Ellen's Log Cabin with Hot Tub ~ Located Minutes From The Upper Meramec River

Ellen's log cabin is 2 and a half story's. It starts with a large covered porch that looks over the valley, a great place for your morning coffee. Walk into the living room with a cathedral ceiling and stairs that lead to the loft. The loft is where the master bedroom is located with an en suite bathroom. Back to the first floor is a full kitchen with a large walk out deck that is actually in the trees. This deck has a large table for outdoor eating and charcoal BBQ grill for grilling. Remember to bring charcoal and lighter fluid. The lower floor has 2 bedrooms, family room (which doubles as another private bedroom) and full bathroom. From the family room you walk out to a private lower deck with a hot tub and seating. A fire pit is in the back yard surrounded by woods, very private. Do not worry about where to buy the wood for your fire, we provide it with your cabin.
We rent Ellen's by the bedrooms needed. The more guest, the more bedrooms set up with linens and towels. You do not share the cabin with strangers. The rate you see here is one of our seasonal rates for a couple. Additional guest is $25. per guest per night. We offer the couple rate so, a couple can come and stay without paying for all the bedrooms.

This cabin is great! Very clean, roomy, has everything you need for a longer stay. My best friend and I had a friend-cation here for several days. The location is perfect, it's close to several parks and springs.It was great to be out all day then come home, rest my weary bones in that (amazing!) hot tub, cook a quick dinner and curl up onthe couch with a movie (they have a roku). The cabin is close to town, but has the feel of being in the middle of nowhere, its the best of both worlds. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the hosts for having such a great property!

The cabin was very clean and well furnished with modern appliances and bathrooms. Peaceful, private and quiet location. Everything worked flawlessly! The hot tub was clean and very relaxing. Exactly what we wanted. Went to Steelville for dinner about 10 minutes away and had a Jam Burger at Rich's Famous Burgers. Owner is very accessible and attentive as well! Would definitely book again! Thanks Cindy!

Amazing weekend getaway

The location of this cabin was amazing. It was clean and tidy. My only complaint was the host only opened one room (the others were locked). It was myself and a friend on a girls weekend. From my understanding, you had to pay an extra fee for other rooms. I asked for 2 rooms but but never heard anything from the host.

Peaceful and relaxing

The cabin getaway was just what we needed. Secluded, quiet, and peaceful, but close enough to town for some antiquing! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and large enough for all 6 adults and one dog. We really enjoyed the large front porch and back deck for morning tea and evening drinks. .

Perfect!

This was a perfect and beautiful cabin for a couple of days and peace and quiet. It would also be perfect for a lot linger because this place is huge with three levels, three bathrooms and two bedrooms. I was literally in awe of how amazing this cabin looked when I first walked inside. The kitchen and living room are massive for a cabin like this. I would absolutely stay here again!
