Just perfect

We wanted to stay by the river and this is right on the river. We had Barge traffic in our front yard. It was really nice. The cabin was very nicely decorated and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wanted to stay longer. The Cookies were great! A nice touch was the wine and the chalk board welcome. Wonderful property owners makes it so comfort. Thanks for doing it right and exceeding our expectations!!!

Peaceful and great views!

My partner and I stayed here for my daughter’s wedding only 8 miles away. The location offered great access to the local small town of Winfield and all the amenities you would need, but 20 minutes are so from the city life of O’Fallon, MO. However, the river view and the short drive from Hwy, certainly made for a feel you were a peaceful and remote area. Hosts were amazing in communication and their hospittiall!

Fun stay on the water

We love to stay on a river, so looked around for something near St. Louis and this looked perfect. After a hot day of driving we were thrilled to walk into the house with the AC on, music playing, lights on, a bottle of wine on the table and fresh cookies on the counter. I have never had such a nice welcome to a VRBO - nice touches! We enjoyed being on the river, but disappointed that it was almost too hot to sit on the porch (obviously no one's fault, just bad timing). However, it was fun to watch the barges go by and the house had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts live right next door, and we had a nice talk with their daughter and a visit from their dogs.

River watching up close and personal!

This cozy cabin on stilts is right ON the Mississippi River and offers a great view of the Winfield Lock & Dam facility. We spent more time outside on the covered porch watching the river than we did inside. Our teenage girls spent more time inside and appreciated the comfy furniture, Dish Network, games and updated kitchen. Our animal lover also enjoyed the frequent visits from the neighborhood dogs. We had a wedding to attend in Old Monroe and Linus’s Cabin served us well. We all agreed that it was much better than a motel. IF we could have done anything different, we would have brought a fan for the porch and bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Eulentrop

Host profile image
My wife and I, along with our 6 children, live year-round right next door to this property. I grew up enjoying the recreational benefits of the river and we were able to purchase our current residence in 2006 and moved to our newly constructed home in 2010.

Why they chose this property

My father bought the property in 1954 and while our permanent home was in the northwest suburbs of St. Louis I grew up boating, skiing and fishing on the river. There is much history and many great stories (many actually true!) and when you come stay be sure to ask me for a few. In Linus's 60 years on this part of the river he became much beloved (by most anyway) and certainly left his mark on and in the river (as evidenced by a truck that is still sitting at the bottom of the river). We hope you'll forge indelible and fond memories as we share a place that holds innumerable memories for us.

What makes this property unique

There is something captivatingly tranquil about a large majestic body of water gently flowing by. It allows you to release a huge sigh, relax and let the cares of the world roll off. So, kick off your shoes and relax, or go out and cut loose on any of the many recreational activities the river affords. But come and enjoy a good time at Linus's Clubhouse!
