About this property

Make your reservation fast as inquiries are coming in daily.

A true American wilderness experience with total solitude. The Cabin at Black River View sits on 100 acres and has the best view in Southeast Missouri in the heart of the Ozark Mountains. Overlooking the Black River and in site of the highest elevation point in Missouri, you will have no neighbors with total seclusion and quiet except for hearing the gentle rapids below. Newly built in 2016 this state of the art cabin has everything you need to entertain your family and friends. Located on a bluff near the Mark Twain National forest it has access to thousand of acres of hiking, hunting horseback riding, mountain biking, 4-wheeling and ATV trails, but the main attraction is the Black River. Crystal clear water fed from springs with a rock bottom that you can see 12 feet to the bottom, the Black River is a gentle river making canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and paddle boarding all an enjoyable experience. Local attractions include the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Johnson Shut Inns, Clearwater Lake, Elephant Rock State Park, and Sam A. Baker state park. Just two and half hours from St. Louis.

Ozark Mt Getaway

We’ve stayed in this area and Current River before and if you want seclusion this is your spot. All the luxuries of home but in the middle of nowhere. Side by side or four wheeler is almost a requirement. Average truck would not make it all the way to the river. Great hosts and property manager. Cabin view is second to none.

Secluded off road and river vacation

Had a great time at the cabin. This will be our 4th stay and we will definitely be back. AC and ice machine worked great. Rode ATV's all over, floated the beautiful Black River and enjoyed the view. Best rental property in southeast Missouri imo.

Amazing seclusion

Off the grid feel with all of the amenities of home! Really cool property, had fun shooting and hiking and teaching the grandparents how to "offroad" down to the river!!! Enjoyed by the entire family. Its about 50mins to Johnsons shut ins but still a very doable day hike trip. Would lovw to return!!

New Definition of "Getting Away"

Lovely facility which my 7 year old niece described as being in the middle of nowhere. Was perfect for the six adults and three children who gathered there to see the total solar eclipse--which we did get to see. Situated so that we didn't see the on site owners or their guests. On arrival it was clear the place had not been vacuumed for a while (lots of dead lady bugs) and a couple other minor maintenance things, which I shared with the property manager. Fantastic setting, lovely place.

Beautiful place just like the photos

We had the most amazing time! The view was absolutely breathtaking and pictures DO NOT do it justice. The house had everything we needed (and more). It was beautiful inside and out. We own an ATV but would highly recommended renting or bringing one to get to the river. When you get there it’s clear water and my family had a blast. Thanks again for making this a memorable stay!

Breathtaking View

The cabin was very comfortable and well-stocked. The view was absolutely beautiful. This cabin is very remote, more so even than expected. Deb was helpful, we followed her directions carefully and got there just fine. The gps coordinates helped also. We enjoyed puzzles and games and were comfortable in the cabin, even with a large group. One down side is that there is really no easy way to the river. We tried one of the paths in a 4wd truck and it was so washed out that we barely got turned around before getting stuck in deep ruts. After that experience, we opted out of attempting other paths and just went to the public access, which was enjoyable anyway. I would strongly recommend atvs or going to the public access points, unless this road to the river gets repaired. All in all it was a very enjoyable weekend with nice accommodations, and a beautiful view. Thanks for sharing the cabin with us!

Amazing Family Getaway

We had 9 adult family members together for a weekend of floating the Black River — this house was the perfect home base! We loved the beautiful river views and the house was nice with all the accommodations needed. We went down to the river per the instructions from the house the first evening and agree that you need 4-wheel drive. We even parked our SUV on the creek bed and walked the approx. .25 mile to the river. We used two different river outfitters — Jeff’s Canoe from Annapolis, it was a great float with beautiful bluffs, very convenient from the house. The next day, we went to Franklin’s out of Lesterville — a further drive and it was much busier on that part of the river, busier spot and it was a Saturday. We still enjoyed the river and had time to check our Johnson Shut-ins and Elephant Rock State Park — both worth a visit if you’re in the area! We made all our meals at the house - grilled and made use of the big kitchen. It’s the perfect spot for a big family gathering!

Perfect cabin to unplug & recharge at.

It took us 3hrs to find our cabin. We expected the long travel from TX to Missouri but we didn't anticipate it taking us 3hrs to locate the cabin after arriving. My husband, son and I all reached out to Jeff, the property manager, for help with no response. Finally when he did answer he hung up on us with never reaching back out to us or answering our calls. We did finally find the cabin with the help of our son's navigation skills. Once arriving we are hit with another problem, no working air conditioner or ice machine... Luckily for us the owner, Tim, was there and worked his tail off to get it fixed. Our 1st night was pretty warm with only using fans, Tim supplied for us. We also had a bag of ice in the freezer since no ice machine. Tim was fantastic and we greatly appreciated the lengths he went to to make our stay enjoyable after learning all we had been through. The AC was back up and running at full capacity on Tuesday. With all this we still had an incredible time! Making memories with our grandson and enjoying family time. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return ourselves one day. THANK YOU, TIM! The Hale family.

Phenomenal view, great cabin and location

The view alone was worth the booking, we spent mornings with coffee and sunsets just watching clouds roll through the valley because it was beautiful. The cabin itself is very nicely appointed, the photos don't do it justice! Major plus that there's a dedicated icemaker. Access to the river does require a 4wd vehicle to make it easy and quick, at which point the cabin location is really excellent. Walking is possible but the steep grade makes it a chore if that's your only means to get to the river. Excellent instructions for the cabin, lists of things to do and communication from the owner.

Great Place with a Stunning View

We took a float trip to the Black River and stayed here for an extended weekend. It was perfect. The view was absolutely amazing. The pictures can't even do it justice. The cabin was clean, stocked, and well maintained. Even though we spent most of our time outdoors, it was a nice escape from the heat. The canopy and chairs provided were a nice touch. While the cabin is great, it's the location and atmosphere that set this place apart. The cabin is totally secluded with easy access to the river via hike, ATV, or truck (4WD is a must to get to the river). I hiked the trail up and down 3 times and, while it has some steep terrain, if you take your time it's not too bad. All in all, there is nothing I would change about the cabin. We've been taking a yearly float trip for the past 8 years, and this was far and away the best cabin experience. We were all hopeful to visit again.
