Good Location for Exploring the Area

The property is a great location for outdoor activities in the area. It was lacking basic necessities, linens and blankets were not in the cabin for using the futon in the living area.

Caverns Concert

The cabin had everything we needed (after we brought food) which was great when our rental car broke down shortly after we got there. Local shuttle (Sheila's Shuttle) got us to the Show and back. Management was very flexible and understanding of our predicament with the car and waiting for the Tow truck at checkout. We'll be back!

A little bit of everything.

Best host on the app. Absolute great cabin. It has everything you need. Close to trails, water features, it was quiet, clean and the cabin was so cool. Lots of windows in the front, made you feel like you were camping outdoors. Super cozy bedroom, huge comfy futon and the electric fireplace was a perfect addition. It kept us plenty warm, but has 2 HVAC units if you need. 8

Great little cabin

Thw cabin was nicer than I expected. Everything was perfect. The property is nice and clean. We drove seven hours from Missouri for a concert at thw Caverns. I booked in February for our June vacay. I was nervous when I didnt get emails the day before or day of. I messaged to confirm everything was good, but never heard back. I found check in instructions in the VRBO app with a key code. I trusted everything would be as planned, and it was. But it is terrifying to drive 450 miles not knowing with 100% certainty that we were expected. I worried about the possibility of a double booking or property damage from recent storms in the area. However, everything was ready, the key code worked, the cabin was perfect, the property was beautiful, and we had a great stay. I would book with this renter again.
