2nd time staying here

This was our 2nd trip to this property. We enjoyed it so much last year we decided to come back. Great house! We like that there is a yard for our dog, everything you could ever need to cook a meal, a grill, an awesome deck with plenty of chairs to relax in and a nice firepit area. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful cabin in the heart of river country

Our stay at Rocky Bottom Ranch was absolutely perfect! We’ve stayed at many cabins for our river adventures & this one was by far the cleanest. It is conveniently located within minutes of river outfitters, state parks, restaurants, & shopping. The covered parking was a wonderful bonus. We’d recommend RBR to anyone & everyone!

Perfect getaway

This is the perfect place for a quiet family getaway. Our family loved the location and the cabin had everything we could have needed. Our kids had a blast playing in the creek outback as well as cooking smores over the fire in the fire pit. We also brought our four legged travel companion for the first time and the fenced yard was perfect to let him run and play. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We will definitely be back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Attractive cabin in a beautiful setting

The RBR was a brief but pleasant 2 night stop for our family of three. Our adult daughter gamely took the upper bunk in the diminutive children's room (probably not an option for most grownups), my husband and I took the queen bedroom and we were all comfortable. We did not try to use the sofa bed as it would have disrupted use of the sunny kitchen, dining and sitting room where it was located (our favorite space.) The shared shower was well laid out with new good quality fixtures, plenty of towels, toiletries,etc. The kitchen was particularly well stocked with supplies, cookware, snacks, nice extras that we really appreciated. We have canoed in the area before but decided to go to Rocky Falls this time. Fabulous! We can't comment on many of the cabin's listed amenities as we did not use them in our short stay. Did not turn on the TVs, play games, grill or build fires. Kudos to the wraparound covered porch where we relaxed and ate popsicles one afternoon. Our hosts were helpful and responsive to our question. All in all, a lovely rustic retreat

They Thought Of EVERYTHING!

This place was wonderful!!! So quiet and peaceful and super clean. I'm usually leery to go barefooted in places I stay, but this place was extra clean!! The house is loaded with indoor/outdoor games, children's dishes, laundry, pots, pans, margarita glasses, river towels, you name it, they have it. I was amazed at everything we found there. They even included a very thoughtful welcome basket!!!! The area was quiet and cozy and also conveniently located to Dollar General, without interfering with the cabin experience. Tons of outdoor seating for s'mores and enjoying morning coffee. The decorations are perfect and updated - my 13 year old loved it, inside and out. Emily went above and beyond with any questions we had and made check in a breeze. They also have a binder that includes places to see, eat, and bugs and wildlife in the area. I would definitely recommend them and would love to return. All of the extras made our trip a breeze! Thank you!!

Perfect cabin getaway

This cabin was PERFECT for us! Four adults and our doggos slept comfortably, played games, made waffles, grilled steaks, used the kayaks, and ran around in the fenced in yard over two days. The cabin was clean and stocked SO well. The communication was top notch, couldn’t have asked for better. There were only three adult life jackets for kayaking, so I’d maybe consider bringing your own, but that wasn’t a huge deal as there were youth ones and my mom is small 😂 honestly, so minimal in the grand scheme of the stay. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Adorable cabin with best location and amenities!

This cabin was located right on the edge of town across the street from a Dollar General, making it super convenient. However, it still has a very private feel and lots of outdoor space. The fenced in yard for our dog was such a perk. The owner is super responsive as well, which is so helpful. I am so glad I found this gem. I will definitely be booking with Russell Properties for my next Eminence stay! Highly recommend!

Amazing Porch and Close to Town

My family and I stayed for several days in honor of what would have been my dads 65th birthday. We couldn't have had a better time. The cabin is so charming and close to town for everything you could need. Although it's close to the road, there is minimal noise as it is pretty rural. We loved sitting on the wrap around deck watching the birds and listening to the whippoorwill's in the evening. The cabin has everything you could need - I would love to go there in the winter for that wood stove and a fresh snowfall! Emily was an excellent host and communicator. We would recommend her cabin every time!
