Excellent conditions for pets Hosts live nearby and are good communicators via text or phone. Hosts can direct you to several local attractions and shopping options. Hosts are happy to take questions before, during, or after your stay. Narrative about Selby Farm: Selbys have lived on this 75 acre 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. Feel free to review the Selby Farm Horse Retirement webpage if you are a horse fan. We encourage you to visit our business website where you will see more farm pictures, videos, and where you will learn more about us. 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 native Americans who used this area did so because of the great diversity of wildlife and availability of water. Also the view is amazing in all directions. Was using this ridge top encampment for security, or just because the view is so satisfying? 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. Witness the flint chips when you walk through our barn lot. You are likely to see a broken stone tool that was once worked on by a native American. 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.

We ended up with car trouble and had to divert into town, but hosts were SO sweet, even offering to let us hang out and stay an extra night. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great weekend camping trip! Doug, Brenda, and their hirehand Mr. Fox were great hosts and very accommodating. Their farm and the horses were beautiful. Love the area and the bridge near them.

Selby horse farm was an enchanting experience. It is the type of place you stay and it gives food to your soul. The landscape is beautiful, the horses are a dream, and Doug, Brenda and Johnny were warm and kind. We walked the trails, saw the old bridge, walked through wildflowers to get the the river, and met one of the neighbors out walking her goats. Time moves slower here just as it should. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

Big Oak Treehouse

I pitched my tent in the very solid treehouse. The rope lift made bringing a chair up easy. The horses and birds were good company. Beautiful countryside.

Our family loved camping on Doug and Brenda's land. They were very friendly and helpful hosts. Their horses and land were just breathtaking. The Tree House was very secluded and peaceful. Thank you for the memories !!
