House had everything we needed! The kitchen was well stocked with all cooking & serving needs. Living room has beautiful views and was cozy. The furniture was a bit hard (too firm) but other than that it was wonderful. Master bed was sooo comfortable! Easy walk down to the dock - not too steep. Fire pit was great! A very relaxing, much needed long weekend. Would definitely rent this one again!

Loved it! We used the canoe, paddle boat, paddle board, kayak, fished off the dock, seam, bought a few cheap tubes at the local store. We had too much fun relaxing and enjoying the cabin to check out the trails or pool, next time though! Nice wooded lot with a few neighbors around the lake. No complaints from any of the teens either. We’ll definitely be back!

The chalet was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the cabin, and it had plenty of space for our family of 4. And the fire pit and watercraft were a great time. Highly recommend!

Group of 4 stayed Thursday - Sunday. Very peaceful and quiet on Thursday and Friday - just us and 2 other houses had occupants. On Saturday almost every house filled up, so it was a little crazy late morning/afternoon, but was nice and quiet again around dinnertime.
The property was nicely maintained, clean, kitchen well-stocked, etc. All of the firepit chairs were broken unfortunately - they need to be replaced. The water bikes pictured in the posting are not allowed to be used either. There was a small kayak, paddleboard, paddle boat, and canoe - all of which got good use. The neighbor let us borrow their water bike to play on so that was really nice of them! The master bedroom on the first floor is large, but they do not have curtains covering the top windows - so be prepared to wake up at 6am every day.
The beach area is VERY VERY steep. It was fine for us, but I think a small child would accidentally roll into the water like a boulder if they were trying to play on the sand. It made getting the boats/kayaks in and out a bit difficult.
None of the above things were detrimental to our short vacation weekend. We had a great time and would recommend the property to anyone looking to rent. This is the second time that we've stayed in a property from this property manager and we really like their houses.

Overall a wonderful trip. Loved innsbrook. So impressed with the amenities and grounds
Our chalet was so charming. Beds were very comfortable. Lake access was great. Water was shut off when we arrived but management responded quickly and problem resolved in minutes. Several outdoor chairs were broken which meant we had to drag chairs off the deck to waterfront and fire pit.

Really enjoyed fishing off the dock. Location was nice and secluded, but still only an hour from St. Louis with lots of things to do. Chalet was nice and spacious and the layout worked well for our family. We enjoyed our stay!

Delightful, rustic A-frame with modern amenities
We enjoyed the stay very much. The layout and size of the cabin would easily accommodate 6. The deck and lake view were lovely, as was the fire pit. Having readily available paddle boards, a canoe, and paddle boat made for some healthy exercise options in addition to hiking/walking and swimming.
There some issues with the water heater in the master bathroom that got replaced on a Saturday, but running out of hot water Friday night wasn't fun. The management team was quick to respond and the handyman was pleasant, but it did take several hours for him to replace the water heater, and it was somewhat inconvenient to have someone in-and-out of the house over the course of 3-5 hours. And, perhaps more importantly, the master bedroom was quite a bit cooler than anywhere in the house. I would suggest management find a way to direct more warm air into the master, or get insulated windows/ sliding door and curtains. My wife and i kept the master br door open to let in the warmer air at the expense of our privacy.
The property had some fallen trees (I suppose that comes with the territory) and the gutters need to be replaced, but those didn't actually affect our comfort and needs.
Lastly, I would have liked to have had some cooking oil and ketchup in the pantry. As it turned out, it was snowing when we arrived and getting in and out was semi-treacherous with first iced, winding roads that turned to a muddy and/ or cement-like muck. Getting in and out would likely be problematic in such conditions without AWD or 4-wheel drive.
I think it was a good place for a rustic winter cabin stay, but I bet this place would be awesome in the summer.

We stayed at this property with my family, including two teenage boys, and my parents came out to visit us for the day. The cabin was plenty big for 6 people. The cabin was well-stocked with everything you might need for a weekend away, including a canoe, sit-in kayak, and a sit-on-top kayak. The dock was an excellent place for fishing and we caught lots of fish just using worms for bait, including blue-gill, sun fish, crappie, and some small bass. The fire pit was a nice place for the family to gather at night and check out the stars. Inside, the cabin was very clean and comfortable. Air conditioning worked great during a hot August weekend. The kitchen was well-stocked. WiFi and internet TV helped the boys keep connected. The property and the Innsbrook resort were a nice escape from the busy city. You will see lots of deer and other wildlife, so drive carefully. We had a great visit and we would come again.

Very beautiful and peaceful
The house and lake were lovely. Location is on the edge of the resort so is a bit of a drive to pool, golf, beaches etc. We enjoyed just hanging around at the house using the kayaks and canoe, fire pit, provided board games etc. would definitely stay here again

We had an absolute wonderful time at this property. Kids enjoyed fishing every day (and catching plenty of fish), paddle-boards, kayak's, and swimming. It rained for a large portion of the trip but we still had an absolute blast. Made me want to look into purchasing a place at Innsbrook!
The unit itself was extremely accommodating, just a really stunning property. We were able to check in early for a small fee but totally worth it in my opinion. Also, the communication with the staff leading up to the trip was fantastic service! Would highly recommend to anyone!

The chalet was very nice with a well stocked kitchen and very clean. The management company was organized and had good communication throughout rental process. The house was larger than we needed for 4 people, but we chose it over some less expensive options since it was on a decent size lake and offered several watercraft. It was great that our older kids were able to spend time on the water. We all enjoyed trying the paddleboard in addition to the canoe, kayak, and paddleboat. The huge deck and fire pit area were great and where we spent most of the time. It was a very peaceful weekend. Thank you for being a pet-friendly rental as well--our little dog was so happy to spend time with us at the lake.

Some friends and I wanted to have a girls weekend but one where we could just kick back and relax. This was the perfect place. So serene and the chalet had everything we needed. We are already talking about making it an annual thing.

Fantastic place and setting. Very well equipped with everything you would need. Due in part to the time of year, we had the lake to ourselves.

My family had a good time. Everything was provided to have fun at a lake cottage. The only exceptions were some of the cooking ware was dirty, and you don't ask a tenant to accomplish tasks you are charging for.

The Cardinal Lake Cottage was perfect for our family of five. It had everything we needed for a little winter getaway. We had never been to Innsbrook before and will definitely be back again. The cottage was very clean and we were able to be comfortable, enjoy the outdoors in the snow and stay warm indoors.
