We had the best week at this heavenly hideaway. This place is peace and quiet personified. Fishing on the lake was amazing, and we enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Cindy and Johnny were wonderful hosts which made our experience all the better. We will definitely be back.
This was an amazing vacation retreat. The cabin was incredible with its warm woodwork throughout and was beautifully decorated with antiques, lending to the ambiance of a true cabin in the woods. It only gets better when you step outside and take in the stunning view of the lake and secluded landscape from the big wrap-around covered porch. Although the inside is warm and inviting, most of our time was spent outside enjoying the quiet tranquility of the nature that surrounds it.
The cabin is well stocked with all the modern day amenities we needed. It was EXTREMELY clean and well cared for. The beds were comfortable and each bedroom and the living room had a TV with cable access. The only thing missing was an indoor shower, however there is an awesome outdoor shower by the hot-tub, so just be sure to bring a robe!
The grounds of the retreat offer hiking, fishing, boating and kayaking. The fishing was incredible. If you have little ones you want to teach to fish, this would be an awesome place to do it. Wildlife was abundant, there was even a pair of bald eagles who regularly flew over the lake looking for fish.
The property managers (Cindy and Johnny) were incredibly friendly and helpful.
Thank you both for an amazing stay!
We had a wonderful stay! So peaceful and secluded. Enjoyed the paddle boat, the hot tub, the outdoor shower, and the cabin and surrounding area was beautiful. Would recommend for those looking to get away from it all!
We stayed here for a bachelor trip and it was amazing. The stay was very relaxing and peaceful. We spent the days fishing and hanging out by the lake while watching all the wildlife. We caught enough fish to make everyone happy. The cabin is very secluded but also close enough to the ozarks that we were able to go golfing and have a night out.
Everything about this place was better than advertised and the steaks were amazing. We will definitely be back!!
We had one of the best vacations we've taken! The site was better than advertised. We had car trouble on the way down and were delayed in arriving. The host called us on our way to just assure us that the site was ready and if we had any questions we should call them. We enjoyed the stay and bought some steaks to take home with us. Keep up the EXCELLENT work to the Hix's
My wife and I stayed for an extended weekend arriving Friday evening and leaving Monday morning. Everything about this getaway was amazing. Wonderful cabin, location, private lake, and so many amenities including paddle boat and small fishing boat with trolley motor. The extras such as firewood, charcoal, and all the other things you would normally have to buy were included! I would recommend this property to anyone and hope to go back in the summer!
This was our happy place. Private stocked pond great for fishing, very clean cabin, comfortable bed...everything you need for a relaxing getaway to unwind and leave your troubles behind. We'll definitely be back!
I wish I didnât have to write a review because Iâd rather keep this best kept secret to ourselves. This property was beyond our expectations. The pictures online donât do it justice. If youâre looking for peace and serenity and to disconnect this is the place for you. Cindy and Johnny were fantastic hosts. The cabin has everything you need and if they donât then you donât need it. Lol!! Our only regret is that we didnât book it for longer. We fished, kayaked, paddle boated, hung out by the fire pit making sâmores (provided by Johnny and Cindy) & enjoyed the hot tub nightly. The outdoor shower was amazing in the cool mornings. It was an exhilarating way to start the day. Also, enjoyed several steaks that came from cattle raised on the farm. We even grabbed some steaks for the road to enjoy at our home!! Again, I canât say enough!! Loved it!!
My 15 year old son, 12 year old daughter and I stayed at this property for 5 days. I was a little worried about my teenagers being bored but that never happened. The cabin has every amenity you could need - it is clean, comfortable and very charming. The hot tub on rainy days was really nice. The lake was fabulous! Gorgeous and secluded. Kayaks, paddle boat and a small fishing boat were all provided. We were in or on the water every day and the fishing was unbelievable. The wildlife was abundant - squirrels, chipmunks, turtles, frogs, snakes (only 1), birds, and deer. Town is close and convenient if you need it. The hosts were easy to talk to and extremely helpful. They left a sâmores package and some candy for the kids. I highly recommend this property for anyone needing a visit to the lake!
This cabin is a wonderfully serene getaway. Beautiful landscape, and porch made for reading and relaxing. Used the hot tub nightly and took several long soaks in the inside tub with a good book. Hosts are wonderful and provided sâmore fixings for the firepit. I would return n a minute, we had such a great time.
My husband and I had a wonderful time unplugging at this place!! The property is so beautiful and secluded, it is a perfect place to unplug from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The owners were very kind and had the delicious hamburger meat and steaks we had bought from them ahead of time, thawing in the sink for us. They also included hamburger buns and snacks for us upon arrival! It was clean and well appointed. It was warmer when we visited, so the only shower being outdoors, was not a problem at all. The hot tub over looks the huge beautiful private pond, which we enjoyed after a day of fishing. We would definitely recommend this place and most definitely be back!
Absolutely loved and adored the cabin and it's total scenery vibe. This is what we've been looking for for a long time, total seclusion and privacy. Thoroughly enjoyed and got total use out of the 13 acre private Lake. We loved and enjoyed trolling around the lake in the boat, we also use the Pontoon paddle boat that was a very great experience very cool. We enjoyed watching the woodpeckers, even saw about four or five deer. Just overall enjoyed listening to the sounds and all the wildlife and total nature that this property had to offer. Would highly recommend it for other people. We got lots of use out of the fire throughout our entire stay there. Very nice ambiance in the evening time. The jacuzzi was very nice and relaxing after a good day of hiking and just overall relaxation. The outdoor shower was awesome what a great experience taking a shower in the open air. I believe that the cabin should have had a little bit more cabinet space for our food. We thoroughly enjoyed haha Tonka State Park what a great and awesome hike and experience that was. Would highly recommend that while you are there. Overall it was an awesome and great stay we thoroughly enjoyed it, we would come back again. Would like to thank Cindy and Johnny for all the accommodations that they made for us.
This is such a beautiful piece of property and the owners were so gracious. I would recommend this property to anybody and have already done so to so many people! They went above and beyond with the items they provided and the personable check in. We will definitely be back!
We had an amazing stay! The property was everything that was promised... Very private, quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and fun! The owners made sure our stay was comfortable and even left a little treat basket for making s'mores. Even though the property is close to everything including restaurants, parks, sites, etc., We found we didn't even want to leave the property. Everyday we had a blast swimming in the lake, hot tubbing, going out on the super fun pedal boat, kayaking, enjoying drinks on the dock watching the sunset, and relaxing on the covered deck with ceiling fans! We truly had an awesome and relaxing stay here and look forward to coming back again soon! Highly recommend!!!
This is our second stay here and we absolutely love it!! The house has everything you need. Very clean. Has all the supplies in the kitchen. We used the kayaks, fishing boat and paddleboat. The fishing is great!! You literally have your own private lake.
Hot tub is nice at the end of the day. Love the outdoor shower!! We will definitely be back again!!!!
The cabin and property were everything we hoped it would be and more! We were looking for a secluded cabin on a lake and we found it here! It was so peaceful and perfect! It has a lot of outdoor space to enjoy. We enjoyed every bit of itâŠthe fire pit (thanks, Cindy for the sâmores!), the kayaks, the boats, the hot tub, the porch, the sound of the waterfall, etc. Our boys had so much fun fishing! We even heard the whippoorwills and saw some eagles. The cabin was very clean. The kitchen had everything you could think of. This was one of the nicest cabins weâve stayed in!
My husband and I enjoyed my birthday here. The cabin was nice, the view was beautiful, and the beef you can purchase from the owners was delicious. You definitely get the privacy of a country getaway, but then you're just a drive away from all of the Ozark amenities and sites.
This property is great, if you want to relax and get away this is your place. Great location, clean, good fishing, all we could ask for. Stayed with my Wife, and 4 children (6,4,2 and 1) and had plenty of room and things to do. Cindy and Johnny are great to deal with. Will be going back again!
Beautiful cabin on a lovely private lake! So peaceful and lots to enjoy , kayaking, hiking, hot tub, paddle boat! Had a lively weekend getaway with my daughter!
My friends and I wanted a lowkey, but fun weekend away. It was a 2-year delayed bachelorette trip. Our plan was to relax, talk, cook and enjoy some peace in natureâand that's exactly what this cabin provides. The couple who owns the large property is very kind, and if you haven't meal planned they have the hook up on Missouri beef. There is plenty of outdoor seating and space, so plan to take advantage of that. We recommend this property and hope to return!
This place was everything we wanted and more. The property is beautiful and surrounded by nature. The private lake was fun to paddle around and has plenty of good fishing. The Hix family are wonderful hosts and I would highly recommend trying their steaks, delicious!
