Family Reunion

Our 2nd Annual. Cousins loved the venue/lake/Devon so much they want to keep coming back every year. Wendy & Ken are such great hosts. They make it easy and have worked hard to anticipate any need. I'd give them more than 5 starts if I could!

Great indoor and outdoor entertainment for most ages. A few cosmetic updates needed.

5 days, 14 people ranging in age from 3 to 64. The space was perfect. Some cosmetic refreshing needed with peeling paint on some ceilings. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. Plenty of space to spread out or come together. Fully stocked other than food. Best vacation we have ever had.

Family trip

It was a great space to meet up with our 3 kids and their families, all from different states! Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and hang out spaces for everyone. Loved the large dining room table with plenty of seats and the out door eating area was amazing too. Delighted by the welcome bag and all the toiletries provided. Really had a great time down at the lake and in the hot tub. We enjoyed the games and just being together. Thanks!

Great place for large family

We had a wonderful stay. Plenty of room for our family group of 13 people ages 15. Great space for an active family to gather inside and out to play cards, pool, darts, corn hole, and paddleboard. Nice to enjoy the beautiful weather on the deck and cooking/eating in the outdoor kitchen. Quick response from host on questions. Hope to return for our next son's graduation.

Super accommodations!!

This was probably the best house I have rented. There were plenty of beds and rooms. The kitchen was stocked amazingly! We cooked all our meals-including a Thanksgiving dinner! The bathrooms had all the things you may have forgotten to bring. The dock was fun to fish from. Just a super wonderful house. The hosts were very responsive with all my questions, and information I didn’t know I needed! Highly recommended!!

Great weekend friend trip

Me and my friends stayed here for 3 nights and loved the house. The easy access to the lake was great. The pontoon boat available to rent is well worth the money as it is a very nice and newer boat. House was clean and much larger than it looks in the photos. Will definitely consider staying here again for our next lakehouse trip!

This property had everything we could ever need and much more. The hosts were incredibly generous with extras in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. There is so much space inside and out that our large group had plenty of room to gather together or break off on our own. And we would highly recommend renting the pontoon boat. What a great way to spend the day. We will definitely be back again!

Sans one Family Reunion

18 cousins gathered for a reunion with our 93 year old aunt for the first time in over two decades. Although only eight people stayed at the house, it was the perfect gathering spot for our large group. The deck, the dock, inside, outside - so much room to visit in small or large groups. And all the special extras Kenn and Wendy provided were above and beyond. They were attentive, responsive, and had gone the extra mile to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. We’re coming back again next year. I highly recommend this Lake House. It is 10+ + + +!

Celebrate Grandpa's birthday

The house was amazing, with beautiful views, and plenty for space for 7 grandchildren and 8 adults. The cooking and bathroom supplies were greatly appreciated. ☺️ The location was perfect for the children's zoo and museum with having 7 children 5 and under. The kids loved running around in the grass, some canoed with dad, playing the games, eating outside, and seeing the geese, ducks, and the boats. They all want to go back again so we can take the big boat. Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home to celebrate my husband's 75th birthday with all our children and grandchildren.

An Incredible Home in the Perfect Location

Ken and Wendy have made their property into the perfect Vrbo. The locale is great- the lake is gorgeous to gaze upon, Decatur is barely a two-hour drive from nearby St. Louis, and the setup of the house is AMAZING for big groups of friends/families. All the bedrooms are upstairs, which is perfect for those who want to sleep in, and all the living and recreation spaces are downstairs, so people can always keep the fun and games going. Additionally, something I cannot understate is how fun the hot tub was- especially since it was right next to the kitchen and dry bar. Amenity-wise- Ken and Wendy have stocked the home with absolutely everything you could possibly need. We found every bathroom item we could possibly need, as well as a stocked first-aid kit and TONS of towels. Wi-fi information is all over the place (which stops your pesky friends from constantly asking about it) and TVs are in every room, making sure that everyone (especially the kids) can stay entertained and relaxed. There's plenty of parking space, and the patio in the back is nothing if not picturesque. Finally- the communication and understanding shown by Ken and Wendy as hosts was nothing short of perfect. They were on top of things with punctuality and empathy. I have never said that a vacation rental was perfect, but I will be breaking that streak here. This home was truly the perfect location for the perfect weekend. I heartily recommend it for anyone looking, and I hope to stay here again.
