A Haven of Heartland Enjoyment
From the famous Gateway Arch to zoos, amusement parks and more, St. Louis is chockfull of things to do for all ages. And there are plenty of hotels and resorts in and around the city, but few have that comfortable countryside feel that’s perfect for family downtime.
Our Timber Creek Resort at De Soto, less than an hour south in the town of De Soto, is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Laugh through five holes of par-3 golf together before exploring nearby Mark Twain National Forest. Add a little lake fishing at the resort, and you’ll be hooked.
