“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.

Wonderful stay at the Peaceful Retreat.

The house was great! Very clean with a welcoming home like atmosphere. Vicki has thought of lots of little details, like having beach towels, so just bring your swimsuits. Roasting forks, so just bring the marshmallows. I definitely would rent this house again and highly recommend it as a great place to stay when you are in the area!
