Timber Creek Resort at De SotoRental Guest Reviews

Great price for the stay

Overall we were very happy with the villa and all property activities offered. However, we were on the ground level and the room had spiders/cobwebs in the rooms and in the bathroom. I am not a fan of spiders so I felt like the room had not been fully swept down. We would have preferred to be in the middle level.

4 day getaway

The resort was somewhat remote and away from the bustle of St Louis. The location was greate for hiking in the nearby parks only 15-30 minutes from the resort. The lake, pool, mini golf, and clubhouse were great for the kids. Overall a nice rural getaway.

Refrigerator problems

We complained about our fridge not keeping things cold enough. It took until Wednesday to get them to finally replace the fridge with another one. The fridge didn't keep anything cooled and we had to use the freezer as the fridge because the freezer wasn't freezing anything and was not making ice cubes.

Staff is the best!!

This is an older property that has been remodeled to today. But it's the staff that makes this resort! Mr. B the activities director really makes it the "resort" experience. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and made our stay relaxing. They all went the extra mile to make sure the resort was sanitized and we felt safe even in this crazy time of restrictions.

Awesome property and personnel

Well kept and enjoyable establishment. Only less than positive part of the stay was the delayed check in nearly impacting our timeline to arrive at our concert destination. We waited over 2 hours past published check in time to get access to our room; we were given access to the pool area to bide our time.

Timber Creek

It was a lovely stay. The rooms we clean and well stocked with things we needed. The only request I would have for the villa is more trash bags and towels available. We had a six person villa with 4 towels for showering. The only issue we had was the gentleman working the activity counter. It seemed like he didn’t want to be there, he was a bit rude and lazy, and always left early so we couldn’t turn in our item we borrowed. It was a situation where you could tell he didn’t want to do more than he had to.

Relaxing and great service

The rooms and entire complex were extremely clean. The staff was so accommodating, friendly and kind. The mini golf was so much fun for the kids. Loved walking the paved walkway along the lake. Very impressed with the Kitchen and all the home conveniences. Very roomy. Enjoyed hanging out on the patio at night and drinking coffe and watching the bunnies in the early morning hours. We will definitely return.

They're not prepared to open.

They did call me to let me know they did not have a life guard which is why they didn't open the pool. Though when we visited there was no signage or indication at the pool mentioning they ever had a lifeguard in the first place. We've stayed at other hotels which had bigger pools which did not have a lifeguard. Unfortunately, they did inform us they could not rent any of their boats. The pool and the boats were the two reasons for being there. Thought is was rude, they charged 25 cents for a cup of water, ridiculous. The playground was closed, though it's outside and likely kill any germs with the heat and sun, but the fitness room was open. The fitness room needs to remove their nautilus equipment. The pulleys and weights on the nautilus equipment have not been maintained and is old and rusty. The rubber has peeled off the pulley wires showing rub areas on the wire and the weights are rusty and overall not clean and lubricated. The master bedroom needs an updated shower option.
