Great property in a beautiful setting

My wife and I stayed for a football game at Mizzou and this property was perfect. It's about 20-25 outside of town and was much nicer than the hotel options that were available to us. We would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful Room!

A beautiful over the garage apartment that was perfect for what I needed. Close to Columbia and Centralia (where my kids where moving to). Easy to get in and out of the property. Amazing decor and the apartment was clean and welcoming. Will probably become our go to spot when visiting our kids.

Quiet country getaway

We needed a quiet place to get away from the busyness of life and to do some goal planning and reflection. It isn't too far from shopping and restaurants but still away from the bustle of the city. We found the map of Clark in the book shelf and took a nice drive through the countryside. We stopped at an Amish bakery along the road which had the best goodies! This home was perfect and was just what we needed. It is beautifully decorated and clean. Highly recommend!

Slice of heaven

I was dropping my daughter off at Mizzou and your amazing loft offered us solace and peace from the craziness of the previous weeks of preparation and from the chaos of campus. We esp loved the animals in nature's setting. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us! We plan to be back! Liz Bowling

Good to go

Really nice location and well setup. I didn't expect the stairs to the room but I'm sure I just overlooked this in the description. The bed was really firm so I didn't sleep well but that's a personal issue. All in all, it was a great stay.

Great place to stay - off the beaten path!

This is very spacious and totally up to date! The host has everything you need and a lot of really nice extras - snacks, games, puzzles, books and robes. The host gave us great directions, so we were able to drive right to it. It is about 15 minutes from Columbia, but a super easy drive. We will stay here again if we have a chance.

About the host

Hosted by Kendra Martin

Host profile image
My family and I recently moved to the country, just outside Hallsville, MO and we absolutely love it! My husband and I have 4 kids who keep us quite busy with everything under the sun! Together as a family, we enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, spending time on the lake and dragging my husband (who is lactose intolerant) to the nearest ice cream store. I have spent the last 12 years as a professional photographer.

Why they chose this property

The studio sits on 10 partially wooded acres and sports 2 ponds, a walking trail around the larger of the two and a picnic area just outside the studio. The grounds are very peaceful and quiet, however if you desire a little more entertainment, the city of Columbia is a 15 minute drive away. Columbia is a college town of around 108,000 residents. There is plenty to do including, shopping, biking, hiking, fishing, movies and lots of excellent places to dine. Whether you are looking for bar and grill, fine dining, casual, coffee or donuts the possibilities are endless. Hallsville is mere minutes away where you can fill up on gas, snacks or groceries.

What makes this property unique

Hallsville is a small town 2.5 miles away from the studio, Centralia 8 miles away and Columbia 15 miles away. Needless to say, everything you need is within easy reach. Columbia, being the larger of the 3 has many restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, biking and walking trails and many other activities. Both Hallsville and Centralia have parks, grocery stores and gas stations. We are also close to an Amish community which means lots of fresh produce in the summer and their famous hand pies!
