LoriRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My family rented the house for a couple of days for a quick family reunion. The house was great, had plenty of space for all of us. It had everything you could need and was well equipped. We are hoping to make this an annual event and this is our house of choice.

Captain Quarter's Resort

KelsieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was without a doubt one of the most luxurious and clean places we’ve stayed. It felt like ‘home away from home’. The host was very responsive and so thoughtful, even leaving a few gifts for our son. It was filled with lots to do. Every detail was thought out and it showed. We’ve already discussed when we can return next and can’t wait to recommend this stay to friends and family.

Cozy waterfront cottage

JessicaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Our stay was perfect! Alisa was an accommodating host and easy to communicate with. Her place is exactly what is pictured and is as described. My kids loved her DVD collection and we had a great time playing games — we were indoors mostly since the weather wasn’t cooperating for fishing. We felt completely comfortable!

Tammy's home was just as the pictures show it. Very clean. Well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful views. Lots of space. We watched deer and other wildlife. The wifi was slow, but we weren't trying to work. Vandalia is close with all the necessities. We even went into St. Louis a couple of days. Tammy was quick to respond when we had questions.
The living area features a Smart TV mounted above a stone electric fireplace. Comfortable seating includes a dark leather chair and a light-colored sofa. Natural light enters through large windows framed with wooden accents, illuminating the space decorated with greenery.

Secluded Lakeside Lodge Minutes from St. Louis

JoannRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
i loved this place. my australian terrier, mackay, and i stayed for 5 nights. there was a carport, which provided a great place to attach the cable i used to tie out mackay. although it rained a lot, i was able to soak in the wonderful hot tub between showers. the home was very comfortable. i especially enjoyed the enclosed porch where is set up my laptop, and watched birds on the lake. a great blue heron (i think) visited twice while i was watching the lake was also visited by a swan (also, i think). at first i wasn't sure if it was a swan or goose, but decided it was a swan because the neck was real long. wish i would have remembered a bird book and binoculars! thanks, kim and tony

Secluded Lakefront Cottage Perfect for Relaxation.

BlakeRating, 5 stars12 months ago
A very well done upgraded cozy clean cottage. Multiple sitting spaces for large groups. Tara is the best host you can ask for as she is very responsive to any questions. You basically have your own peninsula with tons of yard space. My wife liked birding and kayaking (extra fee for the kayaks… and wife) while I enjoyed the beach and fire pit area. The kitchen is well stocked. A lot of small details are thought through with this cottage including bathroom soaps, dishwasher and laundry detergent. The photos do not do the property justice. We hope to be welcomed back in the future. 😊

Serene Cabin on the Mississippi River w/kayaking!

EllenRating, 5 stars5 months ago
My husband and I have stayed in at least a dozen AirBNBs and this is one of our favorite ones. We will *definitely* be coming again! It felt like we were in a treehouse! I LOVE natural light so having all the windows to look out at all the beautiful fall colors was amazing. The handiwork and craftsmanship of the home is impeccable. So private and serene and still just 30 minutes away from the bustling city. I greatly appreciated how VERY clean it was! No complaints at all! :) thanks Debi and Matt!

Bear Trap Cabin on Lake

ChrisRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great location ! Located between Chicago and St. Louis so about a 3 hour drive to get peace and quiet. Cabin appears to be newly built and the place is SPOTLESS !! 10 minute drive to Walmart or Kroger or if you prefer get some local good eats !! Also plenty of Firewood for us city slickers :)... Has a smoker and a Blackstone griddle that are really good. Only thing if one prefers , bring a charcoal grill if allowed ..?? Place was awesome !! Thank you Jennifer and siblings. 5 STARS !! We'll be going back !!

Beautiful & Secluded Cabin by Lake Thunderbird

JohnRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This place was great. There isn’t much around here to do, especially in the winter, but we were looking to mostly disconnect from the outside world for a week and this was great for that. Aside from laundry there is really is everything you need to live here full time including a fully stocked kitchen with various helpful appliances like a crock pot and toaster stashed away but accessible. Perfect for a few days or a full week! It was a little dusty in some spots but otherwise clean and well kept. Had a great time. Hoping to come back when the weather is warmer and take advantage of the lake!

The Sunnyside is a unique 14x40 cabin by the water

AlexRating, 5 stars7 months ago
I felt right at home between the cozy cabin and the hospitality, you can't beat it!! This family is very warm and welcoming. It is by far the cutest airbnb I've ever stayed in, Gloria has it decorated very nice. My boyfriend and I loved it so much we decided to book 2 more stays with this host. Before I booked, I wasn't sure what to expect with the size of the cabin, but was pleasantly surprised with the layout. It is perfect and there's plenty of room for us two, our child and a big dog! 10/10 recommend.
