This is by far one of the nicest properties we have stayed at! Very very clean and I have high standards! Love how you can access the water! The owner was easy to communicate with and even allowed some special requests. I love supporting these small businesses especially when you can tell they are making an obvious effort for their guests!

Unique Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in the covered wagon. It was very clean, smelled amazing, and the string lights gave it such a cozy vibe.It rained the first night we were there and we loved listening to the sounds of the raindrops on the canvas. We would definitely stay here again.

The wagon is so cute and comfortable. I love that it has a bathroom in it. The walk to the river is not bad at all and the river is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kris is super friendly and a wonderful host.

My husband and I needed a relaxing weekend away, this was the best way we could have spent it!! The wagon was perfect in size, the bathroom was so cutely decorated, the sink was amazing, after our sit in the creek just down the path, the shower and tub were the perfect way to end our day. The frig and microwave were just the perfect size for us and worked out great. The welcome letter on the shelves with books and games was nice to have for reference of things to and things to see in the area. Although we stuck pretty close to the wagon it was nice to know what our options were. The owner was fantastic on communicating the directions, code for the door and check in times. We would definitely stay again and also looked at the other cabins for options to bring kids and grands down next time. Thank you for the thought and planning you did on this weekend getaway spot, we will absolutely stay again.

The perfect view of the sunset from our little spot for the weekend. The owners did a great job with placement of the wagon when they built it.

The fire ring was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunset.

Wagon Day

The covered wagon was super cute. There was plenty of space and everything was comfortable. Nice little walk to river, beautiful place to stroll. Too cold during our trip to dip toes in the water. Short. nice drive from I 40. Ours was just a stop on our way through but this is a great place to spend time.

The wagon is outstanding

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the wagon! The instructions regarding what is and isn't included were spot on. So be sure you read the instructions sent and bring your own linens....bed and bath. The cell service is almost non-existent but the wifi does the trick. We brought wood from the house and enjoyed an excellent fire. Overall, we will definitely stay again when in the area!

Excellent Experience

My wife and I had so much fun this past weekend. We had never been to the Ozarks and decided to stay in the cover wagon. Temperatures were as low as 22 degrees, the heater in the cabin worked well and we stayed warm. Since water lines to the wagon are exposed, there is a heat coil that we plugged in to keep the water running. The wagon is roomy, comfortable and very clean. The town of Oark is wonderful. Food at the general store is excellent and the owner is a real gem.

Nature Respite

The property was absolutely amazing. I throughly enjoyed every moment of my stay, until the neighbors with side by sides and 4 wheelers checked in. I understand there are trails to ride and such, but the loops around the yard and through the pasture were quite disruptive. Other than, it was great!

This is the cutest little wagon! Beautiful location and far enough from civilization but close enough to the sweet little Oark cafe. However, the WiFi signal was terrible, the water in the shower was *cold*, and having to bring my own sheets and towels was a big pain. While my daughter and I enjoyed our stay, going camping would’ve been just as fun, and a great deal cheaper.

Weekend Getaway

My wife and I had a great weekend away. We took the jeep out on the trails for the day and headed back to our awesome little stay at the covered wagon. We recommend bringing a comforter or sleeping bag. It’s easier to cool the place than warm it. It was clean and cozy! It was so nice to take a hot shower after a day full of chasing waterfalls. It’s not far from Bryd’s Adventure area where we enjoyed a delicious steak dinner and the Oark Cafe where we had a great breakfast before heading back to reality.

It was a beautiful area and a great experience. The wagon was inviting and clean. We were fortunate enough to see lots of stars before it got cloudy. Needs outdoor lighting. Ensure you drive a vehicle that is a truck or SUV to be able to get up the driveway when leaving.
