Nice place to lay your head.
This cabin was probably built in the 70s or early 80s based on the decor, but it was clean, comfortable, has the washer/dryer and dishwasher which was a blessing.

Cute Cabin in the Woods
My 15 year old put down his phone and went outside and roamed the woods and creek bed. He said "We should have brought my friends." Enough said.

Good but Not Great
The house/cabin was functional for what we needed but can definitely use some cleaning. We had several mice hiding under the bed and found droppings in the utensil and cook wares. I probably won't stay again. But if it was a fishing trip or roughing it kind of setting - then it'd be adequate.

Loved that the property was so close to Maramec Springs State Park. We really took advantage of the walking trails. Also a day trip into Steelville was easy on a rainy day.

Very fun, nature retreat
We had a great time staying here. Our group of 7 had plenty of space. We loved the fire pit and spent most of the time around the fire. The cell reception is non existent there, but the wifi works well. Getting to town for supplies is just a short drive and their recommendation for Adventure Outdoors for a float trip was great. Overall, great experience.

Good Cabin Stay
Cabin was just what we expected. There were some cleanliness aspects that could have been addressed before our stay, but for the most part it looks as it does online and worked perfect for our float trip weekend.

Nice set up, but needs updating
Nice set up with three cabins clustered together, each with a nice, individual outdoor area, but within an easy walk of each other. Cabin needs updated and wasn’t the cleanest. Suited our needs. (Do note in the owners instructions, toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags need to be brought to the cabin).

The wifi was terrible we just played board games no TV watched a few dvds that was provided. Overall the stay was great. Just lack of television or wifi connection I think that wifi should be taken off the listing. Thank you

Cute cabin but it was squeaky
The cabin was cute. Location was nice and quite. The beds were not very comfortable and the floors squeaked alot. Difficult to sleep at night when you could hear every movement. We were a group of 6 family and friends that went on a float trip. AC worked great. The internet was not very good. There was no cell phone service.

Will stay again
This is a secluded cabin at the end of a dirt road with 2 other cabins. I was a perfect size for our family. With our daughter going to Missouri S&T this will be our go to place in the future. It was 20 minutes from campus.

Suitable Cabin
This is a gorgeous cabin. The style is a bit outdated, but it was sufficient for our needs to utilize the night before a float trip. The owners were helpful in their instructions the days up to the stay.

Clean Roomy Get away, tucked away from it all
Nice 2 story home, very clean. We did experience an odor of some sort possibly polyurethane from the floors not sure but it was strong when we first entered other than that our stay was very comfortable. I thought it was slightly difficult to locate especially at night!!!! In my opinion the sign could have been better noticed with some light on it and if VRBO would list the address to the property it could help as well. Also I had no idea I needed to bring my own toilet paper and paper towels with me, I'm thankful I received a message from the property owners prior to my visit with the information otherwise I would had been lost on both the address and toilet paper issues. The cottage itself was lovely! There's a very nice kitchen for meals, washer and dryer for the extended stay visitors. BBQ grill outside nice outdoors area with campfire area too. It's tucked away from everything so be sure to bring everything you may need when you're visiting, there's a small store a few miles away but you will drive for miles to the nearest Walmart or large grocery chain. The cottage is very clean as I said before, they do have internet for you to hook up to, slow but if you're trying to relax you seriously don't need it anyway. My husband would love to come back, MSP IS sooo close to this little beautiful getaway he's sad he didn't get to visit the park this go around. We stayed here for our son's wedding.

The cabin was clean. The bbq grill could have used a good cleaning. Would have liked have a grill brush. Everything else was stocked well. We were at the end so no through traffic. Over all loved it. We will absolutely be back!
