'For Old Time's Sake' Log Cabin

  • SLEEPS 7 with two bedrooms and one bathroom- Our authentic log cabin was built in the early 1930's and has been newly restored. It is situated on nearly 300 peaceful acres along the Meramec River and has river frontage for you to enjoy. We have easy river access and a small gravel bar. Float trips by canoe or raft may be available by reservation for an additional fee. Bedroom #1 has a queen size bed, antique dresser, and a fireplace. The bunkroom has one full bed, one twin bed, and a set of bunk beds. The back porch dining hall seats 12 people and has plenty of room for games and activities (we have several to choose from or bring your own).

Relax away from the stress in our quiet getaway and make many new memories. This place is the perfect place to get away from it all and 'rough it' while still enjoying the modern conveniences of home!

Short getaway

We didn’t get to stay long but we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. It rained but there was so much to do in the cabin it was great! The river access is so nice. Just a half mile from the cabin in the truck. You take all you need and have it all with you! The inside was so nice and rustic. Had a great big tub/shower and comfy bed!

Adorable and rustic

It was a cute little cabin. We enjoyed playing games and skipping rocks. It was so cute! The only downfall was the driveway. We would stay again if we visit our son at college.

Couples Getaway!

Such a relaxing weekend! Four of us (2 couples) stayed the weekend and just relaxed and had a wonderful time. We spent a day down at the river, and the rest of the time we hung out in the cabin or around the fire. What a great way to unplug! Kitchen was well equipped. Owners very responsive! Highly recommend!!

Relaxing weekend

We had an amazing weekend despite the rain. The cabin was perfect to just sit and relax. The property afforded us total privacy with only the pleasing sounds of nature. We were visited by a buck on the first morning and watched a couple of fawn prancing near the banks of the Meramac. We even caught a couple different varieties of fish that we released since they were too small. We can’t wait to book this cabin again! Thank you Elaine fir being an awesome host.

Treasure on the farm

A quick trip from the city. We had a memorable time at this quaint cabin. The river was a refreshing treat, just a short walk down the farm's road. So you can bring you kayak and float the Meramac or rent a boat near by. My dogs ran and played until they dropped. Games are provided in a wonderful sunroom. A complimentary bag of ingredients for Smores was a treat. We definitely will be back and suggest friends to book also.

Charming cabin, gorgeous backdrop, kind people

My husband, our two adult children, and our chocolate lab stayed for four nights. The minute we walked in, we knew it’d be the perfect retreat. It’s very cozy and you can tell how much effort the owners have put into preserving this piece of their family’s heritage. The cabin is clean and the bedding is comfortable. We loved walking to the river every day, birdwatching (owls, pileated woodpeckers, American bluebirds, northern flickers), playing giant jenga on the porch, roasting marshmallows, and playing horseshoes. The owners are so kind and genuine, and went above and beyond to create a memorable experience for our family. There’s plenty to do in the area. We enjoyed Peaceful Bend Winery (also such nice people), Meramac Caverns, Lange General Store, and Meramac Springs Park. We will be back!

For old times sake

We fell in love with the cabin. It was charming and felt like home right away. My boyfriend and i went fishing at the nearby trout park in the a.m. started raining so we went back to the cabin. Watched netflix til the sun came out. Then enjoyed the secluded gravel bar. Put out chairs in the water, soaking up the sun and watched a pair of eagles and a wood duck. I am thankful to be able to bring my border collie. She did not want to leave when the time came. I planned the 2 night stay for my boyfriends birthday. Its about an hour and half from his farm. A nice,close getaway for a few days. And felt like a step back to simpler times. We just got home and discussed when we may try to book a stay in the cabin for old times sake again.

Beautiful, isolated and accommodating

We really enjoyed our fall trip there. The cabin was one of the best parts of the trip. We went to see the cave and hike but the cabin was truly a lovely experience by itself. The hosts were very accommodating when we needed wood or Wi-Fi. (My phone was on the brink).

Due to weather, we spent most of our time at the cabin. Which was a great time. Games were available and we enjoyed smores and the fire pit. All around nice experience. Would highly recommend it to others to stay there.

Love the cabin and the fact you have no neighbors well except the cows. So pretty and trail to river was fun for the bunch of us. Can't wait to return when we have warmer weather so we can float the river. Owners are wonderful to work with and very helpful. A+++

Great place to stay

My family had a wonderful time. The cabin was wonderful. A variety of movies to watch, the kids loved the Tic Tac Toe & Checkers games. The boys loved exploring the outdoors. River access was very close. the clearing by the river with a picnic table was nice. My son-in-law was so impressed, he says he wants to buty it!
