Look no further, you will not be disappointed. Grew up visiting the area as a child. Our relatives were born here as far back as the early 1800's. Fought in WW1 which I was able to visit the McConnell Cemetary around the corner and check out my mothers ancestors buried there. We fished on the river and relaxed in the evening with the woodburning stoves. Close to Bass Pro Shop and Airport. I'm in the hospitality industry, so cleanliness is at the forefront of decision making. A+++++ 5 stars and Exceptional. We smoked steaks on the Treager and relaxed. We had a great time! 1st time booking Vrbo and Wow way to set the standards for them.

We had a great time! The house and property was beautiful and perfect for our family get away! Chuck was super helpful and made the entire process so easy! 10/10 will recommend and return for another stay!!

This place is amazing and made for a fantastic vacation! The home is comfortable, well-equipped with essentials and extras, and extremely clean. The home is much more spacious than it looks in the pictures. Our 2 young adult kids loved the upstairs tv/game room as a place to hang out. Many fun outdoor activities available. Loved kayaking, swimming and fishing in the river, especially loved the cool springs. Also loved the big beautiful deck although it was a little too hot to fully enjoy since we were there in August. Hope to return again in cooler weather to enjoy it more. The location is ideal as it’s only 20 min drive or less to great places like Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, Springfield botanical gardens, Fantastic Caverns, Wonders of Wildlife Aquarium and Museum (highly recommend), Bass Pro Shop and an hour or less to Top of the Rock and Branson. Many things to do in the area or but also plenty to do on the property if you just want to stay put. The owner Chuck was very responsive to any questions and requests we had. We can’t say enough good things about Chuck and his place and hope to return in the future!

We were unfamiliar with Springfield, and didn’t know what neighborhood to stay in. We got a gem when we reserved Rio James. Our family enjoyed exploring Wonders of Wildlife/Bass Pro (15 min), Fantastic Cavers (25 min) and Lambert’s Cafe (15-20 min), but the highlight of the trip was getting to come home to fish and canoe on the James River. The upstairs living room had a pull-out sofa and plenty of room for a couple extra air mattresses. Big decks, a fire pit and nice grills made this a great location to relax when not exploring Springfield. Highly recommend!

Very comfortable. We equipped kitchen. Plenty of room. Beautiful property.

Ideal place to spend time on the James River. Accommodations are great. This is a special place.

Wonderful place to stay I would recommend it.

This place is a piece of heaven! You will feel so relaxed with the beauty and have so much fun with all the yard games! We had my daughter's small graduation celebration here and it was perfect! Thank you Chuck!

Everything you could possibly want in a weekend trip! House was perfect. River was perfect. I would definitely do it again.

This was our second time staying at this property and we will definitely be back again. We stayed here for a national basketball tournament and the house was perfect for our two families. The boys had plenty of space to explore and the house was much larger than it appears in pictures. Chuck is a great host, so helpful! We can't wait to book again for next year!

We so enjoyed staying here we returned a second time :) Its such a great property. Our only issue was with the number of guests. Though the property advertises that the house sleeps 10, but we were charged extra for every person when we surpassed 6 guests. This is confusing and I hope the owner will change his listing to avoid for others the frustration we encountered. Other than this, we have no complaints! The kitchen is stocked very well, there's plenty of extra linens and extras in general (soap, laundry soap, basic cooking condiments, yard games, etc). Its a great house for family gatherings of all ages. Despite the small kerfuffle regarding the listing, we were still very pleased!! We absolutely love it here.

Pellet heaters were super cozy for the family these chilly fall days and night. Love walking the property and checking out the river. Great grilling and bonfires! Great stay!

This property has become one of our favorite VRBO stays! Beautiful home, super clean, nice touches throughout (like slippers and bottle water) and communication with owner was easy and friendly. We will be back!

Great location! Tons of outdoor activities on the property. Fishing, kayaking, canoe, grill and smoker, fire pits by home and by river. Awesome experience!

We love this beautiful house and property so much, we came back again a second time! The river access is phenomenal. We spend our days fishing, kayaking and swimming. We had a fantastic time with our family!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed all that this VRBO has to offer…a cozy place to hang out, a picturesque view and access to the James River, fishing, kayaking and the opportunity to enjoy uninterrupted time with family. We were also close to many great attractions to fill our days as this VRBO is close to Springfield and Branson. Thank you, Chuck!

We had the most wonderful family vacation at this amazing property…no one wanted to leave at the end of our 10 days! The house comfortably fit all 9 of us, and was extremely well-kept, well stocked and cozy! We absolutely loved the outdoor experience, fishing most days, taking out the kayaks and canoes, exploring and swimming! We are definitely going to plan our next Missouri vacation at Blue Springs! And thank you Chuck for always being so responsive to questions before and during our stay!

Totally enjoyed our stay! House is beautifully decorated with lots of room. Great sitting places outside to enjoy your morning coffee. Stream is great for the hot days, river was beautiful to fish, swim, and kayak on. Chuck is a very nice host and has set the place up for the perfect vacation where memories are made!

Very well maintained and the host is very helpful

The propert photos do not do this property justice!!! It's close to activities, food and some great breweries towards Springfield or you can go towards Branson (under an hour drive) for some fun. The outdoor areas are great for winding down. Having kayaks available was nice. I can't say enough good things about this property and the owners were amazing! They provide you with little things that just help make your stay even better.

Great stay, great host. Very clean. Lots of games for kids. Have single and double kayak, canoes, life jackets and fishing poles. Several fire rings with wood available and they have roasting sticks for s'mores hotdogs which our kid loved! Just note that the river isn't visible from the back porch if that is important to you. The kayaks are in the garage and if you need to you can ask the host to transport, which they were nice enough to do for us and left them with a lock by the river during our stay. Short walk/drive on the propert. Very calm area in the river and my family had a great time there. Floors are polished concrete, just to be aware if you have littles. Beds are very comfy but somewhat high. Again just to be aware if you have littles.

Grandkids said they would like to go back to this house and stay again. Beautiful spot and house was very clean .

We had a great stay at this home. Pictures do not do the home justice! Our master bed was very comfortable (very pleasant surprise as husband usually struggles when traveling). House was easy to find and very convenient to dining, WalMart, etc. Kitchen was very well stocked and entire house was clean and had everything we needed. The property is amazing. We enjoyed walking along and just listening to the river and springs. We did day trips across Missouri for the week and this was a great place to rest in between.

Love this place. Chuck and I were in constant communication leading up to our visit because of the flooding in the area. Chuck was able to keep the house dry and we were able to stay! The house is well maintained and always very clean. We love this place as well because there are multiple places to sit and visit. Kids can go upstairs and hang out while adults are downstairs. The property is beautiful as well!

I cannot say enough about this beautiful property, and it is way more than just a “house” to rent! With the streams, beautiful pasture, river access, canoes and yard games, ample space… You get so much more! This house was superbly clean. Incredibly stocked, plenty of towels and toiletry items, paper towels, foil, seasonings. You name it. We will definitely stay here again when visiting family in Clever.

We loved this property. We travel A LOT and have stayed at numerous properties. This house was one of the cleanest we've ever stayed at. So nice! You have to be sure to walk the perimeter of the property. Its too lovely to miss. Chuck was a very responsive communicator. We would stay here again and again.
