Great place near beautiful parks and trails. The cabin was cozy and well appointed. The rear deck (with hot tub, grill and hammock) was a nice plus after long hikes. Our soar muscles and big appetites approved. There was a sufficient selection of cookware in the kitchen, a great table/island and good counter space, a leather couch and TV, a comfy king sized bed, and a good sized bathroom with stackable laundry machines and plenty of towels. We were very impressed by how efficiently everything was laid out, for maximum function and comfort. The directions for check in and checkout were easy to follow, and the owner left a nice assortment of grab and go snacks in a basket on the kitchen table. I'm a sucker for Oreos and Rice Krispie treats. 10/10 would recommend.

Home away from home

Cabin was clean and very well staged. It didn’t feel like just another rental cabin or hotel. Owner was very responsive and even allowed us to show up early due to our other check out time at previous place. Location is perfect and not far from amenities, shopping etc. Will definitely be back and recommend to family and friends.

We stayed 2 days at red star cabin. It was perfect for the two of us. Great bed and linens. Lovely hot tub. Modern appliances. Would like to see more of the lake but summertime foliage can’t be helped. Loved it and hope to return.

Picturesque

My husband and I drove from Dallas to enjoy the autumnal foliage in a beautiful and private location - this property exceeded our expectations. We delighted in the peaceful sounds of nature while sitting around the fire pit underneath the stars. The views were absolutely gorgeous, the Ozark forest was just steps away and the cabin was very cute and cozy with everything we needed. We 100% recommend this gem and we plan to be repeat guests.

We loved our visit to Cozy Cabin! It’s the perfect place to unplug, minimal cell service(could depend on your cell provider ). The internet & Wi-Fi were spotty at night but hey, it’s in the mountains that’s to be expected.Bed was great! Hand soap in bathroom was empty, we couldn’t find a refill.
