PRICE REDUCTION!! The riverside view alone is a Million Dollar view!!!! This Lodge was built to be a brothel for fur trappers and has a rich history, including famous St Louis mobsters. SO what is its best use? Well you have a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home and the 12 bedroom, 12.5 bathroom Lodge. The great room has beautiful original 2 story stone fireplace, great space for events, live music and dancing. The last use had the upstairs 6 bedroom suites for family and renovated 6 rooms on lower level for vacation rental. But could easily be 12 rental suites. From the lodge is an amazing 6 mile float to Steelville public access. Just over an hour to ST Louis and in the floating capital of MO. This is a perfect place to own as a family gathering place, a corporate retreat, a church or group activity or gathering place, a wedding venue, reunions, parties or any special event. There is not better place to watch the sunset than the new 20x100 deck. MUST HAVE APPOINTMENT TO SEE!!!!

This is an incredible opportunity for some lucky person or group to be able to purchase an incredible lodge with caretaker or manager's home on the beautiful clear flowing Meramec River. Known as the Meramec River Lodge this has been totally renovated over the last several years. There are now 12 nice overnight guest rooms each with their own full bath and kitchenette. The main floor has seating for about 200 people and is highlighted by a large 2 story stone fireplace. There are large decks overlooking the river and grounds. There is so much history and so much potential for a business to run as a B&B, a wedding venue, family or corporate retreat, reunions, church or any other activity that warrants an incredible building deep in history and with so much natural beauty. Located just about 10 minutes south of Cuba, MO and about an hour and fifteen minutes S.W of St. Louis. This area of Missouri is well known for its tourist destinations. This is being sold at an incredible price!
