We absolutely adore Jimmy's cabin and consider it one of our favorite getaways. This was our second visit, and we're already eagerly planning our third! It's the perfect sanctuary to unwind from city life, as all stress simply melts away upon arrival. The cabin is thoughtfully stocked with every imaginable item, from kitchen essentials to board games. The tranquil outdoor space offers breathtaking views and is conveniently located just minutes from Mark Twain National Forest. This place is absolutely fantastic, a must-visit! Thank you again for yet another incredible stay!

This place is amazing, warm, cozy and in a beautiful setting. Mike was a great host and I loved his place. I was there on a hunting trip and 1000's of acres of beautiful Mark Twain National Forest abuts the property. Lots of wildlife and North Fork of the White River is only 3 miles away. It's a true nature lover's perfect place.

Property was definitely secluded. No Internet or TV but plenty of card games and board games to keep everyone entertained. Fireflies at dusk were a nice surprise. The shower is not tall folk friendly. I myself am 5'2" with wide hips and was almost touching the shower head, if I were to take a bath my hips would have been mighty tight. The stairs to the loft are a spiral staircase with no outside railing. My 7 and 12 year olds were ok with it and loved it. My 15 year old said "nope" and chose the couch instead. Close enough to things to tourist but secluded enough to feel like the middle of nowhere. 10/10 recommend.

Great weekend in the woods

I took my son up for the youth turkey weekend. I chose Mike's cabin due to its proximity to the public hunting land. The cabin is fully furnished and has some very comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay. P.S. My 10-year-old harvested his first turkey on our trip.

Peaceful, Secluded Weekend

This property was excellent. We went for a weekend float trip at nearby North Fork River. The cabin offered just the right amount of creature comforts with all the benefits of being in nature. It was clean, cool, and the hosts were very communicative. Would definitely go back if we find ourselves in the area again.

Perfect Family Getaway

The cabin was well decorated, comfortable and clean. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. The pellet grill was easy to use and worked great. We even saw a flying squirrel while hanging out on the fro t porch one evening. This is a good location for fishing or floating the North Fork of the White River.

Lil cabin in woods

Very cute tiny cabin. We had plenty of firewood for our late night fireside sitting. The fireplace is gorgeous. The tub was a little tricky to navigate and a little too short for my spouse. The spiral staircase took some getting use to. Definitely an unplugged experience. Very limited cell phone service with T-Mobile. What did we do back in the old days??? Smile.
