Good but could be so much better!

The property was very well-stocked but some of the toiletries and supplies could use updating (soap was crumbly, air freshener was from 2004). There were lots of items leftover from previous stays in the fridge and freezer which was unappetizing. We had some wildlife “fun” in the house with lots of bugs, wasps, and even a poor frog who needed rescuing which led us to believe no one had really freshened things up before our arrival. The floors were also pretty dirty. The gravel road in was very rough in places accessing the property-we had a four wheel drive truck and struggled at points to keep going. The lake out back was beautiful and we enjoyed it thoroughly! However, large amounts of wasp nests all along the back porch made us uneasy to spend any time out there. Overall, the house had great charm but the cleanliness was lacking. We understand we were in the woods and a rural setting, but more care to prepare for our arrival would have been much appreciated. A welcome basket was very nice but spiders in the showers were not.

Very cool, beautiful property

This is a beautiful property, located in a beautiful part of Missouri. It looks like a very old farmhouse, yet the inside is modern. The lake is great and the family caught some fish while we were bbq'ing. Just know that it is a little far away from certain services (Grocery is about 15 miles away). Just come with your groceries and you will love it.

Exactly what we wanted

We really enjoyed staying at your property. Everything was either as described or better- including a lovely welcome basket *Thank you!!* - While we were there, we discussed renting again for another getaway possibly next year. The location was just right, not too far from civilization but far enough where everything was very private. I could sit on the back porch ALL DAY and just enjoy the views. Thank you again, and we hope to stay again in the future!
