This home offers access no other nearby property has. A private trail that begins on the property and connects directly into Table Rock State Park.
You step outside and are immediately connected to miles of hiking, waterfalls and forest without driving, parking or navigating crowds.
It is an experience no other VRBO can offer.
The setting feels quiet and tucked away and the property itself provides a strong sense of privacy once you are on site.
The Space:
This historic park ranger cottage sits on two private acres at the edge of Table Rock State Park.
You have the entire home and outdoor space to yourself. The cottage is positioned and landscaped in a way that feels calm and private once you settle in. The private trail begins just out the front door and leads directly into the park’s trail system. Guests regularly hike to waterfalls, the lake and overlooks without ever getting in the car. Many mention that once they arrive, they rarely feel the need to leave.
After a day outdoors, the pace naturally slows. Relax in the hot tub on the lower deck framed by the trees. The fire pit is intimate and starlit. The garden and grill area are meant for long evenings rather than quick meals. Inside, the house blends rustic character with modern comfort. It is intentionally simple, clean and functional. It is a comfortable and well equipped base for spending time outside and relaxing afterward.
