About this property

🔝❤️ PEACEFUL TREETOP COTTAGE

Tired of the hustle and bustle of daily life? Come let us spoil you in our fully-equipped cottage up in the trees. Unwind to nature's sounds from your private terrace while planning a trip to one of the nearby State Parks or local wineries.

This is the best private lodging in the area, filled with personal touches and serves as a great base for romantics, hikers, bikers, divers, winers and diners wanting to explore the natural beauty of the Ozarks.

The place is perched among 16 acres of secluded forest enveloping the maintained grounds, which offers all the solitude you need to swing the hammock, grill on the private deck, picnic under the tree canopy and light your fire. Yes, it's true, we supply free firewood, marshmallows and so much more for you to enjoy.

Plenty of shaded parking available, with enough space for a trailer. Also, lots of room for primitive camping.

Cottage is a separate building from our house, so guests will have the run of their place without worrying about disturbing or being disturbed.

Our guests value their privacy, so we adjust our interaction to meet their needs. We are always available by phone, text or email.

We also offer additional services such as meals, professional massages, access to hot tub, fitness and spa usage (European standards apply), tours, courses, intimate wedding services and vows renewal, etc... all for a fee. These services are provided to ensure the comfort of our guests, who are under no obligation to partake.

No public transportation is available in the area. There are plenty of quiet country roads and some good trails for bicyclists, motorcyclists and joggers. Shuttle services offered for an additional fee.

Owners are seasoned world travelers, willing to give suggestions on the area, or other continents. We love exposing world cuisines to America's heartland.

HOUSE RULES:
- Rule no.1: Enjoy! Everything in the cottage is there for you, to be used, so explore;
- No smoking indoors, please. Ashtray provided to be used on the deck when needed;
- Well-behaved, housebroken, groomed, crated pets or those with their own bed are welcome, but are NOT to be on any furniture at any time. They're welcome to experience freedom, exploring the surrounding woods, fields and creek. If you can't trust your dog off-leash, don't bring it. If your dog can’t be a good guest, you both will be asked to leave. Our dog has been attacked by visiting pets and it won’t happen again. $65/pet/stay (payable on arrival) to ensure the comfort of our pet-allergic guests;
- Private septic systems are only designed to process human waste and a sensible amount of toilet paper. Anything else and you will create major problems for everyone, including yourself. Therefore, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but the above mentioned should go down the drain. As proof we care about the comfort of our guests, we supply quality toilet paper instead of the recommended single-ply, but please use it responsibly;
- Living in the woods demands cohabitation with the living creatures whose home you share. Respect their privacy and avoid them, rather than killing them or destroying their shelters;
- We would greatly appreciate finding the place just as we left it for you to enjoy;
- If ever in doubt about anything, ask. We are always only one click or phone call away.

We Came Back
This has become our happy place. We returned for some R&R and this trip lived up to our expectations. Clean, quiet, and anything we needed was available and already thought of, including a running buddy. Thank you Keith and Benka!!!

Exactly what we needed!
Everything was extremely clean, exactly as described, every little detail was addressed, owners were very receptive, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure we stayed comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Quaint and cozy cottage among a breathtaking treetop canopy
Benka and Keith have created a safe, comfortable and welcoming space surrounded by nature with all of the comforts of home. The cottage is fully equipped and stocked with everything one could possibly want and/or need for a relaxing forest escape (we overpacked). No need to bring water, as they have a well with excellent quality water (and a Brita water pitcher to filter it, maybe unnecessary?). We recommend utilizing the hot tub as it provided a further level of comfort and relaxation, especially while it rained (it is covered and has an accompanying patio space). The sound of the rain and rolling thunder among the forest was hypnotic. My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary here and we both feel more connected and closer to each other following our visit. We enjoyed our time together here, more than our honeymoon. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us. Alina and Brian Alina and Brian

We needed a getaway, and boy did we get one! Read many reviews and most said “pictures don’t do it justice”, and I second that! Such a lovely cottage, and there are NO words about the attention to detail!! Absolutely amazing! The little extras, the added touches, homemade treats and welcome basket; not expected but so appreciated! Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the LONG list of extras! Such fascinating people! Wished we met Benka; but maybe next time because we will be back! Thank you again Keith and Benka! What a gem!

Adorable property!
We were so pleased with this cottage- the pictures on the listing didn’t do it justice. We were only in the area for a wedding, but we already want to come back to experience Benka and Keith’s hospitality and all their extras. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Keith & Benka

Host profile image
For us hospitality is a labor of love. Come join us and let us introduce you to this spectacular part of the world, where we celebrate every day of our lives. We adore life, like spoiling people and revealing secrets of cozy country living. Yes, we take our hosting very seriously and cutting corners is not our style. We guarantee we'll do our absolute best to satisfy your needs.

Benka is an author holding several Guinness World Records in adventure traveling and Keith works as a foreign adviser.

Why they chose this property

Our location in the eastern Ozarks makes the perfect base camp for daily excursions to the numerous State Parks, scenic rivers or the Mark Twain National Forest. Or, if you have a taste for fermented fruit, head east towards Farmington/Ste. Genevieve and the Route de Vin.

Be sure to read Homeaway/VRBO's conditions closely regarding commissions and extra charges. We have received complaints from guests regarding their policies and charges, but we most certainly do not benefit from this. Or look for the name of our property out there in the wild, wild world.

What makes this property unique

Our property is secluded enough to make you feel like you've really run away. Yet we're only one hour south of St. Louis, and minutes from the local stores and groceries.
