Scenic Indian House Bluff Cottage is Secluded Above the Gasconade River Valley

Wander one-quarter mile off the rural county road on the narrow lane through the trees. Suddenly the eye expands to include the broad river valley and wooded hills. Sitting here atop the bluff is a 3-bedroom cottage with the all creature comforts.
The setting high above the Gasconade River in south central Missouri attracts nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Spectacular vistas of the river and valley are offered from the cottage. There are three bedrooms, large kitchen, laundry, satellite TV, one bath and an outside deck overlooking the valley. Here is a wonderful escape from city life for a family, a couple, or a few friends.
Hike the ancient trail to the river where you will find fishing, canoeing, swimming and exploring. Hike the 150 acres or roam the Natural area close by. Bring your camera and a pair of rough shoes. Or simply relax in the hammock or relax by the outside fire on peaceful evenings. Children can splash in the creek. Pets are permitted. Wildlife abounds.
Memories will be made here. Bring your family, your sweetheart, or just yourself. Everyone is welcome here!

Three days on a beautiful bluff
We loved the spectacular views from the bluff house. We watched the morning sun burn away the fog in the river valley below, and the large birds below gliding on the updrafts. We walked the short path to the bench on the natural point below and marveled at the pastoral beauty of the pastures of green below, spotted with contented cattle. We drove a couple miles to the Clifty Creek trail and explored the natural bridge. In the evening we gathered around the campfire, if full view of the scene below, and reflected on the day. The house was clean and well stocked, and Tom and Kathy were excellent hosts. We will be back.

Great get-away cabin!
My sisters and I took our mother on a trip to the Rolla and Fort Leonard Wood area where she lived long ago. The cabin was about a 40 minute drive from these locations. What a fabulous spot! Gorgeous view of the Gasconade River and bluffs off of the deck! Heather shared some interesting historical details about the property which we talked about all weekend. Clean, inviting and plenty of room for our group. Loved the cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a great little vacation for us to take our almost 2 year old daughter to, and our dog. It was a comfy place with a great view. Outdoor activities in the area were fun and relaxing. We had fun!

Beautiful View
The view and the surroundings make this cabin worth the trip! Quiet, secluded spot in the hills above a river valley. I couldn't get enough of soaking in that view and listening to the silence. It was a great get-away for our teens, who loved hiking the trails and exploring. We did have to do some shopping to get essentials like napkins and dish detergent, and the cabin was not as thoroughly clean as other places we've stayed at. But we greatly enjoyed our time there, and overall, would recommend it.

17th Wedding Anniversary Weekend and Float
This property was perfect for us. It is nothing fancy and frilly just a quiet secluded low key cabin. The cabin is older but the location and host make this place what it is. The view is amazing and the host are super sweet, helpful and friendly. The house is well stocked to meet all your needs. We loved the fire pit and supplied firewood to enjoy our evenings. Due to the secluded location groceries/gas station are a 20+ minute drive but we enjoyed this because we took the back roads to enjoy the beauty of the place. Another couple joined us for a float on the Big Piney and Gasconade Rivers and stayed one night with us. There was plenty of space in the cabin for all of us. The history of the cabin and property was fun to hear about from the owner and made our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to go back someday!

Came to enjoy the Gasconade, and this property gave us great access to a blufftop location and view, a trail down to the river, and they provided three canoes as well!

This property was a wonderfully private retreat where we felt like kings of the hill! With a fantastic view of the valley below and so much space to breathe in, we couldn't have asked for a more restful and relaxing weekend getaway!
