Take it easy in this rustic cabin duplex. Enjoy a huge yard on both sides of the house, a large concrete patio, grill, and many places for a riverfront fire. There is a train that passes by the distance of 2 blocks away and blows its horn, but not to worry, while inside, the horn is hardly noticeable thanks to the multi-layered, sound deadening windows. Enjoy the hammock, hanging swing chair, or the porch swing. 2 bedroom, Wifi, central heat/air, full kitchen, coffee maker, etc!
🎈 For weddings or other events, please inquire about event pricing/arrangements! Events/gatherings are not allowed unless approved beforehand and every guest is accounted for 🎈
Cool sight to see: There’s a Bald Eagle that often perches in a nearby waterfront tree looking for fish. If you’re patient enough, you can see him swoop down and grab one!
This is a 2 bedroom duplex unit located just outside of town, nestled right on the riverfront. You can open the curtains to welcome in tons of natural light and a beautiful view of the river. The curtains also work efficiently to block out the light, when closed, if your goal is to watch Netflix or simply get some much-needed rest.
One bedroom has a huge king bed, memory foam mattress, full dresser, and double closet.
The second bedroom has a queen bed that boasts a comfy mattress, full dresser, and small closet as well.
In the living room, you will find a couch and smart tv is capable of logging onto any of your subscriptions so you don`t have to worry about missing your favorite shows. Rock fireplace is purely aesthetic. Insurance doesn’t allow us to burn anything inside but feel free to use the outdoor firepit for a fire.
Next to the living room is a full kitchen with everything you need to prepare and enjoy a meal. In the morning, brew yourself a fresh cup of coffee with the provided coffee maker.
This rock wall bathroom with rain shower, his and her sinks, and bidet has everything you need to keep you feeling fresh! (The waterfall shower is decommissioned due to excessive water flow running out the hot water too fast… so rain shower side only).
Outside, find a huge concrete patio and all the things you need to relax and enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the river or a campfire under the stars. If needed, there is a laundry room located in the hallway of this duplex. Both units have access to this laundry room so all we ask is that you please be courteous of that.
If you use appliances, dirty dishes, or make a mess, please clean, dry, and return them how they were. The maid will take care of normal maid duties such as general wipe down, sweeping washing towels and linens, etc. Thank you for respecting this home as if it were your own.
You have access to the entire east duplex(farthest from the road). The left side parking space in the driveway is yours and there is plenty of parking on the road if needed as well.
The parking, yard, and patio areas are split between the 2 duplex units. For cancellations within the full refund window, card processing fees will be deducted.

Comfortable accommodations with easy check-in/check-out. Owner was friendly and responsive to questions. Property was clean and well kept. Very peaceful. You can view the river from the cabin. Hammocks and fire pit available. Lots of amenities in kitchen. I would stay here again. Pet friendly.
We only stayed 1 night but the host was great with communication and making sure we knew what to expect. Great little place. Very comfy for our needs and very clean. Thank you Anthony.
This was a Great place to stay on our short mini vacation to KC! So often, it's tough to find arrangements for our pets so this was a Great place to bring our 2 dogs and enjoy some outdoors and scenic views of the river. It's the first time we've done a VRBO but will definitely do it again sometime!
Every was exactly as described. Very remote cabin on the river with wonderful neighbors not too close by. Very clean and upgraded property with amazing sunsets. I would definitely recommend.
Nice, clean place, right on the beautiful Missouri
The front porch and large yard are right on the expansive Missouri river. Inside, the house is clean, well-furnished, and comfortable. Two large TVs. Modern kitchen, with filtered drinking water. Comfortable bedrooms.
I have stayed in several rooms at this site. I must admit this was my least favorite, but if it all that's available I would still stay again.

Sorry that you didn’t like our cabin. We didn’t receive and single message from you the entire time so I’m not sure what your issue was. You didn’t state your issue in your review either. We have a 4.96 rating on our other hosting site because nearly everyone loves this place. Maybe it’s because you came when it was negative temperatures in the middle of winter, I’m not sure. Anyways, hope you have a good year!
The cabin wasn’t comfortable! very cold inside and couldn’t regulate the temperature to stay warm, We used the oven to warm us when we were awake and kept the electric fireplace going the whole time. Also the hot water is only in the kitchen not the shower! The host needs to stay there to check out his facility to make it more comfortable for his guests not him self!! It’s a shame i came all the way from Texas to see Missouri and my housing stay was very uncomfortable!! Won’t stay there again and will tell everyone that has children not to rent it, way to cold inside. Very disappointing!!! Linda Herring .

Hey Gary, all you have to do is turn up the thermostat in the hallway and the heat works amazing. There is also a fireplace heater. It's unfortunate that you never said anything to us during your stay because we would have been happy to help you find the thermostat!
The location was a little ways out of St Joe but being on the Missouri River made up for that. Nice tree next to river with a swing. I sat there with my dog on my lap watching the water flow past. Very clesn and maintained property. The only thing you might consider is that there are no outside lights and limited lighting inside. In the bedroom my wife could not see to knit. A few more lamps would help. But overall a great stay for us.
One aspect that was not mentioned is the proximity the train tracks which is apparent from the map, but it detracts from the seclusion. There was also no ventilation in the bathroom either, so it did smell a bit musty. As well, there was no anti-slip mat or stickers in the shower which felt dangerous. The kitchen also lacked some essential material like cooking oil. The highlight was the location next to Missouri River and close access to the nature center.

There’s an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Maybe you didn’t turn it on?
There’s olive oil in the cabinet but also please plan to bring your own ingredients. We provide the venue and a full kitchen but not the food lol.
Also the shower floor is tiny tiles that arent slippery so there’s no need for a slip mat. Slip mats are for slippery floors, which do not exist in this unit.
