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.

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.

Dear Amanda, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing our cozy cabin for your family’s getaway! 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. Your description of the outdoor experiences truly captures what makes this place special! We’re especially thrilled that the swimming hole under the waterfalls was a highlight for your family. 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! Your kind words about the cabin and its surroundings mean the world to us, and we’d love to welcome your family back for another nature-filled adventure anytime. The creek, deer, and swimming hole will be waiting! Warm regards, James Gentry
