Despite the constant, drenching rain, I enjoyed my quiet solitude retreat. The picture made me think it was more isolated than it is (there are other cabins and the trail-riding stables right across the road), but given the weather and time of year, I pretty much had the place to myself. The cabin itself is tiny, but very clean and well supplied. The hosts are very friendly and responsive and I would highly recommend if you’re in the area. The dirt road in May be a little intimidating for a small car, but was no problem for my Outback, despite the rainy conditions and minor rain runoff damage.
We stayed at the bunk house it was very clean had everything we needed for our two night stay we floated the jacks fork river was nice coming off the river to relax will definitely go back
It was perfectly situated for everything that we wanted to do on our short vacation.

I look for peaceful beautiful places to stay in the Ozarks and that is exactly what this was. Wonderful hospitality and everything you’d need for a little trip away from it all.
Beautiful piece of property to get away from everything! The bunkhouse was nice and cozy. Lisa was amazing. Showed great hospitality and put us right on a herd of wild horses. Also made some great suggestions for things to see. We had a great 2 night stay
What a great getaway we had. Lisa was so amazing and helped us settle in and find our way around. The cabin was perfect for my husband and I.
We are looking forward to going back next year!
The location was isolated from crowds with peaceful evenings. The cabin was perfect for my stay with a full kitchen, television, temperature controlled environment, washer and dryer, and full bath.
Property was the cleanest the interior design and decor were the best I have ever stayed at in the Eminence area. Scott and Lisa were great hosts and the additional amenity's of the new Whisky River Bar along with food from Shortys Rolling Grill not to mention horseback riding and horse stalls for your own really make this a one stop destination. We will back.
This was a mom and son trip. My friend and I took our two teenage boys…. To say that it was such an enjoyable experience would be a complete understatement…. This is a slice of heaven on earth!
We enjoyed our adventure in the Missouri Ozarks so much! So many waterways to see and saw the Wild Horses twice and I got to check that off my bucket list! The property was clean and comfortable and the hosts showed their hospitality, they are very friendly and accommodating! We hope to come back with our horses sometime in Fall. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!

We had a great trip. The cabin was very clean and they supplied anything you needed. Lisa and Scott are a wonderful couple. Highly recommended and plan on using, again in the future.
Thanks, Peggy
Our overall immediate impression was how clean and well organized everything was in such a tiny spot. We stayed at the Bunk House. It had a large back deck. When sitting there we could see the horses and spent much time just watching them graze. So quiet and serene! It is definitely for people who want to escape to the country life! You are not totally out in the woods, though, because Eminence is not too far away.
We will definitely be back! We will probably try one of the other cabins as we had just a little bit of trouble because, as seniors, we had a little trouble getting in and out of the bunk bed.
All in all, it is a wonderful place and we have nothing but appreciation for Lisa and Scott and their hospitality! Thank you so much, we’ll be back!
My brother, my son and I stayed in the cabin for two nights. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. We normally tent camp when we come to the area but it was going to be 17 degrees at night. The cabin was very clean (the sheets and towels smelled fresh). The kitchen had everything we needed and the property owner even provided us a few snacks. We had a campfire at night and there was firewood provided as well. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone for a little getaway.
The cabin and environment were exactly as described. Clean and very comfortable. The owners live a few hundred yards away and stopped by to make sure all was OK. We had a very relaxing few days hiking around the Eminence area.
It was a cute little cabin with everything you needed and a nice remote private location. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the property owners were very kind and easy to get ahold of if needed!.
