A peaceful retreat!

This cabin and its location were perfect for getting away from it all! We loved hiking on the property, the pond, and sitting out on the front lawn watching the sunsets! The cabin is super cozy and had all we needed! The host was also extremely helpful and had great communication! We hope to come back in the future! Thanks for a great stay!

Wedding retreat

My daughter was getting married at the Daniel boone historic home on Saturday. Friday night the bride and bridesmaid stayed on the property and we all got ready from the cabin. After that the new couple enjoyed the peace and quiet for the weekend. Location was perfect! Quiet and the most beautiful grounds.

Coziest Cabin with a Magnificent View

This darling cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Located in beautiful Defiance, MO, but nothing beats the view from the front porch in the most comfortable swing. The horses, the birds and lots of deer. We slept great in the extremely comfortable bed. One night there was some severe weather and Nick was so kind to offer us to come over and stsy in there basement. The owners are so very nice. We hope to return in the future.

Nick and the dogs, Teddy and Graham, were the best hosts! The cabin is perfect and just like the pictures. Very peaceful, clean, and quiet. Lots to do on the property and Teddy and Graham make great tour guides. Super close to several wineries and little bars in town. We loved Defiance Ridge Vineyards! Will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here! It is located in a beautiful location, our favorite thing about our trip was probably sitting on the front porch relaxing and enjoying the view, while listening to nature. It was very clean. The center air worked excellent and the Wi-Fi was fast and easy to use. Within 10 minutes is two wineries, both very pleasant with good wine and food, and a couple nice mom and pop restaurants/ bars. We met the host and he was very friendly, and also has two dogs we truly had fun hanging out with. We would definitely recommend.
