My family loved the deck. We took elderly father to the river, his favorite. The cabin is elevated, sitting very near the river. Dad took the stairs slowly, but once on the deck, he enjoyed! Large trees shade the deck, so falling leaves and debris can’t be helped. A broom is handy and useful. We used the gas grill, outdoor dining area and the downstairs fire ring. All very accommodating. The cabin certainly supplies all anyone may need. Beds are nice and very tall. Couches are plush. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

We had a great time staying here, the property and host were excellent.

Nice ,clean, fire pit and firewood nice touch. only complaint cleaning lady came in will we were relaxing, on her defense our vehicle wasn't there, but would have though at least know the schedule and a knock on the door before come on in.

Two miles from downtown Van Buren and The Landing but you can't hear a sound other than the flowing Current River and wildlife. We never heard a peep from our neighbors nor did they hear a peep from us. Beautiful home and Brian was nice enough to text back and forth a little humor. The beds were comfortable. The stars and moon are actually larger and brighter than in St. Louis. The neighbors hounds came and sat with us the last day of our stay. Thank you again Brian!

Nice location , property does need some attention and maintenance. Bathroom tiles are cracked and needs replaced. Hardly any cooking dishes , pot and pans . Glad we had most of it cooked before we got there. Also propane tank for grill was empty, had to go fill it right off the bat. Overall 3 stars . No bashing at all, just needs some attention

Excellent location that is right on the river. Would probably rate it 4-5 five stars but there are bats living in the in the soffits for sure and probably the attic. When we arrived we noticed a significant pile of bat crap by the back slider that goes to the deck. We removed it daily during our stay, but I am sure we were tracking it into the house. We found one dead bat on the deck and another injured on on the deck furniture. Owner says they are endangered species that he is working on eradicating. It’s a premium property at a premium price and I don’t think it’s right to rent it until the bats are removed. Owner should disclose the bat issue to renters in advance, but he doesn’t think it’s a health issue. We would have likely canceled if he would have disclosed it.

Our stay was a "End of Summer/Back to School" Vacation with 5 of our Grandchildren. We always try to go somewhere they can be outside a lot. The Current River in Missouri is a great place for water related activities and we have been on its entire length many times in our lives, but mostly camping as the majority of the upper sections are part of the National Scenic Riverways. This area is one of the first places outside the Riverways area that has Private homes on the River. We greatly enjoyed the stay and the Cabin. Our host and owner, Brian, was very helpful in answering questions relative to the activities we had planned! This home has an extremely large deck that is partially covered that we really enjoyed and the "spring fed" nature of the Current River, as well as mutiple shade trees nearby, helped to keep it very comfortable outside!... we even used the firepit even though it was in the middle 90"s outside to roast hot dogs and "smores" for the kids, without being uncomfortable. There was even a large supply of wood provided by the owner. Even thou there was no picture of the outside of the House on the VRBO website, it is a very nice "Log slab Cabin/Home... with a concrete walkway and steps into the River creating a perfect Eddy to put my small canoe in and take out. The cabin was very neat with a very large couch with multiple reclining backs that the grandkids thought was awesome! If there was anything to suggest to provide, it might be more glasses and plates. While there was enough, it looked like some may have "disappeared" over time, but we usually come prepared with paper plates etc any way so, not a big deal for us. So, in short, we would and hope, to stay there again!

Very clean, well maintained and was easy to find

This place is just beautiful. The location is perfect and you get to float longer and get out at the house. Will book again.

Beautiful property with large deck overlooking the river, firepit, and large front yard for the kids to play. The house is set up well for families with a large kitchen and living space. We vacationed with another family and brought kids ages 10-13. Everyone agreed it was a great set up. Small issue on arrival was immediately resolved by the owner. Great stay- thanks!

The home was better than shown in the pictures. Right on the water with a great view of the river. Provided fire wood for us. Would stay at this location again.

Outside deck entry were not cleaned of leaf litter and tree limbs from several months. There were mice in house needs extermination.

Clean, nice furnishings, spacious, a perfect location. Offers relaxation inside or outside. So close to the water, the sound magical. My 3 year niece’s words, I could live here for ever and ever! I agreed! Exceptional host.

Great time. Will be returning more often

It was an excellent experience! A nice getaway in a low key town. The cabin was very nice, a comfortable and entertaining stay.

Very clean, peaceful, great location, comfy beds, beautiful place & view. Owner quickly responded to messages. We had a wonderful time.

A lovely place right on the Current River. Very modern, spacious, and accommodating. It was lovely sitting on the deck listening to the burble of the river. We were lucky. At night, the stars were beautiful. Us old folks figured out the new-fangled stove, Keurig, and refrigerator. Being recycling fans, however, we don't happen to like all the little plastic Keurig cups that go into landfills. Just a heads-up to future travelers...firewood is available to buy in Van Buren at the Deli/Market . Hubby is 6'5" and had trouble getting into the new-fangled bed. I didn't even try. I slept in one of the bunk beds. We'd love to bring the family here some time. Siri wasn't working, so it was confusing trying to find Brown Rd. It's Sycamore to John to Brown Rd.

We had a great time. The location relative to van buren town center was perfect, directly on the river (beautiful and peaceful) and near state parks. The house is clean, remodeled and cute. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a relaxing weekend by the river. Fire pit, s’mores, bbq’d, went to Big Spring and just enjoyed the scenery! perfect place to stay for family or friends. Thanks Brian and it was nice chatting with you!

The cabin is awesome. Nothing like drinking a warm cup if coffee every morning with the sound of the river a few feet away. We had plenty to do around the river but we took amazing day trips for a family vacation that everyone will remember for ever. Highly recommend it and Brian the owner is great!!!

Great property and great management couldn’t ask for a better host. Awesome view with deck to view, fire pit for s’mores!

Great house for a girls trip or family vacation! The owner was so helpful and made sure everything was perfect for us! Will for be going back!
