THE CABIN

Cold running water flows in the kitchen sink located in the hand built screened in porch and also in the outdoor shower - perfect for cleaning up after a long summer's day of hiking trails or biking on the Katy Trail.

The indoor living space consists in a queen bed and convertible sofa or futon for seating or an additional sleeping place if you want to bring friends (max 4).
OUTDOOR KITCHEN
The outdoor kitchen (on the screened-in porch) includes a gas range for cooking and making morning coffee, and comes equipped with utensils, pots, pans, dish ware, etc.
FRONT PATIO
The front patio overlooks the incredible 170 acre farm and Missouri river bottom and affords great views of sunsets, sunrises, stars, and in the right season, lightning bugs!!
BATHROOM
The half bath is a clean and comfy outhouse. The property boasts many delicate ecosystems that are thriving thanks to being fully organic and untouched by chemicals for over 40 years.
OUTDOOR COLD SHOWER
We jhave an outdoor shower for your convenience. NOTE: COLD WATER ONLY. It's not glamorous by any means, but it works! You can also swim in the pond or nearby beautiful Hart Creek to cool down or rinse off. We provide towels! (PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The shower is not available during the winter due to freezing temperatures that make the shower inoperable.)
WILDLIFE
Warmer months you'll surely encounter some of the resident tree frogs, birds, peregrine falcon, bald eagles, worms, Gary the groundhog, possums, snakes, armadillos, insects, dragon flies, bumblebees, lightning bugs, deer, wild flowers, trees, grass, turtles, fish and celebrity Justin Beaver.
SWIMMING POND
We have a swimming pond nearby with a little beach.
FISHING
We also invite you to fish in our pond. You are welcome to keep and eat any fish that you like, with the exception of all bass under 12 inches. Please be sure to release these until they get to breeding age in order to help us ensure the healthiness of our pond. Anything larger than 13 inches is all yours!
ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS
We have another cabin on the property that sleeps 2, and a farmhouse that sleeps 6. Please inquiry if you'd like to make a family or friends trip to the farm!
NOTE: This is comfortable glamping, and the cabin sits on 177 acres of nature. It might be hot. It might be cold. In the summertime there will be bugs, including ticks on the trails. We provide some bug spray, but bring your own to help. The outdoor kitchen is well equipped but rustic. It is thoroughly cleaned after each guest's stay; but since it is OUTDOORS, it may show signs of outdoor exposure, including dust. Please come with reasonable expectations so you will have a delightful stay!
