Very clean accommodations. Very secluded location. Private, peaceful, and quiet. Very relaxing environment. We found it to be a very good central location for going out and exploring the trails.
Great clean place! Great location out away from people but a short drive to town. We had a nice quiet stay. Very handy they had everything we needed for cooking and any other needs. The hosts are very friendly and assured us if we needed anything to just call. We Had plenty of sights to see in the area and we plan to visit again soon!
We loved the scenery. Traveling up the mountain road and all the way down to the current river. Absolutely loved the craftsmanship of the cabin. It was beautiful. Owners were accessible if needed and gave great suggestions on places to visit.
Very nice cozy cabin, well equipped with cookware, utensils, appliances, gas and charcoal grill. Bathroom is a little small for tall people. Loved the seclusion, no traffic to bother you. Great stay!!
We stayed here just to get away for the weekend. We were blown away with how much we loved it. We were greeted by “Carl” the cat. Our stay was very quiet but full of sights. The horses are so fun to just sit and watch. We also had all 3 guard dogs come join us for dinner one night lol. Our cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed! We are definitely going to be coming back!
My friend and I stayed in the tiny house in June 2024 and I brought 1 horse with me to ride on the trails. The tiny house is super clean, it was very well made and decorated. Everything works and it’s nice to have a coffee maker there, pots and pans, kitchen utensils etc. All bedding is provided.
The horse stalls very very safe and clean. There is over 300 miles of horse trails accessible from camp. We’ll be back!!
I stayed at the Tiny House with my husband and our 11 year old. We had such a lovely time. The cabin is small, but all the space it utilized and it had all the amenities you could want! The screened in porch was perfect for hummingbird viewing and sun-drenched breakfasts. We made s’mores in the fire lit and sat on the deck listening to the sounds of the woods.
The property was easy to find, which is always a plus down in an area where cell service might be sketchy!
We went floating on the Current River, took a road trip to Alley Springs, Peck Conservation Area, Round Spring and Rocky Falls.
Eminence is a darling town and we had a great burger at Hogan’s grill and then grabbed ice cream at the Dairy Shack.
We will definitely be coming back to this tiny cabin in the woods!
The Tiny House we stayed in is located down a dirt road. The only issue we had at all was there is a small sign stating the name of the place, but it could be missed. If one is not used to traveling down dirt roads it might be a little intimidating. Also, a low riding car may have difficulty traveling down the road.We are used to roads like this so it really wasn't an issue.It is a very nice "Tiny House", and had everything we needed. Very relaxing, and the scenery is just beautiful in the area. I would recommend it for sure.
Hosts were welcoming, answered any questions we had, very responsive if needed; place was sweet, very clean, updated, and had everything we needed to make our stay a very pleasant one; kitchen well stocked with utensils, and the screened in porch was delightful. Firepit was a nice out doorsy touch!
We had so much fun. The hosts were amazing. The food at the whiskey river outpost was delicious. My kids loved the tiny house so much that they wanted to buy it and bring it home with us so we could live in it.
Beautiful, secluded tiny house tucked into the Ozark hills on a working horse ranch. We were lucky to be there when a large trail ride was passing through and got to watch riders come by all day. Very helpful hosts gave us our space but were available to assist with anything if needed. Bonus: ice cream was awesome!
Really enjoyed staying at the tiny home, hostess was super nice and communicative, property was comfortable, clean and wonderfully located near all the parks/trails.
My sister's and I stayed for a weekend at the Tiny House and we loved everything about it. The host was wonderful and helpful and we felt right at home.
This place is in a perfect location if you're looking for peace and quiet and beautiful scenery. Check in and out was very easy and lots of helpful information was provided by the host. I'll definitely stay again!
Great cabin and we had awesome neighbors!! Had a blast ready to do it again next year.

We absolutely loved this location!! Quiet spot in the county, close drive to both current river and downtown. The only suggestion would be to have a better selection of firewood.
This was perfect for two adults on fishing trip. Hosts were great to work with. Super clean cabin way back in the woods. Loft beds were comfortable. Really cool place-looks even better in person than in the pics. Would definitely stay here again.
