The cabin was perfect for an annual father / son and his dog weekend. The place was clean, quiet and comfortable. Love the uniqueness of the old cabin. Its and easy walk to the river and a quick trip to Steelville if you need something.Hosts were great and communication was excellent.
it was 20 degrees outside when I got to cabin. owner forgot to adjust thermostat so it was 45 inside cabin. got to 50 in cabin by 10pm, and didnt get into 60s in cabin til next day. Also had to kill 24 wasps inside cabin. owners did respind with extra wasp spray and traps. overall a really nice place with good room for dog to run and had river access which was realky high. bad timing weatherwise. if improve wasp problem would possibly return
We stayed here over the holiday weekend of 4th of July 2024. Had such a wonderful time enjoying the property. LOVED the river and hope to be back there again this year!
We really enjoyed our time here
We spent a lot of time at the gravel bar on the river - our dog loved playing in the water
The cabin was decorated cute with lotus of old charm
lots of fire wood for night time enjoyment
Would love be to make this a yearly trip
This is a great place!!! Elaine was wonderful to work with and full of great information!! We mostly hung out at the river, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! If you wan seclusion this is the place for you!!!
We really enjoyed our fall trip there. The cabin was one of the best parts of the trip. We went to see the cave and hike but the cabin was truly a lovely experience by itself. The hosts were very accommodating when we needed wood or Wi-Fi. (My phone was on the brink).
Due to weather, we spent most of our time at the cabin. Which was a great time. Games were available and we enjoyed smores and the fire pit. All around nice experience. Would highly recommend it to others to stay there.
Love the cabin and the fact you have no neighbors well except the cows. So pretty and trail to river was fun for the bunch of us. Can't wait to return when we have warmer weather so we can float the river. Owners are wonderful to work with and very helpful. A+++

Comfy beds, lots to do. Rainy but did not matter at all. Awesome walk to river. Close to winery.
We didn’t get to stay long but we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. It rained but there was so much to do in the cabin it was great!
The river access is so nice. Just a half mile from the cabin in the truck. You take all you need and have it all with you! The inside was so nice and rustic. Had a great big tub/shower and comfy bed!
It was a cute little cabin. We enjoyed playing games and skipping rocks. It was so cute! The only downfall was the driveway. We would stay again if we visit our son at college.
My family had a wonderful time. The cabin was wonderful. A variety of movies to watch, the kids loved the Tic Tac Toe & Checkers games. The boys loved exploring the outdoors. River access was very close. the clearing by the river with a picnic table was nice. My son-in-law was so impressed, he says he wants to buty it!
The property was just as listed. Great location, great directions, and the perfect peaceful weekend in the country. We enjoyed the firepit/grill area and sitting on the front porch watching the cows and wildlife. We loved sitting by the river and the path to access the river was easy to navigate. The cabin is close to many activities, we loved the area. The host was timely in responses and we would highly recommend this cabin to all who want to escape to the country.
Such a relaxing weekend! Four of us (2 couples) stayed the weekend and just relaxed and had a wonderful time. We spent a day down at the river, and the rest of the time we hung out in the cabin or around the fire. What a great way to unplug! Kitchen was well equipped. Owners very responsive! Highly recommend!!
This is my 4th stay here, absolutely love it! I always sleep great here, love waking up to the birds and cattle! Everyone I bring here with me asks when we can come back to THE cabin. Elaine is very helpful and responds quickly. Feel that this is my home away from home. About 15 min from one of the best trout parks in Missouri. Thank you Elaine and Family😘😘😘
Amazing property that is appropriately named! The cabin is clean and stocked with everything you could need for an old-fashioned relaxing getaway (and wifi if you happen to have a teenager who HAS to connect with his friends 😉). Shower was hot, kitchen was stocked, beds were comfortable!
Owner is super friendly & responsive.
Book it. You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful Get-a-way!
My bestfriend and I needed a weekend away from life and this place was just what we needed! We enjoyed the rustic charm of the cabin and the absolute peace and quiet (except for the occasional mooing cow.) We watched old movies, slept in, did a little fishing in the river, spent an entire day antiquing in the little nearby towns and had a wonderful time together. No kids, no noise, no hustle and bustle. We are already making plans to return and bring more girlfriends with us next time!
