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

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
