The property was so peaceful and quiet. My oldest daughter, who is almost 22, loved the goat, sheep, and minature pony. The cottage was comfortable and clean. Great communication.
We arrived at dusk and the twinkling lights all over the garden and trees was magical! We will visit again in spring/summer to see the gardens and trees in bloom! The doves and animals were fun too!
Exactly what we were seeking & Exactly what we experienced
We were busy when we booked, hastily.
We showed up.
We absolutely Enjoyed.
The Pond & Stars at night (Away from busy sounds & metro).
.... Serene setting.
Timely & limited communication with our host (what we wanted)

PERFECT Get-Away

Planning for our next Get-away, HERE.
Beautiful property! Didn't have to communicate with the owners because there was no need. Tons of space, directions were great. Only reason didn't give 5 stars is because there is a musty oder and did not see a single smoke alarm in the home. So being a former emergency worker all i can think is this is a death trap if a fire was to start while we were sleeping. Also do wish there were blinds or curtains on all the other windows because when someone is walking on the property they can see straight into the home.
The house was fine, but there was a very musty smell in the restroom, and in the master bedroom. The wifi was really challenging. The house was roomy and let us have our own space.
The gardens were lovely and the lake was beautiful , we only spent the night as we were on an antiquing adventure. I would like to mention, cell service is almost non-existent at this location. Anita provided us with WiFi so if you use WiFi calling you should be fine , but Verizon 5g is a no go.
If your looking for a relaxing atmosphere off the main road, this is your place. The gardens are beautiful. The stay was accommodating for our needs. I would definitely recommend for a nice get away for any events in neighboring towns. Owners are close and very friendly.
Awesome place to get-away for some peace and quiet
What a beautiful property to stay a few nights. There is a wonderful garden and as a bonus some farm animals to visit with.
My wife and I loved our time a the cottage and will definitely be back. We have been recommending to our family and friends as well.
Shannon and Anita were great. Very kind people. Property was a great retreat. Beautiful environment. Something for everyone- lake, animals, etc. Beds were very comfortable.
In route to our destination, this was a stay for rest. But wished we planned extra time here. Its a beautiful property. & being able to take our little fur babies meant so much, & they & my husband & I enjoyed walking the property. They left lights on for us, it was beautiful.
A beautiful place worth the ride out in country.
will be back
Our place was amazing. Very comfortable. Each room had it's own flair! The kids loved it, my wife and enjoyed ourselves. It was nice to have our own space. We had the pleasure of meeting our hosts in passing. They were very kind and friendly. Even their staff were nice.
It was very cozy inside and beautiful outside even during the winter. The inside had the cutest decor a nice amount of space a place for everything and a place for everybody great for weddings and events or just a get away. Iâll be back soon I know itâll be just as amazing next time.
Beautiful and comfortable. Had trouble with reception which caused issues with finding my checkin info, and hostess went out of her way to help me with checking in. Very clean and comfortable.
Ac had extremely dirty filter. Window and portable Ac units wasnât efficient to keep the unit cool. Furniture was dirty and have pictures. Had to take the glass shelf out of the shower because I didnât want it to fall/break while showering. Only stayed because I checked in late and didnât have any other options. Couldnât sleep so we checked out super early. The outside property was very nice. We didnât know it was off a dirt ride untill we got the directions.
A big group of us came in town for a concert and needed an affordable place to stay that would have us all. I found this property and didn't look into too many specifics because we only needed the place to sleep. When we showed up, we LOVED the property. We could have just booked the place and the property would have been our trip. It is set up for weddings, but even though we weren't there for that we still enjoyed it. We took the little trails through the woods and voyaged on the little raft in the lake. Made friends with the animals, and walked through the gardens. There are so many great photo spots as well. The house itself is larger than I thought, there was plenty of room for us to hangout and sleep, and we baked some cookies in the kitchen. I would definitely stay here again!
It worked great for our group of seven. We wished there couldâve been one more queen bed but all in all there was plenty of space. Does not have central air, wished the air had been turned on a little bit before our stay, but it also was an unusually hot day, over a hundred while we were there, and it took it several hours to cool down. We had a small issue and it was fixed right away. It was dog friendly which was very nice getting to bring the dogs. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed. The towels and bedding were soft to touch and the kids enjoyed all the different textures of the decorative pillows. Even with the small hiccups Iâd recommend this place. The scenery and flowers were gorgeous.
If you are looking for a wonderful place to get away from it all- this is it! I was able to leave the city life and all its noise and bustle far behind. There are spaces to walk, gardens and cooing doves to enjoy. The lodging was very comfortable with lots of outdoor spaces to wander or just sit. I was not there for romance, but this is a very romantic setting. Anita and Shannon are marvelous hosts: very warm and helpful but not intrusive. I stayed here a month with my canine companion and would definitely go again.
The owner of this property is very nice and a gracious host. It is a far drive into the countryside but the scenery is prettyâfields with horses, etc. The property has goats and a miniature pony, which is fun, and a pretty lake with a dock. There is an observation deck and a place to sit outside around a fire. All good, until you realize the âcottageâ is actually a double wide trailer with a stone facade. The decor is wedding themed with pictures of couples like youâd see in picture frames at Walgreens. It wouldnât be bad to get married outside here but this should not be anyoneâs honeymoon suite. The interior has touches like dried flowers and doilies. It looks a lot more modern in the photos. The furniture is not big enough to accommodate more than two people and the TV is a Vizio. The bed in the master bedroom is comfortable enough but the other beds are rock hard. The quality of the beds and linens overall is not good. The ceiling in the master bedroom is low. When you first walk in there is a cloying fragrance that I think is there to cover up the smell of dog. I mean no disrespect to Anita, she is wonderful, but the propertyâŠnot so much. If you are used to a mid-range level Marriott or Hilton hotel, or are discerning at all, save yourself the drive, but honestly itâs probably good enough for some based on the other reviews.
Nice remote place to gather with a group of 4 friends. Designed as a wedding venue locationâwhich would be lovely, if needed. Just the right number of beds for our group. We took a fun day trip into Rocheport, MO. The coffee pot needs to be replaced and we would suggest a heater for the bathroom that has the shower as it was very cold in there. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our 2 night stay and wouldnât hesitate to return.
