This was a great stay with fun to river access. Our float got cancelled due to sever storms and dangerous conditions on the water, but there were still safe spots to hang on the the water. We’d definitely go back since it’s a short drive from the city.
We love staying here. We return year after year to stay at Kickin K. Wonderful hosts and beautiful cabins with plenty of room to enjoy the scenery and the river.
We spent time at this property in order to visit friends, go fishing and visit wineries. The house was very clean and the yard well tended so our dogs were also comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
We loved staying at Hillside Cabin. The house was great, but the property is the real star. It’s so relaxing and peaceful! We loved taking a long walk to the Meramac River and enjoyed the back deck. We would stay again!
I wanted to find a quiet place on rural land not too far from St. Louis to get away for a few days, and this place was PERFECT! No complicated check-in/check-out, and directions were very clear. Beds were comfortable with plenty of good pillows. Great to be able to bring the dog along too!
Couldn't have enjoyed the place more. Had a very nice relaxed vacation and enjoyed the peace and quiet very much. The river was beautiful and so were the fields. House had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. Thank you.
The cabin was really clean and has lots of outdoor space. The river is just a short drive away, and has a spot to put a boat in. The access spot is on a cliff, so there's not a "beach", but we found an great place just down the highway.
Our dogs loved the huge outdoor area...plenty of space to run!
We stayed with our little girl as a short get away. It was perfect for our little family. My husband and I loved the peace and quiet, and our kiddo loved all of the new space to explore outside. Beautiful scenery, amazing quality family time, and Jessica was super responsive as a host. We will be back!
We utilized this cabin for a float trip on Labor Day weekend. While we weren't going to be in the cabin all that much, we wanted to make sure we had all the amenities of home while we were away. Comfortable beds, TV with streaming services and the property manager was prompt with all of our questions. Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin!
Big property that you are welcome to roam around. Horseback riding lessons available. Great place for kids to run around. Cabin was very newly remodeled and clean with everything necessary. Online listing very accurate. Good, quick communication with owners.
Property was gorgeous with some amazing views, cabin was very clean but lacked some basic kitchen essentials we didn’t expect to have to go buy ourselves - location is beautiful but definitely not as secluded as advertising states (there is another cabin right next door) Also the first night we had a farm dog running around our cabin all night so it made us a little hesitant to let ours out .. Owner was great at responding quickly to any needs & overall we had a great trip! I’d recommend :)
In short, every second of this trip was amazing! I could not believe how beautiful this place was in person. As soon as we got there one of the owners Justin came down, gave a full rundown of everything we could do, gave fun ideas and even helped to unload the heavy stuff. Jessica the other owner was so helpful and extremely quick to respond. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and clean. The kids ages ranged from 4-10 (4 altogether) and every single one of them want to go back asap. It was relaxing but so much to do at the same time. We are already planning our next trip back! Thank you guys for renting out a little piece of heaven on earth!!
