What a wonderful stay! We loved how easy it was to access the river and the scenery is amazing! We loved just walking around the area and creek beds. It was so clean and comfortable!
Our time at the Turkey Ridge Cottage was absolutely wonderful, and provided us with all of the peace and quiet we were searching for. We really didn't need to bring much as it was stocked so well! Tom and Kathy were so friendly! We were able to walk around the area, cook our foil packs in the firepit, and watch the sunset. We enjoyed the historical books about Turkey Ridge, and the book which Tom wrote. We could not have found a more tranquil and beautiful place to stay! Thank you Tom and Kathy!
We stayed at the Turkey Ridge cottage and had a beautiful Gasconade kayak trip. The property was secluded and peaceful. The hosts took great care of us and we will be returning. Thank you again!
Peace and quiet and cozy cottage! We enjoyed playing in the river and used the canoes one day. Lots of time spent by the fire pit and hammock. Owners were very responsive and helpful.
Fantastic cabin. Great view of river. Inside of cabin is like stepping back in time to the 1930/1940's. Absolutely beautiful. Peaceful and quiet. Surrounded by forest and a gravel road to the cabin. A percect weekend getaway!
Such a cute little cabin! The wood burning stove was fantastic, kept the entire place nice and cozy. The sunset is breathtaking and impossible to capture its beauty with a camera shot. We hope to be back someday.
We had a lovely stay. The cabin was clean, quiet and fun to stay in. We loved the secluded location and enjoyed the hike and the river. The canoe leaked water but not bad enough to be an issue. We did have a pretty difficult time hauling the canoe out of the water. If I had been with anyone less physically capable I don’t think we could’ve gotten it out. Overall we loved the place and would stay again.
I can't wait to return. The view was amazing and instantly drained all the stress out of my body. I spent hours sitting outside, and a couple dogs came to visit and played with my dog Tasha. They were very well behaved and sweet. Inside was spotless and very comfortable as i fell asleep on the couch the first night even though there were 3 very nice beds available. I wish i could give this property 10 stars.
A beautiful place to get away with the family! The river was lovely after a little bit of a struggle to get out of the slough with all of us on the canoe because the water was low from a dry summer. Would recommend 10/10 as a nice quite/private getaway.
We had a great time! The cabin is located in a beautiful, unspoiled area of the Ozarks. The views over the Gasconade River and its’ bottoms are spectacular. Thank you!
We had a great time at the cabin and exploring the beautiful scenery. Tom and Kathy were so great and let us reschedule when a covid conflict came up. 10/10 highly recommend!
Perfect little place large enough for 3 couples. We enjoyed the view! The large picnic table was great for having dinner outside. Make sure to have your supplies with you when checking in - its almost 20 minutes to town and the cabin is too nice to leave once youve arrived!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Turkey Ridge Cottage. The cottage was cozy and exuded rustic charm. It is the perfect place for those looking to enjoy tranquility in nature's presence and "recharge the batteries". Kathy and Heather are wonderful hosts who look to make your stay a great experience. Clifty Creek Nature Area provides wonderful hiking.
