We had a good time we cried we laughed. It was very emotional for us cause that’s where us. Kids grew up at. but it was very fun very relaxing. It always was thank you
We had a great stay. Plenty of room for everyone and not too far from Mark Twain Lake. Nice porch overlooking the field. Saw deer and a fox while were sipping coffee. Would recommend!
Amazing property. Very accomodating and comfortable. Everything we could have needed was there. The kids loved the pool table and the yard. Wish we could have stayed longer! The perfect VRBO for families.

About the host
Hosted by Rachel
We are an active family of 12. We love showing hospitality, cooking and smoking different foods, working outdoors, and singing together.
Why they chose this property
From the property, you would never guess we are less than a half mile from Hwy 24/36. It is so relaxing to sit under the walnut trees playing horse shoes or corn hole, or to sit on the porches watching deer or birds cross the field, or to watch a glorious sunrise from either of the eastern-facing bedrooms.
What makes this property unique
We like to think of this house as a place to stop and rest from the busyness of everyday life. Whether you need space to spend some quiet time thinking or want a place for some family fun, we hope you’ll be comfortable here.
