Vacation Rentals by Owner

Nice view and location for exploring Mtn View

Nice deck & view. Quiet. Watched bald eagles and hawks from the porch. This is a family's vacation home, so there are many personal things (photos, toiletries, etc) around. Property is 5 years old, so the house itself is pretty new and well-maintained. Heat, hot water, etc work very well. Amount of decor can be overwhelming and covered every surface, so had to move things around to actually have usable space. Made us a little uncomfortable moving their things around, but it was necessary to eat or play games. Expected some things to be cleaner, but it wasn't filthy by any stretch. Enjoyed mountain biking, hiking, Blanchard Caverns, Yoder's Cupboard, the Dulcimer Shop, caught trout at Mirror Lake. Can recommend food at PJ's Rainbow Cafe - was delicious from scratch home cookin'. Overall, was a very nice week, owner was friendly and helpful. The price matched the quality and amenities.

What a beautiful cabin! We had a wonderful time here! The back deck view was fantastic, as was the outdoor fireplace!! It was also beautifully furnished with everything we needed. We didn't want to leave! Thank you for sharing this wonderful cabin with us. For a weekly rental, would we be able to use the washer and dryer? That was the only downside, as we fished one day and would have liked to have washed our clothes. Thank you, and we will be back!!

What a wonderful place to stay! Everything you could possibly need is in the cabin. The beds are very comfortable and the view is amazing! We love the decor, also. It's a beautiful place and very clean. It's so much fun to go to the park on weekend evenings to listen to the bluegrass music. We loved the Folk Art Center and Blanchard Caverns. There are lots of good places to eat in the area, also. You have to visit Twin Pines Lodge!

Can't beat the view!

Quiet and comfortable surroundings with an unbeatable view. We watched the clouds roll in over the hills and down the valleys early the first morning. The cabin was spacious and clean with all the conveniences of home. We celebrated my parents' 35th wedding anniversary here and they loved it. My father prefers it over my in-laws' cabin down in the valley, right on the river. I strongly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get off the beaten path and waking up to a wall of windows with nothing but beautiful views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Twin Pines. The house is cozy and the view is great! Our only complaint was that we couldn't get the DVD players to work to watch the 2 movies we rented (there weren't any instructions). We also had difficulties with the 2 fireplaces (there weren't good instructions for those either), but the owner showed up and got it going for us and showed us how to use them. Minor issues and certainly didn't interfere with our vacation. It's a great location for day trips. If you stay here, be sure to take the twisty road up to Melbourne - great views! Eat at "Keeping it Simple" restaurant next to the hardware store - GREAT food and very friendly people!

Excellant Accomodations

Like the owners of this Home, we have been coming to Mt. View for over 10 years. We love the relaxed pace of the town and its surrounding activities. Mellon"s Country Store is a definite MUST! This Vacation Home is everything it's description says and MORE! The Yellow Pine interior is beautiful and the layout of the Home is perfect for a family with kids or multiple couples. We booked it on a spur of the moment "get away". Since it was a late booking, we didn't expect to get "top of the line" accomodations. WOW! We were so lucky!! A family had been staying there for a week and had just left. The owners were so accomodating prepareing it for us. Beautiful view of the Sunset.We will definitely book again. You don't need to bring anything but yourselves! The rest is provided!!

Very quiet setting and great for relaxation. There were only two of us but house would be great for a family or 2 to 3 couples. Loved everything about the house but especially the 5 ft. jacuzzi tub. Stopped at a Whole Foods in Little Rock for groceries and cooked most of the meals in the house. Fell in love with the people and town of Mountain View, don't miss Jimmy Driftwood Barn for great local music on Friday and Sunday evening. Plenty of outside activities in the area (hiking, fishing, caves, etc.) Would definitely recommend this place and would love to go back some time.

We spent a weekend at the Twin Pines Lodge with quite a large group of friends and really enjoyed our time there. Very roomy and comfortable, and the kitchen is great for cooking! Thanks so much for providing all the little things that made us feel at home. My husband and I definitely plan to come back.

We met here for Thanksgiving coming from many directions. It was a lovely home, well appointed with a fabulous view. We enjoyed cooking and unwinding from our stressful lives in this great place. We'll be back.

WOW! What a beautiful place to stay. My 2 daughters and I went for the weekend and had a wonderful time. The house is so comfortable, like a home away from home, close to town and restaurants and just enough isolated. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Don't hesitate to reserve this one! You won't be disappointed.

The house was lovely, great view - especially from the loft area. Well appointed, we had everything we needed. The only problem was that it was a little hard to find, especially at night. It would help if you would put a sign for Twin Pines Lodge right on the road where you turn to go up the mountain.

What a wonderful cabin. So much better than the pictures. If you want to get away and relax this is the place to go. We can't wait to return. One of our best trips ever! The owners are so helpful and easy to contact. Better than any 5 star hotel. Thanks for everything.

Overall, a wonderful experience! The cabin is well appointed and is on an incredible site. Please be advised though that the satellite tv was not working during our stay...needed some type of software upgrade...It was not a problem for us, but might be upsetting to some of your guests.

Owner response:TV was working as next guest called and questioned the problem, TV must be on proper channel for sat. reception to work.

The place was beautiful. Everyone had a wonderful time and we enjoyed have this type of place for all of us to visit. It had been a year since we have been together. We hope to be able to return. I would recommend the place for a truly vacation and getting away from everything. Oleda Jones Sikeston, Missouri
