I rented the Christmas House because it was very child friendly (8 and 11 year old). The backyard had plenty of room for running around and lots spots to hide eggs for our Easter Egg Hunt. We wished we could have utilized the putt-putt course but it was too windy. The basement with the air hockey table, arcade game, and television kept the kids busy when we were home. There were six of us and we had plenty of bedroom, living room, and kitchen table space. The kitchen looked fully stocked but we always are out so I can’t speak for it. John provided plenty of towels, bath mats, and even extra new toothbrushes ( my granddaughter forgot to pack hers). The house was convenient to all the places we wanted to see and easy to spot at night. We even enjoyed the walk across the street with the bridge and the spillway-the kids enjoyed skipping stones in the water. The only worry we had was from the kids-would the Easter Bunny come to a Christmas House?. Of course he will! If we ever come back to St. Louis we will definitely stay here again. Thanks John!!!
