This is truly a paradise for the most private of parties. Our home cannot even be found on MapQuest. They have the location wrong and so far have not fixed it! Lock the gate behind you and no one will enter unless you want them too! This home cannot be seen by the road and nobody knows you are here, but me! This is my private home and now that I am an empty nester I thought I would like to share it with others, so you can experience the beauty of nature and the unique architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright's teachings. Once you arrive you will not want to leave! Every day is a new day here with something different to see. I promise you, you won't be disappointed, you may not even want to leave!

Main Floor: dining - seats 8, kitchen - seats 6 at breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, sunken great room, laundry room, 2 bedrooms, a King lakeside and a smaller bedroom with a bunkbed - double on bottom and single on top, 1 1/2 bath, the large bathroom has sunken tub with hand held shower head the half bath is off of the dining area.

Second Floor: 3 bedrooms - 2 masters (1 king and 1 queen) the 3rd also a queen. 2 bathrooms 1 with 2 seated shower the other with large 2 person seated shower, double sink, and Jacuzzi tub.

There are so many things to offer one that stays here. It's large enough for a family gathering and personal enough for a private getaway!

Fully equipped kitchen, linens, beach towels, gas grill, 2 kayaks, and two pedal boats. Peacefulness, views, and nature, along with all the above!

* You will enjoy swimming (heated concrete pool 15x30), kayaking, pedal boating, fishing until your heart is content, hiking, barbecuing, or just relaxing and taking in all the views.

* Don't forget on a cool evening you can sit around the bonfire down at what we call the park area!

* Wineries are close by! Don't want to drive back, we will see if we can arrange a DD for you!

About Donna Long

This was our 4th home, we actually bought it to develop the property around the lake and once we moved here, in August 1995, we couldn't do it! With our children grown we thought why not allow others to enjoy this beauty, it's so peaceful and inspirational! The response was so great the first year, 2009, that I continued doing it after my husbands passing, October 2009. It warms my heart to know that so many people travel from all over the United States to meet family & friends here to create wonderful memories! I really enjoy meeting everyone and I hope to be doing this for many years to come!

Donna Long purchased this house in 1995
Why Donna Long chose St. Louis

This was our personal home where we raised our two children for 15 years! It's a private paradise that is relaxing, rejuvenating, very peaceful, and inspirational! I'm sure you will find it the same! We are close to Six Flags, Wine Country, and about 40-50 minutes to downtown St. Louis.

What makes this house unique

You will enjoy getting back to nature here. It is your own private resort to enjoy with your close personal friends and family! Swim in the pool or lake, kayak, pedal boat, enjoy the sounds of nature or the outdoor music, fish, hike, relax and watch the gold fish in the concrete pond,have a bonfire in your own private park by the lake and roast some marshmallows by the open fire while watching the moon dance across the lake - if your lucky it'll be a full moon - how romantic will that be? Best of all enjoy the architecture of this Frank Lloyd Wright home that was designed by one of his apprentices, Ralph Fournier and the previous owner.

Words can not begin to express the wonderful time my family had being together in your amazing home! Everything was perfect and the surroundings, breath taking! I don't believe I could have found anything more enjoyable and relaxing. We take with us so many great memories and pictures. Everyone is already hoping we do this again next year and make it a family tradition! Thanks for everything!

Well what can we say, but Ahhhhh. Even with 4 kids, Inlaws visiting another 4 kids, business associates, and all packed into one nice, relaxing and of course memorable stay; for the second year in a row. Everyone that came out was in awe. The only thing that would have made it better, yes you guessed it, a nanny. Just so we could have spent even more time relaxing. Love to you and your family Donna.

Donna,
We want to thank you for your hospitality and the use of your home. It met all our needs and more. The view was beautiful and the paddle boats were a big hit for the youth and the adults! We pray the Lord blesses you and your family in the days, months, and years to come.
John 14:1 – Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me.
John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you, I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
You can always find peace in Jesus!!!
God Bless.

Donna,
Spending the weekend at your Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home was amazing. Not only was the architecture of the home breath taking, the interior was warm and inviting. Our guest enjoyed all of the pleasure of the vacation home during our stay. We hope to stay here many more times!
Thanks again.
