“Peaceful Retreat” @ MTL

Mark Twain Lake area has a lot to offer! Our “Peaceful Retreat” is located just 10 miles from Monroe City, and the property is only 5 minutes from Indian Creek Marina.

Very nice home includes a large kitchen/dining area with a breakfast nook. Large living room with a wood burning stove. We offer free Wi-Fi and there is a 50” Smart TV with Firestick. Three spacious bedrooms that will sleep 8 comfortably with room for setting up the portable queen size bed for added sleeping. Each bedroom has a digital clock with a USB port and charging station for docking your cell phone. Laundry room is well stocked for use during your stay. There is a large, beautiful deck for warm weather enjoyment. A Gas Grill and a Fire Pit for your enjoyment. There is a 2 acre lake for fishing (and you are allowed to keep whatever you catch), swimming & kayaking! No fireworks are allowed. No Smoking or Vaping allowed in the home ($250 fine if it happens) you can do so outside.

Take Hwy 24 South out of Monroe City, to Hwy HH (Indian Creek) turn left. Go to Monroe County Road 581 (blacktop) and turn left. We are 1.5 miles on the right. Turn at the Indian Creek Boat & RV Storage Office sign on the right. Bring your boat (there is parking on the property down by the garage), bring your family and enjoy the peaceful country setting. There is a private 2 acre lake for fishing as well. We (the owners) do live on the property as well with our dogs, but respect your privacy and give you full use of the deck, dock/lake area during your stay, but are here to help if you need anything during your stay!

Early check in may sometimes be available. Please contact us first for availability and fee charge.

Only 30 minutes from Hannibal where you can visit Museums, Mark Twain Cave, restaurants, antique stores and More! And less than 15 minutes to Monroe City!

Great place!
We loved it. Kitchen was very spacious. They set the fire pit up with wood, so it was ready to go. We labeled the hidden Pantry “the Batcave” for fun. Would come here again

Absolutely the best
This is a destination worth returning to. Could have easily stayed a week. Communication with the owner was instant. Had everything we needed to prepare our own food. Having our own private lake was amazing.

This host is awesome!
This stay exceeded our expectations. There were thoughtful, handy little extras everywhere. We didn't want for anything. The highlight of my stay was I learned how to use an espresso machine! When we needed to communicate with the host, their response was always prompt and kind. We will definitely stay here again.
