I feel like the description over sells the property a bit. Walking trails that are kind of mowed, a stocked pond that is a mystery as of how to get to.. didn’t figure it out. The actual lodging is clean, well stocked, etc.. we enjoyed our stay, but as the person paying for the lodging I felt like the property didn’t match my expectations based on the description. But we still had a good time.

We enjoyed our stay and exploring the creek and catching fireflies. We also loved just sitting out and pushing the kids on the swing. James was so helpful when we asked him questions about things to do

Three 60 something sisters thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We had planned to take some day trips but ended up spending nearly the entire time at the creek. The house and property were fabulous and just what we needed to unwind. Would definitely return.

Great place to unwind! Close enough to attractions if you wanted to venture to them but this place is so beautiful, tranquil, and recreational that if you want to just take it all in, bring your groceries and enjoy! We took advantage of the weekend, fished, explored, and relaxed - which is typically hard for us.

House was clean, great scenery, comfortable beds and Wi-Fi worked great.But… all other furniture was uncomfortable and the “stocked pond” didn’t seem to have any fish and was very shallow (but the canoe worked). Really though the worst part was the water pressure was next to nothing, really hard to take a shower or do much of anything.I hate leaving a bad review but I do want people to be aware.

Thank you, Jonathan, for taking the time to leave your detailed feedback and for the kind words about the clean house, beautiful scenery, comfortable beds, and reliable Wi-Fi. I'm sorry to hear the other furniture wasn't as comfortable as you'd hoped and that the water pressure was significantly lower than expected — that's definitely not the experience we want guests to have. We'll be looking into the plumbing right away to improve the water flow for future stays. Regarding the pond, we do our best to keep it stocked, but fish activity and water levels can vary with the season and weather; I appreciate you noting that it felt shallower than anticipated. We truly value honest reviews like yours because they help us make the property better. If you're ever in the area again, we'd love the chance to host you and make things right. - James

This house is exactly what we were looking for, quiet house in the country with not to long of a drive for activities. The creek wasnt high so it was great for exploring. The cows across the way were great for hanging outside and watching with your coffee in the morning. Quiet area with a beautiful scenery. The house was extreamly clean when we arrived and well put together. The air hockey table was a favorite of the kids! The family did not want to leave and were talking about other things to go back for just to stay here again.Really great stay!

James was an amazing host who quickly responded to any questions we had and provided great information on logging in and the amenities and even provided a map of the property which included a fishing pond, an awesome clear creek that you could explore, cool off or fish in. It was so nice being out by ourselves where we could cook dinner on the gas grill or even smoke or charcoal a meal on the other provided smoker. Most of all it was great just to sit outside and enjoy the stars, all the sounds of the countryside, and relax. There are several places to eat and be entertained within 15 minutes without dealing with the Branson traffic. I highly suggest the farmers daughter café in Galena.. A wonderful drive from the property and incredible food for breakfast lunch or dinner. We will definitely be back!

Cozy Cabin, Perfect for our family of five!

This place was such a wonderful stay for our family. With three boys, from 8 y.o. to a teenager, this cabin had the best sleeping setup...what kid doesn't LOVE bunkbeds?!?! Our two younger ones loved it!! Plus my teenager got to have his own bed in the same space as well. Lots of space in the living area for card games in the evenings. The game room was a huge hit for the kids, and my husband and I used it in the morning for a quiet place to read and drink coffee. We loved watching the cows get their breakfast feed. The double decks were great places to nap outdoors, or to quietly watch the deer drink from the creek. But our favorite place to be was the swimming hole, under the waterfalls. We spent one entire day exploring the creek, looking for fossils, fish, crawfish. The water was crystal clear so the boys used their goggles to explore everything. The path to the swimming hole was easy to follow, and that is how we got there the first day. The days that followed, we walked the creek. Water shoes are a must-have to enjoy the full experience. It was glorious! The master bedroom upstairs was spacious and quiet. We were relieved to have so many fans in all of the rooms, and the split AC's were so quiet. It made for nice cool evenings when everything outside was so humid. Easy to find remote controls for everything. They really thought of it all. Grocery stores were a quick drive. Will absolutely stay again. Our kids preferred thi cabin and river over a hotel and pool any day.

We’re thrilled to hear how much you and your boys enjoyed the natural beauty and outdoor adventures our property offers.We’re delighted that the bunkbeds were a hit with your kids. We love that the living area became a hub for your evening card games, and the game room provided a peaceful morning retreat for you and your husband to enjoy coffee and reading.

Exploring the creek for fossils, fish, and crawfish with crystal-clear water sounds like an unforgettable adventure for your boys! The natural surroundings are such a treasure, and we’re happy your family chose the cabin and creek over a typical hotel and pool experience. We strive to make the cabin feel like a home away from home, so we’re glad the remote controls and thoughtful touches made your stay seamless.Thank you for being such respectful guests and for taking great care of the property, leaving it spotlessly clean—we truly appreciate it!
