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.

Great getaway in the woods!

We absolutely loved our stay! Both Tom and Cathy were delightful hosts and their property was a perfect place to retreat to. While you are secluded, since you are on their large property - there was a sense of safety with others fairly close. We appreciated the information provided on directions, hikes, and more. We loved having the indoor wood stove and outdoor fire pit. Although the indoor one was very Smokey. We would definitely come back to Rock Eddie Bluff Farm!

Escape with a view

Fantastic spot to get away in the woods and enjoy the quiet. I prefer a no-contact check-in process. But the host was very nice and informative. Once she showed us the cabin and gave us some information, we were left alone to enjoy our privacy. Great experience!

Thanks but no thanks

We planned a quiet romantic getaway at this cabin overlooking the Osage river. Unfortunately/fortunately, right as we we’re heading out the door the owners let us know that the pipes were frozen and we couldn’t come. They did refund our money but as it had been below freezing for days it was disappointing the owners didn’t check and address this sooner.

Woodsy retreat

Roomy cabin. Kitchen nicely stocked with whatever you may need including spices. Beds comfortable. Large open deck overlooks the valley with gasconade river. Pictures can't capture the beauty. Grilled steaks and enjoyed the sounds of the woods. Lots of deer close by. Drive slow on the roads in evening. Loved the use of canoe in the river next to the property. Hiked the nearby clifty creek. Went on float trips gasconade/big piney and nearby upper Meramec river. Perfect home base for outdoor adventures. Kathy is very gracious and responsive to any question or need. Would definitely consider visiting again.

Beautiful property. The seclusion was good and as expected. The cabin was clean and well furnished. The access to the river was more difficult than expected. You need a 4-wheel drive to get to the river or hike down about half mile. The road to the river is fairly steep and rocky, you’ll do best in hiking shoes as tennis shoes will slip alot. But it was a difficult hike down and up for us, once was enough. The water right there was pretty murky, you have to either walk the river up to clearer water or navigate one of the canoes to the clearer water. We didn't do either because we didn't feel comfortable trying to get the canoe to the water and then have toget around the debris in the water. We did have a very relaxing stay and we were able to disconnect and recharge.

Cabin in the woods

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.

Peace

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.

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!

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.

The initial property was fun. The views were amazing, with a quick walk to the river. My wife loved the vintage pantry. We had an issue by no fault of the host and they were more than willing to help. The second place was just as great for a weekend getaway.

Excellent escape from city life!

This was one of my best vacations ever. The area was remote enough to be quiet and serene but close enough to a bigger town to get supplies for out stay. My family loved being out in the outdoors, especially being so close to a river. This vacation really allowed us to unplug and rest from busy city life. We all can’t wait to get back and do it again!
