Hilltop River Cottage - ALL NEW KITCHEN

Note: This cottage was recently given complete updates throughout. Fresh paint, new carpet in the bedroom, and total kitchen makeover with all brand new appliances!!
Nestled on a hillside above our Trailside Cottage, this cottage offers spectacular views of the river, and is more private being nestled at the top of the hill along a treeline. The oversized screened in porch provides views of the bluffs and the river. The kingsized bed is loaded with pillows and Tommy Bahama bedding for an elegant and restful night's sleep. The oversized chairs and the adjustable smart tv are perfect for settling in for a good movie.

The cottage's proximity to the river, and the historic Katie trail are perfect for those who want to get away from it all and enjoy bicycling or hiking or fishing along the Missouri River. Just a 15 minute walk from Cooper's Landing, where there is a campground, food trucks and live music during the spring, summer and fall seasons, you can enjoy a night out with beautiful sunset views of the river.

Our favorite time of year at the river is winter. There are fewer people, making winter hikes along the trail filled with wildlife and quiet solitude. Just a few minutes south along the trail from our cottage is an historic marker of a campsite for Lewis and Clark as they went up the Missouri in the 1800's.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a RURAL area. You will see wildlife - including deer, fox, coyotes, ground hogs, hawks, opossums, raccoons and the occasional armadillo. You will also encounter neighborhood dogs. There is no leash law in the county. All the local dogs are very friendly. Remi is a black lab who lives across the street. He loves to visit new people in the cottage, and will most likely bring a stick, turn three times, sit and bark until you throw the stick. If you do not want him around, go inside for 15-20 minutes and he will run off to the next shiny new thing. Please do not call his owner. Remi will return home after making his rounds. While the county is off leash - the Katy Trail requires leashes as it is a state park, and there are runners, biker riders, and other dogs will likely be on the trail as well.

Perfect Space for a Weekend Getaway
The cottage was very cozy, welcoming and the perfect amount of space for our weekend in Columbia. The location was more in the country but an easy drive from downtown. We were pleasantly surprised with the Shakespeare’s pizza and bottle of wine left for us. Our host was also very attentive and did a great job of checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again when visiting our son at Mizzou.

If you’re thinking about staying at this place….DO IT!
I can not say enough good things about this property and it’s host. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing scenery and environment, quiet and peaceful area, LOTS to do. Town is just a short, scenic 15 minute drive from this property. Immediate, detailed and wonderful communication with the host. This place is stocked with EVERYTHING you need. It even had beer and a frozen pizza for us. Recommend 10 out of 10.

Great Visit
The location and view were great. Our daughter attends Mizzou and we wanted to bring our dog for a visit. This was a great place, so close to Columbia yet it felt far away for us to gather and spend time together. Loved the Hy-Vee store, had an awesome dinner, in the beautiful, remodeled kitchen. Although the weather was not the best, we had a great time inside with all the games. The host made it feel like home and made us feel special with all the extra amenities provided. We look forward to staying there again.

Amazing Place!
This place exceeded our expectations. It is a great place to stay if you love being on the Katy Trail. It’s located right across the road from this lovely place. Although we were out of season for the local nightlife(coopers landing), we still found entertainment in nearby Columbia. We plan on coming back to stay during peak season. The amenities were perfect for a short and long term stay. It’s definitely a home away from home!

Peaceful retreat
Thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend at this cozy yet amenity filled home. Loved being nestled in beautiful surroundings close to numerous parks and trails. The property manager was very accomodating, helpful, and provided pleasant surprises at every turn, from fire starters and s'mores to pizza and coffee. Already thinking about when to come back!!
