River View Hideaway on the Little Missouri River

The property is designed for big groups and gave us some room to spread out. The driveway needed grading and was a bit tricky before and after the rain. The stove needed cleaning and the freezer was full of frost and didn’t seal well. The main ceiling fan never worked and no one ever came out to fix. The grill was cheap and was fine for four people but would not be big enough for any additional people. There were cobwebs all over the house and several big spiders in the house. AllOf this was disappointing.

The house was beautiful.The host answered all our questions within minutes.Plenty of room for our large family. Kitchen was well stocked. A 12 cup coffee pot and a kcup. The back deck and river was awesome. The grandchildren and adults enjoyed the river every day. The driveway is a little ruff but if you take it slowly its not a problem. Nice quiet area.

Another great stay!

We enjoyed staying here. We had 10 in our group and we had more than enough room. The river provided a relaxing view and there was plenty of privacy. We saw deer every day and had some pesky raccoons at night (they found the outside garbage can, which was our mistake and we corrected that after the first night). The description is accurate. We brought our Frenchton along and she was very happy.

We were super excited about the river house based on previous reviews so let’s start with the good: Loved the location of the hideaway a great place to really unplug and about 15- 20 minutes from the crater of diamonds. The house is gorgeous, loved the big kitchen island. My kids enjoyed fishing in the river and caught a couple of small fish. The grown ups enjoyed sitting on the deck looking at the river. All the rooms had TV’s. Owner was quick to respond to questions. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything one might need to cook/eat. Now the bad: almost every recliner in the living room is broken, you can sit but they don’t recline. There was no canoe, which we were really looking forward to. The bbq pit has a huge hole in the bottom and barely gimped through us grilling without the bottom completely falling out. The oven was coated with a layer of dirt topped in some burned bits and was totally disgusting which I had to clean before using, the dishwasher was mildewed and had old food sitting in the bottom of it so the smell was gross, so we did not use it. The gasket/seal to the freezer is busted so it is always frosted over and constantly dripping on the frozen things inside. Both bathtub drains were clogged with hair, the towels are ratty and smell mildewed. Half of the beds didn’t have mattress protectors and had gross stains all over them. Overall would I stay here again? Yes, the house just needs some things replaced and some maintenance done.

This trip was a treat to our parents for their 50th anniversary. It has been a few years since we’ve had a family vacation since all us kids have grown up. Myself, my husband and step son, my sister, my other sister and her daughter, and my parents made up the group. Ages 7-73. The cabin was exactly as described (except they didn’t have the air hockey table as pictured it’s now a shuffle board, we were a little sad about that). However the fact that my elderly parents didn’t have to climb stairs to do anything besides go to the dock overlooking the river (which wasn't bad for old knees) was great! After the second night when we discovered endless hot water it made night time routine for all 8 of us a lot easier. The river was flowing a bit too swiftly for our liking to go splash around in especially when my niece isn’t the strongest swimmer (there was a life jacket and old rope swing rope tied to a tree we debated about using.) there was oars but no boats of any kind. The place was clean and welcoming and the provided directions got us directly to the cabin (as long as you used the address, not the house name we found the hard way lol). If we ever decide to make the 7-12 hr drive (from Chicago area and Nashville, TN areas) we would define keep this cabin in mind. It was plentiful in charm and room for a large crowd. 10/10 recommend! Only aggravating thing was the dishwasher does not do a good job of cleaning dishes and we ended up having to hand wash everything.

Keurig needed descaled. Freezer was frosted over. Other than that, it was great for our family reunion. Poured rain heavily for days, so the road was badly rutted, but we managed to all get in and get out..

The address is correct on the listing but the directions the lister had where confusing. Arrived at one of the wrong cabins and tried calling the number on the listing three times like suggested and no answer or call back. After finding the right house everyrhing was ok. We had to sign into our own roku accounts to watch movies. One tv was zoomed in and was unwatchable in one of the bed rooms. Another bed room the ceiling fan wasnt working and one of the upstairs room lamp wasnt working. The rules said something about a canoe but no canoe was around to be found. Couple wires hanging in the commons area out of the wall. Seen radio speakers in the ceiling but didnt see a radio at all. The freezer needs defrosted. The smoker was unusable due to the door of the fire box was rotted off. The big led light that shines on the back deck was not wroking. The rooms were nice and comfy everything else was great. House was very nice open and as a family we had a wonderful time. There is trout in the river behind the house and the water was great to swim in. Will recommend this place for people who are looking to go to that area. Also the last step on the deck going to the river needs another step added. Also the driveway to the house needs attention due to the rain washing part or it out. Great place great looking house awesome location in my opinion.

We were blown away by this property. The cabin is more than we could have dreamed. They put allot of thought into the construction. I would sit on the deck overlooking the river every morning and evening to watch the sun rise and set. I would walk down the steps to the river to catch some fish. Small mouth bass, trout and sunfish were plentyful.we saw deer and rabbits in the driveway every morning, and all the birds you could imagine. It was a great place to come back to everyday after diamond mining, quarts mining or hiking the nearby trails.The owners responded quickly to any and all questions. they had all the supplies you would need during your stay.We will be visiting again with our grandkids.

Our family of 2 adults and 9 children stayed from Friday to Sunday. The first blessing is that our children could play as normal and we did not have to think about neighbors in the room next door or even the house next door getting mad. Second, it is SO PEACEFUL out here! We did not use the canoe, though it is offered. Every room was fantastic in this cabin. We highly recommend this place.

This was the perfect getaway for us! We traveled with 4 teenagers, and they had a blast exploring the area and fishing. The house was the perfect size and very clean and updated. Comfy beds and spaces. Would return!

The cabin was gorgeous and the outside patio, where we spent most of our time was perfect. The deck out by the water was great. Everything we needed was avaliable. We hope to go back in the future. We had great family great together . Ty to the Tates for having such a beautiful place.Utureut

Location was fantastic on the Little Missouri River. The cabin was awesome. We had a great time!!

Wonderful setting, roomy, rustic and beautiful. Hiked trails and caught a lot of trout until they opened spillway due to floods the day before. Loved the garage door feature opeing from inside to outside. Everyone was very happy with this trip!

Let me start off by saying we loved a lot about this house but the things we did not like drove down our rating. Communication with the representative was great prior to booking. Once we booked it was harder to get a hold of. Once we checked in they only responded 1 time to us about items that didn't work. Their response was " Thanks for telling us". The towels stunk like they sat undried for a while then dried and folded. The upstairs TV was broken and would not turn on. We wanted to watch Christmas movies up there while we played games. The freezer needs to be defrosted and a few doors to bedrooms, bathrooms and closets would not close. I didn't bring the right tools to shim them in order to close properly. If these items are fixed my family would love another trip here. The house is perfect for a getaway without being bothered. This could easily be a 5 star house and it should be. Cell service in the house is sketchy but that did not bother us.

We enjoyed the space that this property has. It was not very clean. There were baked potatoes in the oven that were starting to rot. The property is beautiful but just doesn’t seemed to maintain very well.

Beuatiful house and a very peaceful setting. Would rebook! Our family oved it.

We didn’t find any diamonds at the field but we found a gem in the house we chose . It was absolutely stunning. And to find out the owner cut the trees and milled them himself and built the house made it even more special. We would definitely go back again.

This place has everything you’ll need to have an amazing stay! 5 stars!

The house and property are perfect for a peaceful, beautiful and relaxing vacation! Everything was fabulous, we will be back.

We all had a great time staying at this amazing place. The house and outdoor areas are all beautiful and really made our trip perfect. We all enjoyed going to the Crater of Diamonds State Park and it was even better coming back to such a nice place. Will definitely be back?

It’s a very good hideaway, spacious, loved hanging out on the deck while the children played in the river.

Thanks, we had a great time!

We really enjoyed our family weekend. The cabin is beautiful and the river view is gorgeous. Several large spiders and roaches were found during our stay At the front entrance there were a couple large wasp nest. please consider spraying for pest control.

We enjoyed our stay! The seclusion was what we were looking for and this place didn't disappoint. We spent a lot of time on the patio and deck since the weather was perfect and the views were great. The house accomodated all of my family without us feeling cramped. We should have booked a few more days! We would definitely stay here again.

If you are into private woods and cold waters, this is for you! We had a deer family visit along with squirrels and birds! Fishing with worms gave us some small fish. Lures didn't work though. Can't wait to come back!!!!

beautiful property with great views of the river! lots of room for a family. be prepared to unplug as cell service was spotty at best. not a problem for us; we appreciated the break! owner's communication was really good & helpful. we enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again.

Our stay was amazing. Would definitely stay again!

Great location, clean, and a nice break from the day to day!

Lovely property and very beautiful setting. Directions to property were a bit sketchy but we did find it!! Would recommend highly!

Amazing property located in a serene location. Clean and beautiful inside and out. Close to all the major locations you’ll want to visit. We ended up just enjoying the cabin for a whole day because of the location instead of going out and about.

Very restful, house has plenty of space for everyone to spread out.
