Chateau on 40 acres with private lake, close to Blue Springs Ranch

The house is an amazing place with a peaceful patio and wonderful backyard view. We spent every morning and evening enjoying the sounds and sights of nature and star gazing at night. The beds are so comfortable! The decor is amazing!! Thank you for a wonderful place to get away for a weekend!

Fantastic location and beautiful property!

The view was incredible. The place was very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend.Very peaceful.

If I could leave 10 stars, I would!! This place is truly a safe haven and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. The real hidden gem is the host! Miss Christie and Mr Tracey are incredible people with huge hearts! They were there for us in every way and welcomed us as family when we needed it. If you stay anywhere in all of Missouri, choose this beautiful little cottage. It’s truly a home away from home!

Excellent property with fantastic communication.

Christie was an awesome host and our stay was very relaxing. We highly recommend this Hidden Gem! :)

Beautiful location with an attention to making every spot cozy.

This property is wonderful. It had everything we needed and more! We stayed 3 nights and had all the comforts of home in a beautiful setting. We cooked ourselves breakfast each morning and loved the cookware so much we may buy some. And we had enough towels for a family of 4 to not have to do any laundry for 3 days. The frontage property was so beautiful, we used as a backdrop for some fall family pictures! Would recommend over and over !

Awesome place

We had a fantastic stay. The chateau was clean, spacious, and well stocked. Our kids especially enjoyed fishing on the pond on the property. Our hosts communicated ahead of time to answer our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. A few days after our trip, our two year old asked when we were going back to the other house - answer: soon!

We were in Bourbon, MO for a wedding at the Blue Springs Ranch. This place fit the bill and when we pulled up and walked in, I realized this was one of those rare places where the in-person experience was better than even the photos! You feel like you’re in a Joanna Gaines Fixer Upper designed house with every single detail thought out. Quality linens, a porch swing that you would see on Instagram and an even larger outdoor luxe living area. We were so grateful to have this oasis of peace and beauty to come back to as we did all the wedding stuff. HIGHLY recommend.

We enjoyed the fantastic getaway, the name speaks for itself. “The Hidden Gem”, an exquisite retreat that perfectly showcases the stunning natural beauty of Missouri. Our nights were enriched by the serene sounds of nature and a sky ablaze with stars. During the day, we enjoyed the lush greenery and peaceful pond.

Always love our stay here! Great hosts. Cabin is awesome. Location is great, just far enough away. Property is beautiful and peaceful. A great place to rest, retreat, and reconnect.

It was a quiet and peaceful stay. We highly recommend!

This was one of the nicest places I’ve stayed on a trip!! You can tell the hosts thought of everything you might need, and it was so appreciated!! Would definitely come again!

Beautiful cabin and land. Owner’s spared no expense on furnishings and decor. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to go back again.

Great place super close to blue springs and hosts were very helpful

It’s everything you could ask for in a beautiful and quiet setting. Christie is the perfect host and the muffins are sinfully delicious Thank you again for everything!We will be back a third time next yearIt could use a river access day pass somewhere but not a biggie

This property is amazing!! It is not just decorated beautifully, but all the little details have been thought out. You can cook or bake virtually anything you want with everything provided in the kitchen. Then take that to multiple eating areas outside with fans to keep you cool & the bugs away. Afterwards relax on the supersized swing with a view that belongs on a desktop background. This place was so wonderful we referred a friend before we had left.

Great time very relaxing

Beautiful place with a very peaceful setting. Just what we needed for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Would definitely come back. Thanks again Christie.

This property is kept so neat and tidy !! Plenty of porch time with an incredible swing for all ages to sit on. Beds were so comfortable. Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing!! This place really is a Hidden Gem. We rented it for a Father’s Day float and it was absolutely perfect!! The house itself was beautifully decorated with anything you could need or want! The host left fresh spring water in the fridge for us and delicious muffins. The porch, the view…so beautiful and peaceful, overlooking a fishing pond where you can feed the fish or catch and release. We saw deer and turkey. I really didn’t want to leave the porch swing. We were less than 2 miles from Blue Springs Ranch where we floated. Beds are comfy. Upstairs had a split unit to keep the upstairs bedroom heated or cooled. Everything was absolutely perfect…10/10 recommend!!!

We absolutely love this property and its owners! The chateau and the property is just beautiful and one of our favorite places to be. We cannot say enough good things about it and the time we spend in God’s country!

A beautiful property with gorgeous views. The fishing was great and the lake has a large deck for easy fishing. House was very nicely decorated and outside porches were comfortable. Loved the swing and the fireplace- we had a wonderful relaxing time. Will definitely be back!

We loved our fourth stay just as much as our first. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with all of your guests. The Knetzer Family

The Chateau is exactly what you see in the pictures & more. This is the 2nd time I've rung in the new year here. Daily hikes in the woods, walks around the pond and visits to various antique stores are my happy places! Would do this every year if I could

Wonderful property to get away & relax. The pictures don’t do it justice. Boundless amenities-very clean-and decorated like it should be in a magazine! The hosts thought of everything from the inside out ! Swing on back porch overlooking the lake was brilliant! So comfortable & Cozy. We will be booking again ! Thank you for the gracious hospitality!!

The whole property was wonderful and immaculatly cared for! Beds were very comfy and clean and the kitchen was great for cooking. We loved the large open field and pond and outdoor space. If we could add one thing, it would be to have a circular outdoor fire pit somewhere as the beautiful outdoor stone fireplace was slightly difficult to huddle around in the colder weather. Overall everyone loved the place and would stay again in a heartbeat!

This property is amazing and even better in person. This is our second time and we plan to make it there for a third. The host is so kind and always quick to respond. If you are ever in the area this place will not disappoint.

We stayed at the Chateau for a fall weekend. It was beautiful inside and out. Too many amenities to mention. Communication with Christie was great. Beds were comfy. Attention to detail makes this home a wonderful place to visit.

My husband and I stayed here in October. The property is gorgeous!! We fell in love with the natural beauty of the land and pond. The house looks even better than the photos. The hosts put a lot of time and energy into all the little details. 10/10 would recommend. We could not have asked for a better place to get away!

I was searching for a place for an anniversary weekend away and happened across this little gem. The photos accurately portrayed the property. The host was responsive and helpful in answering my questions. We spent the weekend in perfect solitude..just the 2 of us. It was so relaxing. I almost hate to say how great it is cause i don't wanna share! We have definitely found our regular getaway destination. P.s. incase you haven't read my note in the guestbook, the shelf with the mugs hanging below is not level. It looks like it could fall any minute. We used the mugs in cabinet because I was afraid to touch the hanging mugs.

We really enjoyed our stay catching up with our friends that now live several states away. The house was clean, welcoming and comfortable which was perfect for us to relax and talk with our friends. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend staying at this house if you are looking for a quiet, secluded place that is still close to stores, restaurants and other things to do. The outdoor amenities were an excellent option for socializing and taking in the view and wildlife. Very happy with our stay and are heading home refreshed.
