About this property
Spacious 2 bed, Hot tub, beautiful back deck overlooking Meramec River
It’s a delicate balance, finding an idyllic Ozark mountain hideaway that’s both laid back and a touch rustic while at the same time a bit luxurious, too. When you’re searching for your perfect vacation in the Ozarks, you ideally want both! And here, at Riverview Cabin, you have found it. Featuring a charming, classic cabin exterior with views of the Meramec River through the lush landscape, Riverview Cabin has a modern, sleek interior design that’s both spotlessly clean and incredibly comfy.
An Open, Inviting Great Room
Enter through the front door and step into the bright, open great room, where the living and dining spaces merge seamlessly. In the living area, there are two spacious sofas that face a large HDTV, creating the perfect space to curl up with some of your favorite snacks for a Netflix binge.
In the kitchen, there’s a central island with four bar stools that are illuminated with a lovely light fixture and act as both a workspace and a casual dining space. The updated kitchen has natural wood cabinetry topped with glossy quartz countertops. Newer stainless steel appliances include a huge refrigerator, an electric range with a vent hood, and a dishwasher. There’s also a countertop microwave and coffee maker. Open shelving is stacked with beautiful dishware and glassware.
Two Relaxing Bedrooms and One Bath
Each of the two bedrooms has an inviting queen-size bed made up with crisp white cotton sheets. The windows include modern blinds that help block out the sunshine, for those days when you want to sleep in or catch an afternoon cat nap. In the one bathroom, there’s a large tile step-in shower with glass doors and a single marble-topped vanity sink.
A Back Porch Paradise
Chances are, as comfortable as the interior of Riverview Cabin is, you’ll find you spend most of your time outside on the back porch. Out here, there’s an incredibly relaxing hot tub that’s a serene spot to soak after a day on the river or nearby hiking trails. There’s also a space for alfresco dining, and the stairs lead down to a classic fire pit and BBQ grill, where you can cook burgers, roast marshmallows, and sip wine while you gaze at the river below or the stars in the sky.
Guest River Access
For our guests, we offer two private, ultra-convenient Meramec River access points. The first guest access point is about a mile and a half from Riverview Cabin and has a grassy area for lawn chairs, a pop-up canopy, a large bluff across the river, and a sunny swimming hole. The second guest access point is about three miles away and has a covered pavilion with a deck overlooking the river, a fun bar area, a fireplace, a fridge, and a sink with running water. There are also corn-hole boards, lots of shade, and a swimming area. This cool spot sits 100 yards above the fishing springs cave as well. From each of these amazing access points, you can float, kayak, fish, or simply relax and enjoy your time in nature.
At this time, the river view that you can see from the cabin is not available for guest use; it is private property.

About the host
Hosted by Jessica
This idyllic location has been in my family for five generations. Originally purchased by my great-great-grandfather, my great-grandfather was born in the original farmhouse. Then my grandmother, her twin sister, my own mother, and I were all lucky enough and blessed to have grown up cradled within this picturesque and peaceful piece of land.
Excited and inspired to share our love of this land with others, my husband Justin and I started 4J Vacation Rentals in 2020 with two homes— Country Cabin & Hillside— that were each built and lived in by my grandparents and my great-grandmother. In 2021, we purchased the neighboring 16 acres and 4 cabins— Dogwood, Sassafras, Copperstone, and Murphy’s Retreat— that overlook the Meramec River, and our vision of sharing this land was magnified and expanded beyond our wildest dreams.
Additionally, Justin and I also run a nearby cattle farm, and my mom and I have started a non-profit equine therapy practice for those with special needs. Justin and I have two kids who love to run around and explore the surrounding rolling hills and sparkling riverbed, just like I did when I was a kid, and my mom did before me.
This land is a magical place we so enjoy sharing— and seeing guests like you fall in love with it is such a rewarding feeling. Waking up to see the morning sunrise through the mist as it rises off the Meramec River Valley is a truly spiritual experience— one that will effortlessly bring you the serenity and tranquility you crave, and that are so lacking in the world today. But don’t take my word for it. Book your next escape and come see us soon.
