Very peaceful and quiet. The host was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. I really enjoyed the stay. A lot of springs near by to swim in. Will be staying there again.
Perfect little cabin in the woods. Stacey was awesome. He gave us several great sight-seeing spots. If you are wanting a 5 star Hilton, keep looking but if you are wanting a quiet, cozy, and clean little cabin in the backwoods, THIS IS THE SPOT!!

Extremely pet friendly & the cabin was warm and cozy even on cold nights. Be prepared for a short walk to the shared restroom to use the toilet and shower.
Awesome place. My wife and two young daughters loved it. Exactly what we were planning for. Private and quiet. Stacey was a great host from start to finish. Stores are down the road and 15 minutes from Blue springs. Cant recommend enough. Better than camping.
Fantastic stay and amazing property owner. They were accommodating and helpful. Very glad I choose to stay here. I needed it to complete a job for a client and wasn’t expecting such a cool place to unwind after a hard days work.
Two big thumbs up!
We really enjoyed the property. It was a bit rustic but that's what we liked about it. Our 2 dogs had a great time as well. It was clean and cozy. Lighting up the fire pit, roasting s'mores, playing corn hole with the kids and grandkids. Over all we had a blast.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Friendly’s Cabin and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing and peaceful getaway. The location is ideal for nature lovers, and the hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. Air conditioning was great, and our cat even enjoyed the cabin!Despite our last-minute booking, everything was clean, well-prepared, and ready upon arrival. We especially enjoyed using the grill throughout our stay, and Stacy did an excellent job maintaining both the grounds and the bathhouse. Communication was always prompt, courteous, and helpful whenever we had questions.We look forward to staying here again on our next visit to the area.
Everything was what I expected. I love the isolation & the calm of the environment. I was upgraded from the cabin to the Tiny House & was still given a tour of the property because I will be booking again & was shown all of my options. Bruno (dog) was very welcoming & friendly as well. I didn’t catch the cats name but he/she sat on my porch with me. I loved it.
We loved the cabin and it was a perfect camping experience with the luxury of air conditioning. Our host provided and anticipated everything that a happy camper could need. The fridge with small freezer inside the cabin was a pleasant suprise. It was nice for freezing ice packs for our next day's outings and cut down on the amount of ice. The site location was centrally located and in short driving distance to our planned outings including the Peacock Springs. The local dollar general was about 15 minutes away and had everything we needed. It was a rural camping setting and quiet, allowing us to spend quality time with local family. We look forward to our next stay.
Stacey the host was very attentive and friendly! The property is quite secluded so be prepared to have food and lots of bottled water etc. Not much around to do so very low key and quiet. The toilet and shower were a distance that I was not comfortable with walking to during the night. I was a solo traveler so if you have others with you I would think it would be fine. Otherwise comfortable little cabin for get away.
