Scott and Lisa were great hosts. They were very responsive and I enjoyed talking with each of them while we were there. We were concerned about driving their in our Tesla but they have a couple of RV Hookups right at the cabin that allowed us to quickly charge (about 30 miles of range for each hour), which gave us peace of mind and got us back on the road with no issues. Thank you guys.

Personal retreat

Despite the constant, drenching rain, I enjoyed my quiet solitude retreat. The picture made me think it was more isolated than it is (there are other cabins and the trail-riding stables right across the road), but given the weather and time of year, I pretty much had the place to myself. The cabin itself is tiny, but very clean and well supplied. The hosts are very friendly and responsive and I would highly recommend if you’re in the area. The dirt road in May be a little intimidating for a small car, but was no problem for my Outback, despite the rainy conditions and minor rain runoff damage.

Property was the cleanest the interior design and decor were the best I have ever stayed at in the Eminence area. Scott and Lisa were great hosts and the additional amenity's of the new Whisky River Bar along with food from Shortys Rolling Grill not to mention horseback riding and horse stalls for your own really make this a one stop destination. We will back.

Short River Run

We enjoyed our adventure in the Missouri Ozarks so much! So many waterways to see and saw the Wild Horses twice and I got to check that off my bucket list! The property was clean and comfortable and the hosts showed their hospitality, they are very friendly and accommodating! We hope to come back with our horses sometime in Fall. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!

Close to Town Getaway!

If you are looking to stay in a cute little cabin, this is the one! The owners are the best and will help in any way. Ask about the wild horses, they are just a short drive from the cabin. I wish we could have stayed longer, having the ability to wash clothes and cook at home, this was a awesome get away from the concrete jungle we call home. There are a bunch of local canoe/kayak/tub rentals minutes from the cabin as well as cool local eating establishments. You will be happy as soon as you check in. The pictures are very accurate and you will enjoy the decor. Can't wait to go back and drive back roads with our Jeeps and see more wild horses with their babies.
