We had a wonderful experience staying at Sweeten Creek Cabin. Alice was a very good communicator and gave us helpful directions, providing additional information to help us find the cottage, which is located in a more rural area. In addition, Alice provided some special and thoughtful surprises to welcome us, specific to the occasion which brought us to the area.

It was cozy and perfect! The hostess was fantastic with communication and she had thought of literally everything! The house was warm and cozy upon our rainy arrival with homemade cookies awaiting us. There were extra toiletries in case we had forgotten anything and a lovely coffee/tea bar set up. We will definitely stay here again!

We have enjoyed the beauty of the Ozarks for the last 25 years. The people here are friendly and everything moves at a much more relaxed pace.

Why they chose this property

This is a great place to explore the outdoors and many activities available from hiking, fishing, hunting, canoeing or just even relaxing while traveling. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch while watching wildlife in the valley field across from the cabin. Benches convert to a picnic table for those grilled burgers and hot dogs or enjoy hours in the evening playing a variety of games such as checkers, monopoly, yahtsee or uno.

What makes this property unique

Choice of gas grill or park style charcoal grill.
