Arch View Retreat Home:Pool-Hottub-Sauna-Wine-Breakfast

Our initial arrival to the property was smooth. The home is absolutely beautiful! There were a few snags that were disappointing such as the water dispenser/icemaker on the refrigerator had a red alert that the filter was outdated and that it needed to be changed. After I reached out to the owners asking if the water was safe, they said it was, even though it had the warning. As an infection preventionist, I know that this wasn’t true, and so I sanitized and cleaned the water dispenser as best as I could removing the gross slime that was attached to the dispenser. We decided to just purchase water. We should not have had to. I was disappointed that they actually said it was okay. The second area of concern was the pool/Jacuzzi. Even with the adverse weather, there was an opportunity for us to try to enjoy the pool only to find that it was rather disgusting, filled with bugs and lots of things. When I mentioned this to the owner, I was told that it was because of the storm that had recently come through. And that they had done a “blast“ on the pool/Jacuzzi. I am familiar with “blasts” which also let’s me wonder if they actually do clean the pool/Jacuzzi. However, they did send a person over to resterilize and clean the pool and we were able to use it later that evening. We were also welcomed by two dead birds on the upstairs patio, but that is just naturethe Lady owner Najah insultingly suggested that we could shorten our trip. Why say that?

The place was very beautiful my Sister was loved it as she was able to get great pictures while getting dressed for her Wedding day. We didnt get a chance to use the hot tub as it rained the night before the wedding. This will be one of my go to places whenever I am traveling to the Illinois/St louis area.

The host was extremely responsive and offered to assist immediately when we had issues arise. The house was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Fantastic stay! The host was so lovely to communicate with and answered any of my questions quickly. The welcome basket was so sweet and the hot tub was amazing!

Beautiful location. Host was quick to respond to an issue that came up during our stay. We would love to stay here again!

Great amenities, communication was great. Comfy couch and beds. Kitchen was great as well.

We enjoyed the house! There was more than enough room for all 6 of us. The hostess went above and beyond for us. We booked for my daughters sweet 16 and they helped with balloons, charcuteries and other treats to make sure she felts amazing on her birthday. We have a few issues and the hostess responded immediately and was right on top of everything. The hot tub was great, unfortunately the weather did not work out in our favor. Check in and check out was super easy and i would recommend the house when visiting St Louis!

The house was pleasant but also very disorganized. It had the feeling that someone was actively living there. The drawers were full of

The house is beautiful and we had a great family weekend. Thank you for the holiday decorations we enjoyed them all.

We were very pleased with the home. It was very well stocked and clean.

We were very pleased with this rental. There were so many extra touches from snacks and juice to comfy blankets. The owners were very attentive and even arranged for a masseuse to come to the house. The location is super close to the interstate for easy travels ( although you can hear the traffic)The home was clean and perfect for our sister weekend. Thank you!

The primary loft suite on this property is awesome! Incredibly comfortable king memory foam mattress, view of downtown from the porch, and a private lounge area to spread out. The bathroom is even better, with a double spa shower and a view of the garden and forest. Try it out with the softest bathrobes and a cup of coffee. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom on the main level, which is a crowd depending on the number of people staying. There's plenty of room to spread out into the main living area for hanging out, and having a full kitchen and fridge is always nice when staying for a few days. The relaxing space out on the main patio with the spa pool is perfect in nice weather or even better if you take a dip in the warm water, which was great after some busy days. (We didn't try the sauna downstairs because we weren't quite sure how it worked, but it sounded nice too.) We drove in to the St Louis Zoo (free!), City Museum, and various BBQ spots in 15-20 minutes every day. The location is right off a few highways, which makes transit to a lot of locations convenient, though there is nothing super close by - though the Dairy Haven is worth a try for classic soft serve custard.

We stayed here during our daughter’s wedding week, and it was absolutely perfect. The location couldn’t be beat—just minutes from downtown, Forest Park, the wedding venue—making everything so easy and stress-free. The house itself felt like a true home away from home, with thoughtful touches and special accommodations everywhere.The pool and spa were a wonderful way to unwind, and the master suite with its amazing tub and shower was pure luxury. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the fully stocked kitchen made meal prep simple and enjoyable. We especially loved the indoor/outdoor dining options, which gave us space to gather, relax, and celebrate together.This property exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It made a very special week even more memorable.

Great hosts! Very responsive and friendly.

2 friends and I stayed here for a golf weekend in STL area. The house was clean and very nice. The host gave us a box of golf balls to use; which was a very good touch. Beds were comfy and the hot tub/pool was much needed after 72 holes of golf in 2 days. The shower upstairs is great with many settings. Host was very responsive. Great view of The Arch and skyline.There’s no keypad lock on the door but there’s a lockbox attached to the house that has a code, so it’s still contactless entry. -There are curtains on the windows upstairs but they don’t cover the window in the walkout door; for obvious reasons. There are no blinds on the door window, so it tends to get bright in the morning. The door/window doesn’t face east, so it’s not direct sunlight. It wasn’t an issue for us since we were up early but you may need an eye cover if you wanted to sleep in. The 2 rooms on the main level were plenty dark for sleepy in it needed.The house felt like it had more space than the pictures make it look. If you’re in the STL area and want to be close to the city but not IN it, this is a fantastic option.

Fabulous home with an incredible view. We will be back!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The finishes throughout the home felt luxurious, and the private sauna & pool was the perfect way to relax after a day exploring St. Louis. The views of the Gateway Arch were absolutely breathtaking we enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine on the deck, soaking in the skyline. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high end experience nestled & tucked away

This hidden jewel was AMAZING! From the views to the amenities and this home was breathtaking! This is a super host. My family and I have stayed in several VRB homes and this host not only stayed in communication with me via email she called to make sure we had a comfortable night! IMPRESSIVE! I had the pleasure of meeting her in person and she was just as beautiful as her home. They provided us with fresh flowers and the absolute cutest welcome basket with yummy snacks! I would definitely refer this property to family and friends and my family will be returning

My family and I stayed in this beautiful home for a few nights while I was in town for a work event. The property is conveniently located a short drive away from numerous family attractions which made it easy for us to create some good memories. We loved the hot tub with a very nice view of St. Louis. The only downside we found was the lack of privacy the master suite had from the rest of the house.
