We had the best time. There is so much charm throughout this house. It was peaceful and cozy. Ben treated us like family with his kindness and generosity. Our kids loved playing in the creek and admired all the rocks. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this truly unique and timeless home.

Peace and quiet.

Was such a peaceful place to stay. Some great hiking right on the property. Ben was a great tour guide and let us know where to go hike. Was a nice touch to have a few groceries already there like milk, bread, eggs, and s’more supplies.

Great getaway

Very remote, if you’re looking for peace and nature this is the place. Host were more than considerate by leaving bare essentials food and snacks for the family. Ive never had that anywhere else. They were easy to contact and replied almost instantly everytime. The lodge has a great setup and just so remote nobody wanted to leave. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up. Will be staying again if im in the area. Very highly recommend.

Comfy Remote cabin stay

This was a great place for us to stay while riding the Chadwicks trails. The internet was spotty so if this is a working vacation dont bet on it. The cabin was very well accomaditing with all the little things you would probably forget to bring. It was very clean and orderly. The ac worked well and we stayed comfortably in 100 degree weather. There is also a very nice dog that visits we named him Felipe. He doesnt bite just wants pets and scraps. Overall highly recommend

The home is an amazing home! Decorated very well. But overall our favorite experiences at this home was our interactions with Ben. He’s the sweetest man! And took my husband down to the pond to show him where to fish and boy he was right there were TONS of fish in the pond. This was one of our favorite stays! 8 nights was not long enough.

Relaxing Cabin away from it all

Our family enjoyed our stay very much. While in the area for a wedding we had 2 families staying in the home and everyone had a great time. The house was very prepared for guests and had every convienance we needed.

The most wonderful spot!

I can’t say enough great things about the cabin and the host! My kids and I loved the adventure of driving through the little creek to get to the cabin. It was clean, cozy, had everything you could want in a get away! Plenty of hiking and exploring nearby. I hope to be back sooner rather than later!

Will stay here again!

We recently stayed here after Christmas and unfortunately, had to return home 9 hours away after only one night because of an emergency with our daughter. They were very understanding and refunded most of our money. The place was so amazing and there were lots of little extras like milk, eggs, bread, sandwich supplies in the refrigerator and fresh baked molasses cookies. Was very glad that we brought my husband’s four-wheel-drive truck because of the road into the property. We have rescheduled to go back in the spring. I can’t wait to go back!

We’re ready to go back!

The cabin was perfect! It had everything we needed and lots of things we didn’t know we needed, but we used. It is a short hike across the property into Mark Twain national forest, and a great bouldering spot at turtlehead rock. The beds were super comfortable, and the setting was beautiful and peaceful. The location, accommodations, thoughtful details, and friendliness and accessibility of the hosts made the stay amazing. We’ll definitely be back!

Off the beaten path with 5 star stay

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we could possibly need and then some. Beautifully decorated, clean. The water pressure was great! Loved that we had a washer and dryer to clean our clothes so we didn’t have to over pack! All wood floors were nice for me because I have allergies and I didn’t have one asthma attack while we stayed. The cabin even smells clean if you know what I’m talking about no musty smell like most cabins have. The bedding was very nice soft and kept us comfortable the entire night. The owner was so very nice. We enjoyed the history of the property. There are even some very nice books supplied at the cabin about the area if you want to snuggle up on the couch by the fireplace. This cabin is pretty far out. It took us about an hour to drive into Branson. But that is the charm of this place with it being right on swan creek you can play in the river in the quiet. No one is around you. You can actually see the starts out here and they are breathtaking. If you want to not hear civilization at all and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city this is the place. Our 4 dogs had a blast running around this property! The road in definitely needs a 4 wheel drive truck or all wheel drive vehicle. I would make sure you have a substantial ground clearance under your vehicle. We loved it so much fun just driving in with our teens we crossed creek flows over the road on the way in that made it so much fun. If you look off the side of the gravel road driving in we saw several natural waterfalls that were gorgeous!!!! There are springs everywhere coming up out of the ground along the drive into the property as well. The inside of the cabin can easily fit an entire family group. Plenty of sleeping for a few family’s to join you if you want a place that’s away this is it. We plan on spending many more visits to this beautiful place and making it a yearly stay. Next time we will stay much longer this is the outdoor family’s dream! Plus not sure if it was just our cell service or not but we had none. It was great for the fact that our teens can’t disconnect from them. Here they had no choice. It was great they hated it the first day but then opened up and seemed like we had a really family experience again. I can’t tell you how nice it is without all those distractions out of the way. Getting back to the comforts of being together. It really helped our family. I hope it can help your too. We loved it here! Really loved it!

Amazing unit. One of the best I have ever seen. Too bad I only stayed the night and left early the next day. A little hard to find, so be sure to arrive when it's still light outThe only thing is a VRBO problem. VRBO needs to streamline the check in process. The majority of the time I don't get the check in instructions and I have to call the owner to help me out. Thankfully, the host left the front door open for me. When I arrived, there was no cell reception

My adult son and I needed a well-deserved break. We brought our three well-behaved pups. Plenty of space to stretch, sniff, walk, run and so much fun to swim in Swan Creek just a short walk from the beautifully furnished cabin with every amenity possible, plus the fixings for breakfast and smores. Firepit was awesome. Gas grill was great. Only downside was well-water -- bring bottled water. No cell service (AT&T) but had internet access via WiFi provided. Krissy and Ben were wonderful and so friendly and accommodating. Sitting and relaxing on the front porch, listening to the birds and bees was so refreshing. WE SO VERY MUCH ENJOYED THE QUIET AND BEAUTY OF THE CABIN, THE AMENITIES AND PROPERTY. Looking forward to returning next year.
