home. We look forward to next time and recommend this spot to all.
Awesome location on Mississippi River. Loved watching the lock and dam activity with barges. Home was beautiful and so comfortable. We will be going back again.
This was our second stay at the Linus Clubhouse. The location is awesome, feet from the river. Sitting on the deck watching the river and barges flow by. The area is so quiet. The house has everything you need.....even an alligator across the street !!! Lol.
You would be disappointed.
Enjoyed watching river traffic from the deck, sunrises and sunsets, listening to the birds, Olivia’s cookies.

About the host
Hosted by Jerry Eulentrop
My wife and I, along with our 6 children, live year-round right next door to this property. I grew up enjoying the recreational benefits of the river and we were able to purchase our current residence in 2006 and moved to our newly constructed home in 2010.
Why they chose this property
My father bought the property in 1954 and while our permanent home was in the northwest suburbs of St. Louis I grew up boating, skiing and fishing on the river. There is much history and many great stories (many actually true!) and when you come stay be sure to ask me for a few. In Linus's 60 years on this part of the river he became much beloved (by most anyway) and certainly left his mark on and in the river (as evidenced by a truck that is still sitting at the bottom of the river). We hope you'll forge indelible and fond memories as we share a place that holds innumerable memories for us.
What makes this property unique
There is something captivatingly tranquil about a large majestic body of water gently flowing by. It allows you to release a huge sigh, relax and let the cares of the world roll off. So, kick off your shoes and relax, or go out and cut loose on any of the many recreational activities the river affords. But come and enjoy a good time at Linus's Clubhouse!
