This land has been asking to be shared. First it was swings and little things for the grandchildren and their friends. Then the Cabin by the pond began to welcome visitors. Soon the steep slope anchored a Yurt with a wrap-around deck that puts you up in the trees. Our gathering spot by the creek became a camp site. Recently the grandkids' Bunk House found its way in. Our Retreat is 10 acres, narrow, but 1/4 mile deep, stretching down a steep wooded slope to a creek - and up the other side to the top of a bluff. It is only ten miles to Jefferson City but has a quiet and distant feel.

Narrative about Selby Farm:
Selbys have lived on this farm since 1990. Doug and Brenda are retired from teaching at nearby public schools. Our Farm is now dedicated to boarding retired horses for their owners.
We practice rotational grazing for the health of the horses and the health of our pastures. The horses live in a herd as they would in the wild. Basically, they are hanging out with their friends! They also get regular care and feed and so are VERY happy. You will see and probably interact with the horses if you wish. They are guaranteed to come closer if you have treats like carrots and apples slices.
Our quiet county road used to be the main road along the river. A hundred years ago it was called "Shanty Road". The shacks that were along it housed workers that harvested food from farms in the river bottom. The only evidence of those shacks now is perrenial flowers growing in unusual places. The area is inhabited by professionals working in nearby towns and cities. In fact there are only five homes along our 1.5 mile section of Copps Chapel Road.
The Missouri River is on the far side of the bottoms now, but has been very close historically. There is also a large spring flowing from a cave nearby. These river hills are composed of soils blown in from the end of the last ice age. Being near the river, erosion has cut down the surrounding area making the scenic topography associated with Missouri River valleys and river hills.

Very private campsite with great river views and easy and close access to the river and gravel bar with vast area of shallows that lead gently out to deeper water. And the river is wonderful clear water. Tubers can walk 10 minutes upstream, put in at the bridge, and have a very nice float back to camp. We stayed at Hobbit Hollow which is next to Crawdaddy Creek site. If you want total privacy, rent them both. Host has provided many amenities in the common area, including many tubes and floats. We plan to come back.

We had a great stay at 38 Special. The resort is very well maintained, quiet, and has beautiful views of the lake. The sites are nicely set up with plenty of room to relax outside, and the overall property has a more upscale feel than a typical RV campground. The location was also great for exploring the Lake of the Ozarks while still having a peaceful place to come back to. We would definitely stay here again.

We were unable to make it but I didn’t see an option to cancel. Didn’t mind paying since we didn’t know we wouldn’t be able to make it until very late in the day. The system needs to provide a method to cancel, even if no refund is available. May already exist and I missed it.
