About this property

Spacious four bedroom country private home, large kitchen, wi-fi. Nature awaits.

Private rural location bordering the Shawnee National Forest. This home sits on 30 acres. Approximately twelve miles south of the closest town and about eight miles from Garden of the Gods and other hiking recreational sites. The home is roomy and cozy. It is large enough for a couple of families or just to let your own family members have their own space. It is a great place to relax, grill out, or just do some porch sitting. Or if you want to take in some sights, you aren’t far from Garden of the Gods, Bell Smith Springs, Burden Falls, Rim Rock or Pounds Hollow. This area is also very horse friendly and this home is not far from several trails and horse campgrounds such as Double M, High Knob, Little Lusk, and Bear Branch Campgrounds. It is also about two miles from Williams Hill Pass that supports four wheeling and dirt biking trails and about four miles from the River to River Trail. So if you want to do a lot of nothing or lots of everything, it is a great location. You most likely will see some wildlife daily whether it is deer, birds, foxes, turkeys, etc in the spacious yard or fields. The home has everything you should need for your stay and is very clean and neat and private. It boasts a full kitchen that is fully stocked. The large front and back yard allows plenty of room for you or your kiddos to walk or run. The back of the property meets a running creek in the woods. Very nice home in the country. You won’t be disappointed

Girls weekend

This is an amazing property. We enjoyed our weekend away at this beautiful house. It had everything we needed. We were even lucky to watch the deer come out in the field around the same time each night. We would highly recommend this property.
