Stayed here with the groomsmen from my brothers wedding.
Was a great, peaceful place to come back to each night after a few chaotic days.
Would stay here again!
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.
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.
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.
Lovely setting! We enjoyed a campfire the first night and it was so relaxing. Close to many activities, with plenty of fun for everyone. Hosts were very friendly and answered questions right away.
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!
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!
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.

This was a great place to stay. It was quiet and was perfect for our group. The property was well maintained and accurate to the listing. I would definitely book again.
We were in town for a wedding and this property was wonderful for us all to stary together. The owners were very friendlt and had so much knowledge to share with us of the area and their property. 10/10 reccomend staying here!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful countryside home. The area was quiet and peaceful, but still very convenient—Walmart and other stores were just a short drive away.We stayed in the lower level of the house, which had a cozy, rustic feel and plenty of space for everyone. It had everything we needed, and everything was clean and comfortable.Communication with the property manager was great—very friendly and quick to respond.Overall, it was a relaxing and easy stay. We'd definitely come back and recommend it to others!
I did not stay at the house. However I was told the house worked out great for the guys that were in my son’s wedding. I appreciate the acceptance of my son’s dog on short notice .
We had a wonderful time here and the horses were a highlight. The hosts couldn’t have been better the only thing I can say is the shower has no water pressure but it is definitely worth a stay regardless!
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!
Our stay was very enjoyable. We enjoyed visiting the horses on the property and making use of the patio and fireplace area. Rental was clean and well kept and included all the necessities. If we needed anything, Brian was quick to help. Glad we chose this property?!
