What's nearby

  • Stopped for a picnic lunch at Alley Springs in Eminence Missouri, then decided to walk the dog for a bit. This place is amazing. There's a couple of short hiking trails, one about a mile long (around the spring) and the other 1.5 mi in the other direction. The water is crystal clear and everywhere you look is gorgeous.

Weekend Getaway

My husband, dog and I stayed here for Valentine’s day weekend. We absolutely loved the property and want to book another visit ASAP! It snowed while we visited, so we enjoyed our view of the water from the hot tub. We did check out the Jack’s Fork River and loved that we could fish right there on our own gravel bar. Can’t wait to come back when it is warm so we can swim and bring our kayak to really explore the river. The communication and hospitality was top notch.

Gorgeous retreat

This lovely cabin a short walk from the Jack’s Fork was a perfect retreat after a day of sightseeing in the area. The interior is gorgeous and so comfortable, we were well rested for our float trip the next day. I would like to go back myself sometime just for the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Contemplation Cabin is an apt name for this lovely property. The host was BEYOND accompdating. 15/10 stars. We had another couple originally going with us and they changed their parameters 6 or 7 times. Each flex, Logan was patient and worked with us. Cannot rate them highly enough. Thank you so much.

Wonderful getaway on the Jack Fork River!

The property was amazing, lots of nice touches inside and very clean. Short walk down to the gravel bar on the Jacks Fork River. We loved the wood burning stove inside and firepit outside! Host was very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to staying here again!

Awesome time playing on the river

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The river is absolutely gorgeous, and it is where we spent most of our time playing. The cabin is very private and is the perfect place to unplug and relax. The only sounds you hear is the river and the birds. Highly recommended.

Beautiful secluded incredibly awesome

Nobody else around for miles, except the occasional canoe on the river - like having your own private scenic river with bluffs in the mountains on the National Scenic Riverway. Wonderful little cabin, way better than the most glamorous of camping. Lots of cut and split firewood ready to go by the firepit, plus charcoal grill and outdoor gas grill, and everything needed for S’mores! HUGE PLUS - your own private beach an 2 kayaks to paddle right up to the gorgeous bluff formations on the far side of the river…a great swimming hole at your doorstep. Wonderful experience for us during the total eclipse - all alone with nature. Best place ever!

Contemplation cabin was amazing! It was very secluded, peaceful and serene. The cabin was well stocked for any needs and comfortable. We spent a lot of time at the river and even saw an Eagle fly by. The owners were great with communication, especially with the directions to get there, which was definitely needed, since GPS wasn't much help at a certain point. We highly recommend a stay here if you're looking for beauty, seclusion and peace!
