Welcome to Your Lakeside Tipi Escape!
From the moment you pass through the stone gate guarded by gargoyles, you’ll feel it — the energy shifts. You’ve entered a truly special place. Nestled within the Ozark National Forest, our 42-acre sanctuary is designed to help you relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature—and yourself.
Whether you're fishing on our private lake, hiking nearly a mile of marked trails, kayaking, swimming, or simply lounging beside the soothing waterfall, there are countless ways to enjoy the peaceful beauty of this land. Nearby attractions like Elephant Rocks, Johnson Shut-Ins, and Council Bluff Lake offer even more adventures just a short drive away.
You will also enjoy the beautiful countryside drive to the property. As you drive in past the lake, you will find the tipi lightly tucked into the pine trees. It is close enough to the lake, waterfall and creek that you can hear it at all hours, day and night. Inside, you'll find two cozy beds (one queen, one full), ambient lighting, electricity, and a propane firepit for a cozy atmosphere. Just steps away is our shared gathering cabin, which includes a shower, kitchenette, and restroom facilities.
We live on-site and love to share the land with our guests. Cindy is a Master Gardener, and Jim is a spiritual life coach and energy worker—both are happy to offer sessions upon request. Feel free to wander through our garden and sample seasonal organic veggies, or check out the progress on our innovative underground greenhouse.
Friendly visits from our two dogs and horse are common—they love people! But if you'd prefer no animal interaction, just let us know in advance.
You’ll also find yourself close to charming wineries, antique shops, and unique boutiques like The Old Village Mercantile. We're always happy to provide recommendations to help you make the most of your stay.
Bonus: A portion of every stay supports Old Man River Nature Retreat, our nonprofit offering nature-based healing retreats for veterans and first responders with PTSD.

Every morning that I wake up at Cinco I think how fortunate I am to have a place on this earth where I am excited to be. Whether it is sweaty-hot summertime or deep-freeze, snow-covered wintertime I treasure the moments sipping a cup of tea on the riverbank listening to the birds competing over food and mates...or to the ice breaking up with the morning heat. Starting the day this way can sure alleviate a lot of stress! The tenants and guests that have stayed here make my favorite place on earth truly precious. Sharing with others magnifies the experience. Please give yourself the gift of staying here for a weekend.Learn more about this land:Sleep right on the banks of the river or in the clean level yard just a few feet away. Kayak or fish all day then enjoy a nice warm shower in our bathhouse. You can freshen your gear in our new mini-laundromat. Bring quarters or download an Iphone app to start the laundry machines.

The Magic Land Homestead is our 70 acre wooded private retreat. We are about an hour from St. Louis, Missouri, on a beautiful country drive. We rent our Enchanted Treehouse that sleeps up to 9 guests for those who enjoy a more pampered getaway with a real bathroom and shower, and we also rent out a Rustic A-Frame that's a little more primitive with a composting toilet and a hose shower out back.
Our four free range lovable dogs, colorful chickens, silly geese and goofy turkey Hammerstein, are usually part of the fun of your stay. We have a 3 acre lake with kayak and paddle boat and dock as well as a spring fed wet weather creek.
Our mission is to grow our own organic food and to live as sustainably and mindfully as possible in connection with Mother Nature. So the guests we attract are looking for a sacred more quiet getaway. If you wish to throw a big party another place would be best.
There are some trails and open areas to play, along with fun swings and an opportunity to reconnect with your soul. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Weekend Trip to Matt's Place at Meramec n Labarque
It was a lifesaver having AC and a little pool to cool off in, very chill, kinda funky atmosphere Matt was very good about respecting my space and offering support in any . It was just what I needed for the Lions Gate weekend. Lots of birds and different critters. The chickens are fun to watch. Ellie is a gem, very sweet dog and protective. The place is close to a two lane road that can get a little busy but no one can see the property.

We loved camping here and are already planning to go back! We had so much fun swimming in the creek, and we enjoyed listening to all the animals while we sat around the fire each night. It was so private and beautiful, and we had amazing views of the stars both nights we were there. This was the perfect getaway that we needed before the busy school year begins next week.

We want to come with even more family next time :) it’s beautiful, many options for camping/lodging, peaceful when we go during the week (haven’t been over the weekend) I love having a spot right by the water so we can enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddle board, watching the sunset, and finding driftwood to burn from the lakeshore.

Lots of grass coverage so when it rained it was not muddy. You can tell the owners are trying to get the place back to how it was. The pool and lake are very nice! The putt putt course is really nice as well but can use a little cleaning up. You can tell they are putting work into the campsites, so it will get there, but some of the sites need work on the electric boxes and water spigots. There was nobody around us, so camping was extremely peaceful and the kids enjoyed running around and riding bikes on the gravel roads.

What a great camping site. Views for miles and animals all around. We truly had a perfect experience. We arrived late for a one-night stay and left in the morning, so we were not able to enjoy all the amenities that the farm offered. However, this didn't stop the host from being very accommodating and wonderful. If you are in the area or even just passing through I would suggest you highly consider staying with these guys. If we are back in that area again we would definitely choose this place. Thanks for hosting us and being very kind. Five stars all around.

My family and I loved camping at Such n Such Farm’s campsite! We setup camp in Site 1. It is close to the gravel road, so there is road noise, but it’s minimal during bedtime hours. This campground is great for group camping too! We stayed Thursday - Sunday, and we had the place to ourselves until Saturday. The group that showed up was lovely, and looked like they were having a blast! I mean, how could you not when you have your own swimming oasis in nature! Totally plan on coming here again and bringing our friends! Autumn and her family are very sweet, and have a great farm store equipped with your camping needs.
