"We were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary - 2 of us. Back porch was our favorite - stunning views, intriguing to watch an active farm at work making hay bales in the fields with a team of tractors, freeing to watch the birds flying as a pack high in the sky, peaceful to watch the horses grazing in the areas around the cabin. There was one rainy day during our stay, and we enjoyed sitting on the back porch reading & playing cards while listening to the gentle sound of the rain all around. I did yoga in grass next to the cabin & down by the river access many times. We packed our lunch & drinks for leisurely swimming & lounging at the river access one day and took it up a notch with the 5 mile route with 2 kayaks another day. It was comforting to come back to the cabin in the evenings after being out in nature all day to unwind - grill meat for dinner, brought our own DVD player to watch movies, dip in the hot tub. Tracey & her family are welcoming & we enjoyed chatting with Tracey on the way to the 5 mile kayak drop. Bring cash for the extra floating fees. We would love to return to stay in this cabin or check out some of their other options on the property with 4J Vacation Rentals - it was all so wonderful!"
Ellen's Log Cabin with Hot Tub ~ Located Minutes From The Upper Meramec River
10/10 Excellent
"I don’t write reviews very often, but this place absolutely deserves one. We had such a wonderful stay. It was even more beautiful than we imagined, and the pictures online honestly don’t do it justice. From drinking our morning coffee while listening to all the different birds to relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring, every moment felt peaceful.It was the perfect place to slow down and recharge, and being just a short drive from the river made it even better. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature, I can’t recommend this place enough. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already hoping we can come back someday."
"This is our second time staying here and it was just as awesome as the first time. They accommodated us asking to leave later so we could leave the dogs in the cabin while we tryied the burger place in town before we left. We will definitely be back a third time!"
Secluded farmhouse retreat - Meramec river access!
8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our time as a family. The barn with the games was a big hit with the teenagers. JW gave us info for the rafting/kayaking outfitter and it was a beautiful place on the river to float along and enjoy ourselves. Very few others were in the same area. Easy access to the river and easy to find out take out point.The horseback riding was rated a success from those that went. We just didn't realize it was a bit of a drive to get to it but each rider prizes the horseshoe they were given. Four of us ventured to the local winery and Steelville Saturday afternoon. Absolutely AWESOME art gallery there with paintings done in the area recently for a competition. The CANOE "monument" in town is something to look for.We visited the ONONDAGA Cave after checking out. Having seen probably a couple of dozen caves around the US -- this one is most impressive.We stayed 3 nights and appreciate The Wright Brothers opening their doors to us!"
You can enjoy a tasting or tour at Peaceful Bend Vineyard during your travels to Steelville. While in this family-friendly area, you can enjoy the wineries.
