Located on approximately 170 acres of land in Morgan County, Missouri on Highway 135 just minutes from the town of Laurie, this property is secluded, yet close to all major amenities in the area.

The Desperado is a rural piece of property situated on approximately 170 acres of land just off Highway 135, northwest of Laurie, MO and is comprised of beautiful rolling hills and ridges. The acreage includes many varieties of hardwood trees, but is recognized for its stunning dogwood and redbud trees that bloom in the Spring. The Lodge is rustic, yet has abundant space and all of the modern conveniences of home.

The Desperado Lodge was completely remodeled in 2021 and consists of an open floorplan kitchen, living, and dining area that is ideal for large families and entertaining.

The dining table has two leaf extensions and chairs to seat up to eight people. There is also seating for six at the beautiful, custom, sycamore wood island. And there is seating for two at the bar area.

The open floor living area includes a new, 75-inch flat-screen television. The seating area consists of one couch, one loveseat, and three recliners.

Clean, Fun, Private Getaway
It is a great property property just a few miles from the lake. The house is decorated with a very cool with an outdoorsman setup. It has a ton of privacy with no neighbors in sight. The house itself is clean and the a/c units work well to keep the house very cool, even in the heat of the summer. Very cool place, we would certainly give it a stay in the future.

Quiet Peaceful Getaway
Desperado was a beautiful place to stay. The number of bathrooms & bedrooms was perfect for my family. Having the Blackstone & Traeger smoker and hot tub were big perks. If you’re looking for a peaceful remote getaway - highly recommend!
