#### Cousins Vacation
We loved our stay at Deborah & Mikes place, Retro Ranch. It had every amenities we needed and the pool was a great bonus. The girls had a great time and the adults did also. It was a great location with really good restaurants. The Shopping Outlet was 10 miles away. The Arch was 25 minutes do everything was convenient. We had 4 adults and 4 teens and the house was great for us.

#### Family vacation
Property was a good choice outside of the city. Lots of room to spead out. Downside. Mid century modern furniture is not comfortable ans living room could use more seating. Older property, so some maintenance is needed, but clean with lots of towels, bedding, etc. Hosts response time was literally within minutes after contacting them

We had my daughters bridesmaids stay at the house for the week while we prepared for their wedding. Everything went off perfectly. My daughter took them over to check them in and was blown away by all the little details she had thought of. Since this was where the girls were staying they referred to it as Barbie's Dream House. they loved all the little touches and they raved about it all week. Than you so much going well above and beyond!

#### Indoor pool saved vacation
My husband and I took our 5 grandkids (and 3 of their parents) to St Louis for Spring Break. We chose St Louis because it was a reasonable drive with a lot to do around the city. It poured down rain the whole time we were there but, having the pool to come back to after an excursion made everything better. Not to mention the vast supply of “retro” toys. The kids were never bored. Deborah also went out of her way to leave small gifts for each of our grandkids to enjoy when they arrived. She was also on top of all communication if a problem arose and fixed it. We would recommend Retro Ranch to any group , but especially to families with younger kids!

#### Host set-up and communication was outstanding, as usual for her.
Everything was simply wonderful. It would take many words too describe the pleasure and enjoyment that my granddaughter had with the house use for her 5th birthday. Her 7 children family & friends guest were overjoyed and their parents enjoyed the house too. My 5 year old granddaughter said “It was the best Birthday party ever!” And that’s what I wanted to hear. We’ll back for other family and business gatherings.

We chose the VRBO based on size and location. For those reasons, it was an excellent choice. Plenty of room, plenty of bathrooms, and plenty of hot water for us all. Pool was a nice bonus, with sauna, and laundry. All was clean and ready to go upon arrival. We were about 5 minutes fromMy parents’ house, and had access to everything Ballwin has to offer.

We were pleasantly surprised by the size and roominess of the house. We had 10 people there and we had plenty of space. We did not have to go to the store for anything other than food. Everything was there!! Contact with the host was very quick. The only thing we would change would be warmer water for adults in the pool. The kids got in but it was a little cool for the old people lol. Thank you again. Beautiful home.
