The Nothing Vacation: Why Innsbrook Is Missouri’s Quietest Escape

What is a “Nothing Vacation”?

If you’ve ever caught yourself Googling “quiet places to vacation near me” or “calm weekend getaways close to St. Louis,” you’re already looking for what we call the Nothing Vacation. It’s the opposite of the jam-packed, minute-by-minute vacation schedule that leaves you more tired than when you left home.

A Nothing Vacation is about arriving somewhere peaceful, setting your bags down, and letting the hours flow without guilt or pressure. At Innsbrook Escapes, that philosophy comes to life.

Here, doing nothing isn’t a lack of activity — it’s the freedom to rest, reset, and choose only what matters to you.

Whether you’re here for a weekend or a week, the beaches add variety, energy, and that extra something to turn your getaway into a full-blown lakefront experience. Build sandcastles with the kids, catch a sunset paddle, or lounge with a book in the breeze. Why settle for one perfect view when you can have them all?
