Secluded farmhouse retreat - Meramec river access!

We really enjoyed our time as a family. The barn with the games was a big hit with the teenagers. JW gave us info for the rafting/kayaking outfitter and it was a beautiful place on the river to float along and enjoy ourselves. Very few others were in the same area. Easy access to the river and easy to find out take out point.The horseback riding was rated a success from those that went. We just didn't realize it was a bit of a drive to get to it but each rider prizes the horseshoe they were given. Four of us ventured to the local winery and Steelville Saturday afternoon. Absolutely AWESOME art gallery there with paintings done in the area recently for a competition. The CANOE "monument" in town is something to look for.We visited the ONONDAGA Cave after checking out. Having seen probably a couple of dozen caves around the US -- this one is most impressive.We stayed 3 nights and appreciate The Wright Brothers opening their doors to us!

Great place for our friend get-together and float trip!

Wonderful place. Just perfect for our cousins get away!

When we booked this house we booked it with the fact that there would be four families involved. Due to having four families we booked the barn apartment as well. According to the VRBO listing the barn apartment was supposed to have a double bed and a futon in it. (which would be acceptable for a family) Once we arrived we figured out that there were only two twin bunk beds in there (no double bed and no futon) twin bunk beds are definitely not ideal for a couple. The bunk beds sat directly on the ground with no gap in between the floor and the bed which made it easy access for bugs. The bunk beds also did not have a rail on the top which was a big no for us because my children toss and turn and I don't need them falling out of a bed that is five foot up in the air and landing on the concrete. Once we went to get into the beds (because we were just trying to make the best of the situation) We were upset to see that there was mouse poop under the pillow and under some of the sheets. I live out in the country so I totally understand that you will have mice and bugs, but I was under the impression that the bedding and linens would have all been washed the day were checking in (which is what should have happened) Again I get that out in the middle of no where you will have mice, but there is not way anyone thinks its acceptable to sleep in mouse poop. It would have been nice for the property manager to have made this right, but it didn't seem like it was thought to be a big deal.
