Hidden Gem

This property is perfect for anyone that desires a secluded getaway. The grounds are vast with amazing views and trails for the nature lover. The owner, Linda, is wonderful and responds quickly to texts. The dining table had a tray of snacks and candy that was enjoyed after long hikes. Also had K-cups for that much needed quick cup of Joe. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with my beloved golden doodle, he also gives The Loft of Arcadia 5 woofs!!!

Spacious, comfortable cabin in a beautiful setting

Three couples shared this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin for a long weekend getaway. Everything was wonderful-- from the well-stocked kitchen to the screened-in porch to the living room with plenty of seating and a large TV. We enjoyed hiking on the trails on the property. The cabin was clean and had everything that we needed. Communication with Linda was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay-- thank you!

Beautiful Property

The house fit our family well and was located close to town which was convenient. The host was very responsive and nice. We absolutely loved the farm and the use of the trails and lake. Beds were comfortable. We only stayed a few days so not having a washer and dryer wasn’t a deal breaker but for a longer stay we probably would have looked for a place with that amenity available as kids get clothes dirty and being able to wash them would be a nice. We’d definitely stay here again.

Fall family getaway

The house was well suited to our needs and nicely situated to area attractions. We stayed for two nights with our four adult children (in Missouri from out of state) to explore the area—Elephant Rocks, Taum Sauk, the Pilot Knob battlefield and visitor center. House was clean, spacious, comfortable, very quiet and peaceful. Clear, prompt communication with the host and clear directions about finding and accessing the property. We enjoyed playing board games, grilling, talking, and the area sights but ran out of time for the fire pit and walking trails on the property. Next time…

About the host

Hosted by Linda

My husband and I moved to the Valley back in 2014. We bought the Iron County Farms next to this property in 2013, which was once a Thoroughbred farm. We decided to run cattle on it. In 2020 we turned one of our big barn lofts into a wedding venue. Keeping the original woodwork of this beautiful 100-year-old barn intact. It's definitely one of a kind. In August of 2021 We had the chance to purchase this wonderful 38 acres that sits adjacent to our farm, that would give us 3 additional venues, plus 6 Cabins. We were so excited for this new property. In January of 2022 we finally took over ownership of this beautiful property and in May of 2022 decided to share our cabins with all of you! We hope you love them and the property as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The thing we enjoy most about this property is its beauty and history. We love that it's just a mile outside of town, but you feel a million miles away.

What makes this property unique

In the early 1900's this property was a Methodist kid's camp called Epworth Among the Hills. The big Pavillion you will see on the hill of this property is from the 1904 World's Fair of St. Louis. The two-story red Mission House was established in 1907 and was where the missionaries would stay. Alot of kids spent their summers on this beautiful property. The camp shut its doors in the late 1990's and new owners bought it in 2001 and did a wonderful job refurbing all the original cabins and the Riverstone lodge. The boy cabins still sit in the original state but gutted and new roofs until we decided how we want to refurbish them. My husband and I owning the farm next door and turning one of our 100-year-old barns into a wedding/event venue, when this property became available to purchase, we didn't have to think twice. We took over ownership in January of 2022. We changed some furnishing inside the cabins, installed charter and some TV's. Then in May of 2022 we decided to put the cabins on short term rental sites so everyone could come and enjoy the beauty and history of this best kept secret in the Valley. We also do large and small group retreats, with or without meals, weddings and all other events. So, when you come and stay with us, take some time to walk around and breathe in a little bit of history.
