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.

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.

Wonderful time!
Very nice small cabin on beautiful property. Very wet and rainy weather during our stay made some of the trails impassable and the river flooded over its banks, so we had no luck fishing. The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. Our sons are 3, 6, 8, and 11. If they were any older there would not be enough room. Kids really enjoyed the hot tub and we made s’mores by the fire pit every night. Very nice place to stay, it’s close to a medium sized city so everything you need is nearby but it feels like you are way out in the country. We used this place as a launching point for trips into Springfield, Branson, and KC. Would recommend for small groups.

Peaceful Retreat!
Very beautiful, clean, bright cabin nestled in the woods. The perfect blend of cozy and high end! We enjoyed every aspect of this little gem! Our host, Rachel, was so responsive and accommodating and it is evident she has truly put a lot of thought into your stay. Every room is well considered and perfectly appointed. No need to pack a lot of items, as the cabin is fully stocked. Including bath robes! Exploring trails with the UTV, enjoying the river, relaxing in the hot tub, along with the secluded and peaceful surroundings are just what we needed to unwind from everyday life. We can’t thank you enough for a relaxing and memorable stay. We are already looking forward to a return visit!

Anniversary trip
From the moment we drove on the winding tree lined country roads we knew it would be a special vacation. We arrived at the cabin and it is such a pretty setting. The cabin is just as described and so clean. We took the UTV to the river, too low to easily launch kayak, so instead we took walks through the woods, drove around the countryside, and spent alot of time sitting on the back deck listening to music, the birds and bugs, and watching the leaves fall like snow, so relaxing! Sitting on the front porch in the morning we watched gliders (turkey vultures) gliding on the currents. We live in the country so we are use to the quiet, but it was so nice being at a different setting. Rachel, thank you for all the great communication and sharing your wonderful cabin.

Loved the place! Our 2nd time!
The home was still well taken care of, even though we hadn’t been since April of 2021. Everything was still in great condition, well loved home, and now a swing set the kids desperately needed after our 3 hour drive. The home was cleaned as if I had done it myself. The decor, was warm and inviting. We will be back! Loved the nature, wild turkeys, birds, and the river. The kids couldn’t get enough of the UTV. On our last day, we finally went into town for a great bowling and arcade.great memories!

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.
