Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay. The entire home was very comfortable, clean, and inviting. The hosts have thought of everything to be gracious and accommodating. Three of us traveled from Ohio to meet up with our adult son living in another part of MO. I wanted to make meals at the house and had such a wonderful kitchen with ample space and impressive kitchen appliances. An added bonus was the friendly goose who would come up to the house and visit with us when we were out back. We all felt very much at home the 3 nights we were there. Everything was great.

Perfect Country House for Holidays

If I could give this house more than 10 stars I would! It was beautifully decorated, very clean and had ample supplies. We stay in vacation rentals a couple times a year and this one was by far the best. The kitchen was fully stocked and included coffee, creamer, bottled water and snacks. The bathrooms had ample plush towels and extra supplies. They even supplied extra items in the Landry room. You don’t need to bring a lot like you do with other rentals. The property manager was very responsive. And the location was so beautiful with the pond and deck out back. Highly recommend for small groups!

Wonderful weekend visit

We had an enjoyable stay at this property. We prefer to prepare our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed, including plenty of counter space, to do just that! There is a coziness to the house, perfect size for any family. The view of the pond and gazebo from the kitchen window made washing dishes and food prep very memorable. The property mgt team was very responsive and flexible with our needs. We would definitely return to this house when our travels take us back to the area.

Great location

Came here for a mother/daughter weekend to shop in St. Charles and go to some wineries. Was a great location for that. The property was very clean and the house itself was great! I didn’t realize the property was on a lot with another house directly behind it, using the same driveway. I also was not impressed with the “backyard oasis.” There was a motor for the pond that was constantly running, the gazebo over the water had duck poop everywhere, and the pond itself was very lacking compared to the pictures online. There was a dog roaming around that belonged to the house on the same lot, although friendly, I feel should have been mentioned in the listing. It was a great location and in a nice area. There was an issue with the refrigerator while we were there and the property management group was quick in responding and fixing it.
