About this property

Stunning Historic Home, Stone Wine Room, Romantic Outdoor Space, Close to Downtown Hollister

Welcome to Camp Johnson, a historic gem located at the MoPac railstop in Downtown Hollister, Mo. This 1922 home, steeped in Hollister history, seamlessly blends the charm of the past with modern conveniences. Once the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Johnson, a power couple who significantly contributed to Hollister's development, including the construction of Downing Street and the introduction of the Iron Mountain railway, this 2-story, 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is a testament to their legacy.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a hand-laid stone fireplace, a symbol of the home's historic charm. The winding staircase, leading to a cozy wine bar, adds a touch of modern elegance. The exterior of the property continues the uniqueness with hand-laid local rock stairwells that guide you to a patio tucked in the hillside. Here, you can enjoy the view of the railroad while feeling secluded, nestled into nature.

One of the home's most distinctive features is a bathroom where the natural rock cliff is exposed, complete with trickling water, creating a cavern like retreat.

Staying at Camp Johnson is more than just a vacation; it's an immersive journey into Hollister's rich history, a comfortable retreat with modern amenities, and a unique opportunity to create unforgettable memories. Book your stay at Camp Johnson today and step into a piece of Hollister's history. This home sleeps up to 8 guests with 2 King suites and a double Queen bedroom.

Please note that a freight train passes by nightly, adding a touch of nostalgic charm to your stay.

Very nice
Will stay again. Love how quaint and peaceful it is. Close to the lights and sounds of Brason yet feels very far away. Also, loved watching the Polar Express go by😊

Historic Gem
Great spot for railfans or those that enjoy historic places. Family friendly set up. The layout is set up well for a small space with the common area being functional for eating together and playing games. Great outdoor spaces. Lots of steps to get to one cabin while the other has ramp access. Historic downtown Hollister is within walking distance and so is the city park.

Unique and very close to Branson
We loved our stay at Camp Johnson. It is such a unique house and so interesting to read about it’s history. The house has been remodeled beautifully and the decor is gorgeous and the bathroom built into the mountain is so unique. We loved being so close to Branson but outside of the chaos. The nearby little town of Hollister is so cute and built like an Old English village. Just beware if you have mobility issues, this isn’t the house for you due to a lot of stairs, but we wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again.
