This cottage was the perfect spot for a weekend with my friends. It has everything you could want at your fingertips. We were just a short drive to the Wildwood Lodge for dinner and live music. The town, the hosts, everyone was so friendly. We hope to go back and stay longer

Highly Recommend this cottage!
We stayed two nights and loved it! It was clean, peaceful, comfortable, close to the river and close to Steeleville. Great attention was paid to all the details to provide everything guests might need during their stay. The bed was really comfortable which is always important to us, the bedding was great, the towels were thick and fluffy, and all the decor was so tasteful. The rooms are spacious and the only negative for us was that there was only one bathroom. We thought about inviting friends to join us but were hesitant because of the one bathroom. My husband and I would definitely stay here again!

Everything you need in one place.
Conveniently located next to a beach with shallow water for kids to play in and literally a two minute drive to town. What sets this property apart is the fact that you wonā€™t be spending hundreds of extra dollars on impulse buys when you go out to buy the little items here and there that you forgot. If you are on a budget, bring your own food and drink to cook, the host provides everything else. Down to the little things like a match or plastic bag. We will definitely be coming back next year!

Summer Weekend Getaway
This property was the perfect spot for a weekend float getaway! Check in was easy (and ready before expected!), and the cabin and property were lovely. We had fun walking down to the river and using the bonfire and lawn games. Everything was super well labeled in the cabin, and we enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine! We were a party of 6 and had plently of space for all of us. Would definitely recommend this spot for a trip to Steelville!

What a great Gem!
I took my boyfriend floating for his birthday. We stayed Thurs to Sun. Check in/out was simple. The owners were extremely quick to respond to any questions. It is right in between Cuba and Steelville. We floated thru Birds Nest. They will pick you up at the house and drop you back off too! So for the property, it is beautiful. We sat on the front porch for hours just watching the wildlife and relaxing. The river access is not really walking distance since it is a mile down a gravel hill. I wouldn't want to carry a cooler up and down it. But it is convenient and a very short drive. Nice little spot to swim! The inside is just as it is pictured. It is an old farmhouse, but it is updated and lovely. I love that they have labels on everything in the kitchen and around the house. so much easier to find everything. And they do have everything! The beds were comfy and so were the couches. the kitchen is huge! the only issue we had was the Wi-Fi was pretty slow since you are in the country, so we couldn't watch a movie without buffering. But we weren't there to watch TV. We enjoyed our stay immensely and we will be back! Thanks Peggy!

Above and beyond our expectations!!
It is impossible to name all the things we loved but I will name a few (the little things indoors: like seasonings, ziploc bags, a bottle of wine for our arrival, the cleanliness, seasonings, a crockpot, all things needed to prepare a meal) outdoors: the firewood/pit/ chairs provided, the beauty, the deer, close to the river. This home was more than we expected and one of the best we've rented! We will 100% stay here and recommend it to our friends! Thanks so much for helping our weekend be so relaxing! This cottage is the best !

We choose this cottage because we were going on vacation. The rooms are bigger than the pictures and there is plenty to do! My family had everything we needed and more, they provide so many useful things that you would otherwise forget to pack or have to buy. Peggy and Jon were so sweet, available to answer any questions. The area is beautiful and so is the house! We stayed for a little over a week and it didn't feel like enough time! Highly recommend and will be booking again in the future!

All The Little Things
Our stay at Jon & Peggyā€™s place was excellent. The location was close to town and exactly as described. The place is quiet and I would recommend it for families, couples, and friends, because of the proximity to Steelville, Cuba, and the Meramec River. The bedrooms are spacious and there is a good size closet to hang clothes. The living room had a Smart TV for all your viewing needs. Kitchen was well-equipped and spacious. Very easily could have prepped a family meal. We felt comfortable here and would book this place again. Jon & Peggyā€™s place is extremely clean, and the furniture was modern and functional. They were very responsive and welcoming. They went above a beyond making us feel at home. They even had roasting sticks and fire wood ready for the fire pit.

We loved the house and it fit all six of us very comfortably. The place is clean and cute and has everything you could need. Anything we seemed to forget was already there which was nice. The owners of the house were great they always answered any message I sent within 20 minutes or less. Our last night there we even hung out with one of the owners and he is a very fun guy who restocked us with firewood and played some great music and joined us for games to celebrate my birthday. All and all we will definitely be coming back and this was the best place we have ever stayed at!
