Spend your days on the private gravel bar and your evening grilling burgers on the screened porch. Bring your own tubes, kayaks or rafts and float right up to the house. No other place like this in VanBuren mo. House is located 2 miles down stream from the HWY 60 bridge and has two acres of manicured grass yard and comes with grill and outdoor fire pit and down stairs restroom. House has three beds.. but if you bring air mattress, we ask you limit capacity to ten people.
The photos on VRBp looked great, very small bedrooms and truly very basic furniture but showed a huge screened in porch that overlooked the river. When we got there the first thing we noticed was three of the floor to ceiling screens had huge rips in them (storm had gone through several weeks before apparently). The porch couches and loungers were so dirty (black marks and dirt, dust) that we weren't comfortable sitting on them. Inside there were bugs on the floor and very sparse kitchen utensils. The bedding was very worn and towels were old and faded. One roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. There was a grill on the patio below but had so much grease on the bottom (and no grill utensils to be found) that flames shot seven feet in the air when grill lit. Finally the owner is not very responsive to emails or texts. We tried numerous times to log in to wifi using instructions only to figure out that the wifi we were told to use was incorrect (we tried all the ones that popped up and eventually found one that worked). Not sure if the owner ever responded to my daughters text regarding that. All in all, Current river is a beautiful river but for 800 a night, well my rating tells you what we thought.
The location of this house and the wonderful porch and river access are fantastic. Our kids loved independently roaming the gravel bar. We brought floats and floated from Van Buren to the house twice. So much fun, even for the 8 yr old! 2 hrs - mostly shallow with minor rapids.If you hope to share cooked meals, you will find the very small kitchen with its few cabinets and minimal counter space frustrating. However, the outdoor grill was super and all the kitchen implements we needed were provided.The poor quality of the bedding was surprising at this price point, but overall, what we needed was there and we had a great time.
Clean cabin with your own private access to the river. The screened in deck was amazing. The gnats are terrible so bring plenty of bug spray. That's why the deck is amazing. It's was a quiet peaceful weekend. We also got to see 3 bald eagles all weekend.
We really enjoyed the view and the access to water. The kids were able to play and we were able to sit and watch them. The house was nice but the kitchen is small and doesnât have a lot of utensils to use. The bed were not made when we arrived but there were sheets piled on the beds. There also were not a lot of towels. We did find them in the dryer when we went to wash the towels that we had used. I just figured the beds would be made and the towels would be put away when we had gotten there since we pay a cleaning fee. Other than these things the house was nice and we enjoyed our stay.
Stayed 3 nights with friends to kayak Current River. Easy access to the private sandbar from the house. Very short walk. Beautiful views of the river from the screened in porch. House was clean and had everything we needed. Just a few minutes drive to town and the Landing. Will definitely stay again!
Nice view, but despite assurances that the property was not shared with other guests, there were people coming and going during the day and night , including visitors and even people camped out in a camper in the yardâŠ.no privacy
We had a great time. However there were a few things to be addressed. We didnât have enough tp stocked for 5 people for 5 days, so we had to contact the manager. Only 4 of the lights on the huge deck worked and they never got those fixed. The floors were in need of mopping and a thorough cleaning underneath the couches. There was no can opener! We swept the deck after the manager gave us the code to the supply closet. Overall, we loved the deck space and the privacy.
This property was perfect for our annual girls trip. The location was great to spend time right on the river but still conveniently located so we could go into town for dinner.
Rental was clean inside, but the deck area needs attention. There was a thick layer of pollen on all the furniture, and a dead bird in the center of the floor. It was filthy. It appeared as if the deck hadn't had attention or cleaning for a long time. It definitely was not prepared fir the rental.
My family group of five adults enjoyed our two nights here. The view and access to the Current was amazing. There are trees and vegetation between the house and river that allow for so many wonderful opportunities for bird watching right from the back screened in porch. We saw a bald eagle both mornings hunting just across the river. Other birds we saw were blue heron, green heron, cedar waxwings, hummingbirds, tons of warblers, red winged blackbirds, pileated woodpeckers, and a whippoorwill at dusk. We cooked breakfast and dinner both days and there was adequate cookware and tableware. The two secondary bedrooms are very small but the beds were comfortable, just not space for anything else. They do both have closets. The gas grill under the house worked well for cooking our meat. Overall it was a great experience.
Stayed at the property for the Eclipse and had a fantastic view. Was as advertised and outside of a few minor maintenance things was a fantastic stay and we were very pleased!
