About this house rental
This newly remodeled cabin hosts an open floor plan with huge windows overlooking the pasture, gardens, and pecan grove. A new modern eclectic kitchen with vintage sink and butcher block counters opens to the main living area capable of supporting festive getaways with friends and family. Both bedrooms feature new queen beds with high quality linens for a comfortable rest. Newly remodeled bathroom features a bath/shower combo to accommodate guests needs plus luxurious towels for added comfort. Open loft upstairs off second bedroom allows for extra sleeping arrangements, a place to do yoga, play music or just relax with a book. Outside there is a wrap around deck perfect for grilling, watching the sunrise and stars, wildlife viewing, and all the happenings going on in the gardens. There are hiking trails through the woods, a creek to explore, a fishing pond and during the late winter months maple sugaring adventures to enjoy. We have many projects (and dreams) in the works at Sweet Hills Farm but currently the focus is on an extensive garden project and glade restoration.

It was an excellent choice and a great discovery! The hosts were wonderful - very responsive and easy to deal with. The directions were spot on...even with trying to find our way at 230am...lol
The cabin was perfect for the 4 of us and could have easily held more people! It was squeaky clean and the water pressure was amazing!!! (The beds wer comfortable also.)
I would definitely stay again - in fact, its certain since my boys decided on MU!

Our family enjoyed the peaceful environment and nature filled scenery during our stay. The property was clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. Thank you for sharing with us!

We had a great time. The house is very relaxing and peaceful. I loved all of the decor. There were trails we could walk on. We really just had a chance to soak up nature. The house was located off the main road it felt like you were a 100 miles from town, but in reality stores were only maybe 10-15 minutes away at the most. It was the perfect place to reconnect with my adult children for a Mother’s Day weekend. The host Amy was very accommodating and very easy to contact if we needed anything. I would for sure rent this property again.

You may only be 10 minutes from the CoMO Mall, but this is backwoods. A covered bridge, a gravel mega hill, slowing down for escaped chickens. It is WONDERFUL!!
House has great heat, a completely workable kitchen and a real bathroom. All kinda surprising for a cabin in the woods.

We came for family weekend at Mizzou. This was a great option and we enjoyed getting out of town. The house is very cozy and beds comfortable. Loved the quiet of the location to relax. Easy to get to from town.

Amy and Mike have created a sweet slice of heaven. Our experience at Sweet Hills Farm was filled with ease, attentive communication, and beautiful surroundings. In between family get-togethers and hangouts with old friends, my family and I spent time in the SHF guesthouse making dinners, playing games, exploring the property’s trails, and studying the birds, bugs, and butterflies we encountered. The home was fresh and clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all of our basic home comforts. This home is the perfect place to unplug from your usual routines, read a good book, slow down, settle in, and enjoy the view.

Very Quant
We had a wonderful time relaxing, talking, eating, playing games and doing crafts. It was just as expected. The coffee pot shut off a few times before finishing so we just turned it back on. I may have just done it wrong. The only trouble we had really was with the couch. It was difficult to get up from. We had an elderly one and a heavy lady that really struggled. I didn’t realize we. Resend to bring chairs to sit on the front porch but I should have thought of that. These are things we just dealt with because we had such a good time. I would love to go in the winter when there was snow!

Beautiful country setting. Six family members stayed there. It would be a wonderful setting for a personal retreat. Quite remote. Driveway is very long. Interesting well tended property with chickens, sugar barn(for making maple syrup) and gardens. Was the perfect place for my family, including my parents who are in their 90's.

If you’re looking for a little getaway (but not too far away!), there’s a darling little cottage right next to a beautiful pecan grove, just 15 minutes north of Columbia. Plenty of hiking, a visit to a great farmer’s market (that furnished our Saturday night dinner), fire pit, Shakespeare’s takeout, Sequence, wine/charcuterie, reading, naps… a nice way to kick off the summer. We will be to back for the changing leaves in the fall!
Amy was very responsive and accommodating, the house was well-appointed and clean- it was exactly what we were looking for!
One quick, insignificant note- the house description noted that a French press was available, but it’s no longer in the house. We brewed coffee and were just fine; just wanted anybody who might be French press coffee drinkers like us to know to bring your own press!

Quiet Country Location
Great little place away from the city. Very clean, plenty of space, very quiet. A small taste of farm life still within 15 minutes of all the amenities Columbia has to offer.

The property was fantastic! Clean, cozy, and Amy was ultra responsive!
I was a bit concerned with a loft lay out, but with a bedroom upstairs, downstairs, and a shared sleeping space - it was great!
Highly recommend and definitely will be booking again for future tournaments at MU.

The house is in a lovely location with beautiful views and walks — including a great front porch for star gazing at night or listening to the owls. The house has a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a nice spacious living room. It is easy to be comfortable and to enjoy your stay. Check-in and out were easy.

Quiet cabin nestled north of Columbia
If need to unplug, this quiet cabin nestled in the country north of Columbia will be a good choice. More clarity is needed in the actual location since it is surrounded by pasture and requires traveling on gravel to rock roads in order to arrive to the home. The inside of the home is fairly accurate to the photos; but, the grounds and exterior have not been kept up. We did have a great night sleep as incredibly quiet and great area to unplug.

Perfect spot!
I was happy we arrived just before dark! The directions were spot on and helped immensely.
This is a beautiful, serene spot. The fall colors were spectacular. We had no issues during our stay and the owner was a joy to work with.
Highly recommend!

We ended up having to cut our visit short for personal reasons but the one evening we stayed was lovely. Clean cabin and comfortable beds - amazing view out the windows.

This place was exactly what we were looking for. A nice private place close to town. We stayed 5 nights and 6 days. Wildlife was everywhere, fire pit, porches on both sides of the house to sit and enjoy. We spoke with one of the owners and another family member and they were great. If you're looking for a private getaway in the area, this is it

The whole family enjoyed the remote feel of the property despite being only a few minutes from town. We made good use of the Columbia Farmer's Market, but otherwise were content to stay put for 3 days. The kitchen is well appointed and even prettier than the pictures. The owners were great at anticipating need and easy to reach if necessary. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed an absolutely perfect stay at the Sweet Hills Farm Guesthouse during my daughter's Mizzou graduation weekend! It's located in a picturesque rural setting with mature forests, hiking trails, wildlife, and a pecan grove... yet just minutes to Mizzou campus and downtown CoMo. (We thought it was the best of both worlds!) The guesthouse is beautifully outfitted with a great kitchen, updated bath, comfy beds and linens, and a fantastic open layout that gave our family room to gather, play cards, cook and relax. Great wrap-around deck, firepit and Weber charcoal grill too! Our host Amy was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. We look forward to returning for a fall football weekend, and recommend the Sweet Hills Farm Guesthouse 110% and without hesitation!
