Cool cabin

This quirky cabin is so unique and interesting that it’s almost a destination in itself. It’s located in a beautiful area with nearby trails that offer wonderful views. The interior of the cabin is comfortable with much more room to gather than you realize from the listing.

Thanksgiving 2024

We really enjoyed our stay. This is a unique place to stay for sure, but the house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with what you need. Two negatives: there is a picture of a white neighboring house associated with the listing when you look at location, and the gravel part of the road could really use some repair. If we did not have a truck to navigate the snow we got while we were there, it could have been a real problem. We would stay here again.

Whimsy and Wonder

This property was so whimsical and fun that we would totally stay again. We came for a soccer tournament. My 4 kids loved exploring all the nooks and hidden corners! There was a kind sized bed that my husband, myself, and our 4 year old slept in, two twin beds in the top room, and two full sized pull out couches. Every room is on a different level. The moose head added a wonky charm! We loved the fireplace! This by far has been one of the most fun and charming places that we've stayed!! We will book again next year for this tournament!!

Loads of character!

This cabin like home has so much charm. It was almost whimsical. It was sort of tricky to find but worth it. Hidden away from the buzz of the city and still close. Loads of steps throughout so might not be good for someone who can’t do steps. Fun for our family.

House from an old mystery novel

There were 2 negatives, but the structure of the house made you forget them. Outside could be trimmed up better, seemed a little overgrown and the bedroom you 1st walk into had a little musty smell. The bed was super comfy and there are lots of nook and crannies to explore. I would sray again for sure. the homethe home.

Great stay!

Perfect location for our Six Flags stay! Large cabin for the money, many rooms. Well stocked. Def back in the woods. Almost 5 stars....the only two downsides are the fire pit area is completely overgrown and not usable (we were looking forward to this amenity) and there is no driveway. It's a muddy hill that has washed away. I damaged my car driving up to cabin. You'd be okay if you have a SUV. These two things are easy fixes. Couldn't find the river for float trip as mentioned in listing. We asked someone local and they said there is no floating on this river? Not sure ... Otherwise great host, great spot. I would stay again if the driveway was added. Deer were hanging out just outside the door when we woke! :)

Hidden cabin

A little hidden back off the trail but the place was very spacious and had everything we needed. Only down to the weekend was that the yard area was not cut so we didn't feel comfortable doing a fire or adventure through the area. All and all we truly enjoyed this quirky little place

Unfortunetly we opened the door to a musty moldy wet smell with soft floors And extremely unclean furniture. The owner was very responsive right away I messaged him and he responded with an offer of a much more cleaner home down the road we could use for the night. He also offered a full refund however it has not been received as of this review. Looking back on the reviews it seems this used to be a great place. This is a very unique cabin however I wouldn't recommend it with children. Once cleaned and properly fixed structure wise I would recommend.

Not for everyone, but we loved it

Really fun place. Lots of room to entertain, lovely views and as everyone says, quirky.We are low maintenance, and it’s a low maintenance type of place.If you just want to have a fun place to stay that isn’t just some boring antiseptic housing development, you’ll like it.Very close to Castlewood Park, where I was hoping to get some hikes and running, sadly, it was flooded out, but it’s a great park I’ve run at before. We come to STL a lot and we will return.
