D'Ranch at Clearwater
8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · MOD'Ranch at Clearwater is a small, 40 acre hobby farm located on the north side of the Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri. What started as a simple love of backyard chickens has now become a dream farm for Tracey Durant and her husband Theodore. Nestled in the valley between two forest covered hillsides, and running adjacent to Clearwater Creek on the east and the lake on the south, D'Ranch could not have been a more perfect location for the Durants to plant their roots and get their feet wet. While they continue their love of backyard chickens with their small egg and hatchery operation know as HeebyJeeby Chickens, they have expanded their interests to an array of friendly farm animals including horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, and an occasional turkey or two.

Narrative about Selby Farm:
Selbys have
lived on this 75 acre farm
since 1990.
Doug and Brenda are
retired from teaching
at
nearby public schools.
Our Farm is now dedicated to boarding retired horses for their owners.
Feel free to review the Selby Farm Horse Retirement webpage if you are a horse fan.
We encourage you to visit our business website where you will see more farm pictures, videos,
and where you will
learn more about us. We practice rotational grazing for the health of the horses and the health of our pastures.
The horses live in a herd as they would in the wild.
Basically, they are hanging out with their friends!
They also get regular care and feed and
so are VERY happy.
You will see and probably interact with the horses if you wish. They are guaranteed to come closer if you have treats like carrots and apples slices.
Our quiet
county road used to be the main road along the river. A hundred years ago it was
called "Shanty Road".
The shacks that were along it housed workers that harvested food from farms in the river bottom. The only
evidence of those shacks now is perrenial
flowers growing in unusual places.
The area is inhabited by professionals working in nearby towns and cities. In fact there are only five homes along our 1.5 mile
section of Copps Chapel Road.
The native Americans who used this area did so because of the great diversity of wildlife and availability of water. Also the view is amazing in all directions. Was using this ridge top encampment for security, or just because the view is so satisfying?
The Missouri River is on the far side of the bottoms now, but has been very close historically. There is also a large spring flowing from a cave nearby. Witness the flint chips when you walk through our barn lot. You are likely to see a broken stone tool that once
worked on by a native
American.
These river
hills are composed of soils blown in from the end of the last ice age. Being near the river, erosion has cut down the surrounding area making the scenic topography associated with Missouri River valleys and river hills.

We think we've got some surprises in store for you when you get here. You'll find us located just off Highway 65 in the beautiful Ozark Mountains. We're seven minutes from Branson, one of the busiest tourist destinations in the Midwest, but take the five-minute ride or walk down to Base Camp and you'll feel miles away from it all.
Howler is imagined, designed, and maintained by riders who love our unique terrain and wanted to pull the best from it. Our trails are built with all skill levels in mind with a clear goal of rider progression. And we have all kinds of things for you to do at Base Camp, the hub of activity at Howler Bike Park! You can start your day with a specialty coffee drink or smoothie at Howler Coffee Shop and enjoy Chef Dustin's insanely-delicious food at the Growl Grill. Stop in the Welcome Center for bike passes, Howler merch and bike gear. Are you shredding with us and need a new tube or tire change? We've got you taken care of in Howler Bike Co. next to the Welcome Center. We have beer and wine available at the Growl, and you’re welcome to take your purchases to your tent to enjoy!
Base Camp is also home to our concert stage, where you can enjoy live music on designated nights under the stars cozied up next to our gas-powered fire pit. Or, maybe you'd like to sit around the wood-burning fire pit and make smores. We'll be happy to get a fire started for you!
And of course, if you are shredding the trails at Howler the next day, you are just a footbridge away from check-in at the Welcome Center and the Howler Shuttles!
COMING MAY 2023, you'll be right across the footbridge from our restroom/shower facilities, skills course, and children's play area! And, we're working on an up trail for bikers and hikers and more spots for you to watch your party shred the mountains!

Tobeyland
3 sites · Lodging21 acres · MOWe are just off I-29 in northwest Missouri between St. Joseph and Platte City.
This tiny cabin is across the driveway from our house on flat ground. Our property is 21 acres and includes a yard of 6 acres and fields (alternating corn and soy beans) and a wooded area.
There is a fishing pond down the hill behind our house. There is also a fire pit to the left (north) of the cabin. Around the fire pit are swings and benches. We call this area Geriatric Park. It used to be a playground for our grandkids, but when they outgrew it we adults took it over!
We have a gravel driveway which services our house and the cabin. You park next to the cabin. There is a kitchenette with the necessary essentials and a small bath with a shower and toilet. There is also heat and AC.
If you love nature and want to relax, walk in the fresh air, or even be put to work, just let us know. We want your stay here to be enjoyable and hope you look forward to coming back!
We are in the country not too far from the Pigeon Hill firing range, so you may hear gunfire from there or the neighbor's target practicing.
Nearby are several wineries, the McCormick Distillery in Weston MO, and historical St Joseph MO (where the Pony Express began and Jesse James ended), as well as several antique stores. Just a little further southwest is Leavenworth KS, which has a huge amount of history and more antiques, and Fort Leavenworth (the Army's Command and General Staff College (CGSC)). To the east is Jamesport MO, our local Amish colony.
This is a farm. If the thought of a bug, spider web, or strand of hair makes you cringe, this probably isn't the place for you. The cabin is clean and sanitized between each visitor, but is not prepared for a forensic inspection. Thanks for understanding!
Learn more about this land:
This property was just a farm field when we bought it. We love how it is turning out and can't wait to share it with you.
We have Pekin ducks. Pekins are the white ducks, like the Aflac duck, or like Donald Duck. They are bred for meat and eggs, so they are fat and cannot fly, so cannot be released into the wild. We keep them happily spoiled. We don't eat our ducks, but love the eggs when they decide to lay them.
In the cabin is an informational book that tells about our rules, local restaurants, things to do, how to work the TV, microwave/air fryer combo, and hot plates.
Our pond is fed by underground springs, so the water is very cold. We keep it stocked with 6 kinds of fish (blue gill, crappie, big mouth bass, small mouth bass, catfish and 1 carp). If you choose to fish, please don't keep the albino's or the carp (he keeps our pond clean). If others are dinner size, enjoy your fresh meal!
The farmer behind us has cows, so you may see or hear them. We also see visiting deer and turkey on occasion.
If you bring your pets, do not leave them outside alone. Being in the country, we have coyotes, bobcats, skunks and raccoons. None of those are pet friendly.
