Definitely a more rustic/hunting property. Pros for the property: it was clean, beds super comfortable, the host was very nice and helpful. The bigger pond was pretty and the outdoor space was beautiful. Cons: the birds nest was a little farther away from the main house than I thought and the 2nd bathroom is detached from both spaces so to use it required you to go outside and in the Missouri heat that bathroom was very stuffy and not well used. Also some things in the kitchen were lacking.. we had a large group and there are not a lot of plates, cups, mugs, pots and pans. Definitely pack like you are going camping we anticipated this and had everything we needed. Overall it was a good stay and loved the area. We did not spend much time on the property as we were there for basic training graduation. The base is about a half hour drive but worth it for the price! Thank you to the host for the accommodations.

Overall, we had a nice getaway from the city and enjoyed our stay. We loved how remote and peaceful the property was, which made it a great place to relax and unplug. The air conditioning in both the main house and the tree house worked extremely well and kept everything nice and cool, even during the hotter parts of the day.The property comfortably accommodated our two families of four, and we felt there was plenty of room for everyone. The property has a lot of potential and offers a unique experience.A few things that would improve future stays would be providing more cleaning supplies and additional toilet paper. Other than that, we enjoyed our time and appreciated the quiet, secluded setting.

My opinion

The place was comfortable and relatively clean. The area is quiet but we apparently came at hay balling time which caused a lot of in and out on the property. Not really a problem but we didn’t know what was going on for a while. The “treehouse” was perfect for our young adults. There was a bit of confusion on the listing. It said two bathrooms. It didn’t say that it was one in the house and a bathhouse out by the treehouse. All I’m saying is that it was misleading a bit. We'd come back when back in the area.

Uninhabitable

The initial instructions were that there was a key in the lockbox and also a code on the kitchen door. When we arrived the lockbox was open with no key. We did use the code to get in, but were uncomfortable knowing the key was missing. I asked about the key and then was told there wasnt a key, but that is not what was first said. The smell when walking in was not right. It smelled of dead animal. We could not stay, it felt unsafe and unclean. The host stopped communication after we advised them we could not stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 June 2025
Hi Alissa, Sorry to hear about your stay. You messaged us immediately telling us you would not be staying and wanted a refund. As we informed you immediately there was no missing key and the lock box had just been left open on accident, as the other portion of our instructions said use the key pad to open the door. The lock box was an old back up solution we used years ago incase the lockbox battery died. Key was removed over a year ago. We have since removed the lockbox mention on the check in-instructions so no one else becomes confused or scared. I had two cleaners and my neighbor visit the house before and after your stay. All three said there was no smell they could detect, so I am sorry we were not able to verify what you were claiming. Had you given us any notice, we could have had one of these people visit while you were there so you could show them what you were talking about, but you left before we had a chance to do that. You then told VRBO employees that I had agreed to give you a refund which was not true. We continued to respond to you, I said I would work with you to try and resolve this and you proceeded to write this review. If we could verify anything you had claimed we would be more understanding and would have certainly provided a refund.

Not a place to stay with your family

The good: - The beds were very comfortable & supportive for a bad back. - The house was spacious - The area was beautiful - Check in was easy, the owner was responsive & driving directions were clear. - Good Wi-fi. Smart TV let us log into streaming services. - Plenty of dish soap, paper towels, shampoo, etc. lots of random things you might forget to pack. - The treehouse room was cute & cozy. - The pond is full of frogs. The bad: - The oven was plugged into an outlet connected to a switch that also controlled the kitchen light. If you turn the light off, you turn the power to the oven off. It’s a gas range so this also turned off the pilot light. - Ants all over the counter - Strong smell of mildew - Unlocked cabinet with hunting & fishing supplies (ammunition, knives, miscellaneous) in the room with the bunkbeds. - Dirty pots and pans in cupboard - Dirty dish towels left in kitchen.

Good for a fishing cabin, but not much else

We rented this property for 5 days and 4 nights while we were in town for family day and graduation at Ft. Leonard Wood. The good thing is that it's only about 20 minutes to base and other city amenities. We were prepared for the experience to be more like glamping, but still felt the listing was inaccurate. For example, there was a dishwasher as mentioned in the listing, but it was not connected to anything. There were kitch towels, no drinking glasses (only coffee cups), and only deodorant for basic toiletries. The stove, as another reviewer mentioned, only worked if the light was on. The wifi worked when we first connected, but then about an hour later, the network completely disappeared for the remainder of our stay. The bedrooms were a weird layout. To get to one, you had to go through another. To get to the only bathroom in the house, you had to go through a bedroom. It was a mild compromise on privacy, but something we wish we knew ahead of time.As for comfort, there were only ceiling fans (that only worked with the lights on) and 2 window air conditioners. The second bathroom was outside in a shed type structure, but the grass was not cut around it. It also had zero ventilation. The worst was the house toilet backing up as soon as we arrived. A plumber came out, but was mistakenly sent away. Instead of getting another plumber, we just had to use the outside bathroom for our stay. At least the host was polite and quick to respond.

Remote get away

This was a nice get away for our family. 30 min from fugitive beach. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 babies and we didn't use the bunk beds so more could have stayed. Be sure to get your supplies before you come because there is no where close. The stop n go has drinks but the resources are scarce. This was a quiet county location.
