About this property
"Thirties" Apt at Ozark Highlands Farm
"Thirties" is a charming 600 sq ft studio apartment on the lower level of Stirling Cottage, (the farmhouse above that can sleep up to 16 people.)
It is a perfect place for a casual weekend or for longer term lodging (which comes with a significant discount.) Thirties features a hand-built (sorry, non-working) massive stone fireplace, a fully equipped 1930's - style kitchen, and unique bathroom. The main room has a daybed that sleeps two, with an art screen that separates it from the "bedroom" with twin beds. (Ample floor space would allow 2 extra guests on air mattresses - extra charge of $20/person/night.) An inside stairway connects Thirties to Stirling, - together, they can sleep up to 22 people. Or the stairway door can be locked on both sides for guest privacy - Thirties has its own private entry.
Situated on 60 beautiful, peaceful acres, we are a working farm with a "laughing creek" bordering the west edge of the property. Stroll the property, lounge in the hammock with one of the affectionate cats, listen to the birds, have morning coffee leisurely at the table under the trees,
and take a journey back to a simpler time with the vintage ambiance of this lodging.
PLEASE NOTE: I cannot accommodate animals inside the apartment because so many of my guests have allergies.
Here are three additional amenities that may interest your group:
FARM TOUR
At the Cottage farm, (weather/season permitting,) we offer a Farm Tour which includes interacting with and hand-feeding Hannah & Hezzy, our long-hair Scottish Highland heifer & bull; Tom and Harry, our two Alpacas; Rebecca, our LaMancha milk goat (and the other goats;) Libby, Valiant, & Esther, our Anatolian/Pyrenees goat guardians; and, Jill, the affectionate barn cat.
Across the road at the Stirling farm are beautiful St. Gertrudis cattle, my assortment of chickens, and more sweet, affectionate cats. In addition to interacting and hand-feeding the animals (except Libby,) the tour includes milking lessons (when Rebecca is still producing,) and egg collection - $30 for 1-10 people - $40 for 11-20.
MASSAGE:
I am acquainted with an experienced massage therapist, who brings her table and supplies to the property. One recent guest who has experienced professional massage therapy in many of her world-wide travels, said, "Elise gave me the best massage I have ever had!" And another said, - “ Elise gave Rich the best massage he has had since we left Arizona 20 years ago!” (Advanced notice necessary-payment made directly to Elise.)
CATERING:
There are also two caterers within five miles of the farm:
Angie Smith – catering – smoked meats, etc.
Mende Staggs – cakes and full meal catering.
Communication and payment made directly to them.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Merre Putnam
I love: anything having to do with off the beaten path adventure, creating and designing things, learning, gardening, reading, playing games, uniqueness, and bargains. Repurposing things and working with people is energizing to me, but the best is hanging out with our 8 children (4 original and 4 spouses) and eight grandchildren. I enjoy traveling and staying with other hosts.
