Great communication from the hosts beforehand, and worked with me on needing to change the dates of my trip. Appreciate their help and welcome on arrival. Nice private site in the woods. Being a short distance from KC, was just what I needed for a quick visit outside the city.

A really nice, clean, quiet, secluded spot, which was what I was looking for. Either a good hike or a 4x4 to get down to the spot, but worth it. Looking forward to visiting John's place again.

Host was great with communicating with me on directions and responsive when I had a question. The property was exactly as described in the ad and my family had a wonderful time. Grab all the supplies you need, the town doesn't have many options for groceries. Not even really an issue, just a time saving tip. 😊

This was our second visit to JQ’s land and we just love it there! It’s quiet, secluded, our pups love being off leash and there is so much land to walk and explore. This time we also did some fishing in the pond, as well. We will most definitely be back next year. Super friendly host, beautiful location, well maintained, can’t go wrong spending time here!

This was a unique site as it was private and wooded. We could hear a barn owl hooting during the night. The kids really enjoyed the tree house with the hammock. The host was very helpful and guided us down to the river bottom. Thanks!
