Awesome Quiet Place

We had a great stay. This property is exactly as advertised, and is a great retreat. We had an event in Fulton MO which brought us from Nebraska (and ultimately from AZ).... and we could not have asked for a better stay. The host was awesome, and communicated great, check in was a breeze and the place was perfect. Overlooking a pond, a short hike to a creek, and close enough to the places we needed to go. And not to mention the wildlife! We saw at least 50 deer during the few days we were there. Thank you Hailey! The Ferrons

We loved this place. The location was awesome. We were in the area to visit family. We were able to invite family and friends to come visit and entertain them. Our grandchild enjoyed the fishing. Great place to stay.
