Nice people but not as listed. Close to St. Louis.
This is a beautiful wedding venue, though not a resort (as listed).It is a working horse ranch with beautiful and friendly animals.The accomodations would have been fine for a weekend but a week was a bit long.This is the owners' basement.Damp, spiders, crickets, mosquitos, and we heard every footfall above. All heat and AC is controlled by the owner above.When the owners were gone the dogs barked about every 3-5 seconds until they returned.White noise did not help.Privacy felt non-existent.When we arrived we went to check in only to find our accomodations occupied by a wedding party.I contacted the owner who apologized and told us to come back later.I said we'd go to dinner and come back.We didn't hear anything for 2 hours.I checked again and he apologized again.No offers of a refund of any kind for the delay.At the end of the stay we were asked to check out early for another wedding and start laundry.The listing indicated a king size bed but it was really two twin beds pushed together and covered with king size sheets.There was no dining room table as indicated, there was a bar to eat at and several vanity tables that could accommodate a person or two.The pond was not swimming quality water. Fish were small bass and bluegill.The creek contains geodes but also water moccasins.There was an old kayak available.Certainly not clean:Hair in the shower, glass on floor, makeup on counters, cobwebs, dirty dishes, teapot full of old coffee, broken bathroom door (he offer to repair).
