Located at the confluence of the Meramec River and Labarque Creek, my place (Matt's Place) is a ridge above a bottomland bowl of sorts. The old iron truss bridge here is likely built in 1910 and it has a survey marker from 1932. The creek has a nice little swimming hole, and a beach that is sometimes sand, sometimes, gravel, and sometimes a mix of both with some silt or even mud after a storm. It's peaceful down there to explore in the creek, wade while looking outward to an opening into the Meramec River. It's also fun to stand just at the mouth of the creek in the Meramec River. It's an awesome view upstream or downstream of tree lined banks, rock bluffs, and every now and then, passing boats, canoes, paddle boards, or kayaks. The old iron truss bridge hovers above the meeting of two waters. The water is cool and clean. Some fifty species of fish have been recorded in this creek, the most in all of Jefferson County and St Louis County. The bottomland has two levels, the lower bottoms down by the creek and the upper bottoms about a hundred feet from the creek. The upper bottoms has a clearing like a meadow with mowed grass. My favorite things to do here include gazing up at a cottonwood tree that must be sixty feet tall. It's leaves in a breeze are like a thousand hands waving hello. The bottomland meadow offers just enough sky to see bats dance in the dusk air between the trees, then fireflies as it gets darker yet. Up top is where I live. Just five miles off HWY 44 and HWY 109, at Eureka, MO, (30 minutes west of downtown St Louis, 18 minutes from Six Flags) this place sits on a ridge with great views above the Meramec River.

We have both led lives that involved traipsing about the globe, bouncing continent to continent, but a few years ago we gave ourselves the opportunity to simplify and settle in (or, for Keith, to return to) the Ozarks. After enjoying non-commercial, owner-hosted properties in a few countries, we decided to open our doors to like/open-minded souls, to offer an escape, a place to ground and recharge. In just a few years, through our three offerings, we've hosted well over 1000 guests, sharing innumerable tales and countless bottles of wine. Hosting is just something we enjoy.

We had a lovely stay at The Dragonfly! Gay Ann was a wonderful host and took such great care to make us comfortable. The camper was so sweet and cozy. My 13 year old and I slept comfortably in the two beds and had a great time exploring the trails and fishing in the pond. The camper was clean and in exceptional condition. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need including a coffee percolator and coffee!! Lots of outdoor amenities like a fire pit stocked with wood, playground equipment, hammock, and plenty of seating. We would be happy to return and highly recommend staying here. The muffins and cookies were a delicious treat and favorite of my son’s.

The farm and staff are absolutely fantastic! We had an issue with charges, which they resolved with some investment of time on their part. They all I’ve and beyond in service. Helping us find our site in the dark, making sure we had enough supplies and even throwing a pair of jeans in the dryer for our teenager 😁 Truly kind people!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Dragonfly. It was everything we wanted and more. The host was so friendly, welcoming and she makes the best chocolate chip cookies. Everything was so easy to use and we enjoyed the land and it’s not too far from town. There was a sweet kitty we met roaming around the pond. The camper was warm and a snug fit in the bed for two adults. The outdoor shower is definitely a highlight. It was so fun and refreshing. It was a rainy weekend and the shower got so hot it was perfect mixed with the cold rain!

We got 2 glamping tents for a 15th birthday- 3 kids, 1 adult, 2 dogs. All enjoyed the stay. Nice pond. Comfy beds. Elizabeth works hard to provide and ensure you have what you need. Farm animals are always lovely to see and be around. Nice patch of property to explore on foot. Shared kitchen area a nice touch (for our ice-cream cake and meals).

1 night at Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

My rock loving son and I spent the night here and my only complaint is we didn’t plan to stay longer! Everything about this peaceful and beautiful land is amazing. We stayed in one of the furnished yurt style tents and it was gorgeous and had so many nice details like fairy lights and a fan! The hosts Elizabeth and Mark really went out of their way to make our stay incredible. My son is an avid rock collector and Mark showed him all sorts of rocks from his collection and even cut a few of the ones we collected. It was hot outside but we still slept well with the fans in our tent. The outdoor kitchen had everything we needed and the compost toilets and the showers were clean with great warm water. We started our morning by relaxing in the awesome hammocks by the pond and then visiting all the farm animal's. This is a must visit place for anyone who loves rocks or is seeking a family friendly place to enjoy the outdoors. We are already looking forward to our next trip back!

Keith and Benka have “piece of Eden” ! I went on a solo trip looking for some personal me self care time. I asked Keith for some options on hiking and waterfalls. He recommended the best options for me and my personal preferences. The Tipi was over the top beautiful and nestled just right within the woods. Private. Beds are very comfortable and have heaters in them for winter. The accessories for your stay are endless! ! They have remembered everything a traveler may forget. Cute grill that is private and sun room with a fridge to use. Bath house with very modern and clean !! Owls hooting at night reminding Mother Nature works even when sun is down. Morning meditation on my own personal deck! Perfection to start the day with. Benka’s cinnamon coffee was extra special and yummy to the daybreak of peace and quiet of the new day. Keith & Benka are world travelers that have lived and captured their experiences thru out the property with books and photography . They also support Tibetan children that are in exile with a donations collected. This is an exceptional couple with kindness to share for their travelers and people of all cultures! I will most certainly stay again and again! Deep gratitude for my new friends!

5 nights at The Magic Land Homestead

What a wonderful homebase for a beautiful retreat away from the hussle and bussle of city life! I went in most excited for the indoor swing, which was as spectacular as expected, but everything else on the site was so comforting and it was so easy to feel at home. Hearing the roosters every morning was such a fun way to feel connected to nature as soon as the sun came up. If you're looking for true rest and relaxation, while being in the middle of tons of trails, river spots, and natural oasis' - this is your place! Laura was so helpful and accommodating of our needs, and easy to contact even with the low cell service (which was a wonderful way to 100% disconnect from it all). We can't wait to come back again someday, any spot on the Magic Land seems to be recipe for a great time. :)

The tent camping at Elizabeth's Hawks Bluff Farm provides access to potable water, composting toilets, clean showers, and a camp kitchen. We stayed two nights weathering the rain and enjoying the rock hunting. If you like to explore nature, hunt rocks, sit around the fire, and chill, then this is a great place. Mark showed us where some good search areas are and provided an overview of what to look for. Much of the beauty you will find is above ground.

4 nights at The Magic Land Homestead

It had all the sights and sounds of a homestead. Roosters, chickens, ducks and dogs greeted us in the mornings. The A-Frame was very comfortable, cozy, and eclectic. We had everything we needed for a long weekend. Laura Lynne is a very thoughtful host, and everything we could have needed was present, clearly labeled, and had instructions on how to use it in case you're unfamiliar. Though we did not need any of these items, the A-Frame had a good first aid kit, supplies in case of a power outage, and a box full of commonly forgotten item. As someone who does education on substance abuse, I want to give Laura Lynne two big thumbs up on including Narcan with the first aid kit. Stocked shelves of books and games were an unexpected and fun bonus! You can do as much or as little as you want to here. While we heard other people, the sight lines from the A-Frame were very carefully guarded and we were able to feel like we were alone on our little bit of creation. It was very restful. Make sure you walk down and check out the beautiful creek.

What an awesome amazing adventure! This is absolutely the best place for vacation/camping! Liz was so helpful the entire time and so friendly we felt like family. The tent that was set up and ready for us when we arrived was the cutest thing ever and so comfortable! Showers and bathrooms were great. Rock hunting there is absolutely amazing! You are guaranteed to find amazing things on this property, you will not leave empty handed! They have a shop on site you can buy finished rocks or you can ask for them to cut and polish ones that you find on the property! We had an amazing time and will be back! Thank you for the wonderful memories and experience!
