Ember Nook, our cozy riverfront cabin, offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. This thoughtfully designed retreat sleeps up to four and features a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, a large covered front deck with full river views of passing kayakers and jet boats, and a spacious private firepit with Adirondack seating.
Just steps away, guests enjoy an outdoor cedar shower house, an outdoor restroom, and a dedicated prep sink for meal prep, washing dishes, or cleaning the day’s catch. A private two-person wood-fired hot tub and lounging area overlooking the river adds an unforgettable touch to evenings under the stars.
For larger groups, Ivy Ridge, our fully stocked modern camper sleeps up to six and includes a private shower and ice-cold A/C. It’s parked right along the river with its own private firepit and water access.
Looking ahead, three new modern two-bedroom cabins with private spa areas are planned higher on the bluff, offering incredible views and the same peaceful river access. We anticipate availability by Fall 2026.
Whether you’re floating the river, exploring Ozark backroads, or relaxing by the fire, Piney Bend is designed for those who want privacy, comfort, and an authentic Ozark river experience.

We had the best stay at Piney Bend! We had rain move in right before the trip and Lacey helped accommodate us by switching us from tent sites to the camper. The camper had everything we could need. The stay was right on the river and it was beautiful. I even caught a fish right out front of the camper. Lacey kept a constant eye on weather and river levels and never missed a beat in communication. We will definitely be back!

The host was very accommodating. We arrived in the middle of the night and they worked with us for a quick and easy setup. Full hookup was conveniently located and worked well. Restrooms/showers were updated and clean. Very nice property and despite Mother Nature dealing them a few ruff blows, they are working diligently to continue improvements on their property.
