Bell Road Retreat

Welcome to the Bell Road Retreat, Columbia’s quietest getaway!
Located just 20 minutes north of downtown Columbia, the retreat is on a pastoral 3 mile gravel road. A fully equipped kitchen with a beautiful sunroom overlooking a wooded valley allows for relaxed meals. Bring your binoculars for birding, bike for exploring the area, or walk the quiet drive looking for wildflowers and deer. Check our Guide Book for local Food/Fun.
Relax and enjoy beautiful rural Missouri!

Would Visit Again
The home is exactly as listed and a perfect spot for our family to stay while we were in town visiting our Mizzou student and attending a football game. I’d love to visit again for a full weekend stay to relax and enjoy a peaceful, quiet retreat away from home.

Great place just outside Columbia.
We stayed during a deer hunting trip. This place was located far enough outside Columbia proper that we never felt like we left the woods even after hunting. I would definitely book again if we choose to come hunt this area again.

LSU game against Mizzou
A bit challenging to find, but beautiful. The location is great, the facilities were very nice, easy to use. Lots of wildlife (deer and turkeys). Very comfortable and easy to use. I would definitely stay there again.
