Absolutely beautiful!!
This was an absolutely beautiful cabin and location. Speaking with the owners was easy and she definitely made herself available! Even provided channels to watch in the TV. Fishing was great. The place was clean with a couple exceptions. The outdoor grill needs new grates and the outdoor fire thing had a hole in the bottom. Overall, it was amazing! I would definitely stay again.

Quiet, Calming Getaway!
The cabin is tucked away on a private drive with a lot of open space fronting the river. It's incredibly peaceful and the front room is perfect to sit and sip coffee while watching the river. We will be back!

Wonderful weekend get-away
Amazing view of the river from the patio (and back room). Spent mornings sitting outside watching the river and enjoying coffee. Took the short walk down the trail to the river, lounged in the sun then took a dip in the water to cool off. We spent each night sitting around the fire pit just enjoying nature. Plenty in the area to do for sure however my favorite day was just hanging around the cabin enjoying the quiet outdoors. Just what we needed, a peaceful, relaxing weekend!

Great for a St. Louis region getaway! Well appointed with all the necessary needs. Great river frontage and nature watching. Cute and serene, with all you could ask for in a area of peace. TV needs?

Even though it rained during our weekend and we couldn’t float the river our stay was so cozy, comfortable and pleasant family time who could complain! The cabin is clean, rustic and comfortable. The host, Susan, is wonderful! Super responsive and helpful. A great experience!

What an amazing property! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The cabin was cozy but had all the amenities and it was in a great location. And the river was absolutely amazing--easy access, not too shallow, not too deep, but just right. We would definitely stay here again!!

Susan was great to work with and overall very kind. The cabin is close enough to town to access restaurants if you dont feel like cooking but if you do the cabin has everything you might need. The view of the river was stunning and the cabin was very comfy and cozey. I hope we get the chance to stay again!

My wife and I stayed here for our 20th wedding anniversary. It’s was such a relaxing experience. Just the two of us the river and the thunderstorms. Absolutely amazing. The host was very helpful and the place was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend. The only thing missing for us was a hammock lol. One key thing, do your shopping before you get into town, the country mart is the only store and it’s very expensive.

Beautiful and clean. Animals and water. What more do you want?
It's a nice little cabin with a gorgeous view! We had a great outdoor experience with many comforts of home. We were able to cook all our meals and eat at the cabin and a great picture window view of the river with tons of birds, turtles, geese and more. The bed was comfortable and overall clean and smelled good. It was nicely decorated and the fireplace was really very interesting. Will return and definitely recommend.

Perfect little cabin on the river!
This property is so charming! Cabin has a neat history and the quartz and mineral fireplace was beautiful! I had a group of ladies stay to celebrate my bday. There is an option to have people camp outside for a small fee if your party is bigger than what the cabin accommodates. We didn’t get to float bc it had rained so much beforehand but there are options to float right to the cabin and things to do in the area like Onondaga state park. The outside area is perfect for bbqing and hanging around the fire. The view of the river is magical at all times of the day. We had a great stay and loved the cabin! It was a cheaper option than some of the campground cabins in the area. Definitely recommend!

Cozy and relaxing
We loved our weekend stay in this cute, cozy cabin. We sat out by the firepit both nights having a few drinks. On our way in, we stopped in Steelville to get food for the weekend. (only about 10 minutes from the cabin) The singing butcher shop had so many amazing meats and cheeses. We picked up a porterhouse steak, summer sausage, smoked cheeses, farm-fresh eggs, and stuffed mushrooms. We then stopped at the General store and grabbed some wonderful coffee, sodas, and candy. :) There is also a Country Mart grocery store where we grabbed the rest of our essentials, as well as some beer and wine. We ate like kings the whole weekend. We brought our Kayaks with the idea of paddling upstream and then float with the current back to the cabin. The current was too strong to get very far so we called Susan to see if she had a solution. She came the next morning, met us at the cabin and we drove 5 miles into town with our truck and the Kayaks. She dropped us off on the river at a fantastic access point to take off from. We floated the river for about 3 hours. We ended the float at the cabin's boat ramp, and our car was there. AMAZING Trip! Highly recommend.
