Best stay of 10 day road trip thru IL and MO
We stayed a few days in Steeleville, MO, during our Rte 66 road trip thru MO. Our host was absolutely wonderful! We ended up arriving later in the evening, in the dark! She actually contacted us, providing directions and maintained contact with us until we arrived. She made sure we had everything we needed upon arrival... even a bottle of wine! With her vast knowledge of the area she was able to provide so many excellent suggestions for food, shopping and site seeing. We LOVED the quaint cabin off the river! It was so nice to sit outside on the patio with a glass of wine, enjoying the beautiful view and the sounds of nature after a long day of sightseeing. It was awesome to have so many different animals visiting the property and so cool to see all the turtles basking in the sun. We even spent a few hours fishing on the river right there on the property (had to buy fishing license and equipment 1st). Susan is the BEST Host ever! Thank you for such a great time! Wish we could have stayed a few more days! Hope to visit again!

Wonderful 35th Anniversary Celebration
We were looking for a small cabin in the woods by a river & close to home and this cabin seemed perfect. The reality was exactly as advertised and we truly enjoyed our short stay. Contacted Susan several times and she responded quickly, was very helpful. We plan to return again, for a longer stay the next time. We Highly recommend

Country Charm
The Walker Ford Cabin is the perfect combination of rustic, but not too rustic, yet impeccably clean and cozy. My husband and I along with another couple had a peaceful and relaxing weekend which was the perfect end to a very hard week. The cabin is decorated with just enough country charm. From dishes, untensils and cookware to towels, hairdryer etc, just about everything one needs is already provided. Our host, Susan, answered questions in a timely manner, was very courteous and welcoming to which we were grateful. The only complaint is that the weekend went by too fast. Lovely cabin and beautiful, tranquil property.

Wonderful Well Appointed Weekend Getaway!
The cabin was wonderful. It had everything we needed for our weekend. The location is the perfect amount of secluded, but still near enough the town to make it a quick drive to get food or supplies. Being right on the river is great and the view is perfect!

Anniversary getaway
We had a lovely stay. The cabin has been updated with a very nice bathroom. Floor to ceiling windows were installed in the covered porch overlooking the Meramec river. The owner has done a great job of preserving the charm of the cabin and adding upgrades.The cabin is at the end of a deadend close to the river. Quiet ,peaceful serene. We saw deer, hawk, a hilarious squirrel who kept our attention each day.It was hard to leave each day to attend activities planned. The owner was very responsive and shared interesting history of the cabin and neighborhood. We want to plan another stay. .

A cute little cottage by the river
we just stayed at the private river front cottage and believe me it is private. located at the end of the road with a large yard facing the river. it was perfect for balling catching with our dog. the river is right at the corner of the property which our dog loved. The house although only advertised as one room was quite well appointed with an added on a porch facing the river which we sat in most of the time. We really enjoyed the peacefulness of the cottage and enjoyed our time in this historical charming little cottage

Absolutely beautiful!!
This was an absolutely beautiful cabin and location. Speaking with the owners was easy and she definitely made herself available! Even provided channels to watch in the TV. Fishing was great. The place was clean with a couple exceptions. The outdoor grill needs new grates and the outdoor fire thing had a hole in the bottom. Overall, it was amazing! I would definitely stay again.

The cabin is tucked away on a private drive with a lot of open space fronting the river. It's incredibly peaceful and the front room is perfect to sit and sip coffee while watching the river. We will be back!

Wonderful weekend get-away
Amazing view of the river from the patio (and back room). Spent mornings sitting outside watching the river and enjoying coffee. Took the short walk down the trail to the river, lounged in the sun then took a dip in the water to cool off. We spent each night sitting around the fire pit just enjoying nature. Plenty in the area to do for sure however my favorite day was just hanging around the cabin enjoying the quiet outdoors. Just what we needed, a peaceful, relaxing weekend!

Very nice cabin that has all the essentials. We loved it!
Great for a St. Louis region getaway! Well appointed with all the necessary needs. Great river frontage and nature watching. Cute and serene, with all you could ask for in a area of peace. TV needs? Check Wi-Fi? Check Kitchen appliances? check Landscaping maintenance? Check Outside cooking options? Check This cabin (noticeably upgraded) covers all the basics for a peaceful retreat. And Sadie approved by our Goldendoodle!
