My husband & I were looking for a simple, relaxing getaway that wasn't too far from home. After going through dozens of places in Missouri, we settled on this cabin close to Pomme de Terre Lake. Pomme de Terre is a low-key, easygoing community; there are a few restaurants, but this isn't a tourist spot, which was PERFECT for us. Outside of renting a boat for a bit, we kept things very relaxed, which was literally what the doctor ordered. The cabin was absolutely adorable, and had pretty much everything we needed. We stopped by a local grocery store on our way in, and were able to make a lot of our meals ourselves, keeping our overall costs way down. Even when we went out, though, the local restaurants are inexpensive.
As far as the cabin itself, every decoration was on theme, & so sweet! The fire pit and BBQ grill were perfect for us, and they had quite a selection of board games that we had a blast playing. We didn't watch much TV, but they had a few movies we enjoyed with our son.
I'm not big on frills or fancy things; I'd rather have more fun on our vacations then waste money on fine dining and chandeliers, so this was my kind of vacation. People say, "simple" like it's a bad thing, but in our complicated lives, a "simple" cabin and vacation like this one couldn't be more appreciated. The cabin made it possible for my family to have true, quality time together, & that was absolutely the best. We would definitely recommend this place and Pomme de Terre!
