Relax with family and friends at this peaceful guest house. Cities near by are Rolla and Fort Leonard Wood at only a 15-20 min drive. Montauk State Park and Lane Springs are within minutes for trout fishing. United States forest service is within 5 minutes for government land hunting.
We stayed here while attending Family Day and Graduation for our daughter at Fort Leonard Wood. Drive was a little further than expected, but it was a beautiful trip and not outside of reasonable. It was a very quiet neighborhood and we much appreciated not being in the middle of a city.
It is so quiet here! Plenty of rooms. Beds are nice and big. Kitchen is very big with two large bathrooms. I like to cook, so the aforementioned kitchen size was important.
If you are looking for a quiet place, overlooking some fields as you drive down, checking out the cows and horses, and big ole trees to get some work done or no work done, this is IT. Host is very responsive and helped us with many questions of nearby stuff. It was definitely home away from home. No fuss.
Great Place to Stay - Army Graduation from Basic Training
We loved this property and the hosts were amazing. It's a little quirky (the layout is on the odd side), but it comfortably slept five of us and provided the space we needed.
I wanted to leave a few bits of information for those utilizing this property for seeing their loved ones graduate from Army Basic Training.
First of all, if you're making your reservations at the beginning of your loved one's basic training, before knowing exact graduation dates, family day takes place on the Wednesday of graduation week and graduation takes place on Thursday. You'll want to plan on being there on Tuesday night as family day starts at 10:00 am and they want families to be at the gate around 8:00 am.
As of this writing (April 2024), the East Gate is open from about 5:00 am - 8:30 am. That means if you plan on arriving at the gate after 8:30, you'll need to go to the main entrance (the north gate), which is about a 35 minute drive from the property.
You can take your soldier to the property on family day as it is within 50 miles of base.
Graduation takes place at the parade grounds (which is about 35 minutes from the property if you're using the East Gate) at 10:00 am and then you'll have your soldier again for the day. Consequently, I would plan on leaving on Friday.
I hope this helps. Enjoy your stay!
This rural property was perfect for our trip! We went down for a wedding and enjoyed this place. Cool decorations, and a lot of free space. My friends describe it as a very nice hunting cabin type feel.
The floors in this house are so uneven the bed was down hill in the extra queen bed room, very small didnât sleep but 6 maybe 7 we had to blow up a mattress, it says sleeps 9 but thereâs no way,very old home made to look newer but it needs work still. Bad floors
