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.

Host was attentive as needed and amenities were great! It was wonderful that wood was supplied, however, it would have been nice if it was closer to the fire pit. Cabin was very clean and comfy and cozy as well as spacious enough for 6 ladies to enjoy a great time.
This cabin is great! Very clean, roomy, has everything you need for a longer stay. My best friend and I had a friend-cation here for several days. The location is perfect, it's close to several parks and springs.It was great to be out all day then come home, rest my weary bones in that (amazing!) hot tub, cook a quick dinner and curl up onthe couch with a movie (they have a roku). The cabin is close to town, but has the feel of being in the middle of nowhere, its the best of both worlds. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the hosts for having such a great property!
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.
Very clean and spacious! We are a family of 7 plus we brought our pup and had plenty of room! Beautiful wooded area with a hot tub and deck that over looks it!
I was very impressed on how nice this cabin was. Its a great deal if you stay in the area. I would highly recommend!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
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.
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.
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.
