    Pictures are exactly what you get. However the cleaning is horrible. Dirty wash clothes, urine stained toilets. We found soiled men’s underwear blatantly in the middle of the restroom floor. Rat pellets in the kitchen drawers. Dust everywhere! Owners didn’t respond to any of our complaints. Vrbo should take this down until host can show updates and cleaning.

    Good location. Exactly what we needed to stay and hunt in the area. There were 11 guys and 3 girls to hunt for 10 days. Plenty of space and beds to accommodate. We had a few issues that the host resolved very quickly. The kitchen could use a few more pots and pans and a good cleaning in the drawers this time of year. Overall we were very happy with the accessibility and space. We would return.

    Property is well worth the money we paid. Family friendly Probably the only thing I could say was that there wasn’t a trash can in the kitchen

  • Interesting, rustic space. Good for Mizzou football games & big groups!

    3/5

    Stayed here with 6 people for a Mizzou football game. Was definitely a different retro-feeling space, eclectic with the attached buildings but worked for what we needed it to. Had a little communication mishap with the cleaning person and our early arrival, but the host Tim was easy to & quick to communicate. Distance didn't feel far from Mizzou where we drove mostly, located very close off the highway. We enjoyed going to Artichoke Annie's during our stay. Outdated and some bedrooms/bathrooms need some replacements/maintenance but like I said, worked with what we needed for a football weekend with a bigger group.
