REDUCED TO SELL!!! With a storied past and a breathtaking riverfront setting, this one-of-a-kind property offers both historical charm and incredible potential. Originally built as a brothel for fur trappers and once frequented by infamous St. Louis mobsters, the Lodge is steeped in Missouri history. Ready for a new chapter, the property includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home—ideal for an on-site manager’s residence or rental unit—and a 12-bedroom, 12.5-bathroom main Lodge with endless possibilities.
The Lodge’s great room features an original two-story stone fireplace, perfect for gatherings, live music, or events. Previously, the upper level was used as a private residence with six bedroom suites, while the lower level was renovated for vacation rental use. With flexible design, the entire Lodge could be converted into 12 individual rental suites or boutique guest accommodations. Situated along a scenic float route just 6 miles from the Steelville public access, this riverside retreat is located in the heart of Missouri’s floating capital—just over an hour from St. Louis. The brand-new 20x100 deck offers the perfect place to take in unforgettable sunsets and river views. Ideal for use as a family retreat, corporate getaway, group lodging, wedding venue, or bed and breakfast, this property is ready for the next visionary to carry on its legacy. Showings by appointment only.
