We enjoyed the fantastic getaway, the name speaks for itself. “The Hidden Gem”, an exquisite retreat that perfectly showcases the stunning natural beauty of Missouri. Our nights were enriched by the serene sounds of nature and a sky ablaze with stars. During the day, we enjoyed the lush greenery and peaceful pond.

We had a fantastic stay. The chateau was clean, spacious, and well stocked. Our kids especially enjoyed fishing on the pond on the property. Our hosts communicated ahead of time to answer our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. A few days after our trip, our two year old asked when we were going back to the "other house" - answer: soon!

This property is wonderful. It had everything we needed and more! We stayed 3 nights and had all the comforts of home in a beautiful setting. We cooked ourselves breakfast each morning and loved the cookware so much we may buy some. And we had enough towels for a family of 4 to not have to do any laundry for 3 days. The frontage property was so beautiful, we used as a backdrop for some fall family pictures! Would recommend over and over !

We were in Bourbon, MO for a wedding at the Blue Springs Ranch. This place fit the bill and when we pulled up and walked in, I realized this was one of those rare places where the in-person experience was better than even the photos! You feel like you’re in a Joanna Gaines Fixer Upper designed house with every single detail thought out. Quality linens, a porch swing that you would see on Instagram and an even larger outdoor luxe living area. We were so grateful to have this oasis of peace and beauty to come back to as we did all the wedding stuff. HIGHLY recommend.
