We had a great stay at the Muleshoe Cottage. A very cozy setting with a great view that looks out of the Bryant Creek and some of the best views you will find in the Ozarks!

Thank you for the kind review! So glad you enjoyed your stay!
Secluded charming cabin with a river view and three outdoor porches. Excellent furnishings and kitchen is nicely appointed. Very quiet. No Wi-Fi, but a great selection of DVDs for both children and adults. Bring your gamesmanship if you like darts or foosball.
Everything was 5 star except no bathroom on main floor and stairs going up or down were difficult for us because we are old! No fault of the host.

Thank you for your review! I appreciate how well taken care of everything was after checkout - you guys really went above and beyond! I hope you enjoyed your stay and we'd love having you back anytime.
My family stayed in this cabin over memorial weekend. The host was exceptional at providing us directions and making sure we got to the property OK due to excess rain and flooding in the area. We had no issues and I was very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The cabin was actually bigger than it looked in the pictures! We had a couple family members that came by for a visit. There was plenty of room to hang out for the evening. And…I can’t say enough about the decor — it was beyond cozy, artistic, and quaint! Seriously, we were blown away! Everyone in our family enjoyed the stay. We made a meal in the kitchen and even got to make s’mores at the fire pit. All necessary kitchen equipment was provided. The beds were comfy too! I HIGHLY recommend this cabin. You will not be disappointed!!

Hey! I'm Kaitlin and I've lived and worked all over the Ozarks for 20 years. I love concerts, shopping at hole-in-the-wall vintage stores, and traveling any chance I can take.
Why they chose this property
My family and I love coming to this area to float and hang out at the river. If you want a laid-back scene with great fishing spots, the Bryant is a perfect choice. If you're looking for a party and little livlier time, North Fork River access and outfitters are less than 5 miles down the road.
What makes this property unique
Muleshoe Cottage is a modified A-Frame on a high hillside overlooking the river. The two-story deck and multi-level layout make it a cozy choice to hang out and spend time with friends and family after being on the river all day. Both bedrooms are located in the east side of the house - waking up to the sunrise over the water with all of the trees around is a beautiful way to start your day!
