The Cottage at Ozark Highlands Farm

Our hand-built stone cottage is rustic, simple, straight-forward, and perfect for those seeking a stress-free short getaway from city living or for longer term lodging (that comes with a significant discount.)

PLEASE NOTE: I cannot accommodate any animals inside the house. Because we are a working farm, there will sometimes be farm activities going on while guests are here; and a few people, including my handyman & my part-time caretaker, as well as my husband and I may come and go discreetly as we take care of the land and the animals.The nearest neighbor is a long stone's throw away, so the peace, quiet, and beauty of this farm will gently roll away the demand and stresses of life.

With 4 beds and 1 bathroom, we can comfortably accommodate 4 people, however, for families or groups that don't mind close quarters, we have two cots, so we can adapt to six people in a pinch. (Keep in mind that this is a former hunting cabin - very comfortable, but not luxurious.) There is good wifi and a smart TV.

An efficient kitchen allows you to create custom meals – be warned - it has a lower than normal ceiling (about 7'.) The spacious loft has two twin beds w/ room for two airbeds - note: it is accessed by a steep, narrow, low-clearance stairway. There are two steps up into both the bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom has a shower – no tub.

A most interesting, fun time to visit The Cottage is during our annual spring kidding season when the fields are literally "jumping" with baby goats. Normally kidding occurs during May and June.

Ask about our discount for active clergy & military personnel. We are located just off of I-44 south and east of Carthage – due east of Joplin, with easy access to area attractions (complete directions will be given after booking. )
