Nice scenic view

Good location and very quiet with great views. Listed as a 2 bedroom and 2 bath. Actually, it was more like a 3 bedroom one bath as the second bathroom was in a separate building outside the main residence. We enjoyed the property very much

Location Amazing - Comfort Lacking

The location was amazing. Litterally on the river. Quite neighborhood within 15 minutes of everything the town had to offer. However, we ran into some comfort issues. The beds were very uncomfortable, which both adults ended up taking turns sleeping in the recliner. The HVAC systems were on the fritz and the first night was freezing and the remaining nights were hot. All but one the mini-split systems were throwing codes and not functional 90% of the time we were there.

Short Family Fishing Trip

We had a great few days in Murfreesboro. The location is beautiful and we walked just up the street to fish in the river. It was a relaxing stay and it was nice to be just a 10 minute drive from restaurants and groceries.

Relaxing stay on the river

I had a wonderful weekend on the Little Missouri River. The cabin was well maintained and had all the modern amenities. The bed was comfortable and there was ample furniture outdoors to enjoy the ambiance of the river. I chose to come to the area during the "off season" so that I did not have to deal with the tourism traffic which added to the quietness of the weekend. I highly recommend this location for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Relaxing and Peaceful

The cabin was perfect for our small family. It was clean and cozy and had everything we needed PLUS! My favorite spot was the swing overlooking the river. It was the perfect place to read, swing our infant son or watch our oldest son practice fishing in the river. While there is zero cell phone service at the cabin, the WiFi worked wonderfully. There are TVs in every room with the ability to stream. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this property.

Comfortable and Convenient

This lakeside cabin was a great location for our stay while hunting diamonds. Diamond hunting is what brought us to the area, but Lake Greeson was the true hidden gem! The cabin is a very short drive to the lake and we had a wonderful time on a guided fishing trip and we rented a pontoon for the afternoon. The inside of the cabin was very clean and the cabin was very well stocked with supplies (shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, trash bags, spices, coffee, hot chocolate etc…) The beds were comfortable. The detached mud room (with washer/dryer and bathroom) were very convent for after digging for diamond or being at the lake. We chose to always use that instead of coming into the cabin dirty. The location, convince and cleanliness of the inside of the cabin were wonderful. The outside area could use some spring cleaning. We were warned that copperheads were really bad currently, so I was nervous of the buildup of old dead leaves under, on, and around the porch. The piles of leaves and in the gutters may have been what was giving an unpleasant smell outback too after the rain. We didn’t allow this to stop us from using the very nice fire pit, we just used extra caution watching before stepping. The porch swing was very relaxing, just make sure to knock off the cushions on the furniture before sitting. There were a lot of spiders on the porch. Overall we enjoyed our stay. View updated checkout procedures on VRBO as they are different than in the cabin book.

Amazing Stay!

This place was just what we needed! Not too far from town, just enough to feel like you’re miles and miles away. Super quiet area. Friendly neighbors. Best of all, a great view of a beautiful river with ice cold water. The back porch was our favorite place. Thanks for letting us visit this little slice of Heaven.

Great place for family time!

We had a great time at the property! We came to fish, swim and relax and got to do all 3. The river was really low due to the dam malfunction but we still got in the water, just no actual floating down the river. The property was nice and maintained, however there was no toilet paper or paper towels on our arrival and there are 3 girls in our family 😂. Lucky I had a spare! The neighbors were nice and the property is easy to get to everything. Lake Greeson was great for swimming and minutes away! We dig for diamonds and visited Mt Ida for a 20 minute hike up to find crystals and it was worth it! In town we stopped for ice cream at the general store and it was delicious. We would stay again. One note, the book is not updated on phone numbers, so read your manuals for the air! Other than that issue which we figured out, the stay was great. Perfect for our family of 4.

If you are looking to slow down and relax, this is a good place. We spent most of our time on the porch watching the herons.

Relaxing time

This is a great get away for peace and quiet. Listening to the river in the mornings and sipping coffee was just what I needed for the weekend. The place is very clean and well stocked. The double bed was very comfortable, but the queen size bed could use an upgrade. I can’t comment on the comfort of the bunk beds as we didn’t need to use them. We would definitely stay again.

Quiet riverside retreat

Pros: exceptional communication with owner who was quite responsive to special request. Minor issue was immediately resolved. Cons: Listing was misleading and second bathroom is noted as in the mud room. Having to exit the house to use the bathroom was uncomfortable. It was a nice bathroom but having to go outside was unexpected. Overall would recommend for a quiet and peaceful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rodney Owen

This property is owned by two families that enjoy a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of schedules. While one family has adult children and enjoys fishing and all things wildlife and rustic, the other family has small children and enjoys exposure new things and slow pace of life that home doesn’t allow with schedules. This home when practicing river safety for adults and children is the perfect home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Walking distance to the city park for public fishing, swimming access if you chose not to access in the backyard. Approximately 8 miles away to Crater of Diamonds State Park. Minutes to Water Park, Ka-Do-Ha Indian Village Museum, and across from Lake Greeson Marina on Hwy 19 N.
