We had everything we needed while staying at Jimmy's cabin! The extra air conditioner for the upstairs loft cooled the area quickly. Really appreciated the ease of using that!! This unique cabin is less than 25 minutes from Sunburst Ranch--HIGHLY recommend their float trip experience! You also have a 10 minute drive to the Northfork Recreational access. The cabin itself is incredibly peaceful and accommodating for our group of six! Thank you to Mike and his family for an amazing experience in the Mark Twain National Forest!

This place is amazing, warm, cozy and in a beautiful setting. Mike was a great host and I loved his place. I was there on a hunting trip and 1000's of acres of beautiful Mark Twain National Forest abuts the property. Lots of wildlife and North Fork of the White River is only 3 miles away. It's a true nature lover's perfect place.

We absolutely adore Jimmy's cabin and consider it one of our favorite getaways. This was our second visit, and we're already eagerly planning our third! It's the perfect sanctuary to unwind from city life, as all stress simply melts away upon arrival. The cabin is thoughtfully stocked with every imaginable item, from kitchen essentials to board games. The tranquil outdoor space offers breathtaking views and is conveniently located just minutes from Mark Twain National Forest. This place is absolutely fantastic, a must-visit! Thank you again for yet another incredible stay!

Quiet, clean, and close to river

The stay was beautiful and very clean. Beds were comfortable. Suggest bringing a fan to push air to upstairs loft. 10/10 recommend and will be back. Teenagers even had a good time!

Peaceful, Secluded Weekend

This property was excellent. We went for a weekend float trip at nearby North Fork River. The cabin offered just the right amount of creature comforts with all the benefits of being in nature. It was clean, cool, and the hosts were very communicative. Would definitely go back if we find ourselves in the area again.

Perfect Family Getaway

The cabin was well decorated, comfortable and clean. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. The pellet grill was easy to use and worked great. We even saw a flying squirrel while hanging out on the fro t porch one evening. This is a good location for fishing or floating the North Fork of the White River.

Great weekend in the woods

I took my son up for the youth turkey weekend. I chose Mike's cabin due to its proximity to the public hunting land. The cabin is fully furnished and has some very comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay. P.S. My 10-year-old harvested his first turkey on our trip.
