My mother in law and I traveled here from Nebraska and stayed for 4 nights and had a fabulous time! The house was clean and decorated adorably. The size was perfect for us, we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. We spent a lot of time on the deck and around the spacious fire pit. We fit a ton of activities during our short trip. A few fun things that we did in the area: kayaked down the Jack Forks river (crystal clear and out favorite part of the trip), Bonne Terre boat tour in the mines (Amazing!), Johnson Shut ins (Go to this, absolutely breathtaking, we swam all morning!), Elephant Rocks hiking (stunning views, easy hiking trail), Pilot Knob battle site (go if you are a history buff, great visitor center), shopping in Caledonia just up the road (tiny town with a ton of shopping!) Cave Winery in Ste. Genevieve (unique experience and fresh baked pizza) Crown winery (Live music on Saturdays) & Chaumette Winery (#1 rated winery restaurant in the country by USA Today) If you are thinking about travelling to the area, DO! The locals were so nice and there is a ton to see. Be prepared to potentially not have cell service traveling around but we did have service at the house which was a bonus. Hope to come back someday!
