Great

The property was great! The cabin waas so cute and clean in a secluded area outside Eminence There was the cutest outpost on site ran by owners so if you want a drink, ice cream, pizza, or snack you didn't have to drive into town. The owners were very nice and had quick communication. We will be back.

Beautiful Ozarks

The cabin was secluded but with help not too far away since the owners live on the property up the hill. The cabin is cute as a button seemed to have just about everything you would need to stay other than food and your personal things. Look forward to coming back.

It was a good experience overall! We really liked the back porch and fire pit set up. The location is set back in the woods which provided the privacy and quiet that we wanted. The beds were comfortable and the size of the bathroom was appreciated! The hosts were responsive and nice. We had some furry visitors at times in the form of dogs and a kitten. They were so sweet and polite beggars too. My dad fell in love with the kitten. Our only big complaint was the lack of privacy inside the house with the odd, sliding barn style doors. You could see through cracks in the doors at night and into the bathroom from the kitchen, even with the bathroom door "closed". We would stay here again, but probably not with another couple soley due to the lack of privacy inside.

Slice of heaven

Our stay was wonderful. The peace and tranquility of this place allows you to decompress completely. The spirit of the Lord resides here. The horses were beautiful and even the snow that fell was like God dressing the trees. We can't wait to return! The owner stayed in contact throughout our stay and the caretaker Adam was very accommodating!

Great cabin getaway

My college buddies and I were looking for a cabin to stay in for our annual get together while we kayaked on the Current River, and this cabin was fantastic. The owners were very welcoming, and the cabin was very nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners, Lisa and Scott, went above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip and gave us recommendations on things to do and how to navigate around the area. We really enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful place to stay. The Ranch House was just like the pics on the website. I loved being able to bring my own food in and cook instead of eating out all the time. I will drive back.

The perfect cabin

We had a great week at the cabin. From the moment we checked in, the hosts were helpful and communication was great. It was clean and had everything we needed for our week-long stay. We enjoyed the extra space to relax after a day floating on the river. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials for the many meals we prepared. Bonus points for having hookups on property for the family that joined us, in their RV. We look forward to returning for future trips!
