Micro house cabin located near Silver Mines Recreation Area.



Sometimes in the Ozarks, I think we are cursed by not having lots of industries, business, cities, and people., but when I sit on my porch, or around the campfire, listening to the various birds, frogs, cows, and coyotes, I think we are blessed not to have lots of industries, business, cities, and people.
If you are looking for a place to get away, relax, and enjoy a natural setting, this is a good place for that. We are located just one mile from the St. Francis river, Silver Mines Recreation Area, and Mark Twain National Forrest. We are close to places to hike, kayak, fish, and swim. There is an amazing antique store nearby too. There are restaurants in Fredericktown (7 miles away) and Ironton/Arcadia (16 miles). I am also learning about some places to mountain bike in the area.
I would like to tell you that we have lots of fine and luxurious amenities, but we don't, this is a very basic little place. It has a small bathroom with shower, a tiny furnished kitchen, charcoal grill, bbq tools (charcoal provided), electric heat, a/c, and a rancher style wood burning stove, if you want to make it extra cozy. There is a queen bed in the loft that is accessible through a very steep staircase, and a pull out futon that converts to a full size bed with a memory foam mattress for sleeping on the main level.
There is a campfire ring in the side yard. I supply some metal sticks for roasting wieners and marshmallows. These items along with some yard games, and charcoal are located in a small shed near the parking area. I supply some firewood, about the equivalent of a grocery store bundle or two per night of booking. I can sell you some additional firewood when you check in, there are also bundles of wood to be purchased at Silvermines Park/Recreation Area that is one mile from our property.
There is a fenced in yard, and a pet door. Your dog is welcome here. One of my friends brings her cat Cali, who really loves it here, and would stay on if she could.
Okay to let the kids tent camp in the yard. If you want to stay up all night, play loud music, and howl at the moon, there will be no one to complain, but don't be surprised if a coyote answers your call.
This is a micro house, if you are especially tall, claustrophobic, or just don't like small spaces, this may not be your preferred place. I like to think of it as easy camping, you don't have to deal with the tent, or bringing a lot of gear.
Please contact me if you like, I would be glad to answer any questions about the area, or the cabin.
I look forward to meeting you, or if you prefer contactless check in, that is fine too.

Best Regards, and happy trails. -Shirley

Perfect weekend getaway
The host was great at communicated both prior and with notes all over to explain things about the house. I think expectations are met. I thought the house was perfect. My husband thought the bathroom was small, but I thought the water pressure in the shower made up for everything. I'm an optimist. Very cute house. We spent most of our time hiking in the area. The host was also nice enough to provide info on trails nearby. Our dogs loved the yard. The front porch was nice to sit on and the morning sounds of cows was lovely. Oh and I have to say the easy check in and check out procedures is such a joy these days.

The Perfect Little Cabin
This place is perfect! Cleanliness: 10/10 Furnishings: 10/10 (that includes utensils and equipment in the kitchen and linens and toiletries in the bedroom and bathroom, respectively. Someone mentioned there being limited hot water. I'll just say it's the perfect amount if you wash your face in the sink and employ the water off whilst sudsing method. I came to this haven with my 60 lb doggo and she loved the yard so much! Shirley does a pretty good job spraying down the yard with eco-friendly pest/tick spray. A little tip: spraying your furbaby with Wondercide Flea & Tick before they go exploring helps ensure they'll be good to go -over 3 days I think I found maybe 2 to 3 ticks on her. This cabin is very much micro and no space is wasted. Whether you're up for takeout or want to make your own meals, there is a two range hot plate in microwave (no oven) grill and fire pit for all levels of experienced campers or novice glampers :-) and if you want to write or read a book on the porch, you can do that or stay in the cool downstairs living space while the door is open as the screen keeps the bugs out. I simply can't say too much about this little slice of Heaven. It's not fancy. It's not glamorous. It's perfect. If you're not sure, just a book it for a couple of nights and check it out. There is no shortage of outdoor activities to do in the area and Shirley will give you more ideas than you could possibly exhaust in just one stay. I'm sure you'll come back. I know I will!

My partner and I came here to celebrate his birthday for a few days/nights. The cabin was just what we wanted cozy, clean, cute and had AC! Not to mention our dogs had the best time being able to relax outside in the fenced in yard. I have recommended this lil cabin to all my friends!

From the moment you step out of your vehicle, you feel welcome here. The yard is amazing!! So many amenities and extra activities. The porch is fantastic. The cabin is so well thought out and stocked with necessities. I loved the tile floor and the wood ceilings. The fenced yard is a huge bonus if you travel with pets :) Thank you Shirley, we hope to come again soon!

Week Stay
We stayed in the micro house for a week with our two dogs. Everything was as expected and Shirley stocked extra towels, trash bags, and toilet paper for us. Ticks were bad, but they are bad everywhere right now so that was no surprise. Plenty of cookware provided for simple meals, as well as a grill, but I mostly just cooked over the fire. She also left us a helpful guide of the area with hikes and other activities, I recommended making the drive out to the Cave Winery.

Eclipse Stay
This was my second stay at this great micro cabin. Very close to outdoor activities and a perfect home base. Viewed the total eclipse at the Castor River Shut-ins. The eclipse was spectacular and it was nice to return to the cabin afterward rather than fight traffic. This cabin is small as advertised but has absolutely everything you need to enjoy time outdoors in a beautiful area.

Shirley thinks of lots of little things that make a stay away from home comfortable and fun! We love cooking on the wood burning stove and sitting around the fire pit. The new yard games were a blast too! The pups played for hours in the large yard and they loved the place too. Thank you again Shirley!

A nice retreat!
The propert manager was very welcoming and always answered any questions i had promptly. The location was secluded and peaceful. It has a fenced in yard so our sog got to run around for once instead of always being on a leash. Everything we could possibly need was available for use we just needed food. She even supplied marshmallows! The cabin was very clean and roomy enough to not be cramped. Our kid played on the stairwell often and had a blast as well with all the yard games that were available for use. We would love to come back in fall when its cooler outside so we can really enjoy a fire. Also plenty of places for amazing river experiences in the area!

This was a great little micro cabin. We didn’t mind the micro cabin’s size and we didn’t mind that there was no frills or fancy things. We wanted something close to many state parks that we could bring our dog to. This was perfect. We will definitely be back someday!
