Nice place to lay your head.

This cabin was probably built in the 70s or early 80s based on the decor, but it was clean, comfortable, has the washer/dryer and dishwasher which was a blessing.

Beautiful spot

My family and I rented the Bluebird Cabin for 4 days. It was a dream! It’s close to trout fishing, swimming, floating, and many other things. We even got rained out and still had a blast. It’s a great place to go to unplug as there is no service except for WiFi but honestly, who needs a phone when you’re busy having so much fun. If anyone is in the area and needs a safe place to stay, I’d definitely recommend Corky and Cathy. They’re great hosts and their properties are stunning. We We will definitely be back.

Cute Cabin in the Woods

My 15 year old put down his phone and went outside and roamed the woods and creek bed. He said "We should have brought my friends." Enough said.

Good but Not Great

The house/cabin was functional for what we needed but can definitely use some cleaning. We had several mice hiding under the bed and found droppings in the utensil and cook wares. I probably won't stay again. But if it was a fishing trip or roughing it kind of setting - then it'd be adequate.

Loved that the property was so close to Maramec Springs State Park. We really took advantage of the walking trails. Also a day trip into Steelville was easy on a rainy day.

Very fun, nature retreat

We had a great time staying here. Our group of 7 had plenty of space. We loved the fire pit and spent most of the time around the fire. The cell reception is non existent there, but the wifi works well. Getting to town for supplies is just a short drive and their recommendation for Adventure Outdoors for a float trip was great. Overall, great experience.

Good Cabin Stay

Cabin was just what we expected. There were some cleanliness aspects that could have been addressed before our stay, but for the most part it looks as it does online and worked perfect for our float trip weekend.

Nice set up, but needs updating

Nice set up with three cabins clustered together, each with a nice, individual outdoor area, but within an easy walk of each other. Cabin needs updated and wasn’t the cleanest. Suited our needs. (Do note in the owners instructions, toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags need to be brought to the cabin).

The wifi was terrible we just played board games no TV watched a few dvds that was provided. Overall the stay was great. Just lack of television or wifi connection I think that wifi should be taken off the listing. Thank you

Cute cabin but it was squeaky

The cabin was cute. Location was nice and quite. The beds were not very comfortable and the floors squeaked alot. Difficult to sleep at night when you could hear every movement. We were a group of 6 family and friends that went on a float trip. AC worked great. The internet was not very good. There was no cell phone service.

Will stay again

This is a secluded cabin at the end of a dirt road with 2 other cabins. I was a perfect size for our family. With our daughter going to Missouri S&T this will be our go to place in the future. It was 20 minutes from campus.

This is a gorgeous cabin. The style is a bit outdated, but it was sufficient for our needs to utilize the night before a float trip. The owners were helpful in their instructions the days up to the stay.
