About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Smith
Rich and I have been happily married for nearly 30 years. We have two grown children: McKenzie, a nurse at Vanderbilt, and Cameron, who played lacrosse at Lindenwood University (also known as Lion House) and is now a sales leader at an AI company. Our family loves the great outdoors and cherishes the time we spend together.
We fell in love with St. Charles the moment we visited; it immediately felt like home. When we're not enjoying our time at the Lion House, we are often in Indianapolis. We find ourselves here frequently, and it brings us immense joy to share the Lion House with you!

Why they chose this property
Built in 1930, this home retains much of its original charm while offering many modern amenities. The Lion House can accommodate up to six guests across two bedrooms (a king bedroom upstairs and a queen bedroom on the main level) and an ultra-comfy sleeper sofa on the main level. With two baths, luxurious accommodations, and superb services, we ensure an unforgettable stay.
What makes this property unique
In the summer, the backyard is adorned with string lights and features a Wicker/Rattan 6-person seating group with cushions and a table. The garage is stocked with lawn games, including bags and a giant colorful Jenga, as well as a gas grill.
