Great weekend in the woods

I took my son up for the youth turkey weekend. I chose Mike's cabin due to its proximity to the public hunting land. The cabin is fully furnished and has some very comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay. P.S. My 10-year-old harvested his first turkey on our trip.

Peaceful, Secluded Weekend

This property was excellent. We went for a weekend float trip at nearby North Fork River. The cabin offered just the right amount of creature comforts with all the benefits of being in nature. It was clean, cool, and the hosts were very communicative. Would definitely go back if we find ourselves in the area again.

Perfect Family Getaway

The cabin was well decorated, comfortable and clean. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. The pellet grill was easy to use and worked great. We even saw a flying squirrel while hanging out on the fro t porch one evening. This is a good location for fishing or floating the North Fork of the White River.

Good time

We came out for a week of hunting. Unfortunately the weather was awful. That’s no fault to Mike, he went above and beyond to help us out. The cabin is secluded but convenient to west plains. Will definitely book again.

Lil cabin in woods

Very cute tiny cabin. We had plenty of firewood for our late night fireside sitting. The fireplace is gorgeous. The tub was a little tricky to navigate and a little too short for my spouse. The spiral staircase took some getting use to. Definitely an unplugged experience. Very limited cell phone service with T-Mobile. What did we do back in the old days??? Smile.

Peaceful

I enjoyed the cabin because it was peaceful and there was little access to wifi or cell service. I am appreciative of having some supplies available such as coffee, hair dryer and snacks. I wish I could have stayed longer, but we had a short trip. The neighbors were friendly, the gate code was easy to access as well as the keys.

Peaceful and Clean

This cabin is located on a peaceful plot of land way back in the woods. We enjoyed making fires, sitting outside, and grilling on the patio. We can't figure out how the owners keep everything so clean. There weren't even cobwebs or nests on the exterior of the cabin. The inside was clean and has everything you need. Also, Mike was great to communicate with.

Sasquatch took a hike

This is a cute little cabin, perfect for a 49th anniversary trip. We spent most evenings sitting outside on porch, waiting for sasquatch (Big Foot) to show up he never did. That is how far out from everything felt, but the owners house was just a couple blocks down the lane through the trees. It contains a well equipped kitchen for meal prep, games for entertainment which were not needed, just sitting outside listening to the sounds of the forest was entertainment enough. I know I heard the trees take a deep sigh, just before the rain started. Listening to the rain drop through the leaves without the sounds of a city, yeah. Finding out we could both sleep together in a full bed was Great! It is a cozy, clean, and very comfortable cabin for our celebration. AC worked great, cellphone service was adequate when needed,(there were storms that rolled through that added to the whole atmosphere), hiking trail just to the North of the property (150' maybe) on Mark Twain National Forest, and best of all, no TV, no internet service. Just us and the sounds of Nature. Be sure to have insect repellent though, them little critters are hungry. Sorry for being long winded on this, but we thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the sites, but the greatest pleasure was to get back to the cabin and just sit out on the front porch with the wine we purchased here and there. Thanks to the Henry's for providing us with this cabin.

Great cabin in a beautiful location

A friend and I booked this cabin for a hunting trip and it was absolutely perfect. Its tucked way back in the woods and backs directly up to hundreds of acres of public land which has a ton of game. Mike was very helpful and was quick with answering any questions I had. I 100% recommend this place, especially if you just want a little break from city life.
