This property is a great get-a-way to have peace and quiet. It is on several acres of property, so it was perfect for our 3 dogs. It is a short 20 to 25 minute drive into town, which has lots of cute shops and restaurants. We would love to come back some time and bring our kids and grandkids. This place is very spacious for families. It is also on the river front, which is great for fishing!

Christmas Down by the River

Since our son moved to St. Louis last summer, we decided to spend Christmas week down there with him. The house was perfect for our vacation! We really appreciated that there was a Christmas tree and decorations throughout. The house had everything we needed and it was very comfortable. We enjoyed just watching the river flow. The house was only minutes from civilization, but yet very secluded and very, very quiet.

Beautiful views!

We had a blast at this property! It was the perfect space for our group. The views of the river were gorgeous and I loved being in our own little private area.
