Take a walk on the wild side in our wonderful, wildlife-themed cabin. Great memories are made here –with family gatherings, girlfriend get-aways, or a home away from home for a large family. You will never stay in a motel again!
A wolf family on a boulder welcomes you to our beautifully landscaped front yard. Walk up the huge flagstone steps to the large front porch where 2 cedar rocking chairs are waiting for you to rock your cares away. For the early risers, this is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun greets a new day.
As you enter the front door, prepare to be awed by the breathtaking great room! The soaring cathedral ceiling, the wood burning fireplace, the well equipped kitchen and large dining table, and the comfy living room area all cry out “Welcome home!” The sign on the fireplace says “Cabin livin is the life I love” and you will soon believe it too! The “critters” above the closet love company and they are so glad you are here. The huge rustic entertainment center houses a 40” flat screen HDTV along with a DVD and VHS player. Lots of movies and Cds are provided for your enjoyment. Wireless internet, cable TV, and landline phone with free long distance is provided for you. A bookcase holds a large assortment of books and there are plenty of quiet places to get away by yourself and enjoy them.
I know you can’t wait to explore and it is hard to know where to start. A master suite is on each side of the great room. One is the Fish Room and the other is the Moose Room. Both have wonderful, enormous, log king sized beds. The fish room has a very unique antique dresser and roll top desk. All bedrooms have flat screen HDTVs and DVD/VHS players. The Moose room has a luxurious Simmons Beautyrest mattress. Both have huge master baths with double sinks, jetted tubs, and a large separate shower. Bubble bath and candles are provided for those relaxing bubble baths. Each bedroom has a doorway to the huge deck. There is also a doorway to the deck from the great room. On the deck you will find a gas grill, patio table and 8 chairs, 2 cushioned chairs and a lounger. (Remember, I promised quiet places to enjoy a book.) The deck has a restful view of the quiet Ozark woods. Don’t be surprised to see wildlife. We have seen turkeys, deer, and a variety of small critters. Don’t worry--all have been harmless.
Back inside it is time to go downstairs to continue the exploration. Step into the game room and say “Wow!“ The quote on the wall says “You don’t stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.” This room promotes youth--at all ages!! Fun is what it is all about! Charles dreamed of owning a pool table all his life and here it is! And what a beauty it is! Next you will notice the air hockey table. We never knew how much fun air hockey could be! Wow! It is a full sized table with an electronic scoreboard and cheering fans. On the wall is a another huge flat screen TV and DVD/VHS player. Check out the games- some board games and some DVD games. Lots of fun! The comfy couch folds down into a full size bed. Some of our favorite movie posters add to the décor of this room. Maybe your favorite will be there. (If you are a teen age girl--you may find one you like, thanks to our granddaughter. )
But wait--not done yet… Off the game room are two more bedrooms. One is Americana themed (check out pictures of our service oriented family) and has a king sized bed. The other room is just plain fun--it is cowboy themed and has two twin beds. (They can be pushed together if you wish) Both bedrooms have HDTVs, DVD/VHS players and access to the lower patio.
There is a door off the game room to the patio also. Here you will find another patio table and a charcoal grill. You will also find one of our favorite spots--a porch swing!
Off the game room, you will also find another full bath with a tub/shower and across the room is a large utility room with a full size washer and dryer. Iron and ironing board available. Don’t take home dirty clothes!
Back to the kitchen, we have tried to provide all the basics and some extras. There are lots of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, silverware, utensils, as well as a coffeepot (with filters and coffee) a blender, mixer, crockpot, and toaster. Some spices and sugar and cream are available.
This home is truly an exceptional place to gather and we know your family or group will love it as we do. You’uns come on in and sit a spell. We’re waiting for you at the Wilderness Retreat Cabin!
