This place was the perfect choice for my husband, my dog, and myself. We stayed 4 nights and none of us wanted to leave but we do hope to return! We explored the surrounding areas of Missouri but mostly we hung out and explored the land the cabin was on. The peace, the quiet, the solitude, and the surroundings made it perfect. The spring daffodils, redbuds, irises, and ALL the wildflowers were just peeking out despite the cool temperatures. The clear spring has a small cascade as it flows to the small pond near the cabin that was very tranquil sounding. We fished at the big pond but despite a bite with every cast of my fishing pole, I was rusty and didn't manage to catch anything. There is a road to the big pond but recent rains made the road a little tricky while we were there but no matter, we hiked to the big pond. It was quite a hike uphill, and reminded me I am not getting any younger, but SO worth it! The large pond isn't pictured as I recall; it is much larger than the pond at the cabin and its surrounded by private woods. We found the canoe at the big pond as well as the one down at the river. Saving that for next time when its warmer. It was like living in our own private park for a few days, and that's just the outside. The cabin was amazing. The property owner's have taken great care in the details of the structure as well as the amenities. It was very cozy and comfortable. I loved all the textile choices and there were interesting books, movies, and games. We made an attempt at 1000 piece puzzle we brought but since we spent so much time outside enjoying the natural area, we didn't get that done. Our dog, who is a turbo charged youngster, even had SO much fun running carefree that she was a little tired. Ok, she was exhausted but she will never admit that! If you are bringing a dog or dogs, I'd suggest to use your leash at night. Pepper bolted after some deer in the darkness which scared them AND me. Better and safer for all involved to use your leash at night. Our hosts were helpful when I asked if I could add 2 more nights to the reservation and made that a smooth transaction. Mike called the following morning to check that we arrived safely and make sure we didn't have any questions after our first night there. We had everything we needed and discovered so much about this area of Missouri. Thank you to the Fleming's for sharing this property with us!!!
