NEW! Village of Hope - Cabin #1

This is a very cute and fun little 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin located in the Ozark hills! It is part of a group of 6 cabins (with plans for 6 more) called "Village of Hope". All of the cabins have been built since 2008 and they all have modern amenities including electricity, hot water, toilets, showers, WiFi, and both heating and air conditioning. All of the cabins also have a microwave, small refrigerator, and a coffee pot.
The cabins are on the grounds of a Christian family camp, so there are some special rules. Please note the "Policies and Rules" for this property accordingly.
The ministry directors check-in guests in person. They also live on the grounds of the property and are readily available to address any issues or questions that may arise.
The cabins are outside of Ava, Missouri in a very rural environment in the beautiful hills of the Ozark Mountains. They are about a 10-minute drive from Ava. Ava is a quaint, older town of around 2,500 residents with a charming collection of unique shops, cafes, and restaurants. The people in the area are extremely friendly and tourists are very welcome all over town.

The cabins are less than a 10-minute drive from entry into the gorgeous Mark Twain National Forest, which provides 1.5 million acres of beautiful land for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, and exploring the beauty of God's creation. The cabins are also about a 1-hour drive from Branson, Missouri, which is world-famous for its live entertainment shows, particularly in terms of country music and Christian music.
Guests have access to the entire cabin, all of the exterior grounds on the property, and the game and fitness room that is in the basement of "the big house", where the ministry directors live.
The cabins are built with a cute and fun "hillbilly style" to provide guests with a comfortable, fun, and unique regional experience. They are truly a very cute, unique, and comfortable mix of "hillbilly style" with modern amenities! The cabins help tourists to get a real and authentic sense of the region and its "hillbilly heritage" while enjoying the peaceful and pristine beauty of the Ozarks!

The cabins are built on a beautiful hillside on part of the 58-acre grounds of Teen Harvest Youth Ranch, a Christian ministry for children, teens, and families. The cabins are used for family ministry, but are offered for rent on days when they are not in use for ministry. The rental of the cabins helps to financially support the wonderful ministry of Teen Harvest Youth Ranch. All of the cabins are filled with Christian artwork and Christian decorations. As part of a Christian camp, neither smoking nor alcohol consumption are permitted anywhere on the property.

The rental of the cabin allows guests to also use other items on the grounds including the outdoor firepit, outdoor picnic table, outdoor basketball court, and indoor game / fitness room in the basement of "The Big House" on the property. Guests are also welcome to hike and explore the 58-acre property. Large groups are very welcome and are invited to rent all 6 cabins for church retreats, family reunions, youth trips, business retreats, or other family-friendly events. With the rental of all 6 cabins, guests are also provided with usage of the large commercial kitchen and dining table that is in The Big House as well as the large indoor conference and meeting room that is in the office building on the property.
It is highly recommended that guests have their own means of transportation.
