About this property
#ContemplationCabin on the Jacks Fork River!
This is a cozy riverfront cabin which is 1 of 2 separate cabins located on 25 acres near the "Barn Hollow Natural Area" just 8 miles outside Mountain View Missouri. While looking out over the Jacks Fork river from the cabin you can hear the soothing sound of the river flowing. The river access for swimming, crackling wood burning stove, and hot tub are just some of the many things about this cabin that you are sure to love!
--Windows overlooking the Jacks Fork river.
--Front covered porch with rocking chairs overlooking the Jacks Fork river.
--Hot Tub on front porch.
--Private river beach/bank and swimming access.
--Indoor wood burning stove.
--Satellite WIFI Internet.
--Central Heating & Air.
--Running Hot & Cold water.
Guest access
Entire Cabin, private river bank & swimming hole shared by only 2 cabins on the entire 25 acres of riverfront property.
Other things to note
--Depending on cell service provider, you may not have cell service at the cabin. (the top of the hill should have cell service)
--Depending on the weather, satellite internet may be spotty or have outages.
--Depending on the amount of recent rainfall, the river may or may not be safely accessible.
-- Low profile vehicles and motorcycles can make it BUT are not ideal and are not recommended due to the rocky driveway and hill. AWD and 4x4 are recommended especially during the winter months incase of snow or ice.

Our Goals For Your Stay
This year has been long, different, & difficult to navigate.
I've found my center here in this space, so many times....
My hope in sharing it with you is that you too can find calm in the chaos.
There’s a TV but it’s optional... there’s WiFi but it’s optional...
Create new habits, & evaluate your old ones...
Find moments of silence comfortable & make time for late coffee or tea...
Sleep in or wake early... Take an afternoon nap...
Stay up to see the moon without worry of next day responsibilities...
Take a dip in the river, clothes optional... If its cold, dip anyway...
Disconnect from the world... reconnect with yourself...
Regroup with your people...
Refocus... Find your new aim...
Study the relationships with the world you've created around you...
While you are here, be a Wandering Woman, a Meandering
Man, a Curious Couple, a Fun Family, a Person at Peace...
Become willing to slow down & breathe... & for goodness
sakes laugh a little...
Read a book... Wonder...
Listen to the sounds of Nature & the River Flow...
Look at the trees...
Contemplate...
