Bolivar, Missouri
Escape to the River House! On a cliff above the Pomme de Terre River, on the outskirts of Bolivar Missouri, is a peaceful place to enjoy a romantic weekend or recharge as you relax on the deck of this lovely home.
Whether the river is running high or low, it is a place for fun or relaxation. We have 4 kayaks (two child size and two adult size) for paddling and floating on the river. A short trail of moderate difficulty starts at the house and goes down the hillside and ends in steps at the river's edge. About 50 yards up river from the steps is a deep hole for fishing or swimming.
Even though the RIVER is so wonderful - the HOUSE completes the wonderfulness of this place to stay. The River House was designed to embrace the outdoors and connect with nature. Unwind on one of the many decks with your glass of wine, while listening to the river, and watching for eagles, fox, deer, owls, raccoons, otters, and herons. Or relax in the hot tub by moonlight and enjoy the stars.
The wooden Klepper kayak frame on the wall in the main room of the house was bought in 1950 by my parents and they passed it on to us in 1980. We bought a new hull at that time. But the rivers in Missouri aren't made for the thin skinned hull, so it was rarely used. It makes us so happy to see it become a part of this beautiful home.
For fresh eggs, bread, and produce, it is a ten minute drive to Greater Polk County Farmer’s Market on the Bolivar Square. It is held weekly (weather permitting) on Saturdays. Or give yourself a break from cooking and dine at the local restaurants in town.
This property is wonderful. It’s secluded and quiet, right along the river. But very close to Bolivar, with lots of options for eating out. Host was extremely accommodating (had to switch my dates shortly after we booked) and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend. We loved it.
This house was awsome, really enjoyed how remote yetclose to town if need anything. River was low but still enjoyed the kayaks. This place was well stocked,clean, will definitely come back again someday, i can imagine how it looks in the fall with foliage. Oh yea , Hot Tub was nice even after a hot day!
Super cute cabin in the trees with great deck space and hot tub. Cabin was clean and well-stocked and communication with property owner was great.
This home is amazing! We were in town for our youngest daughters wedding at Sparrow Lane in Willard, MO and this home was perfect for us. The owners did not over look any detail right down to the soaps condition and hair dryer! And every switch was labeled so we didn't have to attempt to figure out which switch worked which lights. Right on the river with gorgeous trees and some wildlife. This was the perfect place for us with our daughters family (she has an under 1 year old not crawling yet) so we didn't have to worry about the stairway. Great communication with the owners and easy check in and check out. We highly recommend!
This was the perfect size for our family of 5. Being able to kayak down the river was an added bonus to our vacation. We also loved the privacy. A deer family visited us almost every day as well!
Property was great and our family enjoyed our time at the house. I would definitely stay there again if ever in the area. Very nice property and well kept! Thank you.
Beautiful clean home inside and out. The house is so beautifully decorated. It seems like a brand new house. Kitchen had everything we needed. Quiet private area where the house is located. Would definitely stay here again. Owner Karan was always quick to respond.
This property is so adorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely rent this property again!
