Exploring Missouri

Ahead of a move to the greater St Louis area, I visited to start to prepare and get a feel for the neighborhoods. Grateful to have met the Eulentrop family and the wonderful, kind people of Winfield. Highly recommend this.

Loved our stay at Linus' Clubhouse on the river! It was so cozy, clean, with a great view. It was fully equipped with everything we needed and had plenty of board games for enjoyment. We enjoyed sitting out on the front balcony watching boats go by and we did some fishing as well along the bank. Nearby you can by some bait, go to a grocery store, and try a local place called Market Grill for breakfast. There is also Cuivre State Park nearby if you would like to do some hiking that we enjoyed. The homeowners provided great hospitality and were very nice and had nice warming touches for our family upon arrival. We loved and devoured the freshly baked cookies and husband and I enjoyed the wine gift provided as well. If you are looking for a great relaxaing getaway for the family this is a great place to stay and look forward to staying here again in the near future.

It was a a very relaxing experience. A good view of the Mississippi River everything you could possibly want in a rental house complete with all the kitchen stuff you would need for cooking. Beautifully decorated and spacious. There is a nice cafe and a coffee shop , grocery store and gas station. There is two flights of stairs to go up to get to the house.

Peaceful and great views!

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!

A Relaxing Holiday

We stayed over New Year's and this property ticked off every box. Quiet, comfortable and beautiful location, on the edge of the Mississippi River. A highlight was the chance to see several bald eagles flying right past us over the river. Thanks for a great stay.

Wonderful Stay

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and right on the river. Made for beautiful sun rises. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of anything one could imagine. The location if close to St. Charles and St. Louis so although the cabin is pretty secluded it is close to many things to do. I definitely recommend this cabin.

A terrific weekend getaway!

This river home is a hoot. It is across from the Winfield ferry and just downstream from the the lock and dam. The river views are amazing. Jerry and Wendy are wonderful hosts who live right next door and they know how to make you feel at home.

MS River traffic goes by here

We booked this property to see the Mississippi river traffic through the lock and dam. Wow! It was amazing to see the barge/tow traffic so close to the house. The deck gives a great vantage point for viewing. We would like to return on a future vaca and we want to stay longer next time. It was great!

A house on stilts looking at water? Yes, thanks! Enjoyed the space, the view, the warm cookies and easy jazz music playing upon arrival. Host Jerry was very communicative and helpful, including trying to make sure Internet connection worked well for a Zoom yoga class I was scheduled to teach. The place was definitely cozy and cute.

Relaxing perch above the Mississippi

We had a relaxing time at Linus' Clubhouse watching the barges and boat traffic. The rental sits high above the water. We visited St. Louis Botanical Gardens and The Hill for Italian food. We took a day trip to Grafton Harbor by way of the car ferry in St. Charles. The host provides quick responses. Thanks for sharing your property.

Beautiful!

Our family consciously looks for views of nature around the area in which we stay, and this house did not disappoint! Waking up to the Mississippi River never got old, and watching the barges pass through was super cool too. The interior was very well-maintained and clean, with a beautiful kitchen, neat bedroom and bathroom, and even had games which the kids enjoyed. We got to meet Jerry and his family who were very pleasant, and Nathaniel baked us the most amazing coffee cake, which my family finished within a day! All in all, we were very happy with our stay and would like to come back without a doubt.

Mississippi Get-away

We had a great time watching the barges on the Mississippi, but even better was watching them go through the Lock and Dam (#25) that was just a short distance to the north of our porch view. We spotted an eagle surveying the waters, blue herons, geese, swallows, and a string of pelicans--all from the deck. The house was clean and nicely furnished. It could use an upgrade in a few areas, but we spent most of our time on the deck so it was not really a concern. We even got a bouquet of flowers to add to our anniversary dinner table!😊

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Eulentrop

Host profile image
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!
