My sisters and I took our mother on a trip to the Rolla and Fort Leonard Wood area where she lived long ago. The cabin was about a 40 minute drive from these locations. What a fabulous spot! Gorgeous view of the Gasconade River and bluffs off of the deck! Heather shared some interesting historical details about the property which we talked about all weekend. Clean, inviting and plenty of room for our group. Loved the cabin! ##### Anne S.

We watched the morning sun burn away the fog in the river valley below, and the large birds below gliding on the updrafts. We walked the short path to the bench on the natural point below and marveled at the pastoral beauty of the pastures of green below, spotted with contented cattle. We drove a couple miles to the Clifty Creek trail and explored the natural bridge. In the evening we gathered around the campfire, if full view of the scene below, and reflected on the day. The house was clean and well stocked, and Tom and Kathy were excellent hosts. We will be back. ##### Stanley U.

Secluded and very peaceful. Despite the summer heat, the AC works great even though we spent the majority of the weekend outside enjoying the property and time on the river.Kathy was a great help directing us to the property and was available if we needed any help, but thankfully the house is so well equipped that we really didn't need any.

Quiet, secluded spot in the hills above a river valley. I couldn't get enough of soaking in that view and listening to the silence. It was a great get-away for our teens, who loved hiking the trails and exploring. We did have to do some shopping to get essentials like napkins and dish detergent, and the cabin was not as thoroughly clean as other places we've stayed at. But we greatly enjoyed our time there, and overall, would recommend it. ##### Suzanne R.

It is nothing fancy and frilly just a quiet secluded low key cabin. The cabin is older but the location and host make this place what it is. The view is amazing and the host are super sweet, helpful and friendly. The house is well stocked to meet all your needs. We loved the fire pit and supplied firewood to enjoy our evenings. Due to the secluded location groceries/gas station are a 20+ minute drive but we enjoyed this because we took the back roads to enjoy the beauty of the place. Another couple joined us for a float on the Big Piney and Gasconade Rivers and stayed one night with us. There was plenty of space in the cabin for all of us. The history of the cabin and property was fun to hear about from the owner and made our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to go back someday! ##### Lisa T.
