The word that comes to mind is thoughtful. Everything in the house was thoughtfully placed. Kitchen amenities, travel ideas, etc. My wife and i spent a wekeend for our anniversary and the owner left us a card. Just so sweet! Home is perfect for a quick vacation. Plenty of room for just about anything. It appears to be a remodel from not too far back so everything looked new. It was a perfect stay and the area provides lots of hikeing options, several falls not too far from this location.

Fantastic property, fantastic host

Billie was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great. My buddies and i were on a motorcycle trip and with the threat of severe storms, she was nice enough to allow us to park under the covered front patio. The cottage was clean, and had everything we could need. Billie even gave us a charcuterie board! I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Cute and clean cottage

We stayed for one night while we explored the Buffalo River area. The cottage was extremely clean and updated with everything you could need. The fireflies and bright stars at night made this stay so magical and relaxing, highly recommend!

Great place

Location was wonderful. Just far enough outside the city to be quiet and safe for children to run around, but close enough to be in the city in a few minutes. Good communication from host made finding the place much easier than Google Maps tried to make it.

We would stay here again!

Location was 45 +/- minutes from Branson. It was easy to get to eventhough it was a bit of a hike. Since it is pet friendly we had pet hair on our clothes/ belongings. However, this did not subtract from the overrall cleanliness. We would stay here again!

Wonderful stay!!

What a great getaway! We booked this adorable cottage as a place to stay after day hiking along the Buffalo River. It was an easy drive to local trailheads. This might have been the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. And I love the decorating style. It was the prefect end to our day to relax in total comfort or sit around the fire. Thank you for sharing this gem of a property. We are already making plans for next year and staying at this property is totally part of our plans.

Quick trip to town for funeral

My sister and I had to come to town for a funeral as we had an aunt that passed away. I didn’t want stay in a hotel so we rented this beautiful cottage. It was very cozy comfortable and super clean. Billie couldn’t be nicer. She was very accommodating and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Billie 😊❤️

Other Than Coffee Issue

Other than the listing stating a ”coffee maker“ which turned out to be a Kuerig machine”, the place was very nice. There should be one of the cups that you can put your own coffee to use in the machine. Also you had to pull up on the bathroom door to get the lock to catch. I would rent it again.

Wonderful Property.

The cottage was spacious, clean, well equipped and very peaceful. It’s a beautiful, about 30 minute drive, to Ponca where many of the trailheads are and about 20 minutes to Jasper. The value for cost is excellent as it can sleep up to 6 people. I’d highly recommend!

Father and son hiking/fishing trip

The property was better than the pictures even show! Super clean…everything looks like it’s a new property. The location was perfect…quiet and beautiful scenery, but central to hiking and fishing. Can be at a restaurant within 15-20 minutes. The host was also super…responded within minutes to any questions, and super helpful navigating the area since I’d never been in the area. Will definitely stay here again
