About this house rental

Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation, family reunion or retreat in this new (2016), fully-furnished, 7 bedroom/4 bath home built on private property bordering the Meramec River with a large, private, easy to access, beautiful gravel bar. The 3500SF home sleeps 22 and provides an upper-level and a lower level each with its own kitchen, laundry room, dining and living areas, and outdoor sitting space.

No extra fees for "additional guests", firewood use, gravel bar access, etc.

Guests conveniently enter onto the property through an automated gate with digital keypad without having to exit the car. The motorized gate automatically closes behind the vehicle for additional security. The gate opens automatically when exiting the property.

Nestled beautifully in the woods, a private 1/2-mile gravel driveway takes you past the spacious house and down to a large, beautiful and private gravel bar on the Meramec River. The house sits roughly 1/4-mile from the gate entrance and a 1/4-mile to the private spacious gravel bar on the Meramec River.

Guests can enjoy an afternoon of fishing or relaxing on the gravel bar and later sit by a bonfire or watch the sunset from more than 500 sq. ft. of covered deck. Free firewood provided to guests (for bonfire area only). A local floating venue can be arranged to come and pickup your group for a 7-mile float trip where you finish right at our gravel bar. They will then come get the canoes, kayaks or rafts and you just walk up to the house.

The upper level has a Master Suite with a king-sized bed, Jacuzzi tub, separate shower and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms on the upper level are furnished with queen-sized beds and share a full bathroom. The lower-level has one bedroom with a king-sized bed, while the three remaining bedrooms are furnished with queen-sized beds. There are two full bathrooms on the lower level. The upper level living room has two queen-sized sofa sleepers while the lover level living room has one queen-sized sofa sleeper and a full-on-full bunk bed. All bedroom mattresses are new, Dr. Greene Sleep System Hadley Acres Super Pillow Top. The house is also furnished with linens & bath towels.

Both kitchens are fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, deep sinks, gas cooktop stoves, dishwashers and refrigerators (with water and ice dispensers). Both kitchens are also fully equipped with pots/pans, dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, knife sets, cutting boards, outdoor grilling tools, casserole dishes, serving bowls, crockpots, blenders, mixers, coffee pots, dishtowels/washcloths, fire extinguishers, and first-aid kits.

I’ve been looking at this property for a couple of years and usually wait too late to get a summer weekend! This year I booked early but still the weekends were pretty full! We had a 3 day family reunion with about 20 people. The set up of this house made it seem never too crowded. Having 2 fully stocked kitchens and 3 coffee pots was awesome! The way the bedrooms are situated there are 2 bedrooms with a bathroom in between. The large dining table on the deck and kitchen was great! We had Garrison’s pick us up for a float trip and we floated back to our private gravel bar! Loved everything about this property and hope to return soon! Also great communication with the host!

We go floating 2-3 times a year, mostly at the Niangua and Buffalo. However, this location, house, and river just became my favorite place to float. The private river access was amazing! The outfitter literally picked us up from the house and we floated right back to our house. The house itself is beautiful! It’s large enough for a big group and has several bathrooms available. It feels like a home that is being shared versus a rental, if that makes sense.

Great house, so clean! I loved everything about this house. The appliances were first rate. The beds were so comfortable, each one of my kids and daughter in laws raved about the mattress
