Calm Country Oasis - Creek, ATV Trls & Norris Lake

So Disappointed
Our visit was great. It was the lack of follow through afterwards that has been beyond disappointing. My son left a jacket at the property, and it was found. I've asked so many times if it can be sent to us and that I'll pay for shipping, and have been told that it will happen. But ... it's been more than three months and there is no action. I travel regularly and this is not what good looks like.

Peaceful
We have stayed at quite a few places, and I can honestly say that this was my favorite. The home was exactly as described in the listing and the minute you opened the front door you could tell it was clean and comfortable. The outside was very peaceful with the waterfall and the firepit and string lights at night make it the perfect place for smores. We definitely will be back and highly recommend staying here..

Long weekend
The farm style house has great bones and is very unique with lots of character. We enjoyed the quite location that it offers with no distraction. It's just a short walk to the creek where you can enjoy the fire pit while listening to the sounds of the water flowing over the old mill dam. We will definitely be back.

Outdated
The house itself is cute, but obviously very old and nothings been updated, which is okay. But there is an obvious plumbing and sewage problem, the odor of raw sewage is strong.

Beautiful property!
We had such a great stay! We loved playing in the creek, having fires at night in the fire pit, grilling out and spending a day at the lake. Blue Springs Marina is close-by, and it was just a short trip to gas stations or the store, if we needed something. We loved the charm of the property and would definitely stay again!
