Our annual mom tribe trip was a success once again. This was the first year we rented the Driftwood Lodge instead of Hawk’s Nest. We love this cabin !!! It had an extra room and bathroom for our group. It was very clean, cozy and a true cabin feel. The fire pit is amazing and thankful for the extra chairs in the covered storage area. Will be back to Driftwood next year.

Family vacation

We had a great stay at the lodge. We had everything we needed. The property is right on the river and we were able to make good use of the inflatables there. Jan was very responsive to all my questions.

Great for large group

May seem trivial to some, but we Really liked that there were fans in the bedrooms. Huge dining area, and patio / deck spaces. AC kept it very cold. Everything was clean and in good working order. Bed in master was comfy!

Girls Weekend Getaway

Second time staying here, and we will definitely be coming back again! LOVED spending 2 days just sitting in the water watching all the floaters going by. The house is always clean and has so much room for our group of ladies! Jan is ALWAYS so kind and very quick in responding! One of our Favorite Happy Places!

Above Expectation!

Jan was wonderful! She was very helpful and great communication! The home had everything we needed. The whole area is very friendly! We had 10 people in our group, 4 adults and 6 kids ages 6-14, and was enough room for us all and more! We hope to visit again!

Perfect place to stay for a large group. Plenty of space, kitchen adequately stocked, very easy booking and check-in/out process. The only drawback is the air conditioning situation. There are several mini splits throughout but only 2 of them work properly. We also rented the Red Cabin along with Driftwood and found the same situation. Still worth 5 stars based on everything else.

Great place for multiple couples to gather

House dishes and appliances were a little dusty so we cleaned before use. Jan was very helpful and easy to work with. She even brought us ice because there wasn't an icemaker. Would definitely recommend this property!

Clean, Fun, Friendly Times!

We had three families with 5 adults and 6 kids. Plenty of space, very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the patio and fire pit. Kids had a great time walking to the river and using their provided walking sticks. Jan and her Dad were very helpful in providing information and recommendations about floating and equipment rental. We will definitely stay there again! Jeff

A great place for a family gathering

We stayed here for a couple nights and a planned float trip. The weather did not cooperate so we just hung out and enjoyed the great space we had. There was a lot of room and a well stocked kitchen. We barbecued did puzzles and played games. The kids walked to the boat ramp and fished for awhile when there was a break in the weather. The house had everything as listed on vrbo. I would recommend this property and hopefully we can return to do our float trip.

Perfect holiday getaway

Great property. As described. Owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Lots of room for our family consisting of 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 teens. Kitchen was huge and well equipped with new appliances. Bedrooms and living areas were comfortable, clean and spacious. The property is gorgeous and very secluded, but very easy to find, and close to town should you need anything. We would love to come back during the summer to take advantage of the river and gravel bar for swimming.

Wonderful getaway escape!

We booked this weekend knowing that the traditional hotels and places to stay would be booked for the graduation weekend. The 30 min drive to Rolla was really worth it! Our entire family got to spread out in very clean and comfortable rooms and come together in the huge dining room and numerous living rooms. We played cards, had some beautiful hikes and still had plenty of time to get to the afternoon graduation. Thank you for helping make this an even more memorable weekend for our family. We Love your home!

Perfect retreat for bridesmaids!

We chose this beautiful lodge for the bridesmaids and prep spot for the bride! It worked out so perfectly as absolutely huge with three bathrooms and massive kitchen and living areas for visiting. The care taker, Herkley deserves 15 stars! He was incredibly helpful and responsive before and during the stay.we super appreciated how easy it was for us! The back decks are just gorgeous. The girls had coffee on them each morning and the relaxing atmosphere was absolutely perfect for the bride getting ready for her big day!!! Our spouses got so jealous of how awesome it was I have no doubt we will all be back again. Beautiful space, hidden among the woods and a great caretaker to help with anything you need! Thank you so much for making our weekend perfect. See you soon!

Amazing and historic cabin in the woods

I cannot say enough about how amazing this stay was!!! Everything was great from start to finish. Jan met us at the house to let us in and show us around. She was kind and so knowledgeable. They knew we were all gathering to celebrate a late friend holiday in January and they put up a Christmas tree and Christmas Decor to make our weekend more festive! They filled the bird feeders and provided us with the opportunity to bird watch right from the deck, and even provided a telescope and bird books to help us out. The cabin was spacious and well kept! Clean and cozy. The beds were Comfortable with good sheets. They provided all the basic needs we required for our stay. The grounds were beautiful and right on the river! They even provided walking sticks for our journey (which came in handy). The town of Steelville was like a tiny gem and we enjoyed going to the restaurant there and felt very welcomed. We had an issue with a frozen pipe due to the icy cold conditions in January, but Jan responded within 10 minutes and had a repairman out, in the middle of the night!! I was so overly impressed!!! I can’t recommned this place more! Such a great property, town, and owners. We definitely plan to visit again during the warmer months.

The property needs to update the pictures. The house is cuter than what is currently posted. It was perfect for our weekend get away. It’s super close to town also if you need anything. We had everything we needed for the weekend. The gravel bar is amazing to hang out in/on. We did end up floating on one of the hottest days this yr. The bus picked us up from the house and dropped us back off after the float. Easy peasy !!!
