My husband and I had a great time in this charming property. We enjoyed the hot tub and it was in such close proximity to everything we wanted to do. We canoed the Meramec and enjoyed the winery which was just a mile down the road. The property was beautiful as well as the surroundings. We would definitely go back there again.

Thank you Tracy! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you back!
The propery was very clean ,we enjoyed our stay the only problem was there where no curtains on windows and the bed was not very comfortable. We had to put beach towels on the windows at night. Other than those things (windows were kind of a big deal) the hot tub was great and very clean
We had a lovely time at this lovely cabin. The deck was our favorite hang out. The neighbors dogs bark a lot, one night it was on and off all night long. The cabin is new and nice but needs more places to hang things, and unpack. Oh! And it could use some ice trays. The view from the deck was lovely and we saw turkeys 🦃 every day.
One of the best, most relaxing places we’ve stayed as a family. Short walk down to the gravel bar, easy access to lots of hike and beautiful natural reserves. Jessica was very responsive and great to work with, will definitely be staying again in this cabin and their other properties. Really lucky we found this place!
This idyllic location has been in my family for five generations. Originally purchased by my great-great-grandfather, my great-grandfather was born in the original farmhouse. Then my grandmother, her twin sister, my own mother, and I were all lucky enough and blessed to have grown up cradled within this picturesque and peaceful piece of land.
Excited and inspired to share our love of this land with others, my husband Justin and I started 4J Vacation Rentals in 2020 with two homes— Country Cabin & Hillside— that were each built and lived in by my grandparents and my great-grandmother. In 2021, we purchased the neighboring 16 acres and 4 cabins— Dogwood, Sassafras, Copperstone, and Murphy’s Retreat— that overlook the Meramec River, and our vision of sharing this land was magnified and expanded beyond our wildest dreams.
Additionally, Justin and I also run a nearby cattle farm, and my mom and I have started a non-profit equine therapy practice for those with special needs. Justin and I have two kids who love to run around and explore the surrounding rolling hills and sparkling riverbed, just like I did when I was a kid, and my mom did before me.
This land is a magical place we so enjoy sharing— and seeing guests like you fall in love with it is such a rewarding feeling. Waking up to see the morning sunrise through the mist as it rises off the Meramec River Valley is a truly spiritual experience— one that will effortlessly bring you the serenity and tranquility you crave, and that are so lacking in the world today. But don’t take my word for it. Book your next escape and come see us soon.
