  • Welcome to Gateway Retreat STL — a one-of-a-kind group getaway where every room tells a St. Louis story.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was very clean, in a great location close to so many activities in St. Louis, and was perfect for our group with six teenagers. The finished basement was an awesome hangout space for the kids, giving them their own place to relax while the adults enjoyed the upstairs. The hosts were incredibly responsive, even sharing a well thought out booklet of suggested activities & restaurants, and made everything easy from start to finish. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home for anyone!
