One of the best VRBO’s I have stayed in! The condo was tastefully decorated, and immaculate. The views were stunning and we had fun times out the pool. Michelle is an incredibly responsive post.

Perfect spot outside the hustle and bustle of the city

Had a wonderful visit. Weather was hot. Pool was perfect. Had fun at the alpine coaster and sky lift. Pere Marquette park was lovely we ate at the lodge. I other folks in same building were going to arch and then six flags. We all wound up at the ball park

Good location, Cute Place

We stayed here last year for the Jersey County Fair, and then again this year. This stay demonstrated a decline in the cleaning quality (hair in the shower, next to the vanity, ants on the dining room table, etc). The place is adorable and we love staying, here, but it could use an good deep clean. They were having pool issues (not the condo or owner's fault, but still disappointing, as this is the primary reason we rent this condo). The filter/skimmer wasn't working, so we skimmed bugs off the pool for about 45 minutes before swimming. At least it was open, as neighbors said it had been closed during the month of June. Fortunately it was open for us. Again, not huge issues, but issues that prevent a full 5-star review. The owner is very sweet and we would stay again.

We booked for our annual boat trip to Grafton. Two couples, plenty of room but still very cozy. Amazing view and excellent exercise if you want to walk the hill! Owners were proactive in making sure we were informed and had everything ready for the stay! Highly recommended especially if visiting Grafton as a boater and keeping your boat in the marina!

Grafton getaway

We wanted an adventure getaway; zip lines, alpine slides, atv adventure tour and then onto St Charles, MO for renting e-bikes to ride the Katy Trail. Walking distance to Skyway, approx 1/2 mile car ride to car ferry to scoot over to St Charles. Great location and if you’re in shape or up for the personal challenge the walk up the hill after visiting the restaurants on main drag

Perfect weekend getaway with girlfriends

The condo was very clean and comfortable. We had plenty of room. Location was close to everything we wanted to do. We got lots of exercise in walking up and down the hill several times which was a bonus for my group of active ladies. A few girls really enjoyed the pool. We watched a mama deer and her baby walk through the back yard. We really enjoyed it all. Highly recommend!
