Private River Frontage!!! Beautiful Cabin with Amazing views! Available now!!

The Walker Ford Cabin sits on two acres right on the banks of the upper Meramec River. Enjoy panoramic views of the river and the bottom hay fields. Bring chairs and sit next to the river, take a swim, dip a worm or just watch the turtles sun on the logs. Relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine watching for the occasional bald Eagle to soar up the river. The cabin has been newly renovated and is ready for guests. There is a beautiful rock fireplace, kitchenette, a queen size bed, queen pull out sofa and a dining table in the main cabin. The back sitting area has beautiful river views along with a twin sleeper sofa. The only thing you need when you come to our cabin is food, charcoal (if needed) and toiletries. The kitchen is fully stocked with what you may need to cook a meal and the linens and towels are also provided. There are several wineries and a canoe/raft outfitter within a mile away or bring your own canoe or kayak and float from our local access Birds Nest right down to your cabin. Shuttle service available...$35 local access. Inquire for more details. There is a BBQ grill and washers game for your use.
If you are wanting to add more guests to your party we have options. There is tent camping available and a full electric rv hookup with water for any family member or friends wanting to stay....message for details.

Cabin on the river

Enjoyed the beautiful fireplace & stone work of the cabin! Very quiet & private at the end of the road. We loved going to Elephant Rock State Park & Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park & Onondaga Cave! Would’ve loved the kayak run but weather did not cooperate. Beautiful treed area!! Susan was prompt in responding!

Loved it!

This was our second stay at this cabin. We loved it so much last year that we decided to take the 1000-mile drive to stay here again this summer. The cabin was perfect for our needs--rustic but with all the creature comforts, pet-friendly but clean and meticulously maintained, with a great yard and easy river access, secluded but close to town. Our dog absolutely loved swimming in the river! After two weeks at virtually any vacation rental, we're usually bouncing off the walls to get back home. Not this time. We would have gladly stayed longer, and we'd certainly love to rent this property again. It was that good. And the host certainly made us feel welcome with her great communication whenever we had any questions.

Wonderful Well Appointed Weekend Getaway!

The cabin was wonderful. It had everything we needed for our weekend. The location is the perfect amount of secluded, but still near enough the town to make it a quick drive to get food or supplies. Being right on the river is great and the view is perfect!

Quiet, Calming Getaway!

The cabin is tucked away on a private drive with a lot of open space fronting the river. It's incredibly peaceful and the front room is perfect to sit and sip coffee while watching the river. We will be back!
