You'll find racquetball/squash on site at this family-friendly cottage. With convenient nearby parking, you'll be ready to make the 24-minute drive to St. Louis Zoo or the 14-minute drive to Mississippi River.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the balcony; you may also like the firepit and BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and video-game console.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a computer station, a fireplace, and air conditioning. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a coffee grinder. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
