About The Owner

We bought this wonderful log home as our family get-away, close to home, about 10 years ago. We have so many wonderful family memories with our kids growing up, adventures out on the river (swimming, boating, waterskiing), entertaining friends... Our kids are now grown and we were not using our lovely cabin as much, so we decided to share it with other people so that they can create and enjoy fun memories of vacations as well. If you want a peaceful setting, winter or summer, this is it! Nature surrounds the cabin and is fun to watch from the deck. Bald Eagles and Golden eagles abound Dec-Feb! Deer visit year-round. Fishing is fun in the summer too....or just relax and barbeque on the deck with the fabulous view.

The Owner purchased this house in 2000
Why The Owner chose St. Louis

We love the cabin because while it is secluded, peaceful, and off the beaten path, it is only 15 minutes to get to grocery stores/shopping/entertainment.

Very disappointing! There were mouse traps in all the rooms of the house. We had a bird come into the house thru a wood stove vent that did his business in many places in the house and on some of our personal items--owners were more concerned with the welfare of the bird than with our safety or comfort. The owners required us to take the garbage with us when we left yet did not provide a dumpster or garbage service. There was a tornado warning in the area during our stay, yet there was no flashlight in the home or any instructions/directions on where to seek shelter in the event of a storm or emergency. For a five day stay, we were provided one wash cloth and one towel per person yet were not allowed to use the washer/dryer. Property is listed as having RV parking, would be difficult to find any area of the yard that would be level enough for an RV. Much clutter throughout the house, many utensils in the kitchen were unusable, many window screens missing... This property needs lots of general upkeep and TLC. Would not recommend this property or wish to stay here again.
Owner's Response: We were so saddened that one of our guests was disappointed with their stay. We understand their frustration that we did not provide instructions to go into the cellar during an emergency and we will address that in the future. In addition, our beautiful family cabin was never intended to compete or compare with the amenities of a 5-star hotel with laundry service. It is a country cabin. And, yes, it is true that our family does have a passion for wildlife.

Perfect Spring Break

We just got back from several days at this beautiful cabin! Everything about our stay there was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed spending time on the deck listening to the beauty of the QUIET, sitting in the hot tub, playing games (Shut-the-Box was a family favorite) with our kids in the evening. Celia has been very accommodating. The kids asked when we were pulling out to come home if we could go back every spring break!

We rented this cabin for a family Thanksgiving celebration. We found it to be very comfortable with beautiful views of the Mississippi. We had our Thanksgiving feast on the deck it was so beautiful this year. The owners were great to work with. Lovely people.

This was PERFECT . All information supplied was complete and is exactly what we found. The owners were very helpful and answered any questions that we had in a timely manner. We loved the cabin and privacy of the location. Sitting on the deck watching the river roll along was soooo relaxing. It was just wonderful to be away from the hustle and bustle of cities and interstates. Also, it was convenient for our needs in visiting St. Louis one day and the drive to Columbia for the GA/MO football game was not bad at all-- especially the drive home late that night because we were the victors.

Great home from home

5 of 5
Submitted: August 10, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
What a great location and oh so quiet; total bliss to unwind. The deck turned out to be lovely of an evening to relax after a day in the city.
The home, as you'd expect given its location, is surrounded by wildlife, deers, more deers, birds of prey, an otter like creature, herons and fish and come close to the house. A lovely farmer [also named Jeff] introduced himself and kept an eye on things in our absence, which was rather nice given the remote location.

The house itself is very well appointed and comfortable, and dealing with the owners was a delight.

There was an incredible electric storm over the city that was wonderful to watch from our deck and provided more than a few hours of entertainment.

This home turned out to be a great base to explore the city [only 30 minutes away] and to fully relax afterwards.

We will return in the future of that I am sure.
