This unique property consists of 16 park-like acres bordering a quiet section of the James River. It's great to float, fish or walk the shore line, taking in the sights. You can access the water using the private, gravel boat ramp. A disappearing spring in the front yard is home to sun fish and perch that are fun for the most impatient fisherman. They can be caught year round using a float and small baits (great for kids). If not a fisherman, you can feed them with food located in the garage. The spring reappears near the river providing a good place to relax, cool off, and fish. Gatherings: The fees are covered in the rules section below.

It's only a short walk to the James River, where it's easy to launch kayaks, fish, float or swim. The garage has a lot of fun outdoor games. Our favorite things were the BIG covered deck, and the spring next to the house, which flows into a beautiful little creek and was great fun to explore. We can't wait to go back! ##### Susan S.

We made the most of the river access, firepits, yard games and covered outdoor seating on this summer trip. The kitchen had good quality pans, utinsels, and basic spices. Bathrooms and laundry were great. The house is on a somewhat busy farm road and right next to the owner's work shop. It felt private enough but definitely not is a secluded area.

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. ##### Heather T. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vince G.

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! ##### Vince G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael g.
