My wife really liked the rustic feel of the place and was impressed with how clean it was at the same time. For me, it felt like a retirement property that I’d had for years, it was very welcoming. We didn’t take advantage of the water (kayaks, fishing, etc..) but we had friends over and used the grill to cook. We’d take our dogs outside in the back of the house and there was never any problem. The point of this stay was to visit friends, watch old movies, relax, and do some studying, it was a great choice.

Stunning Property

For a group of empty nesters, a girls trip has a different meaning than it does when you're in your 20s and 30s. This place gives you a chance to relax, let loose a little, get out of your comfort zone a little, fish, go kayaking, and spend some well deserved time together.

Quiet lake near St. Louis

Our preteen/teen enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Parents and Grandparents enjoyed morning coffee on the screen porch while watching plethora of birds and deer. Very close to St. Louis attractions.

Nice getaway spot!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The pond setting is peaceful - spent most of our time just sitting out near the water reading/journaling/relaxing. Even caught a few fish! The location is closer to a road than we expected, but it didn't cause any issues. It's also within 15-20 minute drive of many restaurants which we appreciated. Would certainly consider staying again!

Short getaway

My husband just wanted to get away for a few days with the dogs to fish and relax. The house is very nice and clean, the hot tub was amazing. We met Kim , one of the owners and she was very friendly and very helpful. We would definitely stay there again. Five out of five stars for everything.

Secluded hideaway, great fishing

My best friend of 50 years and I spent four days at this lovely house. The hosts were wonderful; answered any questions we had very promptly. We are both in our 70s and the stairs were more of a challenge than I had anticipated from the pictures, but we managed. The house is lovely, the grounds are great and the fishing was awesome. We would definitely recommend this or a quiet getaway, especially if you like to fish.

Back in time

Loved all the Knotty Pine . My grandma lived on this lake and this was her brother in laws home and his wife. He was wonderful with carpentry, even made grandfather clocks. Not much had changed. Well the hot tub wasn't there a nice plus. Loved the wood stove on screened in patio. Heard owls and coyotes. They had lots of holiday decor which made it very festive. And owners very very nice.

The lodge at pine lake was a delightful place to stay while visiting St.Louis. We loved having such a quiet, peaceful place to spend our evenings. So many fun things to do at the property- we loved the hot tub and kayaks! Tony and Kim were friendly, helpful hosts!

Amazing Place To Stay

This place was amazing! When looking into renting a hotel room for 5 of us to stay we came across this little piece of amazingness. Beautiful property and the owners were so nice. There was so much to do and they were VERY accommodating. I couldn't say enough good things about this place and have already recommended it to freinds to book for their stay at the end of the month.
