About this property

Secluded cabin on private property

Nestled in a natural wooded wonderland, Ridgetop Cabin features all the creature comforts and conveniences of home. Ridgetop Cabin sits on a rocky ridge above Washington State Park. The ground the cabin sits on is filled with druzy quartz crystal, and perhaps you’ll find one on a stroll or hike. The forested acres are host to a large array of insects, plants, trees, and animals. There are curious butterflies and interesting birds, and somewhere there are morel mushrooms. Whether you are making Ridgetop Cabin your “Show Me Staycation,” or you are just passing through and want a comfortable place to hang your hat, we hope you will stay at Ridgetop Cabin.

Seclusion is king.

If you like seclusion this fits the bill. Nice clean, quite cabin, comfortable beds. We found some really nice quartz crystals on the blue arrow and yellow ribbon trails, and yes we saw the guard turtle a couple of times while walking the trails. Even though we were out in the country, we were still only 15 minutes from De Soto, and Washington state park. We would recommend staying there and would stay there again ourselves.

Cute place! The cabin fulfilled my family’s needs for the weekend. The cabin is well equipped, my kids even found a set of dominoes and the game Yahtzee (my family’s favorite game)! I forgot my shampoo and condition bottles in the upstairs bathroom. Bummed me because the bottles were pretty new. So hopefully someone is enjoying the set vs. tossing them in the trash.The cabin was clean and the AC worked. Those are two key items my family and I expect to be

Special Cabin on beautiful property

This cabin is the best of both worlds-all the comforts of home in a beautifully decorated log cabin setting. Many special touches throughout and the owners were very hospitable and great communicators. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Perfect cabin

This cabin was absolutely perfect! It was easy to find yet very secluded. It was fully stocked; we had everything we needed and more! It was also very clean without a speck of dirt anywhere. The outside area was perfect for kids to explore and the fire pit area was cozy. We will definitely be staying here again!

Time to relax.

Enjoyed the cabin so much. Spent most of the day relaxing on the porch listening to the birds and looking for wildlife. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. There were so many little extras that made the stay great. Would love to come back and visit again.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

This cabin was amazing! Beautiful and comfortable inside and out. My family and I enjoyed our walks through the woods and collecting druzy quartz on this peaceful, private property. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. We all enjoyed hangin out playing Jenga (supplied by host) and spending time as a family. Long story short, it was one of our best stays!!

Perfect Quick Getaway

We loved everything about this cabin. It was quiet and secluded, but only about a 45-50 minute drive from our house in St. Louis. The cabin was very nice inside with a great kitchen and living room with a wood-burning fireplace. We had our family of 5 plus dog, and none of us wanted to leave when the weekend was over. The owners were super friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Exactly what we needed

This cabin offered the perfect get-away for our family of four. It was beautiful and cozy. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with everything we needed. Unlocking the property felt complicated but the instructions were very thorough. We will hopefully be returning soon for another relaxing weekend. Highly recommend.

Cabin Weekend

Quiet nice cabin with everything you might need for a getaway. Felt safe with all the security cameras and system. Plenty of lights which are nicely labeled on switches. Plenty of towels and blankets. Collected several nice rocks because they are located everywhere on property. Bring a shovel to help dig bigger ones! Would definitely stay there again. Would recommend taking food to cook there since drive is almost 20 minutes away for food.

Wedding weekend get away

We were attending my nieces wedding and decided to stay at Ridgetop cabin to be closer to the venue. It is such a cute cabin tucked away in the woods. The inside of the cabin is nicely decorated and very clean. The kitchen had coffee, teas, some snacks, and was well equipped with cooking supplies. Even with the rainy and stormy weather my husband and dad throughly enjoyed exploring the property, my dad found a large sparkly rock in the woods. Communication with the owners was beyond outstanding. Unfortunately there was a tornado that moved through the area. The owner was kind and kept us updated throughout the process regarding the power, as well as making sure we were safe. I honestly couldn’t recommend this property enough! If you want a little weekend get away, or a whole week get away it is the perfect location. It’s close to Washington State Park if you like being outdoors, the house also has plenty of land where you can walk around and enjoy nature, but it’s also close to town where you can grab something to eat or visit local stores!

Very clean inside. The host was responsive to questions in messaging on the app. Crystal laden rocks abound just laying on the forest floor on the property. We had a good time with the family there while we were in town for our niece's wedding at the nearby Hillsboro winery. Very quite and peaceful with friendly deer hanging around.

About the host

Hosted by Cristin Barrett

Host profile image
We are four sisters who came back to our home state of Missouri to renovate and revitalize our father's cabin.

Growing up we went on many road trips as a family. Often we went to places where our dad could take us on cowboy adventures. We went horseback riding fishing and boating. We were often in nature and we stayed in log cabins along the way. However at the time as four little girls we didn't necessarily share all the love of the outdoors with our father. So, we always stayed in a nice place with a bed and bathroom and we never camped further from the backyard porch light!

Now with Ridgetop Cabin we want to emulate that sense of exploration and adventure, and love of nature our dad imparted to us with our sense of comfort fun and indulgence.

We hope our guests enjoy the beauty of Missouri's landscape at Ridgetop Cabin with all the nonessential luxuries of home.

Happy Glamping!
The Barrett Sisters
