Your own retreat on a 70 acre wooded property. Sleeps five comfortably.

**Internet & Wifi **

This secluded country cottage is located approximately 30 miles south of the center of Hermann, with many attractions close by. The home is back in the woods, with a scenic 3.5-acre pond located right outside your door. The pond is stocked with fish just waiting to bite! The property is designated as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat as well as a Monarch Waystation.

Your cozy cabin includes a large eating/dining area with a dining room table as well as a bar and four stools. There are gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. The full-service kitchen includes a refrigerator/freezer, electric stove, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker. Many pantry staples are provided.

There is a sunny patio area, as well as a large porch for your relaxation. There are plenty of books, both for children and adults, as well as a variety of games to enjoy.

The home has both central air conditioning and heating for your comfort, as well as a large wood stove.

The house has three sliding glass doors that open onto a porch with a beckoning view of the pond. There is over a mile of trails through the woods for your hiking pleasure. Wildlife is abundant throughout the property, including wild turkeys, hawks, deer, and bunnies. There is a charcoal grill on the patio. In addition, there is a fire ring down by the pond so that you can make authentic S'mores or gaze at the stars. Attractions located within 20 miles include restaurants, wineries, antiquing, caving, hiking, and rafting. Hermann, Cuba, Leasburg, Steelville, St. James and Rolla are all a reasonable distance away.

Wonderful dog get away

This is a perfect place to take your pups for rest and relaxation. There are trails to explore off leash, a pond with kayaks and canoe, games to play, a cozy fire, a fully stocked kitchen, anything your dog might need, a hammock by the water…we could come here every weekend!

We'll be back!

This was our 2nd time staying here. We bring our dogs to run free and go hiking on the trails. The wood burning stove is an added bonus during the winter. We enjoy the quiet of nature and snuggling with the pups on the big couch playing games! We will be back a 3rd time!

Peaceful and great fun for a family

Beautiful land, great home, and all the things to entertain a family with two young boys. The trails on the property are wonderful, we brought bird, plant and animal track guides to identify all the things we found on nature hikes. Our boys are expert fishermen after spending every day on the dock and paddling in the canoe. You can watch everything from the covered front porch. Owner provided firewood for the firepit and was very helpful!

Vacation from our vacation

We we’re doing some traveling and decided we wanted to extend our trip a little for us. We’ve stayed here 2 other times, and the peace, quiet, and seclusion are always just what the doctor ordered. We lucked out, the weather was amazing and we just stuck around enjoying the views.

Peaceful and Well Kept!

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here, and the only rental we have ever stayed at more than once. It is a wonderful get away if you want somewhere secluded and quiet with a lake. My husband and kids really enjoy the kayaks and fishing. I enjoy that I get to see them enjoying it from the living room!

Great Weekend Getaway

The property was great. Access to a nice sized little lake with a canoe, two kayaks, fire pit, and great hiking trails on property. It rained a lot when we were down there which had an effect on the well water so make sure to bring pretty of bottled water to drink just in case.

Lovely Getaway

This is the perfect, relaxing getaway for my sister and me and our dogs. The house is cozy and the property is beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking but also spent most of our time just sitting on the dock feeding the turtles. The dogs loved having free roaming privileges. I'm sure there are plenty of activities nearby, but we were happy to just hang at the property. We will be back.
