Scott and Lisa were great hosts. They were very responsive and I enjoyed talking with each of them while we were there. We were concerned about driving their in our Tesla but they have a couple of RV Hookups right at the cabin that allowed us to quickly charge (about 30 miles of range for each hour), which gave us peace of mind and got us back on the road with no issues. Thank you guys.

Personal retreat

Despite the constant, drenching rain, I enjoyed my quiet solitude retreat. The picture made me think it was more isolated than it is (there are other cabins and the trail-riding stables right across the road), but given the weather and time of year, I pretty much had the place to myself. The cabin itself is tiny, but very clean and well supplied. The hosts are very friendly and responsive and I would highly recommend if you’re in the area. The dirt road in May be a little intimidating for a small car, but was no problem for my Outback, despite the rainy conditions and minor rain runoff damage.

Short River Run

We enjoyed our adventure in the Missouri Ozarks so much! So many waterways to see and saw the Wild Horses twice and I got to check that off my bucket list! The property was clean and comfortable and the hosts showed their hospitality, they are very friendly and accommodating! We hope to come back with our horses sometime in Fall. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!

Property was the cleanest the interior design and decor were the best I have ever stayed at in the Eminence area. Scott and Lisa were great hosts and the additional amenity's of the new Whisky River Bar along with food from Shortys Rolling Grill not to mention horseback riding and horse stalls for your own really make this a one stop destination. We will back.

Peaceful Getaway

Our overall immediate impression was how clean and well organized everything was in such a tiny spot. We stayed at the Bunk House. It had a large back deck. When sitting there we could see the horses and spent much time just watching them graze. So quiet and serene! It is definitely for people who want to escape to the country life! You are not totally out in the woods, though, because Eminence is not too far away. We will definitely be back! We will probably try one of the other cabins as we had just a little bit of trouble because, as seniors, we had a little trouble getting in and out of the bunk bed. All in all, it is a wonderful place and we have nothing but appreciation for Lisa and Scott and their hospitality! Thank you so much, we’ll be back!
