Prairie Hollow Hideaway, cozy 3-bedroom log cabin located 1 mile from Two Rivers

Prairie Hollow Hideaway is a charming 3-bedroom log cabin located 1 mile from both the Current and Jacks Fork rivers. The cabin is nestled on the edge of Prairie Hollow Creek, an intermittent creek, surrounded by open fields and woodlands. It offers a remote and peaceful experience free from distractions, with 3 bedrooms and a full kitchen. Whether visiting the area to float, sight-see, hike or hunt, this cabin is the perfect relaxing getaway.

At Prairie Hollow Hideaway you can truly “hide away” from the electronic intrusions of the outside world. While there is no television, there is satellite internet service that provides basic WiFi for essential connectivity needs, such as email or WiFi calling. There is also a cell booster that may provide some 4G depending on your cell carrier. It may not work for every carrier or cell phone. (WiFi is provided as an option for essential communications and some basic web browsing, but we don't guarantee that connection speeds will support streaming content and ask that guests do not stream content due to limited plan. We also do not guarantee cell service with the booster since provider coverage and signal strength vary in our area.)

PLEASE NOTE: Price varies by guest count so include all guests for accurate pricing. Also, prior to accepting booking requests, owners require potential guests to reply to a pre-booking message within 24 hours to confirm certain listing details and house rules truly meet your needs. The guest limit is for 6 total staying on the property, regardless of age. A baby is considered as 1 guest. We don't allow camping in the yard as a means to add more guests and exceed the guest limit.

The cabin is fairly secluded from everything else around it, with only brief glimpses of activity that occurs in the area and no other houses in sight. Prairie Hollow Hideaway is the perfect escape, with an excellent location that will allow you to easily enjoy a variety of activities. It is located less than 10 minutes from Eminence, just off paved State Highway V. Your reservation includes full use of the entire cabin, the outdoor fire pit/picnic area, the mowed lawn areas around it, and the intermittent creek in front (kiddos love to explore the creek when it's flowing).

The cabin is two stories, with the second floor reached via sturdy stepladder. We do not recommend use of the upstairs for anyone with joint or mobility issues due to the stepladder, or for babies and toddlers due to the open landing on the second floor. The main floor includes a living room, master bedroom, full bathroom, kitchen, and utility room with refrigerator and washer/dryer. On the second floor, two bedrooms and 1/2 bath will accommodate up to 5 for sleeping. Each bedroom has its own dresser and closet area. We provide linens, towels, soap, toilet paper, hair dryer, dish soap, paper towels, and an initial supply of laundry detergent.

In total, the property has 5 beds, two of which are double beds. Our guest occupancy limit requires that at least one of the double beds be occupied by 2 people when at full occupancy. Couches are for day use only, and we ask that guests do not plan to make use of the couches as beds, because we are unable to wash cushion covers between stays like we do bedding. If your group needs separate beds for every guest in a group of 6, then this may not be the right property for you.

The kitchen includes seating for 6, and has an electric range, small oven, and microwave. It is fully stocked with cookware, dishware, can opener, coffee maker, toaster, and blender. There is plenty of cabinet space for food and storage. We provide napkins, cooking oil, salt and pepper for seasoning, and creamer/sweeteners for your morning coffee. The adjacent utility room provides a full-size refrigerator, washer/dryer (including initial supply of detergent and dryer sheets) and more cabinet space, with iron and small ironing board. A selection of board games and yard games are stored in the utility room cabinet for good old fashioned game time with your group.

The front porch runs the full length of the cabin, overlooking the creek drainage. A porch swing and Adirondack chairs provide comfortable outdoor lounging space where you can enjoy coffee on a cool morning or watch the sun go down. The porch also provides the perfect vantage point from which to observe wildlife like deer, bobcats, turkeys, and a variety of birds.

A fire pit and lawn chairs in the yard are the perfect way to end the day, stargazing or roasting marshmallows. A wooden picnic table sits nearby the fire pit, to make it easy to enjoy your meal outdoors. A cooking rack is installed on the fire pit for campfire cooking. If you bring your own charcoal, a charcoal grill is available for your use as well.

As a convenience, we provide one complimentary 5-gallon bucket size bundle of firewood for your use in our outdoor fire pit, if you should desire to have an evening campfire. However, if you would like more firewood during your stay, you will either need to bring or buy firewood, or possibly purchase additional bundles from us for $5 each. This is the same price as all the local firewood vendors, if you should desire to purchase your additional firewood before you arrive. The area around the fire pit is wooded, so we also allow you to collect any small dead and downed wood for your fire. (Please don't haul big logs from the woods to attempt to burn.)

The property is easily reached by paved state highways. The cabin is situated on the back side of the creek and is reached via gravel driveway and low-water bridge. In the event of heavy rain causing the creek to rise over the low-water bridge to a level that you are uncomfortable crossing, there is an alternate entry through the owner's neighboring driveway.

The cabin is in a quiet valley not far from owner's residence. We have house rules about excessive noise and fireworks so that neighbors are not inconvenienced. We are often nearby if guests have any needs. We will stop by near the start of your stay to ensure everything meets your and our expectations with your reservation and to answer any questions. After that, we will stay out of your way for the remainder of your visit unless issues arise.

Parking is allowed in the area designated for parking, or vehicles may be left parked on the gravel drive. We ask that vehicles not be parked in any other areas of the lawn.

Outdoor security camera monitors the driveway and parking area, primarily as a means to monitor trespassing and unexpected vehicles between reservations.

PRICING INFORMATION: Base rental price is based on occupancy by two people. There is an additional $10 charge per day for each additional individual (regardless of age), for up to 4 additional guests, for a maximum total of $40 per day above the base price for full occupancy. This allows us to keep the price lower for small groups, rather than charging the full occupancy price on every reservation regardless of group size. Please ensure you include all guests in your reservation request to get accurate pricing.

***All potential guests must submit a booking request. We will fairly quickly respond with a message describing listing details that guests often overlook initially, asking you to CONFIRM you are aware of those details and that you AGREE with the house rules prior to acceptance of the booking request. Please watch for that message and respond within 24 hours or we'll be unable to accept your reservation request.***

***From December thru March: We will consider one-night rentals for up to 2 guests sleeping in the Master Bedroom and using the main floor only, for our regular nightly price. We will also consider one-night rentals for up to 6 guests, but those will be charged a $25 cleaning fee on top of the additional guest fees.***
