This cabin exceeded expectations! It is clean and well-equipped for many activities, both inside and outside. We drove all the UTV trails, soaked in the hot tub, bird watched, played some family games (indoors and outdoors), kayaked and skipped rocks on the river! The host was very responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommend!

Best VRBO yet—comfy beds, dreamy décor, kitchen stocked better than mine. Rain on the back porch bliss, hot tub under string lights magic. UTV trails & gravel bar/river bonus fun. Secluded yet not too far from town. 10/10 would move in permanently!

Beautiful cabin and property. Luxurious cabin while also being on the river, you’re able to take the side by side down and swim! We enjoyed the hot tub, covered deck and fire pit as well. Would absolutely stay here again. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in this rental.

A beautiful house and property! Everything was clean and there were so many thoughtful touches. You can really see how much they care. Communication was easy when we needed something and we really appreciated the float trip tips! Easy drive to Branson and Springfield while still being able to enjoy nature. Definitely somewhere we would return to and recommend!
