We really liked the back porch and fire pit set up. The location is set back in the woods which provided the privacy and quiet that we wanted. The beds were comfortable and the size of the bathroom was appreciated! The hosts were responsive and nice. We had some furry visitors at times in the form of dogs and a kitten. They were so sweet and polite beggars too. My dad fell in love with the kitten. Our only big complaint was the lack of privacy inside the house with the odd, sliding barn style doors. You could see through cracks in the doors at night and into the bathroom from the kitchen, even with the bathroom door "closed". We would stay here again, but probably not with another couple soley due to the lack of privacy inside. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/182e57c7-7c1d-4048-91aa-839d8de1f3cc-1757292918772.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alisha R.

While off the beaten path, close enough to town, hiking, kayaking, floating, horseback riding, and so much more. This place was fantastic. Clean, had all the amenities you would need, fire pit and patio. It is very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the horses near by too. Definitely recommend and we will be back. The hosts were awesome and their story is pretty neat how they developed the ranch area to be shared with other. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us. ##### Chastity A.

The cabin is off the beaten path which is super nice! And close enough to everything and everywhere we wanted to go. We don' t own horses but if you do, there are stalls right at the cabin. Peaceful and quiet. And spotty internet, which is helpful when one is escaping from work ( a perfect excuse to unplug!) Enjoyed this section in God's country! ##### Liz D.

Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful July 4th weekend We spent 2 nights at the ranch house and it was perfect for our family of 3 and 2 dogs. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. They just opened an outpost for trail riders with a bar and nice outdoor area. The house contained all the essentials and was very comfortable. We did a float on Saturday and then an early trail ride with the owner Sunday before we left. My daughter loves horses so she was excited to see all the trail riders and their horses that stoped at the outpost! The location is still very quiet and the view of the stars at night was spectacular. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Laurel S.

Enjoyed walks with our dog down the quiet country road to the pretty creek. Very safe being off leash. Enjoyed kayaking with Windy outfitters just a few miles away. The town is also a few miles away with gas, groceries, eating places. Everyone is so friendly in Missouri! (We are from Illinois). Recommend the Pie Barn in town too. If you enjoy cooking you might bring some sharp knives, maybe a big pot and some dish towels. The hosts provide only one dish cloth and one dish towel but were accommodating and sent extra towels the next day. Our dog enjoyed himself playing with the hosts’ dogs and meeting horses for the first time. If interested guided trail rides can be booked separately. Would enjoy coming again. ##### Karen (Casey) S.

Old Desperado is our favorite destination in Missouri. Lisa and Scott are wonderful hosts and make certain that our stay is perfect! The cabins are comfortable, clean and well decorated. The beds are great and kitchen is well equipped. Laundry in the cabin so handy. The covered stalls for horses are spacious and well maintained. Water is close and stalls are lighted and secure. Fire pit in the back of the cabin is wonderful and wood is provided. We sat around the fire every night, enjoying the peace and quiet. The riding is amazing and we always ask Lisa to guide us on our trip. She has an unparalleled knowledge of the Mark Twain National Forest and shares interesting facts along the way. We used one of her trail horses this trip and Savannah was a perfect mount. If you are looking for a peaceful Ozark mountain getaway, this is it! ##### Sharon S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa B. Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed our \*rustic\* stay Lots of great features and some could use improvement on. Pros: keyless entry, great private backyard space, concrete slab, fire pit with chairs, charcoal grill, picnic table, large bathroom with separate toilet & laundry, kitchen was mostly stocked, beds comfortable & 2 mini split AC units, internet worked. Friendly hosts. Cons: that picnic table was filthy, sticky & still had \[dessert\] sprinkles on it from previous guests, flies were horrible as you are next to the horse stables so sitting out there wasn’t enjoyable, we had 2 spoons for the 4 of us and a few forks (plenty of other utensils). The sliding barn door for the bathroom isn’t on a track & there’s quite the gap, not very private. No privacy shades on the east windows/entry door which faces the campground. The drive to the cabin is a rough, long dirt road, just be prepared for that. Don’t get me started on the early morning dog howling & constant barking from the puppy mill up the road. Obviously not the owners fault but you should be aware. Finally, their cleanup expectations were a bit much for the amount of money we paid (200/night). We had to strip all the bed linens including the mattress pads & pile everything on the couch, mop & vacuum the cabin (what on earth?!?), clean the oven & glass top cooker and empty all the trash. Some of these expectations are normal but vacuum & mop?Overall, We were close to the current river, had a great outdoor space, pretty well stocked, friendly hosts & felt safe. ##### Melissa B.
