Absolutely beautiful house and we loved the location. Very peaceful but close to the lake.Loved that everyone had their own bedroom & plenty of bathrooms. Excellent communication with the home owner. We will definitely be back.
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!
We had a family wedding in nearby Monroe City, and we needed a place to stay. This place worked perfectly for us. We enjoyed the quiet setting. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. We were able to find everything we needed…including an iron and steamer for those dress clothes. We would definitely stay again!
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.
This was a perfect place to have a Summer Family gathering. The house was wonderfully designed and the host had the place extremely well supplied. There were also very accommodating to any questions or requests. We had very little contact with the host only because they ensured the wasnt a need. Even a game library-room contained games for every age from the youngest child to oldest adults and a variety of likes and skills.Loved the balcony overlooking the large yard area. Great for watching the birds, fireflies, bats, and even deer at one point. Place was close to Hannibal for sight seeing. And the beach at the lake.
Selah Cabin was a perfect place for our large family of twelve. The location is beautiful and so is the cabin. There were plenty of beds to sleep and space to spread out. The kids enjoyed playing pool downstairs and spending time outside. There is a vast grassy area to play or take a walk. Or relax on the upper deck or lower porch. I personally, enjoyed the porch swing in the evenings watching fireflies and listening to frogs. The host is very friendly, responsive, and thoughtful she even set up a crib for our toddler. Cabin was clean and bedding and towels were clean. It felt very welcoming. My family all loved Selah Cabin and wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend staying here!
We had 7 adults and 2 children. Great property. So much space. Very clean and anything you could need for a family weekend. We will stay here again in the future.
This is a perfect place for family and friends. Very spacious and fully stocked. We stayed here for the lake and wished we had more time just to spend at the cabin. Thank you for sharing this amazing cabin!
Awesome house that met all our needs during our stay. We grilled, played pool and enjoyed sitting on the spacious deck looking at the wildlife. Top notch!
Wonderful place to stay, wish we would have been staying there for longer than one night.
The one thing I would improve is putting the house number at the road so it’s a little easier to find, Apple Maps and Google Maps got us close but weren’t quite right.

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.
