About this property

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.

I don’t write reviews very often, but this place absolutely deserves one. We had such a wonderful stay. It was even more beautiful than we imagined, and the pictures online honestly don’t do it justice. From drinking our morning coffee while listening to all the different birds to relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring, every moment felt peaceful.It was the perfect place to slow down and recharge, and being just a short drive from the river made it even better. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature, I can’t recommend this place enough. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already hoping we can come back someday.

Spent a weekend with friends for a local festival. Plenty of room for socializing and 4 rooms for sleeping and privacy. Large front porch was awesome place for morning coffee and sunset happy hour. Living room offered additional location for gathering. The half bath was a convenience on main floor. We did not have the opportunity to to enjoy the hot tub or fire pit but looked like another place to gather. Very private and quiet weekend!

I was looking for calm and out of the way that could accommodate my four legged girls that had some normal comforts of home. Bingo. And after a long day of activities the next morning walking up to a hot tub that feels like your in the trees was icing on top. We'll be back.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location, along with its proximity to Cuba, Steelville, and Lindberg Lane (location of the former family farm). We didn't take advantage of the hot tub because it didn't fit into our schedule. The TV and the WIFi worked fine. The only downside was that we didn't find the upstairs (loft?) bed very comfortable because the mattress tended to sag in the middle, especially on the first night. It also would have been helpful to know that body soap and shampoo would not be available in the showers. One of our party especially appreciated and took advantage of the availability of the washer-drier in the basement.

Host was attentive as needed and amenities were great! It was wonderful that wood was supplied, however, it would have been nice if it was closer to the fire pit. Cabin was very clean and comfy and cozy as well as spacious enough for 6 ladies to enjoy a great time.

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!

Beautiful cabin on the edge of thick woods. Packed with everything you need, this was a wonderful getaway for the wife and I. We went on a nice long ruck, and ended with a good soak.
