Vacation

Beautiful cabin on beautiful property!! We were more than impressed upon entrance of the cabin. It was so quaint so beautiful clean with a beautiful kitchen with every dish you could need. The washer and dryer in the cabin was a life saver while on vacation. The bedrooms were perfect with beautiful views out the windows. If I could have made any changes at all it would only be two things, the shower was too small could barely wash my hair because you can’t get out of the stream of water lol barely turn around in there and second was the BUGS!! Holy cow being in the mountains in mid summer the bugs were horrific. We could not enjoy the hot tub due to excessive bugs outside and 2 out of the 4 guest got spider bites in their sleep and we all got ticks. There were spiders and ticks everywhere inside and out! To be expected in such a rural area. It was still a beautiful place and perfect location to enjoy all the local Missouri spots caves, springs, river.

Perfect Stay!

We loved the Sassafras cabin. It was perfect for our friend float trip weekend. Everything was clean and had all the needed essentials. Close enough to town to visit grocery store and restaurants but also in the country setting. We used Kickin’ K floats for our float trip and it was great to end at the cabin property and not have to drive after a day of fun on the river. We also stayed at the Dogwood cabin which was within walking distance so perfect for our group of 10. Will definitely stay here again.

We got a little confused on location. Google maps failed us that night but travel and being dark out when we arrived really made it hard to see. Place was quite, beautiful, clean and cozy. We had a very nice stay.

Quiet & Cozy

Great place for a relaxing weekend away. The view was beautiful and we enjoyed the hot tub on the cold autumn evenings. I think it would be ideal for 4 people. With 6 (2 were kids), it felt a bit tight and maybe not worth the "additional guest fee".

Wonderful cabin!❤️

Loved this adorable, quaint cabin! Perfect for me, my husband, two teens and our lab! It was clean, cozy, comfortable and had all the items needed in the kitchen to make a meal. You have to drive/walk to river access, but it's only a couple minutes just down the road (two great spots) and it's easy to get in and out. It was secluded enough to feel like you're away from everything, but also close enough to town to run and grab groceries, or other needed items. We met the owners and they were so friendly! We got a little lost at first coming in, so make sure you look for the signs that direct you to Murphy's Place, 4J Vacation Rentals property (Sassafras Cabin). It might be helpful to have exact directions sent once you book the place....since it's situated pretty far back from the road. Such a wonderful get away! We will be back for sure!

Christmas getaway

My family and I decided on an experience instead of too many presents this year. We definitely had an experience- fishing and hiking on Christmas day, thanks to perfect weather and a beautiful location. The Sassafrass cabin was a comfortable fit and had all we needed. There was even a Christmas tree! We highly recommend this stay.

Everything was outstanding! Clean, quiet, private and that hot tub!! We had an amazing time reconnecting after 15yrs together. And I’m so grateful we found this beautiful property! Next time we will share it with the kids and I will pet that pretty horse down the lane! We will be back for sure!! Side note… I think I might have a new obsession for cows! Watching them live there best life on this farm is refreshing to see! We loved every second there!
