The Elk River Bluebird
3. The Elk River Bluebird
36mi from Joplin · 2 sites · Lodging
Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. This bus at one time was the River Bound Express at River Ranch Resort hauling hundreds of people to the river. Since then we have fully renovated this 35’ bus which has all the comforts of home including bedding, heat and A/C, indoor shower, and all the extras needed to enjoy a stay in Noel, MO. It sits in a secluded patch of woods complete with a nice deck and fire pit. just 3-5 minutes from the beautiful Elk River.
The space
The Elk River Blue Bird sits in the middle of 40 acres of beautiful woods and deep ravines. Your nearest neighbor is our other listing of a two-person cabin approximately 50 yards away. You should feel very private and secluded, however.
Guest access
Guests are welcome to hike and explore our property so
long as they are respectful of the owner’s and other guest’s personal space.
We are only a couple miles from the beautiful Elk River where many come to canoe, raft and kayak every year! We recommend the premier outfitter
River Ranch Resort if you choose to book a float trip!
Other great features in our immediate vicinity is Bluff Dweller Cave and our local 9 hole golf course Elk River Country Club.
Other things to note
Our black lab, Dog-dog is very excited to make new friends. He is harmless but if he gets to be a nuisance just toss some water on him. He hates that :) We do not allow any pets on the property other than our own.

We bought our land in 2004 for riding and getting away. Built a cabin for us and our 6 children to stay in, when we came riding. We have been told that these hills were once used as strawberry farms. We still find wild strawberries growing. The hills we ride and hike in, were once used by Jessie James and his gang. They robbed the local bank in Pineville, MO. And the first Jessie James movie, filmed in 1939, with Tyrone Power as Jessie James and Henry Fonda played Frank James.

We had a great time here. Beautiful land and cozy cabin. Very comfortable and great kitchen set up with induction stove and convection countertop oven. Everything was very clean and well stocked with everything from board games to laundry soap. The hosts John and Ginny are nice and welcoming. We will definitely come back when we can stay longer.
