If you find yourself needing to stay in or near Ava, MO, this is the place! Megan's room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The bed is a trundle which sleeps two and both mattresses were extremely comfortable. The room is small but has enough space for the essentials, and the attached bathroom was great! We stayed here while visiting Baker Creek Farms which was about 25 minutes north in Mansfield, MO. There is a great diner a block down the street, Haros Brothers, where we had breakfast. Megan made the whole experience quick and easy. Can't ask for anything more in a host and place to stay!

Megan's place was very clean, cute decor and welcoming. Very European style which we loved! Right on the town square with easy access to everything in town. Didn't get to catch a yoga class at her studio this time but hope to in the future!

Lovely place and town

Hands down, The Well is the best thing going for Ava, MO. If you are passing through and don't stay here you will be doing yourself a disservice. The Well offers yoga, steam room, organic coffee, and a clean/comfortable sleep space. You can even pop into the store for some of the finest brands of yoga gear and clothes. It brings a bit of city comfort to this tiny town. Across the way is a natural market with anything you might need on your stay. Megan is a warm and kind host and went out of her way to make sure we were having a good experience. We would definitely visit again and recommend the space to anyone visiting Ava.

The place was nice. The hosts were friendly. I would not recommend the Stallion room as it had no windows. And honestly, I'll just drive to Springfield next time. Other than a decent Mexican restaurant, the town has nothing but a few fast food restaurants and a lot of empty buildings. The prettiest thing in town is the view from the cemetery on the hill.

Are stay at Fox Trot was perfect. They have really thought of everything, very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in town. Thank you again guys.

This home was absolutely lovely, tucked away. It's great for a family or a big group of friends. We had a lovely time!

Claire and Myke were fantastic Hosts and the cabin was great. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a quiet place to relax with friendly hosts and animals, and beautiful scenery.

From the moment we pulled in the driveway I felt at home at Dockley Ranch. I was greeted immediately by Claire and her entourage of extremely loving and friendly dogs and puppies! I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Our room was spectacular and beyond worth the fee we paid to stay there. The suite is HUGE with a wrap around deck, a private exterior entrance, a jacuzzi tub. There is a full kitchen available to use too! If we would have had more time, I would have loved to cook up something delicious in the ample space of the kitchen. We didn't have much time to adventure (we were on a tight schedule) but we did trek up the hill and get a panoramic view of the beautiful 80 acre ranch before we headed out to Baker Creek.

Claire and Myke have a real gem of a place in rural Southwest Missouri. If you are looking for a remote, beautiful location to escape, enjoy nature, and unwind, then this is it. To get there, you'll travel off the beaten path down windy gravel roads to arrive at their lovely log cabin and homestead. The room is a very large, private bedroom with a couch and desk, located on the first floor at one end of the house. There is a private attached bath with double sinks, shower, and jacuzzi tub. The room has a private entrance to the outside, which leads out to a wraparound deck overlooking the forest. There is tons of privacy, yet Claire and Myke are very friendly and happy to interact if you want. The room and house was very clean, and communication, directions, and instructions were all well-organized. The house has modern conveniences (good water pressure, internet, and full kitchen), coupled with a feeling of remoteness and closeness to nature. Claire, Myke, and their family were an absolute pleasure to get to know and chat with. They were incredibly gracious in sharing their home with us, and have an interesting story to tell about moving to and living in the Ozarks. We very highly recommend a stay with them - either as a destination in itself, or as part of a weekend trip to Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and Pioneer Village or the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum, both nearby.

The hosts made me feel very welcome. I already knew Claire, and I got to know her husband and their two daughters. Following their good directions, I found myself in a beautiful three-story log home in the middle of an Ozark farm (ranch) with their goats, chickens, and alpacas. The place is so deep in the valley that there is no cell phone reception, and the hills are too high for good satellite tv reception. I was able to enjoy the weekend without the need to keep up with email or tv. I look forward to coming back to the ranch in October and helping the hosts with their goal of hosting live bluegrass music festivals on their property. They have built a stage for the performers and the audience will be sitting in front in their lawn chairs.

We only had one night to stay, but wish we had more. Claire and Myke are outstanding hosts and really fun to visit with. Their beautiful log home sits on a nice setting and the room was perfect for a good night's sleep. Total peace and quiet and a great place to just plain relax. Loved it!!

Our stay with Claire and family was a special treat and adventure. We LOVED it. It was worth the drive in from the the main, paved roads. Lovely environment and luxurious room, really. My granddaughter got to interact with the animals which she loved. A lovely family in a gorgeous place. Very restful, too! We so enjoyed our stay and interacting with Claire and family.

Great experience! The house is really beautiful, the room very clean, huge and with a great jacuzzi tub and shower! The family is very kind, offers rides, go feed the animals etc .. And even lets you breakfast with fresh eggs from the henhouse. We would definitely return.

We loved our stay at Dockley Ranch. The bed was very clean and comfortable. The Jacuzzi tub was amazing. The family wonderful. The nature glorious. Claire was very friendly and generous. The entire family was a pleasure to meet. Aspen, their 10 year old daughter, made us a wonderful omelette for breakfast one morning. She also favored us with a couple of selections on her violin. Claire took us on a walk that was wonderful. We saw the waterfall, one of the springs, and a very sweet tiny house with a fantastic view. We enjoyed being off the electronic grid for awhile and having good conversations. As Vic stated "You sure can't get anything like this a a motel." We hope to go back again sometime in the Spring.

Jann's place is really something special. Secluded in the Ozarks, with access to a beautiful creek which we spent the day reading by and swimming in. Jann and Betsy worked hard to make sure we were comfortable, and generously left plenty of amenities for us to use during our stay. Though cell service is not great, we relished the opportunity to just enjoy the landscape and take a couple days to ourselves. Absolutely recommended.

Little Creek Cabin is great. Off the beaten path to say the least which is great in these busy times. Sitting outside on the deck in the evenings is just perfect. Jann and Becky are very gracious hosts and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is great!

Better that expected the pictures do not due this place justice. This is not your grand dads old hunting cabin. Completely remodeled and update appliances with that rustic touch, well off the beaten path great view of the sun set and saw a few deer on the way down to the creek. We had run of the property very secluded and private. I think this is our new get away!!

This was a total getaway. Pictures do not do it justice. Cabin is so nice, newly redone. The location is so great. Beautfuk and secluded, you just have to experience it....

They were very welcoming. We enjoyed being out in the country on a working farm.

This listing doesn't really convey just how idyllic an experience we had at High View Farm. The property is farmlike, but the most beautiful and gracious farm I've ever seen. The hosts are farmers, but with the capacity to cross that cultural divide as though it didn't exist. Our visit here was truly a beautiful interpretation of "sustainable agriculture" for the city person. Susan offered to prepare us dinner on our arrival, and it was sublime. She and William spent much valuable time answering our questions and showing us their plants, gardens, and animals. If we had been able to stay longer, we would have witnessed the birth of a calf. I don't know how I will be able to get back to Fordland, but I would like to spend a week there next time. I would like to mention that the home does not show as well in photos as it does in life. It is a lovingly and carefully restored ancestral farm house in Susan's family. I expected it to have, well, elements of rural life that are not our most-cherished elements (bugs, for example, skunks, and, well, old-age.). This was not the case. It was very, very clean and up-to-date; it was sort of time-capsule in the very best sense of that word. Beg Susan to show you her canning cupboard, with rows and rows of preserved fruit and vegetable, just like you read about in books. Beautiful!

The house is on a working farm, so unique in that aspect. A real bonus was the fine breakfast and snacks for our early morning departure.

Book this place ! Don't even think twice about it. You will love the warm welcome, the most wonderful food you can imagine! Seriously the food will have your tastebuds dancing for joy. It's peaceful, super clean, private, and a tranquil setting. William and Susan are amazing host! Don't miss out on this opportunity. We will be back for sure! Blessed by this experience.

We count ourselves very blessed to have found The Promised Land B&B! The accommodations are as stated in a peaceful, quiet rural setting. We loved the beautiful log home they built themselves! Communication, check-in, and check-out could not have been any easier. Madlyn and David made us feel so very welcomed and at home from the moment they greeted us! They are both so very talented and interesting; you can't help leaving with fresh inspiration! The breakfast was absolutely delicious ~ what a wonderful way to start the day! When we travel to this area in the future we hope they will have an available room for us again!

Fabulous off-the-beaten-path location, great for a bit of country seclusion and warm hospitality.

The host canceled this reservation 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Promised Land Farm B & B is a gorgeous home/B&B on a gorgeous piece of property, in a scenic rural setting. Madlyn and David are so kind and gracious, as well as talented in and out of the kitchen! This is the first time my fiancé and I have ever been to a B & B. Promised Land Farm set the bar high! We stayed for Easter weekend while my son was visiting his dad in Springfield. We are from Kansas City, and had to arrive rather late in the evening on Friday night. Madlyn sent us very good directions that were easy to follow, even in the dark! (As a side note, our gps did give us correct directions to the destination as well, but Madlyn's directions helped to confirm that we were still on track, and added extra details that made finding the farm easier than with just a gps.) Madlyn and David were both awake and ready to greet us as we arrived. We were amazed and mesmerized at the sight of their beautiful home! After being shown where all the essentials were and chatting for a bit with Madlyn and David, we went to sleep. The bed was so comfy! We both slept so well on that bed!! Breakfast on both mornings was delicious! We really did not want to leave. The exceptional hospitality, cozy, beautiful accommodations and lovely scenery easily lives up to the name Promised Land Farm B & B! We will definitely be staying there in the future!

Jennifer and her husband offer a comfortable, welcoming, "at home" place to stay. Not a place for those who want the latest updates, but a place with a very comfortable bed and friendly hosts. They were so accommodating to us as a couple on a cross-country bicycle ride--access to laundry facilities and supplies, safe location for our bicycles, breakfast supplies, hot coffee & iced tea, and good visits.

Jennifer and her husband were very kind. The rooms were perfect. We would definitely stay again.

Jennifer is a gracious hostess. She was very helpful in every way. We had a most comfortable stay.

Jennifer and her husband made our stay easy, simple and stess free. We enjoyed our morning conversations and getting to know them. They are very kind and generous and would definitely stay with them again.

Jennifer was right there to greet us at the door. It was like visiting family. Jennifer showed us the house and invited to use all the rooms, kitchen and the den with the TV. She made us some hot tea and chatted over dinner. She then surprised us with a home made breakfast in the morning. We will fondly think of her over the holidays and will definitely return as we travel in that direction again.

My small family of 4 stayed at Lauren's relaxing country retreat and that was exactly what it was...RELAXING!! The setting was beautiful and very picturesque. A lovely pond, swing, rolling hills, creek, barn, etc. created the perfect setting for privacy and the enjoyment of nature. The kitchen provided everything we needed and the house was fun to stay in.

Very nice experience. The house is in a beautiful location and very quiet. When we arrived the house was warm and very clean. Would stay again and recommend to others. Thank you for a nice, relaxing place to stay, Lauren!

This house is secluded! I did not hear a car pass on the road until the second day we were there. So peaceful and quiet. Singing birds woke us up each morning!

i've been on a lot of dirt roads in my life, but this was one of the most picturesque. great host! great place!

This is a great place to stay. Excellent value. If you want to unplug and relax, this is the place to do it. Full kitchen, comfortable beds, excellent shower and bath. The house is surrounded by pastures. At night, sit out on the deck and look at stars and fireflies, listen to the frogs, crickets, owls and whip-poor-wills. Great spot for birding. I even was lucky enough to see the cutest Bob-White quail family! And an epic aerial battle between a red tailed hawk and two swifts. The house was spotlessly clean. I only stayed for two nights, but wish I could stay longer. It's close enough to Hartville where there is a grocery store, gas station and cafe with wifi, but isolated and removed enough to have privacy and solitude. Keep in mind, this place is RURAL, so if you have a problem with bees or cows or gravel roads or normal country surroundings, this won't be for you. But if you're ok with a country setting, this place is very nice.

We had a great family trip to Hope Springs Farm, everything was as pictured and described, which was awesome. The house was wonderful and worked well for a baby and a toddler! We had fun exploring the property and just relaxing. We did a lot of cooking while there as well and had everything we needed in the little kitchen. Lauren's communication was great every step of the way, she responded quickly to every question I had. We'd love to go back!

We stayed here for a girls weekend. We were all a bit stressed from active lives and this place is exactly what the doctor ordered! Tranquil, secluded and beautiful! The farmhouse has been redone, the private walking trails were wonderful and the lack of internet and phone is exactly what all of us needed. We all needed to go offline for a long weekend and this was perfect!!! We plan to go back next year :-)

The place was very private. Lauren was very flexible with our arrival time! It was great. The space was awesome. We enjoyed the tranquility. We had just come from a bustling city and the quiet was very much welcome. We had a great night sleep to rejuvinate for the rest of our upcoming drive. Thank you so much!!

The house was perfect. It was conveniently located right off the interstate with restaurants and gas stations close by.

Very clean Great place to stay Just bring your clothes and food This place has everything you need

Nicholas is a SUPER host and I would most certainly stay in ANY of his properties again. We were very comfortable in our home away from home. We all slept like babies!!! In the morning we enjoyed sitting at the table, eating bagels, drinking coffee, and looking at the beautiful back yard. The neighborhood is safe, quiet and convenient for everywhere we needed to be. Nicholas was super nice, attentive to any need we may have had, very quick to respond, and truly cared about our comfort and happiness!

Great location!!! Close to Springfield, close to Branson. Comfy beds and a quiet neighborhood. Garage parking was an unexpected bonus.

This home is a home away from home with warmth and comfort Alot of space quite neighbhood Very clean. Nicholas is an awesome host

One half of a new duplex, very comfortable and clean, quiet at night, good internet and great amenities. Very good communication from the host, and easy check in and check out. Highly recommended.

The place was great! It was well taken care of by the owner and nicely decorated. It had everything we needed and more. Access to the attached garage was a huge bonus. Nicholas was extremely nice and responsive when we contacted him. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip!

This place was everything it was supposed to be and more. Nicholas has a very nice place here, quiet neighborhood, well-stocked and very clean. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be looking at his other properties in Springfield in the near future. Five stars!

No puedo decir suficientes cosas buenas sobre Jamie y Amos y la cantidad de amor que han llevado a los Ozarks. Toda la propiedad es verdaderamente hermoso y la comunidad que han construido es aún mejor. Hay dos yurtas, una cubierta (ideal para el yoga - en una práctica segura de Jamie estaría dispuesto a compartir con ustedes), una cocina exterior impresionante, jardín, pollos, estanque, arroyo, y están trabajando en completar una casa verde! Las colinas y las estrellas se extienden hasta donde alcanza la vista. Estaré de vuelta a través de los años y no puedo esperar a ver cómo esta casa sigue creciendo.

Primitive dwelling on camp site; I just wish there was a comfortable place to sit or a hammock or something? We didn't end up hiking because the grass was high and we didn't want chiggers/tics. Neat campsite though, and cool house. Bed is not comfortable though; it's really like sleeping on the ground. Bring bug spray!

Loved the trees, the wildlife, the pond and spillway, the simplicity, the sunshine, the storms, the strawberries, the reminder that we truly need so very little in life, and the beauty of living somewhere where people still wave when they pass on the road.

Our stay was very nice. It's good to get away from things and have a family vacation.

Lu and Lee are great host. Very friendly and the baked goods were wonderful. A fabulous place to get "unplugged ". Really firm mattress. Really enjoyed watching the bird feeder.

I had the best time at the cabin! I went for a personal retreat to do some writing and get some space. The area is beautiful, Lee and Lu are super nice and the cabin had absolutely everything I needed in it - the value of what they are offering is amazing, about half the cost of everything I was looking at. Can't wait to visit again!

Lee was very helpful and welcoming. He provided us with great directions and a nice breakfast. The cabin was great. Very clean and nice inside and in a beautiful setting.

My mother and I needed a place to stay for a quick overnight in the area. Every amenity was carefully thought about and taken care of. We loved watching the wildlife from the porch as we relaxed until the fireflies came out. Comfortable, clean, and we were made to feel right at home by our hosts. Fantastic experience for this city girl!

Lee and Lu are the best hosts and the nicest people in the world. The cabin is cute and comfy and the location is perfect for anyone looking for a quiet getaway, but close enough to attractions to add variety.

Lu and Lee are wonderful. I am staying for an extended time and the cabin has been fantastic. Nice and quite. The blackberry pie was perfect and the cows are so sweet. The cabin is in a great location and the people are so friendly. Thank you so much for the great stay!
