Cute Ozark Mountain cabin in the woods: a quiet escape or adventurous exploring

The Ozark Hideaway is the perfect place for a cozy, quiet getaway. It’s secluded location is 8 miles from quaint Gainesville, MO, home of Hootin-n-Hollerin, in Ozark County on a well-maintained gravel road. Abundant wildlife abounds throughout the 90 wooded acres, and white-tailed deer can often be seen grazing nearby. You can enjoy the well-marked hiking trails and, if you are lucky and rains have come, relax by the natural waterfall. Either way, you are sure to be amazed at the unusual, volcanic-like rock formations found in that area. If you are the more adventurous type, you may choose to venture off the trails and explore the wooded area on your own. Or, you may want to visit some of the other attractions in the area, such as the grist mills, Caney Mountain Refuge, or some of the numerous lakes, rivers and streams for seasonal adventures in floating, fishing, swimming, or boating.
If you aren’t looking for adventure but just want to rest, relax, and rejuvenate, you have definitely come to the right place. The quiet, peaceful serenity of Ozark Hideaway is hard to describe. You really must experience it for yourself. The views are breathtaking; the stars are brilliant; the air is clean; the quiet is calming. The cabin itself is most often described by our guests as “so cute, cozy, and homey”. The living room offers a gas fireplace/stove, comfortable seating, and a 50" flatscreen tv on antenna with Blue Ray DVD player. You will find a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, stove, refrigerator, and plenty of dishes, appliances and cookware. A beautifully furnished bedroom with queen bed and antique dresser has a sliding door onto the covered porch and ample windows to enjoy the wooded view and gorgeous sunsets. Additional sleeping space is provided by a single bed in the loft area. The spacious bathroom has a walk-in shower, as well as a hidden washer and dryer. A fire pit is available for cozy campfires and roasting hot dogs, as well as a chiminea to warm you on the back porch.
This delightful cabin in a picturesque setting is sure to be a favorite getaway for you.

Retreat

I stayed here for a few days for a private retreat. It was quiet, tranquil and just what I needed. The cabin has everything you need. Anne is a great host. Very welcoming and attentive to anything you might need but respectful of your privacy. The property is wonderful and I loved the trails on-site are excellent. Perfect for a short excursion.

Outstanding!

This was our favorite of all our VRBO stays. The cabin was adorable in the woods, and the owner resides in a house nearby. We were able to check ourselves in, and she was ALWAYS available if we needed, even to just ask questions. She left us muffins and a birthday card for my daughter, and was so warm and welcoming. We hated to leave. My family is moving to this area. Knowing there are people there that are so kind is a huge plus. Loved Anne and her place!!. The environment is breathtaking..

Beautiful Fall Trip

A perfect, quiet, well furnished place with lovely host and welcoming committee of pets! Beautiful fall colors right out the back door. Close enough to grand gulf state park, close to Caney Mt. Conservation area (very pretty!) and Byrant Creek St. Park (also beautiful!). Spent a 3 day fall break trip there and it was a good choice. Highly recommend it!

Third Time's Still The Charm

Another wonderful visit to Ozark Hideaway - our 3rd in just over a year. As usual, everything was set up perfectly and even some improvements were made (love the new cookware). Our host is the most dedicated one you'll find that cares about your experience and strives to ensure your time there is both memorable and enjoyable.

My Favorite Stay!

If I could rate this any higher, I would. Five stars isn’t enough. From the moment we walked in until we left, I was so happy with our choice of where to stay in the Ozarks. If you want a peaceful stay in the country, you will love this rental.

A Great Getaway

This space was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our getaway vacation! It was peaceful and serene, with lovely views. Anne was very kind to meet with, though we didn't run into each other very often. They were sure to help us out if we needed anything, but everything was smooth! Would definitely stay again in the future. And it was so great to be able to bring our dog along to enjoy the stay as well.

We had a great time!

The cabin was very clean and decorated for Christmas! We enjoyed hiking on the well marked trails and enjoyed the serenity of the property. We used the grill and had a small fire in the chiminea. Overall a very relaxing weekend. Also Anne is a great host and even baked us some delicious pumpkin muffins and left a Christmas card. Thank you Anne!

Amazing hosts!

Absolutely beautiful area and beautiful property! The trails were well marked and wide. The multiple trails were great for exploring and we enjoyed walking all of them. The waterfall is a must see! Spring is the best time to see it flowing. Very peaceful stay overall. The hosts were definitely one of our favorite parts of staying here. We really enjoyed visiting with them and getting to know them. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope that we get to again someday!

I will echo all previous reviewers input and can't really improve on those. The hosts have thought of everything.

Should have spent more time at the property and less time in my deerstand

I came up to Missouri for a last minute hunt. I was looking for the closest place I could stay to where I would be hunting. Really glad I chose Charlotte and Anne’s beautiful property. Before I even arrived they text me to welcome me and let me know they’d turned the outside light on for me. They had a lot of special touches that really appreciated. The property was beautiful. The house is very cozy and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back in the near future. Thanks Charlotte & Anne!!

Much needed time!

I only gave the accuracy of online posting 4 stars because there has been a change! The futon has been replaced with a new, very comfy couch! Great for naps (we took several 😉). The only other thing I would note is that the fridge is on the small side. We were staying 8 days which is longer than most stay so I’m sure most of the time it is completely sufficient. The trails were fabulous. The cabin cozy and comfy. The attention to detail is amazing. Night lights, flashlights, labeling of light switches, etc. Small things that made such a difference! Overall we had an amazingly quiet, calm and much needed week! Thanks!!!

Modern rustic

I stayed at the cabin for a week while on a genealogy expedition. I chose the cabin because I wanted the comfort of a home rather than a hotel room. I wasn't disappoint. Charlotte and Anne were gracious hosts who live next to the cabin and are right there if you need anything. The cabin was very clean and had all the amenities I needed. The location of the cabin is stellar. I would have my coffee on the back patio and the only thing you will hear is the call of Doves or Whippoorwills. You can also watch the squirrels chasing each other in the trees. I slept at night like I was in my own bed. I only had time to take one short hike down to the waterfall. The woods are beautiful. But be sure to look down as you hike along, there are many unusual rocks to look at to include geodes. I give Ozark Hideaway Cabin 5 stars!

Show Me Hospitality

Pictures are worth a thousand words, and the site pictures are spot on. No disappointment here. Hosts take great pride in their property and it is set up as if they lived here. We are husband and wife who celebrated our anniversary here, our first vacation in 32 years without kids or grands. We were looking for serene surroundings over fun, but we found both. The area is secluded, off the beaten path but with available wifi and good cell reception if you need to communicate. I love that our hosts live nearby on the property; made me feel secure knowing if I needed help, a voice in another state or country wouldn't be answering the phone. Anne and Charlotte are very respectful of your privacy. They are caring and friendly people, pet lovers. That was all I needed to know. No details spared in making you feel welcome and at home. We were welcomed with a sweet note and sweet treats for us and our fur baby. There is a large binder with detailed maps and info on the area that was painstakingly put together. Everything in the cabin was clearly labeled and easy to locate. The hiking trails are just out the patio door, and well maintained and clearly marked. There is an area for grilling and a large fire pit. There is a short drive to get to the nearby lakes and sites and for restaurants or supplies. Everyone in the area is friendly. Perfect example of country living. The only con for me is ticks, because I am allergic to their bites, but we brought repellent, and the hosts were thoughtful enough to provide some and recommend it. We hope to return and experience the area in the fall or winter. Book here confidently; you won't be disappointed.
