Tobeyland

We 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!

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.

We also have 3 Nigerian Dwarf goats, named Dawg (white and brown), Gracie (black) and George (black and white). They sleep with the ducks, but we let them out in the yard most days. No matter what they say, please don't let them in your cabin.  They are NOT potty trained.

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.

43 inch TV with antenna, microwave/air fryer/convection oven combo, mini fridge, coffee pot and ice maker

This is the view across our field to our neighbor.  We just love the red barn.  It seems to complete the farm picture.

The end of the counter folds up to make a dining bar. Games and trash are under the counter

The sofa is a hide-a-bed. The counter pulls up to be a dining bar

This is my husband, Vern, with a fish he caught a few years ago.  He threw this one back, and we have stocked even more fish, so there are some big ones to be caught. Please throw back the albino and small fish. We also have some fish food if you just want to feed them.

This side of our kitchenette has the mixrowave/air fryer combo and a 2 burner chocolate.

Mulberry Pond's Shady RV Sites

Learn more about this land:Mulberry Pond offers a beautiful view overlooking a spring fed farm pond. Campers can fish, pedal boat, walk around the pond on a mowed path, visit the goats, chickens, turkeys, and cats. In season, ducks are on the pond, and you are welcome to feed them.
