About this property

Micro house cabin located near Silver Mines Recreation Area.



Sometimes in the Ozarks, I think we are cursed by not having lots of industries, business, cities, and people., but when I sit on my porch, or around the campfire, listening to the various birds, frogs, cows, and coyotes, I think we are blessed not to have lots of industries, business, cities, and people.
If you are looking for a place to get away, relax, and enjoy a natural setting, this is a good place for that. We are located just one mile from the St. Francis river, Silver Mines Recreation Area, and Mark Twain National Forrest. We are close to places to hike, kayak, fish, and swim. There is an amazing antique store nearby too. There are restaurants in Fredericktown (7 miles away) and Ironton/Arcadia (16 miles). I am also learning about some places to mountain bike in the area.
I would like to tell you that we have lots of fine and luxurious amenities, but we don't, this is a very basic little place. It has a small bathroom with shower, a tiny furnished kitchen, that includes a dorm style fridge, toaster, coffee pot with coffee and tea provided. Toaster, microwave, two burner hot plate, with pans and associated cooking tools. There are dishes and a few clean up supplies. there is also a charcoal grill, bbq tools (charcoal provided), electric heat, a/c, and a rancher style wood burning stove, if you want to make it extra cozy. There is a queen bed in the loft that is accessible through a very steep staircase, and a pull out futon that converts to a full size bed with a memory foam mattress for sleeping on the main level.
There is a campfire ring in the side yard, FIREWOOD INCLUDED! I supply some metal sticks for roasting wieners and marshmallows. These items along with some yard games, and charcoal are located in a small shed near the parking area. I supply some firewood, a fairly generous amount. There are also bundles of wood to be purchased at Silvermines Park/Recreation Area that is one mile from our property.
There is a fenced in yard, and a pet door. Your dog is welcome here. One of my friends brings her cat Cali, who really loves it here, and would stay on if she could.
Okay to let the kids tent camp in the yard. If you want to stay up all night, play loud music, and howl at the moon, there will be no one to complain, but don't be surprised if a coyote answers your call.
This is a micro house, if you are especially tall, claustrophobic, or just don't like small spaces, this may not be your preferred place. I like to think of it as easy camping, you don't have to deal with the tent, or bringing a lot of gear.
Please contact me if you like, I would be glad to answer any questions about the area, or the cabin.
I look forward to meeting you, or if you prefer contactless check in, that is fine too.

Best Regards, and happy trails. -Shirley

Great space

My dog and I enjoyed our stay. Shirley’s description is spot on and the cabin is tiny but adorable. The steps upstairs are very steep. The fenced in yard was a big point for me so my dog could roam around safely. This was a great spot for a weekend away!

Tiny house with big things going for it

Complementary charcoal and firewood. Plenty of cooking utensils and spices and condiments. Surprisingly good WiFi access. It’s a cozy tiny house in pretty country. Great stargazing when it’s clear.

My partner and I came here to celebrate his birthday for a few days/nights. The cabin was just what we wanted cozy, clean, cute and had AC! Not to mention our dogs had the best time being able to relax outside in the fenced in yard. I have recommended this lil cabin to all my friends!

Great place to stay if traveling, visiting or just need to get away. Nice little quiet place in the country, but near town. Lots of great outdoor activities nearby. Inexpensive, comfortable and Shirley is a great host. We look forward to our next visit.

Perfect weekend getaway

The host was great at communicated both prior and with notes all over to explain things about the house. I think expectations are met. I thought the house was perfect. My husband thought the bathroom was small, but I thought the water pressure in the shower made up for everything. I'm an optimist. Very cute house. We spent most of our time hiking in the area. The host was also nice enough to provide info on trails nearby. Our dogs loved the yard. The front porch was nice to sit on and the morning sounds of cows was lovely. Oh and I have to say the easy check in and check out procedures is such a joy these days.

Serene atmosphere

From the moment you step out of your vehicle, you feel welcome here. The yard is amazing!! So many amenities and extra activities. The porch is fantastic. The cabin is so well thought out and stocked with necessities. I loved the tile floor and the wood ceilings. The fenced yard is a huge bonus if you travel with pets :) Thank you Shirley, we hope to come again soon!

Such a cozy stay!

This cabin was wonderful! The cabin is fairly small but it fit perfectly for the two of us! We had all the amenities that we needed and then some provided, which was amazing. The area is very quiet and neighbors are very mindful. We will absolutely be staying here again for our next nature trip in the area!

Eclipse Stay

This was my second stay at this great micro cabin. Very close to outdoor activities and a perfect home base. Viewed the total eclipse at the Castor River Shut-ins. The eclipse was spectacular and it was nice to return to the cabin afterward rather than fight traffic. This cabin is small as advertised but has absolutely everything you need to enjoy time outdoors in a beautiful area.

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up on this property, and this farm has been in our family since the 1850's. When I retire, and hope to travel around the country in an RV, this will be home base, but in the mean time, I am willing to share with friends, and potential friends, who would like to visit, and explore what this part of the country has to offer. I look forward to meeting you all, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the cabin, or this area.
