Gorgeous Lake House! Sleeps 12, 5 BRs, 4 BAs!
Extremely helpful due to the situation on why we needed such a big house. House was clean, kept all the guests comfortable and able to stay busy with darts, pool table, and hot tub. Host always responded in a reasonable time.

Platypus Hills, Lake, Heated Pool, Hot tub,Firepit
Extremely friendly hosts that are easy to work with and nice, clean place that looked as advertised.

Haven on the Lake-Swim/Fishing Dock-8 Beds-2 Baths
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.

Tarvin's Yellow Submarine
Third time staying. It has exactly what we need in the location we need. Julie responds to questions quickly and the updates to the screened in porch are great!

Luxury Lake House: Stay French Lake
This house was perfect for our girls’ weekend. Plenty of comfortable spaces to hang out both inside and outside. Comfy beds. Overall very peaceful, which is exactly what we needed!

Lake Me Away
The place continues to be a peaceful retreat while visiting a chaotic family. We always check for this location first when planning a trip to the area.

Captain Quarter's Resort
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.

Entire House in House Springs
Our stay here was great! Dzenad was very responsive with any questions I had. It is so peaceful with the river practically in the backyard. I DEFINITELY recommend staying there if you get the chance.
Cottage rentals with a kayak

Cozy waterfront cottage
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!

Cedar Sunset On the Lake
The pictures don’t do this house justice. Beautiful views, comfortable and clean accommodations. We had everything we needed. Host was very responsive and kind. Thank you for allowing us to check in a bit early. It really helped after 3 long days of traveling.

Shagbark Landing
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.

Bonati-Bollwinkle Legacy Cabin 5
We would stay here again!

Quiet Lake House By the Beach
Very clean and welcoming. The kids loved fishing and playing board games. Over all I highly recommend this charming home.

Secluded Lakeside Lodge Minutes from St. Louis
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

Cozy 2 bedroom cottage with amazing lake view
Had such a great weekend with my friend, we watched movies in the beautiful living room and got to enjoy the beautiful view outside when it wasn’t pouring out. The home was very clean and provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Secluded Lakefront Cottage Perfect for Relaxation.
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. 😊
Cabin rentals with a kayak

Cozy Cabin in North Utica
Was a beautiful place to stay for the weekend. Definitely worth the visit!

Serene Cabin on the Mississippi River w/kayaking!
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!

70’s Park Side Cabin with Kayaks
Maddy’s place was perfect! Our trip was changed a few times due to work and Maddy was always so quick to help and adjust everything we needed. We will absolutely be staying again if we come back to the area!

Bear Trap Cabin on Lake
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 !!

4 Modern Lakeside Cabins/Hermann, MO
we had a great time at H&M retreats! We rented the entire property for a family gathering and it was perfect for our group. The main building is set up well for dining and hanging out and the cabins are cozy and well laid out. Everything was very clean and the property is very peaceful.

Beautiful & Secluded Cabin by Lake Thunderbird
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!

Morgan Creek Outpost
Carol’s cabin was amazing. It was beautiful, clean, and exactly what we wanted. I will definitely stay again when I’m back in the area. Highly recommend Carols cabin to anyone traveling in this area.

The Sunnyside is a unique 14x40 cabin by the water
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.
