About this property

Ellen's Log Cabin with Hot Tub ~ Located Minutes From The Upper Meramec River

Ellen's log cabin is 2 and a half story's. It starts with a large covered porch that looks over the valley, a great place for your morning coffee. Walk into the living room with a cathedral ceiling and stairs that lead to the loft. The loft is where the master bedroom is located with an en suite bathroom. Back to the first floor is a full kitchen with a large walk out deck that is actually in the trees. This deck has a large table for outdoor eating and charcoal BBQ grill for grilling. Remember to bring charcoal and lighter fluid. The lower floor has 2 bedrooms, family room (which doubles as another private bedroom) and full bathroom. From the family room you walk out to a private lower deck with a hot tub and seating. A fire pit is in the back yard surrounded by woods, very private. Do not worry about where to buy the wood for your fire, we provide it with your cabin.
We rent Ellen's by the bedrooms needed. The more guest, the more bedrooms set up with linens and towels. You do not share the cabin with strangers. The rate you see here is one of our seasonal rates for a couple. Additional guest is $25. per guest per night. We offer the couple rate so, a couple can come and stay without paying for all the bedrooms.

The cabin was very clean and well furnished with modern appliances and bathrooms. Peaceful, private and quiet location. Everything worked flawlessly! The hot tub was clean and very relaxing. Exactly what we wanted. Went to Steelville for dinner about 10 minutes away and had a Jam Burger at Rich's Famous Burgers. Owner is very accessible and attentive as well! Would definitely book again! Thanks Cindy!

The cabin was stunning, even looked better than the photos. The hot tub was much larger than the one in the photos and was amazing. We absolutely loved it and plan on coming back annually.

The living room fan and beams were full of dust. When you turn on the fan the room became dusty and causing an allergic reaction. The rest of the house was great.Too many steps for old people..I think I left my small jewelry bag in one of the drawers downstairs.

Family reunion

Rented this cabin due to the family being too large to stay at the family house. We were definitely the lucky ones! Got to come back to a/c!! Only have window units at the family house. Very clean, location was perfect, only 8 minutes from the rest of the family.

Beautiful location

The home was beautiful. As far as some of the reviews talking about little critters, they are there, but you are also in a wooded area. I very much appreciated the wood that was supplied and the other littlethings. I hope to book another stay oon.

Amazing weekend getaway

The location of this cabin was amazing. It was clean and tidy. My only complaint was the host only opened one room (the others were locked). It was myself and a friend on a girls weekend. From my understanding, you had to pay an extra fee for other rooms. I asked for 2 rooms but but never heard anything from the host.
