Interesting, rustic space. Good for Mizzou football games & big groups!

Stayed here with 6 people for a Mizzou football game. Was definitely a different retro-feeling space, eclectic with the attached buildings but worked for what we needed it to. Had a little communication mishap with the cleaning person and our early arrival, but the host Tim was easy to & quick to communicate. Distance didn't feel far from Mizzou where we drove mostly, located very close off the highway. We enjoyed going to Artichoke Annie's during our stay. Outdated and some bedrooms/bathrooms need some replacements/maintenance but like I said, worked with what we needed for a football weekend with a bigger group.

Soozi’s wrestling crew.

There were 5 families that rented this house. We had infants teens and adults. There was plenty of room to spread out. The teens and adults loved the pool table. The only problem with the kitchen was the can opener That is now on my list to travel with. Plenty of parking. Not fancy but very comfortable. We are already planning another trip next Feb.

Good For Big Groups

We had a nice stay. Everyone had their own spot. The deck was nice to sit on as we had nice weather. The pool table was nice as well. I liked that there were two bedrooms to the left of the living room right when you walked in and also an accessible shower. For a person who has knee issues, it was nice not to have to climb into a tub for showering. While I know it goes with the decoration of the cabinet self, the six small stools around the “kitchen table” (which consist of three small tables lined up) would be difficult if there were older people or people with leg issues as they are small and low to the ground.

Not what you think

Pictures on the website are not realistic of what you receive. If you like mold, mildew, stains, dirt, burnt out bulbs, dirty toilets, stained carpeting, stained linoleum, bird flop on tables, unclean air vents, bad smells, this is your place. I have this very well documented unfortunately you cannot post pics in feedback.

Think twice

The lower level flooded twice during a 4 night stay. Per owner, blamed on female personal products being flushed. Not our issue during our stay. Lighting didn't work in dining room or family room. Most window cranks were broken so couldn't open windows. If crank worked, no screen. Bed still broken per previous review so not usable. Informed grill was usable. No tank of gas available but owner replaced when asked. Grill and area needed cleaning. Halloween candy found by grill...May rental! Possitives..7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, not all usable. Needs updates and MAINTENANCE!

Inaccurate Photo Depiction

The photos of this place were beautiful! What we received was not. Musty rooms, ripped up sheets, broken drawers in the kitchen, filthy kitchen sink, old couches, dirty bathrooms, showers towels that smelled of smoke…I could go on. I came for a conference with 15 of my students, my husband, our daughter, and a co-sponsor and was left disappointed and quite frankly, pissed off. I paid a lot of money for junk, don’t stay here, find somewhere else where the property is accurately describe and managed appropriately.

Football Weekend

Property is about 10+ minutes outside of Columbia. Property manager was accommodating and arranged for us to check in 1 hour early. Definitely more affordable than a hotel for a large group on a football weekend.

College reunion-Mizzou Homecoming

We needed multiple rooms for a college reunion. Space was great for variety of sleeping arrangements. Kitchen space worked good for feeding crowds. Location was close enough to Columbia to easily get to the game. Property is a little tired and run down but very clean. Had a problem with one bed that had a broken box spring. And the coffee pot was only a 4-cup pot...not big enough for a crowd.

Experienced bed bugs and an inconsiderate owner

This was the second time I stayed at the lodge, and was extremely disappointed with the condition of the place as well as the consideration of the owner for his customers. I woke up one morning covered in bed bug bites. we had to go and purchase several hundred dollars worth of items to take care of this situation so our group didn't bring the bugs home. We asked for compensation and were ignored. I believe this place has great potential but unfortunately its not being taken care of to live up to its potential. I will not be back.

Great Communication

Owner was very readily available when I had questions. He responded very quickly to emails and even personally called me to discuss. The place is right off of 70 but you don't hear the traffic. There is not a lot of traffic around the immediate location which we loved. We had so much room for our family to spread out, cook meals, and even watch TV. Having a service animal, the owner was very accommodating to having him there. Very cute lodge theming with huge potential.
