Thank you so much for trusting us again. I kinda got confused as to who was returning. You’re our 1st guests we had at the property. The group that gets together every year to float and golf. I wish you had better weather, but I know you enjoyed each other regardless. Thanks again for choosing Christie

This place was amazing. Everything was better than advertised. The porch, firepit, grill veiw and house were great. We went floating at Blue Spring Ranch which is just couple minutes down the road. I believe me and the wife spent most of our time in the porch swing. Only suggestion I would make is if you like sleeping with a fan on you as I do. Maybe bring one for the mater bed room. All the other rooms had ceiling fans. Thats just my personal preference though. The wife was happy I didnt have one freezing here out lol.

If I could leave 10 stars, I would!! This place is truly a safe haven and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. The real hidden gem is the host! Miss Christie and Mr Tracey are incredible people with huge hearts! They were there for us in every way and welcomed us as family when we needed it. If you stay anywhere in all of Missouri, choose this beautiful little cottage. It’s truly a home away from home!

We had a fantastic stay. The chateau was clean, spacious, and well stocked. Our kids especially enjoyed fishing on the pond on the property. Our hosts communicated ahead of time to answer our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. A few days after our trip, our two year old asked when we were going back to the "other house" - answer: soon!
