Mark Twain Retreat

Very convenient for anyone visiting Mark Twain. Plenty of space, large fenced backed yard for your furry friends, & many conveniences to make your stay enjoyable. No need to stock up on groceries as there is a grocery right next door. Fire up one of the two provided bbq pits & enjoy the covered patio area with a table for 6.

Great pet friendly location near MTL

Have stayed here multiple times & love its proximity to Mark Twain Lake. Large fenced in yard for your fury friend, and a local grocery store right next door. Full kitchen, and gas & charcoal grills to coose from. Small park close by & plenty of quiet local streets to take a stroll through the neighborhood. Hosts are easy to get a hold of and very accommodating.

Great Rental!!!

This is our 2nd stay at this property and it was great just like the last time. Convenient location in town right next to the grocery store and 5 minutes from the lake.

A week in Perry

Tornados & bad weather struck 3 hours after we arrived in Perry. The whole town was without power until 2 or 3am the next day. We made the best of it by finding some candles in the house & made a little party out of it. The rest of the week was fun. Morel hunting, fishing on Mark Twain Lake & the Salt River. The people in the area were all so nice. We will definitely be back sometime. Thank you Greg & Chris! Cool place to hang out for a week.

Charming Old House

Great property with all the amenities of home. This rental supplies its guests with everything you need for your stay. The owners made many upgrades while preserving the details of a 1914 home. The woodwork, doors and original flooring throughout the house are beautiful. They did an awesome job! The huge backyard was perfect for our dog and had plenty of room for her to run around. The lake is only 5 minutes away which is super convenient! Chris responded to the few questions we had quickly. We are already planning our next stay in the area and we will definitely be booking this house again!

Beautiful Old Farm House

The home was just that. A beautiful centurion home that was cozy, comfy, and in the heart of Perry. The backyard patio and table was amazing for our family meals during our stay. All the modern convenience plus the beautiful home made our trip to Mark Twain Lake unforgettable.

Great Family Hangout

I was visiting family in Perry so this was the perfect spot. When we weren’t on the go, we hung out and cooked many meals in the house. The kitchen was large enough for a few cooks and laundry was convenient. I will stay again!
