Cabin on Current River in Doniphan, MO

Bruce and Sheri were very welcoming to their beautiful cabin on the scenic Current River. Built on a quiet, rural, woodsy lot and set up on a hill overlooking a meadow and the sparkling river, the house was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Plan to fix your own meals because it takes nearly half an hour to drive into town and part of the trip is over a fairly rough gravel road. For those who treasure peace and quiet, and a vacation from technology (no internet and cell service is spotty), you will enjoy this lovely retreat. Each bedroom has a very comfy bed, bathrooms are up to par and hot water is plentiful, and the kitchen has all the pots, pans and gadgets you will need. We were six adults but kept admiring the upstairs sleeping loft and play area, and often remarked that it would be a paradise for kids. We walked down to the river and spent hours sunbathing and swimming in the clear waters of the Current, and took canoeing and float trips a couple of days. Bring along your sunscreen! The house has a nice deck and we had a lot of fun watching the hummingbirds fight over the feeder. In the evenings we played Clue and card games and slept like logs after spending the days in the fresh air. I’m sure it’s beautiful, too, in the fall when all the leaves are turning. Thanks, guys!

This cabin was awesome. It was a great place for the family to get away and unwind!

This property has it all. The cabin was fully stocked and fit our group of 10 well. The road to the cabin is really off the beaten path, a small car might not fair so well. We brought 4wheelers and a golf cart to make carting things down to the river quick. Lots of trails to ride in the Mark Twain Forest (bring ypur GPS with you on the ride). No cell service which was a true joy to be able to actually talk to the kids. Bring some dvds and board games for late night entertainment. The access to the river was great, it had a huge gravel bar. Set up your pop up canopy and some coolers and hang out down there. We floated once with Rocky River Floats, a 6 mile float took us 4.5 hours. Then we floated another day on our own, we put in off some road off O highway and floated back to the house, an easy 2 hour float. You could also float from the house to Deer Leap, probably a 3 hour float. I hope you enjoy your stay at Bruce's cabin, we will be back very soon.

We had four families meet at the cabin for a small family reunion weekend. We had plenty of room, the kids had plenty of room to play inside and out! Short drive/walk to the beautiful river and a large rock bar. We had all the necessities we needed. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend and we can't wait to go back.

The cabin had everything we needed and we didn’t need to ask for anything. The views of the river and fields made our afternoons relaxing on the deck worth the trip.
