SECLUDED CABIN ON BIG SUGAR CREEK IN PINEVILLE, MISSOURI

The palace was perfect for a getaway. Secluded and well appointed: hot tubs inside and out, hammock for two, and fire pit to take off the night chill. You will feel like you were the last couple on earth. You could spend the whole weekend without leaving the cabin and yard, but the walk down the beautiful path to one of the clearest rivers I have ever seen in the Midwest is well worth it. The owner was great giving us tips before we got there, which made the time even more enjoyable. Trying to figure out when we can escape to come back again.

My husband I stayed at the cabin this past weekend for a bit of rest and relaxation. That it was! The cabin is perfectly outfitted and beautifully decorated. The pictures on the website don't even do it justice! It is quite spacious - even though it was just the two of us we felt even bringing our kids back would still be spacious enough. The property is perfect for hiking... prepare for a bit of a work out on some of the hills! The kitchen was stocked with every tool you need and it even supplies DVDs for your viewing pleasure. We had a fantastic time and cannot wait to return for another visit to the area!

My family spent 4 nights here in October. We had a great time. My 5 and 8 year old children spent hours playing in the creek and the woods. We also floated on Big Sugar creek, went hiking and even saw 2 bald eagles.

Now a few notes about the layout of the cabin. It was our fervent hope for us parents to sleep in a bit during our stay and we knew our kids would still be up at 7 am. When you enter the cabin, the 2nd bedroom is there on the first floor off of the entry and then there is the bathroom to your right. The master bedroom, kitchen, living area, and jacuzzi tub are all upstairs in what is essentially one open room. This is good to know if you are a family or 2 couples, etc. In order to accomplish our privacy goal, we put the kids upstairs and us parentals slept downstairs in the 2nd bedroom. That gained us an extra hour snoozing in the morning while the kids hit the cereal buffet.

The cabin is clean, well maintained and has most basic kitchen supplies. Very, very private setting. You can access the stream directly from the cabin by hiking down a very steep road about 10-15 minutes to the bottom of the bluff. Our phones mostly worked at the cabin.
