Cozy Cottage with Private Patio
Cozy Cottage is a great name for this space. My partner and I visited for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary and it was perfect. Cozy, inviting, clean and surrounded be the GORGEOUS Mark Twain National Forest. We wanted to keep things pretty chill so we opted to stay in and cook a bit, then go out and hike and curl up with a movie. The space provided the basics to make all of that easy.

Great 2nd stay in Sebastian! This time with outside tubs and showers with a great view. Also a little deck great for watching the rain move through the hills. Easy access to all kinds of outdoor exploring including a few trails from your front door. Fun little self checkout store with a few necessities if you forget something. Beautiful backdrops down the road at Dillard Mill. Can't wait to go back.

Single female traveler friendly!
Just 2 hours from Saint Louis lies Heaven!
Arriving just after 4:30pm, I was greeted by this adorable, and exceptionally clean Airstream! The surrounding deck, outside bath and shower are the show stoppers. Despite a day of heavy rains, my day was not lost; surrounded by the sound of rain on the metal roof, I witnessed the best in views that Missouri offers! Well maintained trails provided for an afternoon of hiking and across the road, a short hike to the Huzzah. Clear water as far as one can see provides for great swimming holes!
This place is magic.
I rebooked as soon as I got home. My new retreat.

We found a hidden gem. Photos don’t give it the justice it deserves. Then add the side by side bathtubs with a wonderful view and what more can you ask for. So peaceful, especially watching a thunderstorm roll in. Hosts were friendly and attentive to detail. Highly recommend you book this place. You won’t want to leave.

Beautiful property with a view. Extremely private and close to the water. We had a blast, so relaxing. We usually find new places to camp but we will revisit this place. The shower/bath on the porch was a bonus. Very much satisfied. Thanks so much.

Perfect weekend getaway
Beautiful place! The airstream was clean, and had all the essentials we forgot to pack. The deck was well-maintained and the outdoor shower was a nice touch. The property is large, with beautiful views and hiking trails. Our city dogs absolutely loved being able to run around off the leash. There is another camping area a few yards from ours, but we still felt like we had our privacy and there were large curtains we could close if we wanted. We absolutely want to return!

Cozy Cottage with Private Patio
The Cozy Cottage was a wonderful little cottage to stay in for the weekend. We appreciated the comfortable beds, full kitchen, warm showers, fire pit, and even laundry facilities! The best part of our weekend was the short hike from the cottage through prairie and timber to the gorgeous, clear Huzzah Creek! The creek was perfect for creek stomping, rock hunting, and we even found some deeper holes for swimming in on a hot June day. The cottage is well located for day trip explorations to pristine lakes and trails in the Mark Twain Nat'l Forest. Perfect weekend getaway for nature lovers. We might have to come back sometime.

Family Weekend
The owners were available and helpful when booking the reservation. The property was a beautiful, rustic, tranquil place to stay with pond fishing, hiking trails, nearby historic sites, & river floating within an hour. The Avion was quaint and comfortable 1960s camper for a maximum of 4 people. Beautiful views all around. We unfortunately arrived to full trash cans, the entry deck was unfinished & still under construction. A chop saw was left plugged in on the small private deck which I had to move and clean away the saw dust. The outdoor shower area on the front deck was unfinished also. An empty container of wood screws lie on the floor with the contents moved under the tubs. Shower heads had not yet been installed. Side walls were in place for privacy but only a half wall in front with no curtain, so we had to “rig” a curtain with bungee cords and a sheet to make do. I don’t feel like the Sebastian should have been rented until completed or we should have be informed of the construction.

Worth the drive! Beautiful propert!
My husband and I stayed at the Airstream with a Private Deck for 2 nights and 2 days. We had a great time! We took full advantage of the beautiful deck and the grill. The property was beautiful and the Airstream itself was immaculate. The outdoor tub and shower were a fun touch!

Peaceful Getaway / Gorgeous Views
We had such a nice stay at the Airstream. The view across the valley is absolutely stunning, and the scenery in the surrounding area is gorgeous (we very much enjoyed the drive to get here!)
Everything was well stocked - Grill items like tongs, foil, seasonings, basic dishes, utensils, paper towels, etc. They provided ground coffee and some sweetener, but if you are picky like me and want real sugar, bring your own. They even had a few decks of cards and a puzzle for days you need a little more to do.
A couple things to be aware of - and these are NOT complaints, just things you might want to know if you stay here:
The bathtub is glorious, as is the outdoor shower. I wish I'd had more time to sit and soak. However, it is BARELY big enough for 2 adults. We tried. It was nice for a bit, but then the water starts to drain out and there's not enough hot water to refill it and keep it hot enough. So, if you're planning a romantic bubble bath with your significant other, don't get your hopes TOOOOO high. :) All that being said, we enjoyed the little time we used it. :)
The trails around the property were wonderful, and we really enjoyed them. There are several very steep hills, though, and some areas are large, loose rocks that are a wee bit precarious. You also have to cross the creek a couple times. Granted, it stormed the night before, so the water was probably higher than normal, but the waterproof hiking boots were a good choice for this trail. The trails were also VERY well marked with laminated "you are here" maps at any point where the trail split in different directions. Super easy to read and follow.
One other tip - As far as we could tell, there was no bathroom fan, nor did the window seem to open. (it's possible we missed something). Lack of ventilation can make the entire camper fill up with rather unpleasant odors. Our solution to this was to open the camper door, and use the fan from the closet (above the trash can) to blow the air out of the camper. It seemed to do the trick. (I wish I could insert the laughing/crying emojis here).
Again - the above things are not complaints. They're just things that I think might be helpful to other people.
We loved our stay. This was a mini honeymoon for us and it was pretty perfect. Very peaceful. Bed was comfortable. It was fun discovering all the little nooks and crannies they've turned into storage. There's even a lever on the back of the bathroom mirror that makes it pop out so you can see yourself more easily.
I definitely recommend the Airstream for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Also, we had zero internet reception (Verizon) while in the area, and the lack of distraction was quite nice. :)

We enjoyed staying at The Sebastian! Beautiful property, relaxing and just what we were looking for. We walked the grounds, down to the creek and The Mill, we enjoyed the location. The temps are getting cold at night, so bring some extra blankets would be my tip to upcoming visitors. Can't wait to visit again :)

What a gem the Sebastian is! A perfect spot to just relax. A lovely area to explore. Hosts went beyond expectations and the sunsets were exquisite.

Welcoming with a great view!
Jay and his family were very welcoming and The Sebastian was just as pictured! There is plenty of hiking around between the Park, Huzzah, and Mill just down the road. The stars (and milkyway!) were spectacular especially if you turn off all of the lights at your site. We'll be back!

Fun getaway at the Pine Valley
The two-night stay at the Sebastian was pleasant and fun! The RV was set up well ahead of our arrival and clean. The hot water supply and the lighting was superb. Jay, the host, was amicable and had been pretty accommodating with any requests. We did a campfire on the first night with the logs and firewood on the property, which were a bit damp, probably due to the rain the night before, but there was ample to use. The surrounding area is picturesque and serene. The hippy shower is exciting, although a working shower inside the Sebastian would have been cozier. Also, we were expecting (our mistake, not the host's) that the burners inside the RV are working but they are not. Jay mentioned the he is working on fixing and improving things, like a deck around the Sebastian. This would surely add to the value of the unit and anyone would happily rent it even at a higher price. Overall, a definite A+ experience.

Looked this experience. Went with our two dogs. It was sooo nice not to be required to leash them. As we were packing up we were already trying to figure out the next weekend we can come out again. Thanks for everything, hosts!

Lovely spot
We had a wonderful stay in the Airstream. Property is lovingly maintained with hiking paths, cow pasture and a short walk to both the Huzzah Creek and Dillard Mill State Park. Jay and family were very friendly and helpful. Just a fantastic weekend all around.

Airstream with a Private Deck
A wonderful glamping experience
The experience at the airstream went above and beyond my expectations. The deck is beautifully built. While taking a hot bath, you can admire nature at its finest with miles of hills and wildlife. Upon entering the airstream, everything was tidy and fresh. What the hosts provided was enough to be comfortable and elevate the time spent inside. On a side note, the queen bed in the airstream is super comfy and will put you right to sleep. The firewood was plentiful, and when you are sitting around the campfire at night, you might be lucky to hear a cow bellow. It was immensely private with curtains and being on the edge of Pine Valley. Being that it was on the edge, there is immediate access to the cow field, trails, and a couple ponds. By the airstream is a state park that is perfect to stroll in and admire the historical mill. The wildlife that can be found include otters and live crawfish. It is also useful that a small town is located not too far away. I would definitely recommend to anyone intetested to stay here. We might make this an annual trip!! The only thing we disliked was not booking longer.
