    I look for peaceful beautiful places to stay in the Ozarks and that is exactly what this was. Wonderful hospitality and everything you’d need for a little trip away from it all.

    The Bunkhouse was nice. Pretty small but big enough for 2 adults. I wouldn’t try to squeeze anyone else in. Futon is very small. Unfortunately we lost power every time it rained & numerous power surges all week long. It was pitch black when out but luckily we had two small flashlights to help us find our way around. I recommend the host put a lantern or something in the cabin or at least offer some sort of light if power goes out. We had trouble with the coded lock on the door. Got locked out. No grill or picnic table was located by our cabin. We had very little interaction with host. Overall it was a cute cabin. It was clean. The Whiskey Saloon was never open. Their 3 dogs were sweethearts. The National Riverway is absolutely gorgeous!

    Scott and Lisa were great hosts. They were very responsive and I enjoyed talking with each of them while we were there. We were concerned about driving their in our Tesla but they have a couple of RV Hookups right at the cabin that allowed us to quickly charge (about 30 miles of range for each hour), which gave us peace of mind and got us back on the road with no issues. Thank you guys.

    Despite the constant, drenching rain, I enjoyed my quiet solitude retreat. The picture made me think it was more isolated than it is (there are other cabins and the trail-riding stables right across the road), but given the weather and time of year, I pretty much had the place to myself. The cabin itself is tiny, but very clean and well supplied. The hosts are very friendly and responsive and I would highly recommend if you’re in the area. The dirt road in May be a little intimidating for a small car, but was no problem for my Outback, despite the rainy conditions and minor rain runoff damage.

    We enjoyed our adventure in the Missouri Ozarks so much! So many waterways to see and saw the Wild Horses twice and I got to check that off my bucket list! The property was clean and comfortable and the hosts showed their hospitality, they are very friendly and accommodating! We hope to come back with our horses sometime in Fall. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!

    Property was the cleanest the interior design and decor were the best I have ever stayed at in the Eminence area. Scott and Lisa were great hosts and the additional amenity's of the new Whisky River Bar along with food from Shortys Rolling Grill not to mention horseback riding and horse stalls for your own really make this a one stop destination. We will back.
