Beautiful country home

We walked in and were all so excited!! This place is large and spacious. Lots of character! Two living rooms. We had issue with the heat because there are no air conditioning vents upstairs and they sent a guy out to bring over fans and fix it up :) they provided coffee for us and we literally had everything we needed. What an amazing place. There is even a fire pit!!! Close to the river as well. We absolutely loved it and the scenery.

Great place to relax and unwind.

We were looking for a peaceful place to relax and this property was perfect. Check in/out was easy and the place was very clean. We lovesd hearing the river flow from the 3 decks on the house. We highly recommend a stay at this place if you're looking to relax and unwind.

Buffalo Vacation Rental | 3BR | 2.5BA | 1 Step Required to Access | 1,300 Sq Ft

Rural Missouri

We stayed here three nights to celebrate a graduation in the family. It was a good location to get to both Springfield and Pleasant Hope. No problems getting in with the two key pads. Kitchen was well stocked; the bottled water was great as the tap water had a bit of an odor. Not the cleanest upon arrival (crumbs on the table, dead bugs on the floors, etc.) but not bad overall, especially for a working farm. We bought a fly swatter for the place due to all the extra “guests” that would enter every time we opened the door. :)We were surprised that the rental ended up being a duplex, with another unit underneath us. It’s not super clear in the original listing, and we initially found the property by searching “whole house to self” but there weren’t any issues with neighbors or noise. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with good vibes. We would likely stay again if back in the area.

I was looking for a quiet, rural enironment to enjoy some peace. It was PERFECT! Clean and comfortable with a nice patio. I enjoyed the horses, buffalo and longhorn cows on my way to town for dinner. It’s a great value and I’ll be back.
