The view of the cabin was absolutely breath taking. The cabin overlooks the beautiful big piney river and outlooks large rocks and Missouri hills. We stayed here from 10/23-10/26 so the vibrant fall leaves painted the backdrop. Even just sitting on the patio drinking coffee was very tranquil. We could not kayak due to the weather since it was raining on and off during our stay. Lacy was so kind to give us a full refund and a discount code for next time! Outside the cabin there is a huge fire pit where we roasted marshmallows and stargazed. We recommend buying some fire wood from Lacey and utilizing the bonfire grill and regular grill. Lacey offers so many amenities that made home cooking meals super easy and enjoyable. We made some really amazing meals that we enjoyed by candlelight on the picnic table. The aesthetic of the cabin was 10/10 and super hippie/boho and cozy. Which we absolutely loved! Our dogs had a wonderful time playing fetch outside the cabin. One of the best parts was taking a hot shower while it was chilly outside. This was the perfect and most romantic trip for my boyfriend and I to celebrate his 30th birthday. It is our tradition to go Glamping for our birthdays. We’ve been to a few different airbnbs but we both agreed that this has been our fav.Lastly but most importantly, Lacey was an extremely hospitable host, really quick to answer any questions I had and went out of her way to accommodate us several times. Thank you so much Lacey we will be back:)

I can’t say enough good things about my stay at Piney Bend River Cabin! From the very beginning, Lacey was the most accommodating, responsive, and kind host. She put in extra effort to organize an extended Piney River float— it was the highlight of the visit! The cabin itself was just precious. It was cozy, spotless, and had more amenities than any rental I’ve ever stayed in—fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and then some. You can tell so much thought and care went into making the space welcoming and comfortable. The setting was gorgeous—right on the river with a peaceful, low-key vibe that made it the perfect place to relax and recharge. The drive up the hill to the cabin looked a little intimidating at first, but it was easily doable in my AWD Forester. Just give it some gas :) Between the amazing cabin, the beautiful location, and Lacey’s incredible hospitality, this trip couldn’t have been better. I would recommend Piney Bend River Cabin to anyone looking for a chill and secluded adventure. I can’t wait to come back! P.s. the neighbors are all friendly, including Julio, the Llama that arrived a few doors down.

My kids and I had a great stay in the cabin. It is small but has everything you need to stay cool and comfortable. Quiet, secluded, close river access. Lacy was extremely helpful and communicated with me quickly to coordinate our stay. Lacey helped us with kayaks and a shuttle up the river so we could float back to the cabin. So nice to end a day on the river at your cabin without having to do anything else to get there. We will definitely be back!

This camper had everything you need! We had a great time in Laceys’s camper. With camping with 3 boys 5 and under, it worked out wonderful for us. May be cramped with too many adults tho. Very clean bedding, and right on the river, although if swimming with little ones, it was kinda tough. Not a lot of spots for the to get into the river at safely. Lacey came out to help with the dumping and water, and we had to do nothing, which made it very nice. The very few people nearby was very nice as well. I would definitely stay on this property again!

We had a great stay at the cabin! You definitely need 4WD to get up the hill. If you don't have 4WD, then the RV would maybe be a better option since it's located at the base of that same hill. The cabin sits above the road that runs next to the river. You can't really even see the cabin from the road, so you're really hidden, which is nice.

Very relaxing weekend. The space was set up perfectly, fire pit & picnic table, down to all the little lanterns to guide your way. The outdoor shower was the hit of the weekend!

Great space for another tent & ample parking.

We had a wonderful stay in the RV trailer over the weekend. The views of the river while we had our meals were wonderful. The RV was extremely cute and cozy, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We were very comfortable, even during the rain and one of the hottest days of the month. We brought our own kayaks and opted for the float, and Lacey and her husband were wonderful and dropped us off for a scenic and lovely float down the piney. Lacey was very prompt in responding to our questions and requests, and made for a wonderful host. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice stay on the river.

Lacey was very good about responding in a timely manner & was there in 30 minutes when we needed help. The camper was very clean and comfy for my family of four with 2 dogs. The grounds had space for a small tent so my 7 year old got to “really camp”.
