We have both led lives that involved traipsing about the globe, bouncing continent to continent, but a few years ago we gave ourselves the opportunity to simplify and settle in (or, for Keith, to return to) the Ozarks. After enjoying non-commercial, owner-hosted properties in a few countries, we decided to open our doors to like/open-minded souls, to offer an escape, a place to ground and recharge. In just a few years, through our three offerings, we've hosted well over 1000 guests, sharing innumerable tales and countless bottles of wine. Hosting is just something we enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land
We camped in the safari tent and had a cozy lovely time. Although it was in a loop with other campsites it felt plenty private, set back from the road and separated from the other sites by plenty of trees. Didn't end up trying the tub, but it looked nice. The wood stove kept us warm throughout the night, and the solar power bank and water pump were a nice touch.

Wow! What a nice retreat. The sites are well maintained and everything has been thought out and put together for a peaceful getaway. The spa area was so very relaxing. We used the woodburning sauna and ice bath. Wonderful! The remote setting amongst the trees made the spa area a unique experience. So grateful for the composting toilets that were well spaced amongst the sites for easy use. Water was easy available. 10 mins away Elephant Rock and 20ish mins away from Johnson Shut ins. We will be back for another stay. Highly recommend.

Keith and Benka have “piece of Eden” ! I went on a solo trip looking for some personal me self care time. I asked Keith for some options on hiking and waterfalls. He recommended the best options for me and my personal preferences. The Tipi was over the top beautiful and nestled just right within the woods. Private. Beds are very comfortable and have heaters in them for winter. The accessories for your stay are endless! ! They have remembered everything a traveler may forget. Cute grill that is private and sun room with a fridge to use. Bath house with very modern and clean !!
Owls hooting at night reminding Mother Nature works even when sun is down. Morning meditation on my own personal deck! Perfection to start the day with. Benka’s cinnamon coffee was extra special and yummy to the daybreak of peace and quiet of the new day. Keith & Benka are world travelers that have lived and captured their experiences thru out the property with books and photography . They also support Tibetan children that are in exile with a donations collected. This is an exceptional couple with kindness to share for their travelers and people of all cultures! I will most certainly stay again and again! Deep gratitude for my new friends!

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land
We stayed at the Arcadian Osasis site and it was just that an oasis. The yurt was amazing, wonderful amenities like the solar fridge- we didnt use but would be great for those staying longer than we did. The kettle with butane burner was fantastic when we needed our coffee the next morning. The yurt felt very bohemian right up my alley. My daughters are teens and they had a such a great time. It was a wonderful time in a beautiful serene setting to take time with family.away from technology. Thank you Arcadian Valley Oasis for the gift you set up in nature we loved our stay.

Weekend Trip to Undara Studio
This was a super cool experience. We forgot so many little things and, being the amazing hosts they are, Benka and Keith had us covered. We brought along what little camping gear we had, but you can seriously show up dressed for the weather with a little food and a water bottle and you'd be set! They have thought of literally everything. We had such a good time. We even had a little rain overnight and the covers on the hammocks kept us dry, but just in case they even provide goretex sleeping bags. I really admire what these two have built, and I'll be returning in some fashion very soon! Thanks again Keith and Benka!

Friendly hosts and a well equipped glamping platform tent. We really enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful front porch sitting and a cozy wood burning stove to fend off the chill. That outdoor bathtub was a fun experience. Well done.

We absolutely loved staying at the Arcadian Oasis tent at AVO!! The host, Michael, was so friendly and checked on us each night we were there! He made sure to answer any questions we had about the site/things to do around town. The tent was absolutely amazing to stay in. There was a nice queen size bed, ample mood lighting and seating, a few campsite games and a puzzle. There were 2 different types of butane cookers, a kettle, a solar powered fridge, and a large container of fresh water. Just a short walk from the tent was a well maintained outdoor shower and a very nice wood fire hot tub that was very relaxing. We arrived at 4:30pm and he had it burning all day so that it was hot for us by the time we arrived. The host even offered to fire up the sauna but we declined as it wasn’t quite cold enough outside for our liking, but we appreciated the sauna option! If you’re early birds like us, watching the sunrise over the lake from the porch of the tent is just spectacular. All in all we had an amazing time and we definitely recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a relaxing “glamping” experience!
