brief winter getaway

Booked property hoping for normal mild January, unfortunately was significantly colder and limited to indoor usage. House was perfect and bigger than pictured, porch is 3 season and outdoor stove was unable to use but didn't need and actually protected the house to keep it warmer . saw 14 bald eagles and 4 coyotes across the slough on the island. Will book during warmer weather to utilize the outdoor areas. Last mile is gravel farm roads but still 17 minutes to the interstate.

Property was just as pictured! Our family had a great time relaxing and fishing. Not far from St. Louis so we were able to explore while also having the most relaxing and serene cabin to return to.

Quiet, secluded cabin

Cabin location was ideal. Plenty of space for all guests. Cabin needs some deep cleaning and updates (upstairs tub does not work). Overall it was a nice getaway!

Incredible Cabin on the Mississippi River

This is a hidden gem. Well off the beaten path, down a gravel road, beautiful and peaceful. The cabin is eclectic and cozy - with modern amenities (air-conditioning, and wi-fi). It is right on the Mississippi with incredible views. We saw abundant wild-life. It was just me and my Mom, but a family would have a great time! Definitely will visit again!

Comfortable rustic cabin by the river

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin, and it met all of our needs as we were staying in the area a few days leading up to our son’s wedding. We used the outdoor grill and the kitchen - we found everything to be in working order, I was even pleasantly surprised to find a ninja blender which came in handy. There was plenty of space allowing the groomsmen to get ready and take some outdoor photos on the porch & back patio by the river. Celia was very quick to respond to messages. Would recommend for anyone who doesn’t mind staying in a location that’s off the beaten path.

Another great weekend

We had our annual girls weekend at this beautiful River cabin. Very comfortable and the location is perfect! We saw deer swimming across the river in the morning and an eagle circling the sky. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets! The owner is very gracious and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Celia Homsher

Host profile image
We bought this wonderful log home as our family get-away, close to home, about 15 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.

Why they chose this property

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.
