Cozy Cottage - Private Hot Tub and Fire Pit
This stay was everything we wanted and more! Everything is as pictured and Lacey was very responsive. We loved the hot tub and spent plenty of time on the porch w the fire as well. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the pond some more. If you’re looking for the perfect place to relax, this is it!

The Silo Suite and Jacuzzi
We had an amazing stay. The house was spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Lavern was also a fantastic host, always quick to respond and very friendly . We definitely recommend their place. We can’t wait to come back!

Out On A Limb Treehouse
Beautiful home and view! We had a wonderful few days celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Loved the hot tub and bath tub. Plenty of things to do in the area and fabulous hiking. Can’t wait to visit again!

Adults Only Buffalo River Spa Float Tank H/T Sauna
The Mudita Spa was everything we hoped for and more. It was the most exquisite setting of any vacation home we've stayed in. She truly has a gem. When you first step in you notice how Immaculately clean it is. Then it's visually appealing with classy, luxury decor. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Since I'm a coffee-holic my favorite kitchen item was the coffee bean grinder with complimentary beans! Bring bug spray, because you'll want to stay on one of the 3 back decks over looking the running creek/waterfalls. I couldn't get enough of its relaxing sound. There is SO much to say about this awesome place, I'm sure I'll forget something. This is a place where lasting memories are made. The float spa was a unique experience. The sauna was a welcoming warmth on a cool rainy day. The outdoor Hot Tub overlooking the creek felt so good. The Mudita Spa experience is worth the price. It's definitely worth the splurge.

Private guest house
It was beautiful and private. The bed was comfy and the linens were clean and soft. There were lots of little extras, cereal and milk, drinks and snacks. Definitely will stay there again.

A Luxury Treehouse Experience | Wood-Fired Cedar Hot Tub
If you’re looking for a beautifully serene and cozy place to relax for a few days, this is it. This Treehouse is amazing! It’s contemporary and stylish with the best of everything. From the plush bedding and pillows, the spa like bathroom with its enormous soaking tub and all the nice smelling salts, soaps and hair products at your disposal, to the cozy slippers and robes provided, you’ll think you’ve stumbled upon a 5 star Spa in the Ozarks. The quaint yet well stocked kitchen is nicely equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. They’ve thought of everything! The pathways along Goose Creek are lit and adorned with various areas of seating perfectly placed throughout the property. The wood-fired hot tub on the deck under a canopy of trees is yet another reason to book this Treehouse; we happily utilized it daily. You’ll be spoiled by the top notch amenities while being nestled in the treetops and encompassed by the sounds of nature. Don’t hesitate to book!

LJ's Hideaway cabin on 40 acres w waterfall view
This place is magical. It is an undiscovered element. It is like a stair step to Heaven! This is the most beautiful place ever we have ever been. The hosts were great and the cabin was soooooo clean. We even had fresh baked cookies waiting for us when we arrived! It felt as though my soul connected to the land and was so at peace while we were there. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back in the future! Every part of our experience at LJ's Hideaway was magical. Thank you for sharing paradise with us!!!! We wanted to stay forever! 💜💜💜 Danny and Chrystal Bonsack

Treehouse 1- Private Hot Tub - Firepit- Pets
Great place for a romantic getaway. Loved the large windows and the hot tub and it’s pet friendly so we brought along our husky “Aspen”. Will definitely try to get back when we have more time. Thanks Lisa. Super nice place!
Your guide to Ozark Mountains
All About Ozark Mountains
The Ozark Mountains stretch across nearly 50,000 square miles of land from southeastern Missouri to northwestern Arkansas. Oak and hickory forests cover the mountain range, brimming with lush green vegetation and flowering dogwood trees. The core of the Ozark Mountains is set within the Ozark National Forest, where hikes like the Whitaker Point Trail pass by waterfalls draped with ferns, ending with a stunning lookout point of the valley below. Freshwater springs from the mountains feed into the Jack Fork and Current Rivers in southern Missouri, combining at a narrow canyon. This protected area makes up the 135-mile Ozark National Scenic Riverways, where you can swim and explore the clear waters by canoe or kayak.
Small towns in the Ozark Mountains hover the border between Arkansas and Missouri, where historic sites like the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History and the Saunders Museum shed light on the Ozark’s heritage. Between the two museums, you can see thousands of relics including prehistoric animal exhibits and weapons and tools used by the area’s first explorers. In contrast, you will find mixed media art displays packed into the Crystal Bridges Contemporary Museum of American Art, a modern, glass building at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains that is surrounded by thick forest brush and outdoor sculptures.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ozark Mountains
You can expect rain and cloudy skies throughout the year in the Ozark Mountains. The summer is hot and the rainiest season. One of the best ways to escape the muggy heat is swimming at natural pools in the Ozark National Forest, like Falling Water Falls, where cascades flow into a deep swimming hole. Winter weather is usually cold and gloomy. However, the Ozark Mountains Music Festival takes place in January. The live music event features bluegrass, folk, and Americana artists from across the United States, performing in northwestern Arkansas’ section of the Ozarks.
Fall weather is crisp and comfortable. In central Missouri’s section of the Ozark Mountains, you can see the oak trees that surround the Lake of the Ozarks alternate between green, yellow, and red hues this time of year. Spring is warm and cloudy with patches of colorful wildflowers spread across the forest, including rare blue violets and the native Ozark wild crocus flower. Branson hosts the Branson Music Festival this time of year, featuring live folk and country music set amid the backdrop of the Ozark Mountains.
Top things to do in Ozark Mountains
Buffalo National River
An hour-long drive from southeastern Missouri or northwestern Arkansas, the Buffalo National River is set between towering rock bluffs topped with lush green trees. You can rent a canoe or kayak on-site to explore the 135-mile river or hike the serene half-mile River Overlook Trail for panoramic views of the Buffalo River from above.
Ancient Ozark Natural History Museum
About 30 minutes south of Branson, the Ancient Ozark History Museum houses thousands of artifacts and remains from prehistoric animals that used to roam the Ozarks, including giant sloths and mammoths. Artifacts from the first settlers of the Ozark Mountains are also on display here, including arrowheads, wagons, and clothes worn by the earliest native settlers.
Dogwood Canyon Nature Park
Located a half-hour between Branson, Missouri and Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the 10,000-acre Dogwood Canyon Nature Park sits near the border of both states. On the six-mile Dogwood Canyon Trail, you can explore the park’s flowing waterfalls and lush dogwood trees by rental bike or on foot, while looking out for local wildlife like bison, elk, and deer.
