Imagine not being able to see any neighbors and stargazing the unobstructed sky while sitting on the deck or in the cabin. There is no traffic whatsoever because the road to the cabin goes no where else! The 4 acre pond is suitable for fishing. Enjoy the firepit and new gas grill. Take a hike. Plan a day trip to Branson, MO. Watch nature's majesty as it manifests itself during all seasons. There are several nearby rivers for floating or canoeing. You can eat at one of your favorite fast food restaurants if you must! Cabool has a Subway, DQ and Sonic. There are McDonalds in nearby towns, both about 15 miles! Cabool also has a Mexican Restaurant, Asian Diner, a grocery store and restaurant that Mennonites operate and cook for (even their hamburger buns are homemade!) and an old fashioned Cafe. Bring your family or just yourself to revive, rejuvenate and refresh your spirit. This is a perfect location to 'get away from it all’,explore, get back to nature, for storytelling and story making. No TV but there is a DVD player for movie watching.

This is the perfect place to unwind and just getaway. Getting up in the morning and sitting on the porch or dock drinking tea and enjoying nature was amazing! Kids had a blast fishing and catching frogs, the owners are amazing and very understanding always quick to help would highly recommend this place of you want to disconnect and be away for awhile. Also you can take the boat out to fish and they have life jackets and fishing poles incase you forget yours!

This place is beautiful. We had a blasted. Watching the sunset on the porch or at the fire pit was breathtaking. You have to go hiking or paddle around the lake. We are going back!

Dream Spot
It doesn't get any better than this if you enjoy nature and fishing. The view from the cabin any time of day is phenomenal, but especially sunrise and sunset. The lake is great with mostly clear water and plenty of fish. We caught in the double digits every day we were there. The location is perfect whether you're planning to float one of the beautiful rivers nearby or even have business in Springfield. It's even close enough for a day trip to Branson. The hosts are incredible! Very attentive without being intrusive, and super nice!! We will definitely be spending more time here!

Where do I begin?!
This was the cabin of dreams for my best friend and I! It was the perfect weekend getaway! Sheila and David were super nice and helpful. We are already planning a trip in August!
Loved the peaceful stay. Gorgeous setting. No issues at all with our stay...wished that we could have stayed in the area longer to enjoy this property.

Great get away from everything!
My husband, 12 year old foster daughter and our 2 dogs booked 4 nights and loved every day we spent. Such a great way to spend time away from everything. Our foster daughter caught her 1st, 2nd and 3rd fish, she was obsessed with fishing after that! We saw geese, a red fox, a snake, and lots of other wildlife. The dogs loved every moment and we got so many great pictures and made great memories. We will definitely be back!!!!

The property was even more beautiful than expected! The host's were excellent and reponded quickly to our needs. We spent a lot of time on-site exploring the property, it did not disappoint!
This was the perfect getaway! We enjoyed hiking, fishing, and the treats that were provided. The cabin was clean and cozy and the view was spectacular.

Such a Peaceful Stay
The cabin is quaint and peaceful. The veiws are beautiful. Well stocked and very sufficient for our needs. Did a bit of fishing on the pond and caught some nice bass on the fly rod. We visited the area to drive the backroads and enjoy the fall colors.

Great get away for our little dog family
We had a great stay. The cabin is off the beaten path and it allowed us to disconnect from the world for a couple of days with our dog. We enjoyed sitting outside by the fire and watching our dog swim in the lake. The boat was fun to paddle out in the early evening. We didn’t fish but they sure were jumping. My only negative experiences were a couple of bugs in the cabin, one in the sink and one in the room on one
Of the iPads. It’s a cabin, it’s to be expected. The cabin was immaculate. The other item was that ahead of the trip I was informed of damages left by prior visitors and it was also restated on a note on the counter. It made me feel uncomfortable to know this and made me a little apprehensive for the rest of the trip. Also, this cabin was recommended to me by a prior guest who spoke highly of the trip and then received a low rating for cleanliness, overall, and house rules and they did not get a reason why from the host. This also lessened my enjoyment because I knew they had such a great time and the review left them confused and again, left us afraid to truly enjoy the stay in a relaxed state.

Quiet and secluded, just what we wanted.
Very nice place too stay. I do wish the pond had better access around it. The fishing is perfect for little kids. All we caught were smallmouth 8-12 in. Which we caught plenty, but I was looking for big largemouth. The pond is very clean and healthy but unfortunately I believe the fish are stunted. The sign is, when all you catch is the same species and sizes. The pond has some awesome potential! Hosts were easy to work with. Overall it was a very nice place too stay.

Peaceful and beautiful
The property was well maintained, and the perfect escape into the country. I made a mistake in the check in process and the hosts were extremely understanding and helpful with helping me get it straightened out. My wife, dog, baby and I had a great time, and we had a great time catching (and releasing) a ton of bass. The property offered so much to do, and so much entertainment for little ones. Can’t recommend this spot enough, and look forward to returning for another stay in the future.
