Bring chairs and sit next to the river, take a swim, dip a worm or just watch the turtles sun on the logs. Relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine watching for the occasional bald Eagle to soar up the river. The cabin has been newly renovated and is ready for guests.

This is a lovely cabin. We chose it because it was so close to the river. It has a beautiful view and had a gentle slope to walk down for river access. We enjoyed a fire in the firepit on our last evening. This was a really relaxed trip.

This is an ideal spot for relaxation and peace. It’s off the beaten path, and we saw nor heard a soul while enjoying the lovely yard and it’s view of the river. The cabin is darling, was extremely clean and well equipped. Our host was terrific - quick to respond and interested in helping make our stay enjoyable. I expect we will return!

Relaxing weekend

Very cozy little cabin right by the meramec river. We loved the sunset and the fact we still had cellular and internet service in such a remote area. The cabin was small but still had all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Loved it!

This was our second stay at this cabin. We loved it so much last year that we decided to take the 1000-mile drive to stay here again this summer. The cabin was perfect for our needs--rustic but with all the creature comforts, pet-friendly but clean and meticulously maintained, with a great yard and easy river access, secluded but close to town. Our dog absolutely loved swimming in the river! After two weeks at virtually any vacation rental, we're usually bouncing off the walls to get back home. Not this time. We would have gladly stayed longer, and we'd certainly love to rent this property again. It was that good. And the host certainly made us feel welcome with her great communication whenever we had any questions.

Great stay!

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights from 6/22-25. Completely secluded, country property right on the river. Host was very responsive the 1 time we had a question. We didn't do any kayaking or floating, but if you did you would be able to get out right at the property. Great and relaxing stay!

Great St. Louis getaway...

It is a great place to unwind and enjoy the river, the silence, the birds, and the blue Herons! Great outdoor fireplace and outdoor stove for all our needs. The house had everything we needed and more! Great place, and only saw 2 people in a kayak on 1 of the days. Great spot for fishing and putting in your kayaks or canoe.

Stunning view

We would definitely stay here again. Everything was as described in the description of the property. It was spotlessly clean. The location on the river is beautiful and private. Steelville is a nice little town with a fabulous butcher shop on the main street which should not be missed. Highly recommend!

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.

Summer Reset

We enjoyed this sweet cabin by the river for three nights. it was so clean and had all the amenities we needed. We were able to fish along the river just a short walk away and the host was very accommodating with shuttle rides so we could float the river in our kayaks. We enjoyed the town of Steelville and went into Cuba as well. We played washers in the lawn, made most meals at the cabin and didn't want to leave. It was great!
