I has an incredible vista of the Gasconade River as it flows though Ozark valleys. Fresh air and plenty of places to explore.

The cabin was clean and stocked with plenty of games, blankets, and anything you could need. The beds were very comfortable. The view is stunning. We will be coming back in the fall, just for the view.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a great little vacation for us to take our almost 2 year old daughter to, and our dog. It was a comfy place with a great view. Outdoor activities in the area were fun and relaxing. We had fun!

It is a beautiful property, we had a great time. Secluded and very peaceful. Despite the summer heat, the AC works great even though we spent the majority of the weekend outside enjoying the property and time on the river.Kathy was a great help directing us to the property and was available if we needed any help, but thankfully the house is so well equipped that we really didn't need any. We are looking forward to coming back, hopefully soon.

Great get-away cabin!

My sisters and I took our mother on a trip to the Rolla and Fort Leonard Wood area where she lived long ago. The cabin was about a 40 minute drive from these locations. What a fabulous spot! Gorgeous view of the Gasconade River and bluffs off of the deck! Heather shared some interesting historical details about the property which we talked about all weekend. Clean, inviting and plenty of room for our group. Loved the cabin!

Beautiful View

The view and the surroundings make this cabin worth the trip! Quiet, secluded spot in the hills above a river valley. I couldn't get enough of soaking in that view and listening to the silence. It was a great get-away for our teens, who loved hiking the trails and exploring. We did have to do some shopping to get essentials like napkins and dish detergent, and the cabin was not as thoroughly clean as other places we've stayed at. But we greatly enjoyed our time there, and overall, would recommend it.

Three days on a beautiful bluff

We loved the spectacular views from the bluff house. We watched the morning sun burn away the fog in the river valley below, and the large birds below gliding on the updrafts. We walked the short path to the bench on the natural point below and marveled at the pastoral beauty of the pastures of green below, spotted with contented cattle. We drove a couple miles to the Clifty Creek trail and explored the natural bridge. In the evening we gathered around the campfire, if full view of the scene below, and reflected on the day. The house was clean and well stocked, and Tom and Kathy were excellent hosts. We will be back.

17th Wedding Anniversary Weekend and Float

This property was perfect for us. It is nothing fancy and frilly just a quiet secluded low key cabin. The cabin is older but the location and host make this place what it is. The view is amazing and the host are super sweet, helpful and friendly. The house is well stocked to meet all your needs. We loved the fire pit and supplied firewood to enjoy our evenings. Due to the secluded location groceries/gas station are a 20+ minute drive but we enjoyed this because we took the back roads to enjoy the beauty of the place. Another couple joined us for a float on the Big Piney and Gasconade Rivers and stayed one night with us. There was plenty of space in the cabin for all of us. The history of the cabin and property was fun to hear about from the owner and made our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to go back someday!

Great place! Cozy cabin with beautiful view of the river valley. Host was very responsive and helpful with ideas to help us enjoy the grounds, river, and nearby trails/scenery. We brought some food with us, which was nice to not have to run to the grocery store first thing since it is not too far but a drive into town. Would like to return with the family again soon!

This is truly the perfect place to unplug & reset. It is absolutely beautiful! The seclusion/privacy is fantastic! Even our little dogs had the best time. The nearby (1 mile)Clifty creek area is amazing! We walked the regular hiking trails at the preserve & then walked upstream from the road. The scenery is breathtaking & we even got to watch a little otter family play. The host is wonderful! The water heater elements went out on our 2nd day & she was able to quickly get a plumber out while we were out hiking. This cabin was very well stocked. We cooked most of our meals there. It is about 20-25 minutes to the nearest grocery store. I made good use of the hammock that is there as well. There are several low water crossings for anyone that might be in a low profile car. We have a sport SUV & didn’t have any difficulty with the roads. I wish we lived closer. I would definitely be a regular visitor. Sadly it’s a good 12 hour drive for us as we live in West Texas. This property is truly a treasure!

Great weekend for my husband & I (plus two dogs!). The view was beautiful, the cabin had everything we needed, our only complaint was our weekend was too short ;) We loved our visit and would definitely come back!
