Nice and quiet place out away from it all. Between the lake and game barn, there was plenty to do for everyone. The hosts are very nice and were always helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

Rustic Get Away

Fishing was amazing. Rustic is accurate. If you want a getaway deep in the woods, this is the place for you. The lake is fully stocked, and the owners are very friendly. No washer and dryer, so take extra towels if you plan a long stay like we did. Pontoon boat was fun, and the kids loved the trampoline. The Smores were a nice gift waiting for us when we arrived.

Perfect for a Long Weekend!

We had a group of 7 stay at the property for an outdoorsy girls weekend and it was amazing! I would definitely recommend staying at least two nights, if only because it really is in the middle of nowhere and you've to take advantage of everything the place has to offer: canoes, SUP, pontoon (included and you take it out yourself), campfire, and trails on site. The one-shower situation can be dicey, but if you stay at the property - who cares? :) Dave & Rusty were extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Everyone in our group agreed that they would be keen to stay here again.

Rustic Getaway

3 moms and 6 kids under 12 wanted an adventure outside the typical city life! We sure found it! Once we arrived we were in awe of the beauty of the lake. The cabin was rustic and adorable. It had everything we needed for our stay. The lake was so clean and the dock was big and well taken care for. There was so much to do there. The kids loved jumping off the trampoline and the pontoon boat and the adults loved floating and paddle boarding. At night we enjoyed making smores on the bonfire and sitting out on the large deck. Dave and Rusty were the best hosts! So helpful and kind. They have a lovely property and we are thankful they shared it with us.

Like our own resort!

My family of 9 had such a great time at the amazing Happy Farm! It's the perfect place to relax and have fun. The property is secluded and really felt like we had our own resort! The super sweet owners have a separate house on the property, but we didn't really see them much. Being so secluded, and no wifi and spotty cell service, it was actually nice having them on the property in case anything were to happen. The only thing missing at the property is a washer/dryer, but that wouldn't stop us from coming again. So many amenities we enjoyed- pontoon boat, water trampoline, canoe, kayak, paddle board, pool table, ping pong table, darts, foosball, cards, corn hole, firepit, and hiking trails. Highly recommend!

Couldn't have had a better time!

The remote peacefulness of this location was amazing. Rustic isn't a valued word anymore. Wildly fun to sit on the patio of the cabin and just listen to nature and the rainfall, my gosh! We walked trails, played rounds of games in the gaming cabin. Swam and jumped off that pontoon a dozen or so times. The paddle boards were great too! We totally plan to go back and have already been making plans to see the Happy Farm family again!

Cabin getaway

Myself, fiance and our two dogs enjoy a cabin retronce a year. This year, we were fortunate enough to stay at Happy Farm. It was relaxation at its best and we enjoyed the smores they left us to make over the fire pit.

Pure relaxation

Our family of 7 had a very enjoyable stay! Stunning sunrises, so many opportunities for outdoor activities (running, paddling, swimming, kayaking, biking, fishing) and then stars at night that were some of the best I’ve seen. Simple and pure fun was had by our 5 teens. Watching them bike/paddle/offer to go grocery shopping to get their WiFi fix made us smile.

Amazing place to unplug!!

My friends and I stayed here for Labor Day Weekend and this was the best place we could've found. The owners were so nice and welcoming. There was tons to do in and out of the water. I cannot recommend this place more.

Awesome place for families

This place is amazing! The kids (ages 2-8) loved the game barn, water trampoline, canoes and kayaks. Our dogs loved roaming around the property. Everything is there for a campfire. There was enough to do that you don't need to leave the property. The owner is super helpful. The almond cake waiting for us was delicious! Definitely will be back!

Quiet, peaceful, secluded

We wanted a quiet secluded place to get away from our usual routine for a few days. The hosts were exceptional and delightfully shared the history of the log cabin and farm. We pontooned around the lake and enjoyed the trails through the woods. We were pleasantly surprised with the welcome treats.

Wonderful getaway!

Happy Farm was a perfect 3-day getaway for our family! Everything was so thoughtfully arranged, and the owners were very kind and accommodating. The cabin and Game Barn could not have been cuter. The lake was perfectly peaceful and clean, and the owners had a variety of boats and kayaks for us to use. Such an easy drive from St. Louis -- we'll be happy to return in different seasons!

Unique forested oasis in rural eastern Missoury

This is a place for those who love history and nature. Old cabin memorabilia is fascinating to read. The cabin itself looks like it came from a fairytale. All listed amenities are present. Owners are very nice and attentive. Private pond is large and lovely. The forested lot is huge, and the property trail system is expansive and fun to explore. I would highly recommend this place for nature lovers and families.

Relaxing getaway w/ recreation included

Whatever you like to do in water/nature, you can find it at Happy Farm! We were two adults, two teens, plus our dog, and we enjoyed: bonfires and s'mores, jumping on the water trampoline, fishing off the pontoon--caught a bass!, ping-pong and foosball in the game barn, floating on the rafts, driving the golf cart, watching wildlife--frogs and hummingbirds, reading on the swinging daybed outside, watching the NBA playoffs at night on the nice flat screen, and talking to David and Rusty and learning about the history of the local town, Advance, "Papa Doc," and the farm. One of the best things is everything is included! All we brought was some food, drinks, fishing stuff, beach towels, and sunscreen. It reminded me a little bit of summer camp as a kid--rustic but comfortable and inviting with lots to explore. A great, safe getaway!

Family getaway

Our 3-night stay at the Happy Farm was absolutely wonderful! The owners were very welcoming, and made us feel at home. We had a group of 7, from pre-teen to grandparents, and everyone found something they enjoyed. Jumping from the giant water trampoline and the upper deck of the pontoon boat were a big hit for everyone, as well as billiard tournaments in the game barn. We enjoyed the tranquil mornings for fishing, and family dinners on the cabin deck. We were looking for a getaway to safely spend time with family during this pandemic, and that's exactly what we got. We hope to make summer trips to the Happy Farm a tradition--what a gem!

Perfect family getaway

We stayed for 5 days without leaving the property and had plenty to keep us busy. Our kids loved the water trampoline, we all loved jumping off the roof of the boat, we caught lots of fish, enjoyed the game room, and spent lots of time just relaxing on the porch. Our dogs (who are city dwelling creatures) had the time of their life roaming the property. The hosts are hospitable, welcoming, and very helpful. We had a lovely time. We hope to come back next year.

This was an amazing place. Our family celebrated my daughters 7 birthday!

The property was beautiful and it was the perfect place to unwind and let the kids run free. The lake was perfect for swimming and the floating lake trampoline was a big hit. We had access to the golf cart, kayaks, canoe and pontoon boat. We would definitely be back. David and Rusty were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin was also stocked with just about everything you would need. Thank you David and Rusty for having us and sharing your home with us.

Secluded and Peaceful

We arrived at Happy Farm around 5 pm on a Thursday evening. The cabin was lit up for us... Warmly welcoming us into it’s beautiful 125 year old charm. We were able to unload all of our gear and the owner and ultimate host came out to introduce himself as well as tell us about the property and features. With 4 young boys and a 1 year old pup I was a little skeptical regarding comfort and space. The cabin offers modern amenities- a full kitchen, 1 1/2 bathrooms and plenty of sleeping space. While it was definitely a rustic getaway, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect couple of days. We went fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and just floated around on rafts. Perfect 💜
