Enjoy a grand Gateway getaway with a cabin stay near the Lou.
The Gateway Arch may frame views of the skyscrapers in downtown St. Louis, but head a bit out of the city and campers will find a number of private cabin rentals that provide a serene contrast of farm animals and scenic woodlands, showcasing a different slice of the Show-Me State. You're unlikely to believe you're within a short drive of one of Missouri's largest cities and its museums once you're at a cabin rental, winter chalet, or vacation rental near town. Log cabins can be rented at several private RV parks nearby, while a number of forested, secluded cabin rentals with unique amenities also surround the big city. Campers can also cross over into Illinois to find some cabins in Horseshoe Lake State Park and Pere Marquette State Park, both prime areas for hiking, biking, and exploring. Cabin amenities vary, with some of the best St. Louis cabins offering free wifi, bunk beds, heating, and air conditioning, and others providing a more primitive experience.
