Mom tribe weekend
This place was perfect for all of our needs- the beds were comfy, the kitchen is very well stocked, plenty of towels, toilet paper and bedding. Kitchen has a few coffee pots, blender, crock pot, etc. There were also fans and heaters in each closets if needed. The AC works great, very spacious and great for groups. We had 9. The kitchen was great since we had a LOT of food. The extra fridge on the porch was perfect also for extras. The walk to the river is just a few minutes walk and the beach/river area gave us the fun we needed and our own space. Definitely going back!

Friends and Families Weekend Getaway
Had a few families with their kids stay here and it was perfect for weekend stay. Took the kids to the river on the first day to play and worked with a local company to go on a float trip the next day. Jan did a great job communicating with us from the time we booked to the end of the trip.

It was plenty of room for 4 adults and our dogs. Was a little disappointed when it flooded from the rain one night but the property maintenance took care of the water right away.

This is the 2nd time we stayed here, it has worked great as a location for our family to get together. This location has a great gravel river area to sit by the river, play in it and fish.

This is a beautiful home with a very calming feel from the moment you walk in. The view from the back deck is amazing and the private access to the river was perfect for relaxing with the family.

It was great.
We all enjoyed a lot staying at Heron’s Landing. But we felt a little sad that we didn’t stay 2 nights. I will recommend this place to anyone who like to come, take a little jungle tour to river, have a bbq night, play cards/ monopoly and have a relax time with your favorites. Host was amazing and thanks again. We will come again.

Family fall weekend
Great combo cabins for an extended family gathering. Our favorites were the decks that faced the wooded areas; fire rings; adequate kitchen facilities for multiple cooks; hiking trails to the river; awesome area floating opportunities; Onondaga Cave and quiet setting excluding our family group as we enjoyed the fire rings, games, refreshments and conversations until past midnight. Would recommend Driftwood River Cabins to friends. Would suggest improved maintenance both inside and outside for preservation of rentals. In addition an inspection by the owners for adequate cleanup both inside and out before the arrival of new quests.

Great location and house had lots of room
We have been floating Meramec River a couple years staying at various places. We loved Driftwood because of river access. We could set up chairs and canopy at the river and stay for hours. Bedrooms and bathrooms were good size. Charcoal grill was in great shape, many comfortable places to sit outside around house.

Plenty of room to spread out. Loved the outdoor spaces, we were blessed with awesome weather for August. We ate out on the decks and had a fire in the pit one night. Location is close to river and lots of floating options.
