About this property

Quiet Shell River Cabin with Sauna

  • Our Cozy little cabin is the perfect getaway for all seasons. The sauna is an extra treat. The property is close to the tiny town of Osage and the Smokey Hills State Forest. The Shell River runs through the property providing the perfect relaxing background at the campfire.

Relaxing!

This was such a great place to truly kick back and relax! It was comfortable having all you needed to enjoy a "home away from home." The sauna was a bonus to help a person unwind. There was a great selection of movies with a kitchen, which had everything to prep a fantastic meal. It was simply a fun place to stay. Would love to come back again!

Quiet Retreat

As advertised, the cabin is quiet, with lots of trees around. It is well-appointed and has everything needed for our stay, with the interior being nicely designed. As a bonus, there is a sauna, and although it was warm out during our stay, it was nice to use at the end of the day.

Perfect Honeymoon Getaway!

We had such a relaxing cozy stay at this little cabin oasis! My husband and I retreated here after a crazy wedding weekend and we had everything we needed for a private and calm honeymoon. This location is a nice distance from city/town life but also close enough to venture out and explore some cool sites and excursiones. Would recommend to anyone looking for a go with your own flow nature retreat
