About this property

Secluded Getaway with Private Meramec River Access and Floating

Have you been searching for a secluded, serene space where you can truly relax and get away from it all? Look no further. Whispering Woods is a peaceful two-bedroom cabin nestled deep within the magical Ozark Mountains, where your nearest neighbors are over a mile away. Surrounded by mature trees and close to the majestic Meramac River, Whispering Woods is your ideal home-away-from-home in the forest.

An Inviting, Open Great Room
A winding lane leads through the trees, where the lovely log cabin facade and classic front porch of Whispering Winds sit. Open the front door and step into the warm and welcoming great room, with vaulted ceilings and lots of natural sunlight. In the living space, an oversized leather sofa and an ultra-comfy armchair face the large HDTV. In the corner, the wood-burning stove adds just the right dash of coziness to this spacious room. After a day filled with outdoor adventures, your crew will love to curl up here in the evening for a movie night. Through the glass door, there’s also a sunny back porch.

A Pristine Eat-In Kitchen
Next to the living area is the open eat-in kitchen, complete with a convenient breakfast bar with stool seating for three. Natural wood cabinets surround the full suite of appliances, including a refrigerator, an electric range, a microwave, and even a dishwasher. So even though you’re “roughing it” in the woods, you still have all the comforts of home. This kitchen also includes a dining table with seating for four.

Two Private Bedroom Suites
Around the corner lie the two individual bedroom suites, each with a comfortable queen size bed and two bedside tables with reading lamps. These bedrooms each have their own ensuite bathroom, with a tub/shower combo, which is ideal for families or couples traveling together that are looking for just a smidge more privacy.

A Game Room and Firepit
Downstairs is the walk-out basement that has been transformed into a fun game room, complete with a ping pong table, a dart board, and a plush sleeper sofa. Glass doors lead outside to the covered patio and the charcoal grill. There’s even a fantastic firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs— ideal for roasting marshmallows while watching the sky above that sparkles with thousands of stars.

Close to Lots of Outdoor Ozark Adventures
Located 2 miles from the banks of the Meramec River, guests of Whispering Woods will have easy access to the nearby private river pavilion that is used for all sorts of activities— like rafting, kayaking, and fishing. We also highly recommend booking a float trip with us while you’re here. Floating is an ultra-relaxing way to experience the beauty of the river and a great way to cool off in the summer.

Poorly equipped

Basic travel items missing, industrial laundry detergent provided, use 1-2 oz for every 100 pounds? How do I measure that from a gallon bottle? Basic amenities not provided. The cabin needs bedroom furniture, no place unpack, 8 days living out of a suitcase on floor. Rented from the prior owner 10+ times, this owner may lose me as a regular customer. Owner seems to be too greedy to provide items provided by every rental I have used, all over North America.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
This idyllic location has been in my family for five generations. Originally purchased by my great-great-grandfather, my great-grandfather was born in the original farmhouse. Then my grandmother, her twin sister, my own mother, and I were all lucky enough and blessed to have grown up cradled within this picturesque and peaceful piece of land.

Excited and inspired to share our love of this land with others, my husband Justin and I started 4J Vacation Rentals in 2020 with two homes— Country Cabin & Hillside— that were each built and lived in by my grandparents and my great-grandmother. In 2021, we purchased the neighboring 16 acres and 4 cabins— Dogwood, Sassafras, Copperstone, and Murphy’s Retreat— that overlook the Meramec River, and our vision of sharing this land was magnified and expanded beyond our wildest dreams.

Additionally, Justin and I also run a nearby cattle farm, and my mom and I have started a non-profit equine therapy practice for those with special needs. Justin and I have two kids who love to run around and explore the surrounding rolling hills and sparkling riverbed, just like I did when I was a kid, and my mom did before me.

This land is a magical place we so enjoy sharing— and seeing guests like you fall in love with it is such a rewarding feeling. Waking up to see the morning sunrise through the mist as it rises off the Meramec River Valley is a truly spiritual experience— one that will effortlessly bring you the serenity and tranquility you crave, and that are so lacking in the world today. But don’t take my word for it. Book your next escape and come see us soon.
