Cottage in the Woods

We enjoyed getting out and hiking through the trails and chatting with neighbors. If you are planning on staying here, you really need to bring cookware, and something to cook on. I did see outdoor grills but no pans or pots in cabin.

October trip

The property was very nice and clean. It was smaller than I expected, but I'm sure it was represented correctly. The TV was in the bedroom and we would have preferred it in the living area, but there really wasn't room there. I really liked the air conditioner/heater! We used both. All and all, I would recommend staying there and we may again. Very convenient location if you're planning on Elephant Rock state park.

State Parks vacation

Everything was great, the cabin, the property, the host! She was very quick to respond with answers to my questions. The trails on the property were very nice, it was very easy to get into nature, we saw a bobcat, some deer and lots of squirrels. I’m definitely staying there in the future.

Relaxing and picturesque

I was looking for a quiet getaway close to hiking trails. This place is close to many state parks but I enjoyed the hiking on the property so much I spent the day there instead of venturing out. There are restaurants and grocery nearby. The host is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Overall a great little retreat!

Adorable, comfortable cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Porch. The cottage was perfect for our trip. We enjoyed the snacks and cold bottled water waiting for us at our arrival. The place was immaculate! The cute kitchenette provided a nice mini-fridge, microwave, coffee provisions, and table for two.The bedroom and bathroom are very nice, and good sized- much roomier than they look in the photos. The property is absolutely gorgeous. There are several trails to enjoy. There's even a fishing pond and beautiful garden. We saw a deer one morning and a mama with two little ones the next day. There's so much more! A truly charming place. Linda was very helpful and quickly responded to all of my messages.

What a stunning property. We found it on a whim as we wanted to see some of the amazing parks in the area. We did all of those but could have easily spent the entire week on this property alone. There are hiking trails, a fishing lake, and creeks to stomp in and hunt for cool rocks. Not to mention all the wildlife running around. We saw a beautiful doe in the evenings! We are really hoping we can host a family gathering there next year if we can get everyone’s schedules coordinated. We LOVED it here. Accommodations were top notch and high end finishes. Very clean and even smelled amazing!

Peaceful get away

We really enjoyed our stay. We had the whole place to ourselves and enjoyed walking around the grounds. It appears the property was a former retreat center / camp. Would love to know the history behind it!

Winter Getaway

My husband and I decided to capitalize on a few nice day and see the sites in the area. This is an amazing property with a variety of rentals to choose from. We enjoyed taking walks on their trails which offer beautiful views of pasture land and woods. The cabin was super cozy and was lovely sitting on the swing drinking coffee in the morning. We loved our porch cabin for a winter getaway and hopefully will be back to see it in another season!

This little slice of heaven in Arcadia, Missouri is a great place to take a much-needed respite. It would be perfect for a couple, although I went by myself and it was fabulous. The property is amazing and I walked A few of the trails would definitely go back.!!

Hidden Gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Porch cabin. We didn't fully realize or appreciate what we were booking until we arrived and were very pleasantly surprised with the venue. The privacy and security of the gated property was fully appreciated, and it was the perfect "base camp" for our hiking adventures at Elephant Rocks State Park and Johnson's Shut-ins. There is so much more to explore in the area, we will be planning another trip and know exactly where to stay! Thank you, Linda, for a wonderful, weekend getaway. We enjoyed it immensely!

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
My husband and I moved to the Valley back in 2014. We bought the Iron County Farms next to this property in 2013, which was once a Thoroughbred farm. We decided to run cattle on it. In 2020 we turned one of our big barn lofts into a wedding venue. Keeping the original woodwork of this beautiful 100-year-old barn intact. It's definitely one of a kind. In August of 2021 We had the chance to purchase this wonderful 38 acres that sits adjacent to our farm, that would give us 3 additional venues, plus 6 Cabins. We were so excited for this new property. In January of 2022 we finally took over ownership of this beautiful property and in May of 2022 decided to share our cabins with all of you! We hope you love them and the property as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The thing we enjoy most about this property is its beauty and history. We love that it's just a mile outside of town, but you feel a million miles away.

What makes this property unique

In the early 1900's this property was a Methodist kid's camp called Epworth Among the Hills. The big Pavillion you will see on the hill of this property is from the 1904 World's Fair of St. Louis. The two-story red Mission House was established in 1907 and was where the missionaries would stay. Alot of kids spent their summers on this beautiful property. The camp shut its doors in the late 1990's and new owners bought it in 2001 and did a wonderful job refurbing all the original cabins and the Riverstone lodge. The boy cabins still sit in the original state but gutted and new roofs until we decided how we want to refurbish them. My husband and I owning the farm next door and turning one of our 100-year-old barns into a wedding/event venue, when this property became available to purchase, we didn't have to think twice. We took over ownership in January of 2022. We changed some furnishing inside the cabins, installed charter and some TV's. Then in May of 2022 we decided to put the cabins on short term rental sites so everyone could come and enjoy the beauty and history of this best kept secret in the Valley. We also do large and small group retreats, with or without meals, weddings and all other events. So, when you come and stay with us, take some time to walk around and breathe in a little bit of history.
