Nice place to lay your head.

This cabin was probably built in the 70s or early 80s based on the decor, but it was clean, comfortable, has the washer/dryer and dishwasher which was a blessing.

Bluebird

Grass hadn’t been mowed & was stuff under the beds & in the drawers
Stayed 3 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jun 2025
Thank you very much for staying at our Bluebird Cabin. We have a contract mowing company that mows the grass every week or so, but anyone from mid-Missouri knows that you would have to go back 20 years or more to find the month of May with more rain than we have had this year. The grass grows like crazy and its often too wet to cut, so the mowing companies have a very hard time keeping up. Thanks for letting us know about the items that were left behind in the drawers. Our cleaning person cleans right after guests checkout, and then she checks all cabins again on the morning before new guests check-in. We sincerely apologize for the items that our cleaning personnel did not find and remove.

Beautiful spot

My family and I rented the Bluebird Cabin for 4 days. It was a dream! It’s close to trout fishing, swimming, floating, and many other things. We even got rained out and still had a blast. It’s a great place to go to unplug as there is no service except for WiFi but honestly, who needs a phone when you’re busy having so much fun. If anyone is in the area and needs a safe place to stay, I’d definitely recommend Corky and Cathy. They’re great hosts and their properties are stunning. We We will definitely be back.

Cute Cabin in the Woods

My 15 year old put down his phone and went outside and roamed the woods and creek bed. He said "We should have brought my friends." Enough said.

Good but Not Great

The house/cabin was functional for what we needed but can definitely use some cleaning. We had several mice hiding under the bed and found droppings in the utensil and cook wares. I probably won't stay again. But if it was a fishing trip or roughing it kind of setting - then it'd be adequate.

Very fun, nature retreat

We had a great time staying here. Our group of 7 had plenty of space. We loved the fire pit and spent most of the time around the fire. The cell reception is non existent there, but the wifi works well. Getting to town for supplies is just a short drive and their recommendation for Adventure Outdoors for a float trip was great. Overall, great experience.

Good Cabin Stay

Cabin was just what we expected. There were some cleanliness aspects that could have been addressed before our stay, but for the most part it looks as it does online and worked perfect for our float trip weekend.

Nice set up, but needs updating

Nice set up with three cabins clustered together, each with a nice, individual outdoor area, but within an easy walk of each other. Cabin needs updated and wasn’t the cleanest. Suited our needs. (Do note in the owners instructions, toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags need to be brought to the cabin).

The wifi was terrible we just played board games no TV watched a few dvds that was provided. Overall the stay was great. Just lack of television or wifi connection I think that wifi should be taken off the listing. Thank you

We have the fastest internet service we can get at the cabin location from CenturyLink, however it is still not very fast at all and not intended to be able to stream movies.. However, it is usually plenty fast for sending emails, surfing the net, etc. HOWEVER, the dsl modem is actually in the next door cabin, and we have had a wifi extender is this cabin for the past two years that has worked great to get decent wifi/internet in this cabin. We have just checked the cabin and found that the wifi extender is missing from this cabin - either stolen or broken by a guest and thrown away, we don't know what happend to it. So we have just ordered another extender and will install it as soon as we get it.

Cute cabin but it was squeaky

The cabin was cute. Location was nice and quite. The beds were not very comfortable and the floors squeaked alot. Difficult to sleep at night when you could hear every movement. We were a group of 6 family and friends that went on a float trip. AC worked great. The internet was not very good. There was no cell phone service.

Will stay again

This is a secluded cabin at the end of a dirt road with 2 other cabins. I was a perfect size for our family. With our daughter going to Missouri S&T this will be our go to place in the future. It was 20 minutes from campus.
