About this property

Tranquil Two Bedroom home on 300 Acre Farm with Private River Access

Perched on a hillside overlooking the picturesque valley below, Hillside Cabin is a tranquil, two-bedroom home where you can hang your hat and truly relax. Surrounded by a working cattle ranch, you’ll have plenty of unspoiled acres to explore as well as the nearby Meramec River to enjoy. Within an easy driving distance to some of the Missouri Ozark’s most notable wineries and close to the riverside access point as well, Hillside Cabin is sure to please everyone in your group.

A Hillside Home Base
Through the front door lies the simple living area, with a plush sofa and easy chair and a large HDTV. Overhead, the galvanized metal ceiling adds an industrial feel. Around the corner is the fully-equipped galley kitchen— complete with a gas range, refrigerator, microwave, and drip coffee maker. Nearby is the formal dining space, with a farmhouse-style table that seats four next to a vintage hutch.

Inviting Sleeping Spaces
Each of the two bedrooms has plenty of privacy and peace, so everyone has the opportunity to recharge at the end of the day. The first bedroom features a comfy queen-size bed, and the second bedroom includes a full-size bed. There is also a sleeper sofa in the living area, and the full bathroom has a tub/shower combo.

A Spacious Back Porch
The large covered back porch overlooks the rolling hillside and the peaceful woodlands and includes a barbecue for grilling fresh 4J Cattle Farm burgers and steaks. There are also plenty of lounge chairs and a picnic table for alfresco dining. The large surrounding yard is vibrant green in the warmer months and includes a circular fire pit for roasting marshmallows in the twilight. Chances are, you’ll find you spend a majority of your time out here, relaxing with a local vintage wine and watching the fireflies.

Escape to Hillside Cabin
When it’s time to venture out and explore your beautiful surroundings, the private Meramec River access point is close by, with a small pavilion for riverside picnics and a bluff for the daredevils in your group to jump off. The river is great for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing, too. Hillside Cabin is the ideal escape for the whole family.

Summer Fun

This was a great stay with fun to river access. Our float got cancelled due to sever storms and dangerous conditions on the water, but there were still safe spots to hang on the the water. We’d definitely go back since it’s a short drive from the city.

Poor communication with property manager

Although the property was nicely maintained, it would have been more enjoyable if we had some direct communication with the property manager other than messaging through VRBO. We did not have phone service at this location. The map of the property was not beneficial.

Favorite trip we’ve ever gone on.

In short, every second of this trip was amazing! I could not believe how beautiful this place was in person. As soon as we got there one of the owners Justin came down, gave a full rundown of everything we could do, gave fun ideas and even helped to unload the heavy stuff. Jessica the other owner was so helpful and extremely quick to respond. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and clean. The kids ages ranged from 4-10 (4 altogether) and every single one of them want to go back asap. It was relaxing but so much to do at the same time. We are already planning our next trip back! Thank you guys for renting out a little piece of heaven on earth!!

Our 2 day getaway!

Everything was nice for us. Love the property and learned a little about what to expect next time. I would have given all 5 stars, except out of 49+ pictures, you would never know there’s another cabin next door. It was empty our first night but ppl stayed the second night. They were very nice but I just had a picture of a little more privacy. A small section of privacy fence or even a short row of a few evergreen trees would help a lot. Beautiful views and it would make a fine vacation spot. We plan on a return trip but we will stay at least 3 nights as two just wasn’t quite enough time. Thank you for having us and we will not forget our trip. We may try and order some of the special raised cattle meat. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Just what we were looking for!

I wanted to find a quiet place on rural land not too far from St. Louis to get away for a few days, and this place was PERFECT! No complicated check-in/check-out, and directions were very clear. Beds were comfortable with plenty of good pillows. Great to be able to bring the dog along too!

Beautiful Spot

The cabin is set on a beautiful property! Jessica was great and very helpful. The cabins are spaced out and the people are quiet. It was the perfect spot for our family to get away and go hiking in some of the nearby parks. Steeleville is close and has a grocery story and dining. We would stay again.

Great Experience - terrible advertising

Property was gorgeous with some amazing views, cabin was very clean but lacked some basic kitchen essentials we didn’t expect to have to go buy ourselves - location is beautiful but definitely not as secluded as advertising states (there is another cabin right next door) Also the first night we had a farm dog running around our cabin all night so it made us a little hesitant to let ours out .. Owner was great at responding quickly to any needs & overall we had a great trip! I’d recommend :)

We stayed with our little girl as a short get away. It was perfect for our little family. My husband and I loved the peace and quiet, and our kiddo loved all of the new space to explore outside. Beautiful scenery, amazing quality family time, and Jessica was super responsive as a host. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
This idyllic location has been in my family for five generations. Originally purchased by my great-great-grandfather, my great-grandfather was born in the original farmhouse. Then my grandmother, her twin sister, my own mother, and I were all lucky enough and blessed to have grown up cradled within this picturesque and peaceful piece of land.
Excited and inspired to share our love of this land with others, my husband Justin and I started 4J Vacation Rentals in 2020 with two homes— Country Cabin & Hillside— that were each built and lived in by my grandparents and my great-grandmother. In 2021, we purchased the neighboring 16 acres and 4 cabins— Dogwood, Sassafras, Copperstone, and Murphy’s Retreat— that overlook the Meramec River, and our vision of sharing this land was magnified and expanded beyond our wildest dreams.
Additionally, Justin and I also run a nearby cattle farm, and my mom and I have started a non-profit equine therapy practice for those with special needs. Justin and I have two kids who love to run around and explore the surrounding rolling hills and sparkling riverbed, just like I did when I was a kid, and my mom did before me.
This land is a magical place we so enjoy sharing— and seeing guests like you fall in love with it is such a rewarding feeling. Waking up to see the morning sunrise through the mist as it rises off the Meramec River Valley is a truly spiritual experience— one that will effortlessly bring you the serenity and tranquility you crave, and that are so lacking in the world today. But don’t take my word for it. Book your next escape and come see us soon.

Why they chose this property

The Hillside Cabin holds a special place in my heart as it is the home that my great grandma lived in for years. It is located on the farm within a mile of our private river areas and has a great view of the valley below. At certain times of the year you will see cattle in the front pasture as you come down the driveway.
