Our family had a wonderful weekend. Between having the river to ourselves, s'mores in the evenings and wild turkey to watch while sipping coffee in the morning on the back porch we couldn't have asked for more. Beautiful property, highly recommend.

This place is fantastic. Quiet cabin with the river down the road. The deck outside has large gathering area, with a platform swing to enjoy the beautiful view. Emily is a wonderful host, prompt to answer any questions and accommodate our last minute changes. We will be back again!

We enjoyed our stay so much that we were hoping to come back for some future family vacations if it's still available! The Whippoorwill Cabin was a fantastic place to stay for a family trip. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and close to the river. It has a beautiful view of the sunset over the Meremac from the back balcony. The private gravel bar on the river was shared with 2 other properties and we had it to ourselves for a fun family river-beach day. The host was easy to contact and quickly responded when I didn't initially receive the lockbox code via email. She fixed it right away and got me the code. We also really appreciate how well the kitchen, soap, toilet paper, trash bags & other toiletries and such stocked. It is a fantastic cabin for a family vacation. And I greatly appreciate the host's quick response and help when I didn't receive the lock box code email before check-in.We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Literally the ONLY thing that could have potentially been better was a few wobbly kitchen chairs, which was easily remedied by sitting elsewhere. I highly recommend this host and cabin.

Great stay

Property was very clean, host was wonderful, and the location was perfect. We greatly enjoyed the deck overlooking the valley, and having coffee out there each morning to the sounds of wild Turkey, squirrel, hawks and more. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Stay!

Emily was a wonderful hostess as she made sure we had everything we needed before and after we arrived. Her property is in an ideal location with short drives to Meramec Springs, Cuba, Steelville, etc. And the views from the back of her place during the sunset are breathtaking. We would certainly like to come back to visit!

Booked this cabin for a getaway weekend with my boyfriend. This cabin was perfect. Fireplace in the living room to sit in front of, a great view from the deck to sit and drink coffee overlooking the river. Close to good hiking. Would definitely come back :)

We loved it

The private river access was great. We drove our jeep down to the private river access every day: walked the river, fished, or just relaxed. The cabin is nice and private, you can’t see any neighbors. We really liked this location and would visit again if we come back to the area.

Whippoorwill Cabin

We wanted a weekday flat on the Meramec river so we stayed at the Wippoorwill cabin. This is my second stay. The location is close to everything you need yet remote. We didn't see anybody. Everything about the cabin is excellent. We hope to get back soon.
