Fish & Float from Cabin #3 on James River - Sleeps 4, #3 of 5 Cabins
Calling all fishermen, floaters, front porch rockers, and campfire lovers!
Welcome to James River Landing—your riverside retreat just a block from downtown Galena, Missouri. Nestled along the scenic James River, this getaway blends the peace of nature with the convenience of being just minutes from Branson’s attractions—while still feeling a world away.
The river is literally your backyard. Select outfitters can shuttle you upriver so you can float back to your cabin—or simply relax on the back deck and take in the sights and sounds of nature. Prefer to stay dry? Enjoy a peaceful stroll, watch wildlife, or unwind by the water’s edge.
Our property includes four cozy cabins (each sleeps 4) and one spacious lodge (sleeps 12), all elevated on stilts for unbeatable views and a unique stay right at the water’s edge.
Cabin #3 is The Owl's Perch—one of our charming one-bedroom cabins, perfect for couples or small families.
Planning a gathering? Rent multiple cabins for a reunion or friend getaway. Float together, picnic by the river, then retreat to your private cabin, all connected by a shared deck just steps from the shoreline.

Clean cabin in Galena
Cute single bedroom cabin with full kitchen and nicely furnished. Close to river, but not readily accessible. Laundry facilities weren’t operable during our stay and it would have been beneficial to know that prior to our stay. Enjoy the massive deck that is shared between 4 cabins. Also has picnic tables and fire pits for each cabin. Recommend the outstanding breakfast options at the Farmer’s Daughter in town.

Thank you for the review, Teresa. Sorry the washer was not working in Unit 2 when you arrived. We've ordered the parts. We haven't heard the river was not accessible before. We'll be listening to see if it is an issue for others. Most walk the adjacent concrete launch or the grassy slope in the corner of the yard. We are always looking to improve.
Neighborhood was quiet. Everything needed in the cabin was supplied. Cable was out all weekend at no fault of the owner. This was communicated to the owner with quick response. Not going to be fixed until Tuesday. We were out and about most of the weekend so it wasn’t a big deal to us. The cabin floors were not the cleanest, otherwise good place to stay.
My family of 5 (3) kids under 13 have stayed in every cabin as well as the main house. Our most recent trip 8/17/24 was absolutely exceptional like always. Flawless booking, the owners went well above and beyond to accommodate our booking request. I cant say enough good things about this place and the owners. Cabins are always spotless. Very close to the James river.. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that likes fishing or just a quiet place to unwind. We will be back soon!

Thank you for your kind words, Rocky. We enjoyed having you and thank you for noticing we take pride in making the units clean. And, isn't it great to have the James River as your backyard. You are always welcome.
