Bennett Springs, MO · 2 sites
Welcome to Misty Oak Getaways — a peaceful retreat nestled in the Ozarks just minutes from Bennett Spring State Park and the stunning Natural Tunnel hiking trail. Whether you're here to cast a line in Missouri’s trout-filled waters or soak in the quiet stillness of the woods, this is your place to unwind.
Guests are welcome to roam our 9-acre property, explore and breathe in the fresh piney air. Please note: our property lines are not marked, so we kindly ask that you stay within natural boundaries and be mindful of nearby neighbors.
You’ll stay in either our cozy cabin or our larger lodge, both offering rustic charm with modern comforts. Enjoy a hot shower, a fully equipped kitchen, heat and A/C, and soft beds to rest your head after a day outdoors. We don’t offer WiFi — not because we forgot, but because we believe disconnection can be the best reconnection.
Whether you’re hiking through limestone tunnels, floating the Niangua River, or stargazing beside a crackling fire, Misty Oak is your launchpad for nature, rest, and magic.

2 nights at Misty Oak Getaways
I enjoyed my stay at Misty Oak Cabin. It was everything I needed and nothing I did not. I loved the seclusion. I don’t know what a holiday weekend is like, but I think I could count on one hand the number of cars and trucks I saw pass in front of the cabin. With that, I was about 10 minutes away from fishing at Bennett Springs.
Everything in the cabin was neat and well kept. Check in and check out was seamless. Rachel always responded to messages within a few minutes.
Next time I need seclusion, Misty Oak Cabin is definitely on my list.

The cabin was really cute and clean! Had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying here if you’re in Bennett springs especially in the hot summer months when camping isn’t always ideal.

The host was very accommodating. We arrived in the middle of the night and they worked with us for a quick and easy setup. Full hookup was conveniently located and worked well. Restrooms/showers were updated and clean. Very nice property and despite Mother Nature dealing them a few ruff blows, they are working diligently to continue improvements on their property.

This cabin was fully kitted out with everything I needed, including an extra quilt for the bed. Plenty of room for the things I also brought, including my sewing basket and writing tools. I used Verizon for connectivity but did notice a 2-bar wifi available. After kindly greeting me and making sure I was comfortable, Linda left me to find my own peace. I took several walks. This property has a ton of berry brambles and if you time it right, I bet you could add fresh-picked berries to your breakfast. Neighboring land offered views of dogwood blossoms - those carefree night-gowned girls of the woods running together over the hills - and plenty of squirrels and birds to view.
If you do come as a couple, the two twin beds will give you a king-equivalent and I think you will be able to make and enjoy coffee right from bed. Ha! The trundle would easily lower and tuck back under the main bed during the day. Sturdy cottage with a generous porch. Clean toilet.
This home is off the beaten path and has no google-mapped address but is one of several small farms. Roosters kept in touch with each other! And horses in the next farm over.
All in all a great place to land if you are exploring the area or need to retreat for a bit.

It was a great retreat for one person. The trail through the woods was well cleared and I enjoyed several walks. Linda and Ron are kind and good hosts. The wifi didn't work well enough for my laptop to connect, but I did have service on my phone via Verizon data. The cabin has both heating and cooling and is well thought out. There are plenty of trees to bring a hammock.
