Charming with beautiful view!

House had everything we needed! The kitchen was well stocked with all cooking & serving needs. Living room has beautiful views and was cozy. The furniture was a bit hard (too firm) but other than that it was wonderful. Master bed was sooo comfortable! Easy walk down to the dock - not too steep. Fire pit was great! A very relaxing, much needed long weekend. Would definitely rent this one again!

Long weekend

Loved it! We used the canoe, paddle boat, paddle board, kayak, fished off the dock, seam, bought a few cheap tubes at the local store. We had too much fun relaxing and enjoying the cabin to check out the trails or pool, next time though! Nice wooded lot with a few neighbors around the lake. No complaints from any of the teens either. We’ll definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Bernard

I live in St. Louis County with my three children and love that we can easily get to our Innsbrook house in an hour, door-to-door, for a getaway weekend or sometimes for just a night. We purchased our first property at Innsbrook in 2005 and moved in for summer fun in 2006. We love going to Innsbrook as much as we can! We spend our days swimming in the lake, feeding the huge catfish that come to our dock, picking lots of berries, grilling steaks and exploring the woods. We absolutely love our time at Innsbrook and are anxious for everyone to experience how wonderful it is. No one has yet to come away less than enthusiastic!

Why they chose this property

Innsbrook is a world away from the busy suburban life that we live most of the time. When you pass through the main gate at Innsbrook, you feel like you've traveled across the country to a unique destination. It's a peaceful getaway, full of family fun, yet such an incredibly easy escape. We bought this chalet in 2008 to use as a vacation rental so we can share everything we love about Innsbrook with others -- old friends and new friends alike.

What makes this property unique

We love to bike the many roads (& hills!) of Innsbrook on early summer mornings. The kids love to fish off the dock all year and they spend hours in the summertime in the water -- swimming, floating, sailing. (They've even been known to break through the ice in the wintertime in the kayak). The wildlife is incredible -- not a day goes by when we don't see deer, bluebirds, woodpeckers, owls. It's a huge treat to see the animals to close to us. We also love the simple life that Innsbrook offers -- the orchards nearby, tiny Harmony Church, the friendliness of all the staff, the country store for ice cream, the farmer's market for homemade bread and fresh produce. We have explored it all -- golf, tennis, the basketball courts, all the beaches, the running trails, the outdoor movies. We love sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee or glass of wine just taking it all in; total relaxation.
