About this property
Unique Secluded House Wi-Fi National Forest border Pet Friendly
Unique, secluded house bordered by the Mark Twain National Forest on the east and south. No visible neighbors. Walk out to hike or hunt. Enjoy peace and quiet with all the amenities, including wi-fi and cell phone service. Pets are welcome. Large yard with a fire pit and firewood. The North Fork River is just a short drive down the road. There are many nearby hiking trails, river accesses and historic mills to explore.
This house has many steps and due to the unique shaped bedroom doors, privacy curtains are used instead of solid doors. The pullout bed is a single bed located in the living room.
The fully equipped modern kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. A barbecue grill is available for outdoor cooking, bring your own briquets and starter fluid.
Sit on the deck or around the fire pit and listen for woodpeckers during the day and owls in the evening.
Both bedrooms have queen beds with privacy curtains.
The study has a desk, electric fireplace and chairs.
The large living room has plenty of seating, a dining area, single pull out sofa bed, television with Roku box, games and a Sonos wireless speaker.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Collins
I have lived in the Dora area most of my life. I love the Ozarks! I manage the Dora Historian social media page that features history, genealogy, and photography from this region. I enjoy hiking, mushroom hunting, camping, fishing and hanging out at the river.
