Absolutely beautiful place. Unfortunately we're approaching our seventies and the 22 steps going up was a little rough. Other than that we had a blast but that's not her problem it's ours LOL

Wonderful Stay!
What a beautiful place! We had such a great time and thank you for having this perfect t get away away from the city, but close enough to get to the city! Only suggestion is to have a check-out checklist as well as some recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area.

I am glad you enjoyed the house. Thank you so much for the suggestion. I have been putting together a list of things to do in the area and hope to have it in the house soon. We have a check in book that is supposed to be in the house but we have pulled it for updates. I really should have left it until the rest was ready to go and then swap it out.
Thanks again for staying in our home.

Great time
Had a great time in St. Louis; house was everything we expected. everything in good working order, plenty of room, property was very clean!
It was super good, you spend a super vacation I loved the area, the house was super clean and comfortable, the place is super quiet, you spend a super quiet vacation, thanks
We had a hiccup initially with our stay but the owner was very accommodating. She was communicative and worked everything out with us. The property is beautiful and was very spacious. Would definitely reccomend this place!
Great location and beautiful accommodations (inside and out)
This space was perfect for a short spring break adventure with the kids. Everything was clean and Heidi was a great host. Easy to communicate with and accommodating. The roaming chickens and horses as a backdrop delighted the younger kids, and we were only a 20 minute drive from STL adventures.

I am so glad you enjoyed our home. Next time you come back you will have to have some of our fresh eggs.
Our family stayed for 3 days so my wife could visit her family and most memorable locations as a child. The home was clean, welcoming and located near everything we came to see and do. The home is located in a neighborhood with all new, beautiful homes surrounding a lake. We enjoyed the outdoor covered deck, lake views and breezes. We would recommend this location to anyone.

Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed our home. We would love to have you back.
15 minutes from gateway center in Collinsville, IL. Very nice neighborhood with a beautiful lake that is filled with fish, turtles, and ducks that our kids loved. We enjoyed the comfortable beds.
Everyone was extremely helpful and kind that we interacted with as it related to the space and neighborhood. Everything was extremely clean and stocked with needed items. Thankful that we were able to bring our dogs and it was a great environment inside and outside for them as well. Thanks!
We stayed in the house for a week while our house nearby was being renovated. Overall the stay was pretty good, but we did have a few issues. We requested early entry (which was not expected) but they didn't send us the door code until 10 minutes after the regular entry time. The grill had a huge bird's nest inside of it. This was communicated to the owner, they sent someone to clean it, but it still didn't really work, so they sent the handy man to replace some parts, which got it working but it was still totally rusty and the deck was covered in droppings from the previous occupants of the grill. Also, we never got any notice from the owner when the cleaners and handyman showed up, and because of the layout of the house there is no privacy when they are working on the deck. There were many other small maintenance issues with the house and the furniture. I don't want to be totally negative. The kitchen is good for cooking, etc. The shower is nice. We enjoyed hanging out in the living room watching TV. Having morning coffee on the deck was really nice. The beds were comfortable. The stairs are mentioned in the pictures, but they are more than a normal staircase.

My husband and I love to travel. We developed the subdivision around the property. We have stopped building new homes and have begun working toward buying other vacation rentals in the areas we like to visit.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property because we fell in love with it and to raise our family. We looked everywhere for 10 acres for our family and this is what we found.
What makes this property unique
