Holiday house

We rented the property to be in the area for the holiday. The house had plenty of sleeping spaces and linens. The kids were enjoyed seeing the horses on the property.

Nice stay

Everything was amazing! Clean house and the beds were super comfortable. The only bugaboo would be the hot water, it took a long time and when it finally got hot it went away right away.

Family get-together

Our family get-together was very enjoyable at the "Rocking J Ranch". The owners Brian and Sue were very accommodating and hospitable. The picturesque views and interacting with the horses were highlights of our stay.

Fun Relaxing Stay with Family

We had a wonderful experience throughout our stay. The house was fully stocked and had everything we needed. The owners were incredibly kind and had great communication. We were in town for a wedding and this house fit everything we needed for the weekend. We would highly recommend this place and would stay again!

Hilltop retreat

Well manicured upscale property set in farm/ranch forested secluded area. Has a pond with a canoe and a small sandy beach. Pasture with horses. Our family enjoyed the surrounding metropolis as there are tons of things to do. Wonderful property! The next time we stay herewe will take it easier and ride the horses!

Family reunion

Really enjoyed the rural setting and lots of room to visit together and eat outside in the evenings. Galley kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals & snacks (but could have used a little more counter space). Owners lived in main floor of house above this basement setting, but noise was never an issue & they were just a phone call away to answer any questions. Had a great time!

Christmas Holiday Getaway

Our family (spouse, adult daughter, three grandkids, and myself) spent a week that included Christmas at the High Ridge home. The home is in a beautiful, hilly area close to St. Louis and it fit our needs perfectly. A very special part of our stay included the feeding of the horses that are on the grounds of the property. The grandkids loved this experience. The hosts were excellent.

Family get together

Property was well equipped with everything we needed and any additional requirements were met immediately by the owner. We stayed a week and never had any problems. The beds were all very comfy which was a huge plus for us. Overall, a great place to spend quality time with family and just relaxing around the fire pit. Thank you Susan for being such a great host.

Very scenic, relaxing

Very scenic, rural setting with a fire pit. Close to Six Flags, and 20/25 minutes to everything else. It is a basement apartment, with the owners living upstairs, but with its own entrance and yard area. There was a temporary problem with water pressure, but the owner fixed the problem quickly.

Great week-long stay with friends

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Rocking J Ranch. The house has enough space for 10 people (4 adults and 6 kids). The kids enjoyed petting and feeding the horses (with permission from the owners, Brian and Suzy). We experienced a four-hour county-wide power outage one night. Brian and Suzy were prompt with their response of multiple flashlights, lanterns, and candles. My son wanted to "go camping" and thanks to Brian and Suzy, we achieved it. Verizon cell reception is intermittent inside the house, but this was a blessing to keep us off our phones. We could simply walk outside if we needed to do something. I would recommend Rocking J to friends and family and will keep it in mind for a future visit to St. Louis.

Serene spot away from the city

Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay! It was a peaceful place to rest at the end of our busy days enjoying Saint Louis. It was easy to get to all the main attractions, and the place was cozy, nicely decorated and clean. The beds were terrific! The owners were so hospitable and communicated well. Our kids enjoyed watching the horses and jumped in the pond a couple times to swim. The reasons we didn't rate it a 5 was just that the basement wasn't set up perfectly for guests. There's no climate control for the space, it's dark (which is very typical for basements - we understand), you can hear every step made above so we knew when the owners went to bed and woke, waking us (which means I'm sure they can hear us as well), and while there's always hot water (which was terrific), there is very little water pressure. That all being said, it was a nice place to land and you just have to decide if any of the above matters to you.

Great property for a group

Nine of us stayed at this property for a weekend. It was great for our purposes. We were 4 adults and 5 kids. The kids stayed in the bedroom with 3 beds and the adults were in the other 2 bedrooms. The primary purpose of our visit was to hang out and enjoy each other' s company with a semi equidistance drive between Des Moines and Columbus, OH so the Barnwood & Tin Charmer fit the bill perfectly. The hosts are on site as it is the basement of the main house. There is some noise from upstairs which was the only real negative. The hosts are very helpful and brought a grill down for us. The unit had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, water pressure was decent for all those people, the kitchen was adequate and the linens were very nice. Nice outdoor space to eat. There is a bar inside but no table for eating so a large group in bad weather probably wouldnt't be ideal. The setting is idyllic and very pretty.

This was a great little getaway on the outskirts of St. Louis. Just a quick drive to the St. Louis Zoo and etc but outside of the city enough to be quiet and cozy.
