A great place to get away (but have everything you need!)

This property was great for our crew of 6 adults, a toddler, and a baby, but would also be fantastic for larger groups! No matter the size of your group, there is plenty to spread out and not feel like you're all on top of each other! Everything you could need is there, which makes for a laid back trip!

Such a great place!

I promise you no one had regrets staying here. Very beautiful open layout, so much room for a huge family to come stay. Fishing, campfire and lots of room to play outside activities. The property owner was very easy to communicate with especially at check out. We loved this place.

A beautiful hideaway in mid-Missouri

Tucked away among the gently rolling hills of north-central Missouri, this beautiful property was perfect for our family get together. With tons of space, beautifully furnished interior, and lovingly stocked with every convenience, we wanted for nothing. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer!

Graduation stay

Perfect setting

Everything about this property was as described. Very clean, a ton of space, surprising amount of amenities available - pretty much every kitchen item you could need. The property is in a very secluded area which was exceptionally peaceful. We were there for a 25th reunion for a group of high school friends, this property would be great for a large coordination of friends and family.

Trip to see Family

Our stay was fabulous at this property. The host was always quick to respond, kind, and courteous. Our 2 labs were welcomed at the property also which is a necessity for us as they travel everywhere with us. Home was well stocked with everything we needed. Would defintely stay here again! Thank you so much!!

Great family time!

My sister’s family and mine get together for Christmas every year. So finding a place that can accommodate us can be challenging. This place was perfect! The kitchen was stocked with ANYTHING we could have ever needed! We had plenty of room to spread out and play games or whatever we wanted! We enjoyed the ping pong/pool table, the kids enjoyed the PlayStation, and the guys enjoyed the garage area! There was a supply of children’s toys that was awesome! The only thing I can say negatively about the space was that the bedrooms were really small so if you have pac-n/plays to set up, you might need to do some rearranging. We would come back here again!

Wonderful weekend with family and friends. Wonderful time had by all.

It was a wonderful, out of the way, place with a great atmosphere. The facility was very clean and well decorated with plenty of room for all the guest with a wonderful kitchen to work in. Beds were very comfortable and rooms were very well stocked with pillows and blankets. We had a wonderful time and will be using the facility again. Thank you Nancy for your hospitality you thought of every thing.

Great for a Family Reunion

This property was exactly what we needed for our annual family reunion. With six bedrooms (all virtually identical, so no fighting over who got which) and two full bathrooms, we had plenty of space. And the fully furnished kitchen was great. Our hostess even let us eat any food that was there (including a bottle of wine). The youngsters had fun playing in the sandbox outside and the loft inside. And the walkers in the group made the rounds of the onsite pond, as well as a nearby rock road.

Our Best Experience Yet!!

We had the most amazing weekend getaway with everything we could have asked for and more! Nancy was the most wonderful host and provided us a beautiful home and property filled with everything you could want or need for creating both indoor and outdoor memories! We caught over 30 fish and played so many fun games!! We have stayed at a handful of Vrbo properties but this was hands down our best trip and experience so far!
