Bill is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

This land has been asking to be shared. First it was swings and little things for the grandchildren and their friends. Then the Cabin by the pond began to welcome visitors. Soon the steep slope anchored a Yurt with a wrap-around deck that puts you up in the trees. Our gathering spot by the creek became a camp site. Recently the grandkids' Bunk House found its way in. Our Retreat is 10 acres, narrow, but 1/4 mile deep, stretching down a steep wooded slope to a creek - and up the other side to the top of a bluff. It is only ten miles to Jefferson City but has a quiet and distant feel.

The Bunk House

98%

(65)

Cabin · Sleeps 4

The Bunk House is an 8 by 12 foot shed with 3-4 bunks. There is a twin sized bed across the back, a bunk sized bed on each side and a plank to pull out to accommodate a fourth person in the middle over the walkway. Then you have an 8 by 10 foot bed. We have foam mattresses, sheets, blankets and pillows. There is an air-conditioner and a heater. Bucket toilet behind and hose for water and showers. Fire ring available. No pets. This is a very simple, yet comfortable space. On the property is a swimming pool for you to use - in season. And there's a fire ring nearby that you - and guests from other units - can share. We provide a load of firewood if you want. There is also a trail - 1/4 mile round trip, to a creek at the bottom of our property. It is steep at times and a bit muddy if it's been raining...

We loved staying at Bill's yurt! It felt very peaceful and secluded and had everything we needed for a cozy night mid-roadtrip. The shower was a pleasant surprise and we were very grateful for AC!
