A literal 30 acre pocket of paradise tucked away just minutes North of Columbia, MO. Here you’ll find a private lake with fishing access, rolling hills with stunning sunrises and sunsets, plenty of space to reset with nature, perfect for a glamping getaway. We have 3 separate sites on the property. Our 24’ yurt that sleeps up to 6 with indoor toilet (no shower) propane fireplace for chilly fall and winter stays and AC for the Missouri heat; a cozy RV that sleeps 4 (queen bed and bunks in the back) offers all the amenities of home with a kitchen and bathroom (with hot water and shower); and last we have a level gravel site with 30amp electric and water hook ups (no dump capability) with picnic table, fire pit and grill available for those that want to bring their own RV. We are Pet friendly (with additional cost for the yurt) as we have our own over friendly farm dog. Come play yard games, swing, fish, bring your kayak or paddle board, kids can play or swim on our sandy beach, or just walk our 1 mile perimeter trail, a perfect place to rest, rejuvenate and recharge. Farm fresh eggs are available as well as any extra firewood. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our little pocket of paradise.

My fiancé and I wanted a little getaway from the city and The Pocket was the perfect choice! We brought our little chihuahua mix with us as well and there was plenty of space for the three of us in the RV-we really enjoyed sitting outside in the evening, it was so relaxing! The property is lovely and we had no issue finding it via Google Maps-all in all we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend booking it if you need an escape to the countryside!

The Pocket is s must-see-and-stay if you want peace, beauty, warmth and comfort. We stayed in the RV with 2 teens and everyone was very comfortable and had plenty of room. The land is truly beautiful. I loved just listening to the breeze and the birds. Fishing was fun. The town of Columbia is clean and has stuff to do. (We played minigolf!) Amanda was a very thoughtful, friendly and attentive host. Even our dog was more peaceful! It was just what our family needed.

What an awesome stay! Beautiful property, clean and comfy RV, and overall a great place! Had my doggo who is a bit standoffish with people and this was the perfect alternative to a hotel. 10/10

Perfect family getaway. We stayed here in February when it was in the 30s/40s and the yurt stayed very warm and cozy at night. The property is very quiet and peaceful. I recommend this place!

We enjoyed our stay in Cabin #2 @ Peacetree Farm. Katie was a wonderful host. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and our room had nice cool A/C with a serene view into the woods. They were welcoming of our dog and had a goofy kitten that came to play with her frequently. Stargazing was amazing; being in such a remote location and far from any major city lights. We saw several shooting stars and could clearly see the Milky Way. We walked the 1-mile loop around the gorgeous 7 acre lake and saw some breathtaking views along the way. We relaxed by the water and did some fishing - we didn't catch any but we saw another group pulling out a few good sized fish. There weren't a lot of other campers there and everyone was spread out over the property so it felt like we mostly had the place to ourselves. We had our own fire pit (wood provided) with chairs provided and also had access to our own charcoal grill. We had access to a canoe and kayaks and had planned to paddle around the lake with our dog but ran out of time. We hope to go back again in the future. This was a wonderful getaway for us to relax in nature. I highly recommend this place if you're looking looking for a very peaceful getaway in a gorgeous remote location.

We stayed in the cottage and loved it! It was very clean and comfortable. The lake is great for swimming and kayaking. It’s so quiet and peaceful at the farm. Perfect for stargazing at night and watching beautiful sunrises. Katie is a wonderful host! She gave us some of her tomatoes when we forgot to bring our own. Highly recommend Peacetree Farm!

After a very long drive this was exactly what my family needed. Anything you can think of was provided. Warm water, a bathroom, potable water, microwave, kerig, TV and air conditioning. We were greeted by the owners and they even offered us eggs. We only stayed one night, wish we could’ve stayed longer.

The cottage is clean, complete with all you need except for a functional kitchen, but it's clean, great view, and the lake has a lot of big fish! Will definitely come back in the future! The host, Katie, and Steve are amazing people! Hopefully, a fire pit will be available near the cottage in the future.

This place is a hidden gem. I was only there for one day, but was able to experience full serenity. Plenty of time to get out on the canoe and catch some fish. The cabin was super comfortable and air conditioned. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying. Thanks Katie and everyone at the farm!

This place was one of my favorite stays so far on this app. The host was absolutely charming and so helpful, the view from the cottage has to be the best on the property like a post card. The lake was the perfect size for hanging out by. We could see so many stars, and the kayak/canoe included was amazing. It was just quiet and lovely and so relaxing.
