We love to stay on a river, so looked around for something near St. Louis and this looked perfect. After a hot day of driving we were thrilled to walk into the house with the AC on, music playing, lights on, a bottle of wine on the table and fresh cookies on the counter. I have never had such a nice welcome to a VRBO - nice touches!
We enjoyed being on the river, but disappointed that it was almost too hot to sit on the porch (obviously no one's fault, just bad timing). However, it was fun to watch the barges go by and the house had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts live right next door, and we had a nice talk with their daughter and a visit from their dogs.
