2 nights at Arrowhead Point

Kind and helpful staff with a beautiful little spread south of Clinton and north of Springfield. Accommodations of the Cowboy Cabin were solid with only a few small suggestions. Having a microwave with the kitchenette is great but I'd recommend finding a way to get a 2-burner propane stove so guests can cook (I brought my own). The 2nd thing would be that the window A/C was trying it's best, it really had trouble keeping the cabin cool during the warmest time of the day, once the installed wall unit is up and operational though I'm sure it'll be fine. Last and equally important, the wifi. I'm sure it's difficult to get anything faster but 5 up and 5 down is just not enough to keep up with the modern internet these days. The 5G signal I got on my phone was actually faster.

Weekend Trip to Buffalo Springs Farm

I had an amazing glamping experience in Buffalo, Missouri! The site was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect blend of nature and comfort. The canvas tents were spacious, cozy, and offered just the right amount of luxury for our group. One of the highlights was the outdoor kitchen, which was a total lifesaver when rain rolled in. It kept us dry and made cooking and hanging out together so easy and enjoyable. The host was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing comfort!
