Secluded farmhouse retreat - Meramec river access!

Wonderful place. Just perfect for our cousins get away!

This property was absolutely perfect for our girls’ trip! We played cornhole, grilled, and listened to music while laughing and reminiscing about old memories. We had the best time catching up! The barn was awesome—although we didn’t spend much time in there since it was so hot outside, I can imagine it would be such a fun hangout spot when the weather’s cooler.The river access is just a short drive on the property, and you can even schedule a float with Kick N K (the friendly neighbor). We did the 5-mile float, and it was both relaxing and so much fun!I can’t recommend this place enough—it was perfect in every way!

When we booked this house we booked it with the fact that there would be four families involved. Due to having four families we booked the barn apartment as well. According to the VRBO listing the barn apartment was supposed to have a double bed and a futon in it. (which would be acceptable for a family) Once we arrived we figured out that there were only two twin bunk beds in there (no double bed and no futon) twin bunk beds are definitely not ideal for a couple. The bunk beds sat directly on the ground with no gap in between the floor and the bed which made it easy access for bugs. The bunk beds also did not have a rail on the top which was a big no for us because my children toss and turn and I don't need them falling out of a bed that is five foot up in the air and landing on the concrete. Once we went to get into the beds (because we were just trying to make the best of the situation) We were upset to see that there was mouse poop under the pillow and under some of the sheets. I live out in the country so I totally understand that you will have mice and bugs, but I was under the impression that the bedding and linens would have all been washed the day were checking in (which is what should have happened) Again I get that out in the middle of no where you will have mice, but there is not way anyone thinks its acceptable to sleep in mouse poop. It would have been nice for the property manager to have made this right, but it didn't seem like it was thought to be a big deal.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and love the extra space the shed offers and the access to the river. The home is great, clean and has all the amenities without needing to pack all of the kitchen and linens. If i had a question and needed to contact the home owner i recieved quick response.

Part of me wants to leave a bad review so this place doesn’t get too busy and I can use it every year because I love it that much! This is our favorite place to stay. It truly is the best and they think of everything. Super clean, close to the river, all kinds of amenities, and beautiful view

Our group had a great time at the house and property. The river access point was great and we loved that there was raft rentals for our float just down the other gravel drive, less than 10 min from the house. Thanks for a great stay!!

We had a great weekend! 11 people, plenty of room, wonderful views, clean, and has everything you need. Book the barn too, it was worth it! Not too far of a drive to Bass River Resort for a day float or Steelville for anything you may forget. Loved the games and fire pit. We didn’t make it down to the property’s river access but we’ll try that next time.

The home was everything we hoped for. Clean, spacious, and very well stocked. The barn area was amazing with all the activities provided. The property is very well kept and very private. We could not have picked a better place to get away for a couple days. Thank you to the owners for making it great.

Fun getaway with friends! The game barn puts it over the top!

Perfect family getaway!
