Noel, Missouri
Located just 2 miles south of Noel on Highway 59 and nestled between the bluffs and Bluff Dwellers Cave is The Cavern Inn. The limestone house was home to C. Arthur Browning, who discovered Bluff Dwellers Cave in 1925. This limestone house was originally built in the late 1920’s and as the family grew, an addition was added which almost doubled the size of the home. What was once 5 bedrooms upstairs has been converted into 3 rooms, each with its own private bathroom. In addition to the kitchen and open living room, the main floor has a queen bedroom which is handicap accessible. Upstairs there are two king bedrooms and one queen. Linens and towels are provided. There's a room upstairs, no bed but has a sofa; could easily throw two sleeping bags down or an air mattress.
Central heat and air is throughout the house as the upstairs was updated February 2023.
Noel is known for beautiful cliffs and limestone overhangs along Missouri Highways 59 & 90 as it winds along the Elk River. Elk River offers lot of opportunities in Noel for river rafting, canoeing, and kayaking so it’s close enough for adventure and far enough to qualify as a true escape! Fall is particularly beautiful when the trees are vivid with an autumn palette of red, orange, gold, and brown. The Inn offers breathtaking views of the bluffs and pond. Modern amenities include Wi-fi, tv, (no cable), dvd player, and private bathrooms.
The common area is expansive and occupies most of the main floor. Windows surround the room. The kitchen is at the back of the house and has windows on three sides affording breath-taking views of the wooded area.
You’ll enjoy sitting out on the patio. It’s awesome with a granite inlaid floor and ornate ceiling fan to circulate the air. The back patio has a BBQ grill, but you'll need to provide your own charcoal. There's also a fire pit and some benches. Wood for burning is usually available.
Nearby attractions include Crystal Bridges (45 minutes), Precious Moments (1 hour) Roaring River State Park (1.5 hours), Grand Lake 'O the Cherokee (45 minutes) and numerous sites for canoeing and rafting are within 2 to 5 miles of The Cavern Inn. Branson, MO is a little over 2 hours and Eureka Springs, AR is about 1.5 hours.
We rented for family visiting and we were all impressed with the property and loved all the bathrooms and space.
Thank you for allowing us to stay here while we enjoyed some time away for the weekend to venture on a float trip! Myself & 7 friends stayed here and there was PLENTY of space for us. Felt super homey, had some games that we used one night for a little game night and the kitchen had everything we needed. The patio out front and in the back were relaxing to sit outside and enjoy some quiet and sit around chatting together. Each room was unique and cute and had everything we needed! Highly recommend! Some of us even went inside the cave down the road to explore and I had never done that before, so fun!
Once again, we loved our stay here! We look forward to the charm and amenities every time we come! Weā€™ll be booking again!
We candy down for a float trip, the inn was clean and spacious!
House was large, clean, and well equipped. Perfect for a large group for a float trip
We loved the house, exactly as described. Beautiful scenery, explored the cave on the property. Owners were kind and informative. Enjoyed our stay there very much.
This cozy home is so amazing. It has everything you need. We used this house during our annual float trip. Roomy and convenient. Owners are amazing. They even gave us a private tour of the on property cave after hours. This is above and beyond expectations. Thank you so much
Highly recommend!! Plenty of space, fully loaded kitchen! You wonā€™t find a better place to stay in Noel!!
This was the perfect place for us to stay for a nearby wedding. My family of 5 and sisters family of 4 were quite comfortable. Each room has its own bathroom and the kitchen is well stocked, just wished we had time to stay longer and enjoy all the amenities and explore the nearby cave. Anne was very easy to communicate with and responsive. Thanks!
Loved the house! The wood work, bedrooms, kitchen i can keep going on! Our entire group want to make this our yearly get away!! We spent alot of time in the kitchen lol
Went with a small group to float the elk river. The property was great! Very clean, great communication, and exactly as advertised! While there, we decided to tour the cave on the property. Guide was good and the cave was awesome! Definitely would do this again!
This house is absolutely beautiful! Not only was the entire process of renting, checking in, and checking out completely stress-freeā€”this house is gorgeous! We booked a float trip and this house couldnā€™t have been more perfect! Great location to the river and local restaurants, immaculately clean and well-stocked, and the easiest check-out list Iā€™ve ever experienced. The front porch was definitely our favorite hang-out spot! Do yourself a favor and book this property if only to enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of the house! We will definitely be booking again!
We had two of ours kids with us as well as two other couples. The 4br and 5 bath house was perfect for what we needed. Every bedroom had its own shower as well as a big clean bed. It was about 106 degrees every day we stayed there and we were impressed with how well the AC units kept up. The house was very spacious and included every thing we needed. We also did a cave tour next door and our kids loved their first time. We will definitely stay there again.
Lovely property! Very clean. Close to elk river. Dwellers cave was amazing!
My family and I loved this house!! So clean and comfortable. Big plus was the air conditioning worked wonderful in 103 degree weather in an older home! Highly recommend this home and we really enjoyed the cave tour.
Really enjoyed my 60th Birthday weekend with all of my family. The accommodations were perfect for our weekend getaway and the home was everything I had hoped for. The rooms were perfect for the 8 adults we had and the front porch was our favorite stop. I'm sure we will be back and everyone left talking about next year.
Our stay here with a group of friends was absolutely perfect. This beautiful and charming home has everything you need, plus more. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were equipped with everything you would need. We also enjoyed the front porch and back area with the firepit. The owners were so kind and went over and beyond to make our stay perfect. I can't wait to visit again!
