About this property

Quiet Shell River Cabin with Sauna

Our Cozy little cabin is the perfect getaway for all seasons. The sauna is an extra treat. The property is close to the tiny town of Osage and the Smokey Hills State Forest. The Shell River runs through the property providing the perfect relaxing background at the campfire. The large oaks provide beautiful green shade in the summer, an array of orange & yellow in the fall and a beautiful place for the frost and snow to settle in the winter.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This little cabin had an awesome movie selection and a really well stocked kitchen. We loved the dog-friendliness and the fire pit! Everything was clean, comfy, and convenient. I do wish that more of the windows had curtains. Overall very highly recommend this property!

Everything about the cabin was well thought out. Very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed being able to have a fire outside because the weather was perfect for it! Great selection of movies! We loved all of the light the windows let in and the coziness of the cabin. Just what we wanted to come back to after hiking!

The Perfect Getaway! We spent lots of time in the beautiful autumn weather taking in fall colors in the surrounding state parks. Don’t miss The Lost Forty and the Mississippi Headwaters. Returning to our little cabin in the woods felt like a hug each evening when we returned. Small and well-thought out, Shell Cabin had everything you need without a lot of clutter. A grade on this VRBO!

So sorry you didn’t fully enjoy our little cabin. We do prefer to keep our window views open so we can wake with the sun. We know that there is no one near that would bother to look into the high windows. I will consider purchasing some pull down shades.
