Liked: Cleanliness, check-in

Disliked: Communication

Disappointed with lack of communication with property owner regarding stay.

Main floor was extremely HOT (before attempting to cook, before opening the door, regardless of the temp outside) and we weren't even going in and out. (It appears several "a/c vents" have been covered up on main flooring. When asking owner for suggestions regarding a/c and optimum air flow due to door leading downstairs, as well as upper loft with vaulted ceiling. We were also wanting to not "overwork" the system if that was the best it could be. We accidentally left a personally valuable item and owner has only responded once as to say they would check with cleaning staff. It was nice staying on the river, but the steep incline makes the advantage worthless. The info in the add stated local places to rent an adequate vehicle for the incline, but they no longer do this. Owner was NOT helpful in helping us find anything else other than just don't stop there. Dissappointed. Main floor stayed above 82 degrees the entire time (night and day). No tv on main floor, splits the group. Perhaps good for families with kids. Beds have plastic sheeting. Disgusting. Mattresses are old and worn.

Labor Day weekend 2023

This is the second time we have rented and the house is roomy and kitchen and bathrooms well stocked. The house is clean enough but there was definitely a spider problem this time. The lower deck needs some major cleaning but the upper deck is good. Needs a good bug man and probably some TLC on the outside. The neighbors are awesome and the beds are clean and comfortable!

It was a great cabin! We all enjoyed it very much! The hill to the water was brutal. I would recommend fixing that for clients or be more up front about it. It is dangerous unless you are about 11-35! The location was great and very easy to get to and close to town.

16th Birthday Float Trip!

We took my son and his friends on a float trip. The house was absolutely perfect for our weekend. It was close to The Landing. We made dinner and hung out on the deck in the evening. We loved watching the floaters and boaters. The path to the river was super steep and would not work for everyone. It was a great house and we had a wonderful and memorable weekend!

Wonderful stay!

This was a perfect house for our big family. Very nice and cozy. The hill to the beach is steep but luckily we had our side by side to get us up and down the hill.

River access, accommodates many!

We came for the river and we’re glad to have a place with river access. The place was clean and big enough for our group. Appliances worked well and owner is fast to respond to questions. Easy check in and out.

Family Time

The house was perfect for our family. Very comfortable. House had all the cooking and bedding supplies needed. Tan short on paper towels and toilet paper but the response to get more was quick. The community had the water shut down a couple times but it wasn’t for long. Overall it was a wonderful trip. We would definitely stay here again.

Cabin

The entire family immensely enjoyed our stay here. The Cabin was spacious, and clean, and the large decks were spacious enough for all 10 of us to eat outside. Our own private beach area on the river was wonderful. I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

June stay

Everything was near perfect except getting down to the water. 75-100 yards down very steep, uneven ground. A bit risky (in my opinion) for older adults and small children.

Friends Getaway!

This property was perfect for our group! We had 4 families with kids ranging from 8mo to 10yr. The house fit us great and the amenities were above and beyond what we expected. We will definitely be staying again. The only downside of the property was the steep hill for the smaller kids.

Annual Family Vacation

Wonderful stay at the Hilltop Hideway. This was our second time renting this home. The view is fantastic, the home is marvelous with plenty of room for 10 people. We enjoyed the gravel beach at the bottom of the hill on Saturday playing in the water and having a picnic. We will be coming back.

Love current

I’ve been coming to current River 45+ years, never been to south of confluence which is fabulous!! House is amazing! Beautiful beach to hang out. Only downside is the hike down the steep hill or drive. Unfortunately the neighbors paved driveway is gated and the driveway provided is dangerous, so we walked carrying all our stuff. Otherwise would stay again and again

Very nice location on the river

Great location very close to Van Buren right on the river. There is quite a hill from the house to the river. The house is located in a private association which allows you to use the deer run access to the river. We use that two of our days and it was very nice spot on the river

Well equipped cabin

We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and the one thing they are always missing is a pizza cutter and pizza pan. This one has both and we knew we had found a great place. But, if that doesn't excite you like it does our family, the cabin and scenery is beautiful. There were 7 of us who stayed for our annual Thanksgiving and Christmas celebration and there was plenty of room for everyone. You will want to be the first one to arrive so that you can claim the master bedroom/bathroom because it is HUGE. This is a great property and we would definitely stay again.

Great location, beautiful home on the river!

We had a wonderful time in the beautiful river-front home. We had plenty of space for our party of 10 and enjoyed the gravel bar. The path to the gravel bar is walkable but a tough walk. My only complaint was there was zero hot water in the master bathroom shower. All other areas of the house had hot water, so we made due for the Holiday weekend. I messaged the host but never heard a response. Before you reserve -- I would confirm that the hot water issue has been resolved! Other than that, I'd highly reccomend!

Beautiful Cabin and Amenities

We chose this property for the destination of our friend group's 7th annual float trip that we used as a Bachelor Party for one of our closest friends, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The cabin was beautiful, clean, well kept, and perfectly fit all of us. Owner's of the neighboring cabins were kind as well. Would highly recommend for any sort of getaway, family or friends. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Jocelyn

We are a family who live in St. Louis and have roots in southern Missouri. Although we live in the city, we have an affinity for the river lifestyle. One of our favorite places to visit to live this lifestyle is on the Current and visit its sister river, The Jack's Fork. We love to travel and have lodged in many VRBO properties throughout the world and feel that we have the experience to make your stay an enjoyable one.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of its rustic charm, amazing views, and central location in the middle of the Ozark Scenic National River Country. There are so many incredible attractions and adventures within minutes of the location. Floating on the Current River is one of the most amazing experiences, and at this location, you are near the Landing and have a place to stop for lunch during your float. Other nearby attractions include Clearwater Lake, Johnson Shut Ins, The Jack's Fork River, Big Springs, and Mark Twain National Forest and Parks.

What makes this property unique

This property includes a wrap-around deck and floor to vaulted ceiling picture windows. The elevation of the home bestows a scenic overlook providing a view of long stretches of the river and its surrounding landscape. Wildlife and bird watching activities are always an option and the property allows for relaxation and comfort.
