Relaxing

It was a great stay at the Koi cabin. The host was very accommodating to us. I wish we could have stayed longer. It's at a great location for your day trips to surrounding parks and towns. We will definitely be back when we can spend more time and explore more of the beautiful area.

Wonderful!

We decided to do a two part vacation. The first half was all about the kids, but the 2nd half was for me. The cabin was super easy to find, clean, and quiet! The girls loved the Koi pond and we found an awesome swimming hole just a few miles down the road. Would love to make this a yearly getaway!

Great couples getaway

The property was very clean and just as described. It was quiet and the hot tub was amazing. I have NO complaints about the property nor the owners. I will say if you are a person of color, I suggest shopping in St James. The town of Steelville was not comfortable and almost scary.

Girls Trip Change Of Pace

We usually go to Florida and try to enjoy the beach and the busy areas of the beach life. However this year we decided we wanted a cabin away from everyone else in an area where we could just listen to music, explore the area, And spend some Wells deserved time away from work! We thought this would be a one time saying and go back to visiting different beaches next year. However now we are reconsidering and I'm pretty sure We will be back to this same cabin or one close by next year.

Worn accommodations but nice location

Overall very nice place to stay. The hot tub was wonderful and the location is very quiet. The fridge was plenty large and the full stove and oven nice to use The house in general doesn't have a lot of lights, especially the living room area. Water pressure in the shower is low. A few short trim pieces weren't fastened down in various places. Overall, it is a very nice place. It just needs some attention and detail work to make it perfect.

Some lovely features

This property is rather rundown. The kitchen drawers and some of the utensils weren't clean. Most of the hot tub jets don't work. The floor of the tub/shower is slick; a mat needs to be added to prevent falling. The fire pit is lovely, as is the bed. And the location is also lovely; the stars were wonderful.

We enjoyed our stay, but the cleanliness of the outside and inside should have been better. We didn’t use the hot tub because it wasn’t clean. The host did offer to clean it. Also need to update with current pictures online.

What a beautiful property! Very relaxing which is exactly what we needed! Enjoyed feeding the koi and watching the frogs in the small pond. The firm bed was perfect for my bad back.

Gill Ridge Cabins

The wife and I have made three trips to the area and have stayed at Gill Ridge. Twice at Koi Pond and once at Ellens cabin. The properties are always clean and stocked with plenty of towels, bedding and kitchen cookware. Lots of firewood for the fire pit and grills for outside cooking. Nothing beats laying in your hot tub aftef dark under the stars! Plenty of places to eat in the area and things to do for all ages. We will be back again for our next weekend get away.
