We had 7 adults and 2 children. Great property. So much space. Very clean and anything you could need for a family weekend. We will stay here again in the future.
We came to Hannibal looking to celebrate our Mom's life and love for Mark Twain during the Christmas holiday. The house was absolutely PERFECT for us. When we walked in, we were greeted by a large decorated Christmas tree. Everything was well appointed and CLEAN (I'm a germaphobe) and welcomed you as if you were at your own home.The layout of the house is perfect for a large family. There are two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and another two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a large open area with plenty of seating downstairs. We had 12 people, including five teenagers. The teenagers had plenty of space in the walkout basement to play pool, sit around and play on their phones or play games. The basement doesn't feel (or smell) like a basement with the large windows and glass door.We didn't use the kitchen much, but it seemed to have everything that you would need, and it has a large island that allowed for all of the snacks that we could bring in.Overall, the needs of guests are well thought out throughout the house. The beds are very comfortable and there is ample bedding for everyone. The house is in a beautiful country setting, and the large yard would've been great to play games in, but it was 32 degrees, so we stayed inside most of the day.If we decide to have a family get together in that area again, this will definitely be the place we stay.
There were eight of us staying at Selah Cabin. The location in the country was pretty and peaceful. The cabin has a wonderful kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, perfect for eight females. There was plenty of room for us to enjoy our sister weekend. We enjoyed our outings into Hannibal and Monroe City. We would all recommend Selah Cabin.
We were visiting Hannibal for the weekend and wanted a nice place for our 7 family members. We hit the jackpot with Selah Cabin! It had everything we needed and then some! The basement with 2 bedrooms was perfect for my 2 nieces and their 2 daughters. The younger girls had their own area when they wanted to get away from we obnoxious adults, although we did use the pool table, very nice table!!
The deck and patio below were perfect places to hang out and watch for wildlife and the rare passing of a vehicle. The open floor plans upstairs and in the basement make for a warm, comfy place to hang out.
Our only suggestion would be to have a journal for guests to leave comments and recommendations for future guests. One of the very best properties we have visited ,will recommend to others going to the area. A short, easy 10 minute drive to Hannibal.
Awesome house that met all our needs during our stay. We grilled, played pool and enjoyed sitting on the spacious deck looking at the wildlife. Top notch!
This property was absolutely incredible. There was plenty of space in the home for us and our children to play and make lots of memories. We easily could have stayed an entire week and even had plenty room for more people. The refrigerator could have used cleaning and the upstairs showers were difficult to bathe children in; however, they really enjoyed them and kept calling them the “transporters.” We will definitely stay here again.
This is a perfect place for family and friends. Very spacious and fully stocked. We stayed here for the lake and wished we had more time just to spend at the cabin. Thank you for sharing this amazing cabin!
Started as a Pit Stop, however this place is PERFECT for everything we needed and more! We will definitely be back! Wish we has been able to stay longer.
Perfect location for a family gathering. We loved the location and the layout. Quick drive to the marina. Perfect porch for your morning coffee. Amazing communication with the owners. Highly recommend.
Wonderful place to stay, wish we would have been staying there for longer than one night.
The one thing I would improve is putting the house number at the road so it’s a little easier to find, Apple Maps and Google Maps got us close but weren’t quite right.

About the host
Hosted by Rachel
We are an active family of 12. We love showing hospitality, cooking and smoking different foods, working outdoors, and singing together.
Why they chose this property
From the property, you would never guess we are less than a half mile from Hwy 24/36. It is so relaxing to sit under the walnut trees playing horse shoes or corn hole, or to sit on the porches watching deer or birds cross the field, or to watch a glorious sunrise from either of the eastern-facing bedrooms.
What makes this property unique
We like to think of this house as a place to stop and rest from the busyness of everyday life. Whether you need space to spend some quiet time thinking or want a place for some family fun, we hope you’ll be comfortable here.
