About this property

Ellen's Log Cabin with Hot Tub ~ Located Minutes From The Upper Meramec River

Ellen's log cabin is 2 and a half story's. It starts with a large covered porch that looks over the valley, a great place for your morning coffee. Walk into the living room with a cathedral ceiling and stairs that lead to the loft. The loft is where the master bedroom is located with an en suite bathroom. Back to the first floor is a full kitchen with a large walk out deck that is actually in the trees. This deck has a large table for outdoor eating and charcoal BBQ grill for grilling. Remember to bring charcoal and lighter fluid. The lower floor has 2 bedrooms, family room (which doubles as another private bedroom) and full bathroom. From the family room you walk out to a private lower deck with a hot tub and seating. A fire pit is in the back yard surrounded by woods, very private. Do not worry about where to buy the wood for your fire, we provide it with your cabin.
We rent Ellen's by the bedrooms needed. The more guest, the more bedrooms set up with linens and towels. You do not share the cabin with strangers. The rate you see here is one of our seasonal rates for a couple. Additional guest is $25. per guest per night. We offer the couple rate so, a couple can come and stay without paying for all the bedrooms.

Great Cabin and amenities
Cindy was so easy to work with! She allowed me to check in early and showed compassion for my problem at the cabin. The hot tub is amazing! And my favorite spot was the front porch. Listening to the koi pond and watching the butterflies! I recommend this place!

Cabin
Nice, clean cabin. Our reason for booking the cabin was for the hot tub. We booked 2 nights. The hot tub was unusable the first night due to the host adding water right as we were checking in. It took all that day and all night to get the hot tub heated up to a normal temperature. So beware. You may or may not get to use the hot tub. It should have been checked prior to our day of arrival. Also beware that there are 2 very steep flights of stairs. One steep stairs going up to the loft bedroom. One very steep set of stairs going down to the hot tub. We were pretty disappointed in our stay.

Girls weekend
Beautiful cabin in the woods! The setting is gorgeous and close to hiking a great hiking trail. The kitchen was stocked with sufficient cookware, utensils, dishes (although we couldn't find measuring cups). The hot tub was heavenly and we were blessed one night with spectacular views of and the Milky Way!

Relaxation
We loved our stay at Ellen’s cabin, we went for hiking and relaxing and that is just what we got. There are multiple hiking trails within 30 miles and the cabin was so peaceful. The backyard where the hot tub and fire pit are were surrounded by trees which made it very private.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is between St James and Steelville. Just down the road is a river crossing you can swim or float at. The property is nice and private. Listing is how it is described. Check in and check out are very easy.

Comfortable and Cozy Cabin
This is the second time we've stayed at this cabin. We will continue to stay here as long as it's available! It's so comfortable and cozy. Easy to find, amenities are great. We've rented this cabin for float trips during the summer, but we may even rent this cabin during winter months. Highly recommend!

Great Home Would Stay Again
Beautiful home- would definitely stay again. The only thing keeping it from perfection was the heavy dust on the ceiling fans and rafters- normally you would not notice but the overlook from the upstairs to the living room has you looking right at it- this has to be the only oversight because everything else was fantastic- The jacuzzi was relaxing and enjoyable- we slept great. Thank you for a nearly perfect stay.
