This was our 3rd time staying here for me, my husband and our dog. It is such a cozy place to stay for a few days. We love the wraparound deck for coffee and reading in the morning and the firepit at night for s'mores. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals and we usually grill as well. We love that our dog can come along with us and it is close to several great places for exploring and getting in the water. Definitely recommend!

Incredible cabin with plenty of space inside and out. Wonderful amenities and prime location. The host is so helpful and responds promptly as well, which is so nice. We will forever stay at Rocky Bottom Resort when we travel to Eminence!

This was a wonderful stay! Perfect for a family with dogs. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, the grounds were beautiful, and the bathroom was great for showering off the river at the end of the day. We used playing cards and small cooler the host provided while we were there and enjoyed a nice fire outside. Our only concerns were the bannister leading down the back deck stairs - it was a bit wobbly towards the bottom, and the gas grill outside seemed to struggle to maintain heat the second night we were there. No worries though because we just used the broiler in the kitchen oven instead. Would definitely book again! The hosts responded immediately when we had a question about something in the kitchen.

We like that there is a yard for our dog, everything you could ever need to cook a meal, a grill, an awesome deck with plenty of chairs to relax in and a nice firepit area. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful cabin in the heart of river country

Our stay at Rocky Bottom Ranch was absolutely perfect! We’ve stayed at many cabins for our river adventures & this one was by far the cleanest. It is conveniently located within minutes of river outfitters, state parks, restaurants, & shopping. The covered parking was a wonderful bonus. We’d recommend RBR to anyone & everyone!

Perfect getaway

This is the perfect place for a quiet family getaway. Our family loved the location and the cabin had everything we could have needed. Our kids had a blast playing in the creek outback as well as cooking smores over the fire in the fire pit. We also brought our four legged travel companion for the first time and the fenced yard was perfect to let him run and play. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We will definitely be back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Attractive cabin in a beautiful setting

The RBR was a brief but pleasant 2 night stop for our family of three. Our adult daughter gamely took the upper bunk in the diminutive children's room (probably not an option for most grownups), my husband and I took the queen bedroom and we were all comfortable. We did not try to use the sofa bed as it would have disrupted use of the sunny kitchen, dining and sitting room where it was located (our favorite space.) The shared shower was well laid out with new good quality fixtures, plenty of towels, toiletries,etc. The kitchen was particularly well stocked with supplies, cookware, snacks, nice extras that we really appreciated. We have canoed in the area before but decided to go to Rocky Falls this time. Fabulous! We can't comment on many of the cabin's listed amenities as we did not use them in our short stay. Did not turn on the TVs, play games, grill or build fires. Kudos to the wraparound covered porch where we relaxed and ate popsicles one afternoon. Our hosts were helpful and responsive to our question. All in all, a lovely rustic retreat

They Thought Of EVERYTHING!

This place was wonderful!!! So quiet and peaceful and super clean. I'm usually leery to go barefooted in places I stay, but this place was extra clean!! The house is loaded with indoor/outdoor games, children's dishes, laundry, pots, pans, margarita glasses, river towels, you name it, they have it. I was amazed at everything we found there. They even included a very thoughtful welcome basket!!!! The area was quiet and cozy and also conveniently located to Dollar General, without interfering with the cabin experience. Tons of outdoor seating for s'mores and enjoying morning coffee. The decorations are perfect and updated - my 13 year old loved it, inside and out. Emily went above and beyond with any questions we had and made check in a breeze. They also have a binder that includes places to see, eat, and bugs and wildlife in the area. I would definitely recommend them and would love to return. All of the extras made our trip a breeze! Thank you!!

Perfect cabin getaway

This cabin was PERFECT for us! Four adults and our doggos slept comfortably, played games, made waffles, grilled steaks, used the kayaks, and ran around in the fenced in yard over two days. The cabin was clean and stocked SO well. The communication was top notch, couldn’t have asked for better. There were only three adult life jackets for kayaking, so I’d maybe consider bringing your own, but that wasn’t a huge deal as there were youth ones and my mom is small 😂 honestly, so minimal in the grand scheme of the stay. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Adorable cabin with best location and amenities!

This cabin was located right on the edge of town across the street from a Dollar General, making it super convenient. However, it still has a very private feel and lots of outdoor space. The fenced in yard for our dog was such a perk. The owner is super responsive as well, which is so helpful. I am so glad I found this gem. I will definitely be booking with Russell Properties for my next Eminence stay! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Emily Russell

Host profile image
Our family of 4 likes to enjoy local experiences, especially in the great outdoors! Fishing, swimming, kayaking/ tubing, hiking, biking and eating at local restaurants & ice cream shops are our favorite!

Why they chose this property

This cabin is right at the center of SO MUCH FUN! Everytime we visit, we find out about more places that we need to check out! We LOVE floating and these are arguabley two of Missouri's most gorgeous scenic rivers! With caves to explore and rocks to jump off of, playing in these rivers is one of the best ways a family can spend their summer days!

What makes this property unique

There are 4 herds of wild horses in the area, a ranch dedicated to the repopulation of Missouri elk, among many rivers, creeks, springs and shut-ins within a 30 minute radius of Rocky Bottom Ranch! Many cabins are off the beaten path, but this one is right on highway 19 with a country setting but across from the Dollar General and only a mile for the town center of Eminence. Because of our location, we also have great wifi for work from home scenarios or streaming movies on our roku on rainy days!

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
