I look for peaceful beautiful places to stay in the Ozarks and that is exactly what this was. Wonderful hospitality and everything you’d need for a little trip away from it all.

We stayed at the bunk house it was very clean had everything we needed for our two night stay we floated the jacks fork river was nice coming off the river to relax will definitely go back
What a great getaway we had. Lisa was so amazing and helped us settle in and find our way around. The cabin was perfect for my husband and I.
We are looking forward to going back next year!
The location was isolated from crowds with peaceful evenings. The cabin was perfect for my stay with a full kitchen, television, temperature controlled environment, washer and dryer, and full bath.
Beautiful piece of property to get away from everything! The bunkhouse was nice and cozy. Lisa was amazing. Showed great hospitality and put us right on a herd of wild horses. Also made some great suggestions for things to see. We had a great 2 night stay
Scott and Lisa were great hosts. They were very responsive and I enjoyed talking with each of them while we were there. We were concerned about driving their in our Tesla but they have a couple of RV Hookups right at the cabin that allowed us to quickly charge (about 30 miles of range for each hour), which gave us peace of mind and got us back on the road with no issues. Thank you guys.

We had a great trip. The cabin was very clean and they supplied anything you needed. Lisa and Scott are a wonderful couple. Highly recommended and plan on using, again in the future.
Thanks, Peggy
This was a mom and son trip. My friend and I took our two teenage boys…. To say that it was such an enjoyable experience would be a complete understatement…. This is a slice of heaven on earth!
Property was the cleanest the interior design and decor were the best I have ever stayed at in the Eminence area. Scott and Lisa were great hosts and the additional amenity's of the new Whisky River Bar along with food from Shortys Rolling Grill not to mention horseback riding and horse stalls for your own really make this a one stop destination. We will back.
We enjoyed our adventure in the Missouri Ozarks so much! So many waterways to see and saw the Wild Horses twice and I got to check that off my bucket list! The property was clean and comfortable and the hosts showed their hospitality, they are very friendly and accommodating! We hope to come back with our horses sometime in Fall. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!
Despite the constant, drenching rain, I enjoyed my quiet solitude retreat. The picture made me think it was more isolated than it is (there are other cabins and the trail-riding stables right across the road), but given the weather and time of year, I pretty much had the place to myself. The cabin itself is tiny, but very clean and well supplied. The hosts are very friendly and responsive and I would highly recommend if you’re in the area. The dirt road in May be a little intimidating for a small car, but was no problem for my Outback, despite the rainy conditions and minor rain runoff damage.
