This place is special. Everything is perfect for enjoying time with family or friends in the country. Our host,Amber could not have been nicer! I usually don't write out reviews on rentals, but this one deserves it.

This was our second stay, and it was just as great as the first time! Plenty of room to play, huge TVs for family movie night, and a well equipped kitchen for serving meals. Thank you!

What a great place! It rained half the time we were there, yet there was plenty of room to hang out inside, play cornhole and watch movies. We loved our overnight stay and look forward to returning.

We had a great stay here! Perfect place for a weekend get away. A quick drive to the marina and having the stocked pond was entertainment for the evening! Great and responsive hosts as well, highly recommend!

This was a wonderful property! New farmhouse with a pond and woods. The house was very comfortable and the game room was a game changer. We stayed with our grandkids and we loved playing the games together. Now we have some awesome memories! We will definitely come back when we visit our family

More clarity that pond is only catch and release in the listing. Had hoped to catch a few fish for dinner. House was amazing. Really enjoyed some downtime and it was very quiet. It was nice to be able to park in the garage. Would be a great place for family gathering also with that space.

We stayed here with our boys while my husband got his CDL at Ross Enterprises. The game area in the garage was a nice touch and we enjoyed the large jenga game! The kitchen had everything we needed including spices and oil. The grill and back patio was great and has a private setting. We enjoyed the wood stove and also the large garage door connecting the living area to the garage. Beautiful place....Everything was very clean and tidy!

My family of 8 came and stayed here for 2 nights while boating at Mark Twain Lake. We absolutely loved this house and it was so close to the marina. This house was very clean with extra supplies, soap, towels etc. and we thank you for that. The open concept with the garage was also a great hang out for my kids and the pond out front was used to go fishing with my daughter early morning. I wish we could of stayed longer. We will definitely be back next year.

We loved this property. The kids loved playing in the garage with the Shuffle Board and connect 4. We played bocce ball outside and enjoyed fishing at the small pond. Very clean house and loved the style of the house—even better in person! Kitchen was well supplied.Thanks so much!
