About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded Gate House

This 3-bedroom, 2 bath home is wonderful for families. You get a King bed with desk in one bedroom, Queen bed and on suite bathroom in another and 2 twin beds in the last. The full kitchen is perfect for all your cooking needs. Full living room with full size couch, loveseat, chair and 55 in smart TV. Sit out on the screened in back porch and watch the wildlife or have your morning coffee. This home sits on 38 gated acres just a mile outside of Arcadia with 6 other rentable cabins but this home is the only one that sits off by its own. So, you have plenty of room for yard games, catching fireflies or grilling on the charcoal grill. This property sits adjacent to our 700-acre farm where we have a stocked pond for your fishing enjoyment and 6 miles worth of hiking trails through our beautiful woods.

We are pet friendly property. Due to some guest having allergies to cats. Cats are not allowed.

Lovely Family Getaway

The gatehouse was amazing. We loved the hiking trails, the grounds, and the location. Campfires were super easy by the lounge. We loved being super close to so much great hiking! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful location and property

Very peaceful property with lots of pleasant surprises - walking trails, horseshoe pits, basketball court. Our family really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning someday. Had a few questions upon check in and host was very responsive and answered within minutes. Overall pleasant experience.

Nice place to get away from it all. The grounds are very walkable, with hiking trails right there on the property. We enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch and also BBQing. We spent time at Johnston Shutins state park and Elephant rocks SP, both within 30 minutes of rental. Very clean and well cared for property.

Need to get away?

If you enjoy your privacy like we do, this modest property was perfect for a holiday weekend. We wanted a quiet place to chill--this place certainly got us away from it all. The interesting setting made for some curious exploration, investigation, and fun sleuthing some history of the place.

Spacious, comfortable cabin in a beautiful setting

Three couples shared this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin for a long weekend getaway. Everything was wonderful-- from the well-stocked kitchen to the screened-in porch to the living room with plenty of seating and a large TV. We enjoyed hiking on the trails on the property. The cabin was clean and had everything that we needed. Communication with Linda was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay-- thank you!

Beautiful Property

The house fit our family well and was located close to town which was convenient. The host was very responsive and nice. We absolutely loved the farm and the use of the trails and lake. Beds were comfortable. We only stayed a few days so not having a washer and dryer wasn’t a deal breaker but for a longer stay we probably would have looked for a place with that amenity available as kids get clothes dirty and being able to wash them would be a nice. We’d definitely stay here again.

Hidden Gem

This property is perfect for anyone that desires a secluded getaway. The grounds are vast with amazing views and trails for the nature lover. The owner, Linda, is wonderful and responds quickly to texts. The dining table had a tray of snacks and candy that was enjoyed after long hikes. Also had K-cups for that much needed quick cup of Joe. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with my beloved golden doodle, he also gives The Loft of Arcadia 5 woofs!!!

Great place to stay near Fort Davidson

We brought the family down for the Battle of Pilot Knob weekend, and this was the perfect place for our stay. It was just a few miles from Fort Davidson, easy to find, quiet, and clean. We loved the screened in porch and all the open space surrounding the house. The beds were comfortable, and the wifi good enough to stream Netflix on the large TV. The bathrooms were small but just fine for a weekend getaway.

Fall family getaway

The house was well suited to our needs and nicely situated to area attractions. We stayed for two nights with our four adult children (in Missouri from out of state) to explore the area—Elephant Rocks, Taum Sauk, the Pilot Knob battlefield and visitor center. House was clean, spacious, comfortable, very quiet and peaceful. Clear, prompt communication with the host and clear directions about finding and accessing the property. We enjoyed playing board games, grilling, talking, and the area sights but ran out of time for the fire pit and walking trails on the property. Next time…

Perfect!

This beautiful home was the perfect spot to meet up with my brother & sister-in-law. It is in a quiet, country setting, but still quite close to town. It is immaculate and well-appointed. We especially enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch in the evening. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Very nice, tucked away, getaway. Interesting trails. Very peaceful.

Not handicap accessible. The bathrooms were a little challenging for one of our wheelchair-bound family members, also the thick carpeting was hard to navigate in wheelchair. Property was very clean and well maintained. Overall, great stay for 3/4 of our travelers. The screened-in porch was our favorite part. Also appreciated the snacks and coffee which held us over until we could get to the store. Great place to stay for people looking for peace and quiet and who might enjoy some nice trail walks.... lots of places to explore.

Slice of heaven

We were looking last minute for a place to stay near Piedmont, MO to visit my mom for the Holiday. We were lucky to find this place. The wide open spaces and privacy were delightful. The house was very clean and well stocked. The area is also lovely. We visited Elephant Rocks State Park, Clearwater Lake, and Big Springs (worth the drive). We ate at the Iron Mule (twice)! The food was delicious. The property is well maintained and has hiking trails and fire pits. We cannot wait to come stay again.
