The cabin is amazing and Rachel is a great hostess. The bed was comfortable, shower and tub were awesome, UTV trails to river were neat, and hot tub was nice after a long day of having fun. We hope to go back with our kids in the future!

Fall Family Getaway

Our family of four enjoyed every moment of our stay! It was so nice to connect with one another in the gorgeous cabin and land! We drove the ATV, roasted marshmallows around the fire, listened to music in the hot tub, went fishing, played catch in the field, and lounged in the hammock. What a fun, relaxing escape in this gorgeous property!

Very Relaxing!

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was quite relaxing. We found the house to be clean and accommodating for our needs. We spent time riding around in the UTV on the property and utilizing the canoe and paddleboards in the river. We spent the evenings by the fire and watching streamed movies. Both my teens said it was the perfect trip for resting.

Dad’s retreat

We were just for dad‘s getting away for the weekend and this place could not have been better. We are all from Springfield, Missouri only 25 minutes away, but felt like we were out in the middle of nowhere. We enjoyed the side-by-side, the hot tub, the fire pit, and all the other amenities . I’m reluctant to leave such a good review as I would like to keep this hidden gem hidden. But also feel like other should be made aware of it. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely check this spot out. It is absolutely stellar.

This is a great, secluded place to unwind with your family (especially children)!

We really enjoyed our stay and most especially enjoyed the feel of the cabin and the surroundings. It felt very secluded even though it is a short drive into Springfield. Both the adults and our four children (even our 1 year old) very much enjoyed the UTV rids along the trails and to the river. It was a great change of pace from our city life and we will always remember the time we had at the cabin.

An absolute amazing property

Me and my wife came for a thur-sun anniversary trip and we found this cabin and immediately said this is the one we fond the property to be so charming and quite, the inside of the cabin was done just perfectly done and is by far one of the most well stocked kitchens we have ever been in there was even a crokpot. The 2nd floor bed room and bath were so comfortable and relaxing, the fireplace was so cozy. The outdoor amenities is another shining point for this listing there is a wonder hottub hammock right off the covered porch and while too cold for us to use eith the canoes or kayaks its amazing that they are there for tou to use. We did make use of the utv to go down to the river and explore the teails on the property it was an absolute blast l. The hosts responed to any questions we may uave had or even to juct chat a bit a teully stand out place sto stay and with all the close by things to do it should be atvthe too of your list, dont miss out on this property.

Beautiful house in an awesome location. Feel like you are in the country but close to town. We enjoyed riding the trails on the side by side. Spent a lot of time in the river. Too hot to enjoy the hot tub. Will definitely be back.
