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:)

Lacey was a great host and the cabin had everything we could ask for! Being right on the river was beautiful, and there were lots of things to do and see nearby.

Such a cute and cozy cabin! We had everything we needed and more. Lacey did a great job making us feel welcome and even took us up river so we could go on a float. Perfect getaway.

Weekend Trip to Eminence Cottages and Camp
We stayed in the glamping tent, it was our first time ever staying in something like this. We typically either tent camp or stay in a cabin. It was a great location on the scenic byway. It was close to everything we wanted to see and do for a short weekend. The site was clean and the bed was super comfy. The night got cool so we were thankful for the heated bed. Thanks for a great stay!!

Weekend Trip to Ozarks Piney Bend Riverfront
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!

Lacey thought of everything from all the necessary cooking utensils to the cutest decor to make you feel right at home. She was very prompt and friendly when it came to responding to any questions we had. Would definitely book 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!

1 night at Eminence Cottages and Camp
Wonderful camp with lots of space and amenities. Beyond friendly and helpful staff, who provided free coffee and advice on area activities. We stayed in the glamping tent, which was an excellent value and very cute and comfortable. All we had to bring was our clothing. Super close to town, but tucked into the woods and very secluded looking. Loved the porch and corn hole area, as well!

This safari-style glamping tent was awesome! I went with my three kids on a spontaneous trip in early July (we brought an extra cot), and it turned out to be the perfect little getaway. To my surprise, the tent even had A/C, which made a huge difference in the summer heat.
The tent is located right at the front of the campground—not deep in the woods—but it’s nestled against a tree line, so it still feels peaceful and close to nature. It struck a great balance between comfort and that true camping vibe.
We didn’t pick the spot for the location, but it ended up being ideal. It’s just 20 minutes from Rocky Falls, an incredible waterfall and swimming hole, and there’s a great little burger shack just four minutes down the road.
We cooked all our meals right over the fire using our Dutch oven, and it worked perfectly with the provided fire rack—super easy and satisfying.
All in all, it was the perfect two-night escape.

Oh and the host, Sandy, was tremendously kind.

Great location! Came down with my buddy and his kids to enjoy a weekend away from the city. The kids had a blast hanging out in the cabin and sitting around the fire. Lacey gave great instructions and it was so easy to find. Would definitely come back again.

We had a wonderful stay in the glamping tent—it was the perfect mix of comfort and nature. The ambiance was peaceful and cozy, and everything was incredibly clean, from the tent itself to the bathrooms, which were some of the cleanest we’ve seen at a campground. The heated bed was a great touch, especially on the cooler nights.
The owners were very nice and super accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The campground was quiet, which made it easy to relax, and we loved meeting the friendly campground cat who wandered by to say hello.
We had no issues with cell phone service, which was a plus, and the location was close to downtown Eminence, so it was easy to pop into town for food or supplies. We’d definitely come back again!

The cabin was very clean and cozy. It’s also close to a lot of outdoor activities that we really enjoyed. Lacey was able to help get us setup on a float trip with her kayaks after our planned trip got cancelled. Floating the Big Piney is a must do when you’re there. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a weekend getaway in one of the most beautiful parts of the State!

Absolutely lovely stay! The views are AMAZING! Beautiful little home. Lacey really has thought of everything. A dry cabin, but they have a lovely little cold water dish station outside, and AC. An outdoor shower, but with hot water, shower mats, and a dry space for clothes. Also the compositing toilet? DREAMY! We've all stayed at those places with a "composting toilet" that's just a bug infested old porta potty with a bucket of mulch in the corner to sprinkle over. Or the one with a too small shower curtain that never really closes. And they all seem to be in a hill. This one is level 🤣, has clear instructions, is very clean, has hand sanitizer and toilet bowl spray, extra supplies, is roomy, not far from the house but still very private, it's lovely. Lacey was wonderful we had a few issues (none of them were her fault!) and she was quick to respond and did everything she could to make it right. We will absolutely be back!

Beautiful well thought out cabin Love the fire pit and outside sitting area. Cabin was just the right size. The morning sunrise was peaceful. My only negative takeaway was wish there was easier river access.

We spent two nights in the cabin for Easter weekend and had an amazing time. It rained/stormed practically the whole time, but the space was so well equipped we still had so much fun! The front porch is nice and deep, so plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors even when it’s raining. There’s a beautiful view of the river, the beds are cozyyy, and the cabin is equipped with everything you would need besides bringing your food! It is very well insulated and the AC unit worked really well. The compost toilet had such a cute little room and with the directions/set up that did not smell at all! Everything is well lit, and the outdoor shower is really cool.
A few things to consider- we had a 1.5 year old with us (she did her first Easter egg hunt there which was special). But, because of the layout with the porch height and the drop off/overlook of the river, we had to be on top of her at all times when outside. Which wasn’t a big deal but if you had multiple little ones it might be a little challenging.
We also brought our 90 lbs Labrador who had an amazing time. He had plenty of room to roam and went for some beautiful walks.
The host, Lacey, was phenomenal! Very responsive, so thoughtful (she left a little Easter basket for our girl), and was really on top of it watching the weather and levels of the river since there was a flood warning. You are in really good hands here and guaranteed to have a good time (even if are dealing with some weather)!
