Guest Reviews:

- "We enjoyed our stay at Big Oak Cabin. Just what we were looking for and we appreciated the recommendations from the host for our float trip plans. We enjoyed this quiet, private space to get away for a few days and enjoy time as a family. We hope to plan another visit soon! Thank you!" - "This place was perfect for what we needed: a nice, clean place to stay for a one-day float trip. There were 4 of us: two adults and two teens. The host was super easy to work with, we even had to shift our stay by a day, and since it was still available, she made the change for us within minutes. The cabin-house had all the supplies we would need: paper towels, trash bags, even baggies and plenty of spices to cook with. Coffee was also provided on a cute little coffee stand. We grilled after a day on the river and warmed up in the very clean hot tub (it rained most of the day on the river). The cabin was very cute and two bedrooms were in the open loft with a nice clean comfortable pull-out couch in living room. I would suggest maybe one more place to sit in living room such as bean bag or comfy side chair. I drank coffee every morning out on the wrap-around porch, enjoying the squirrels birds and rabbits. Check out was very easy as well. We would definitely return if we do another Ozarks float trip."

It’s secluded location is 8 miles from quaint Gainesville, MO, home of Hootin-n-Hollerin, in Ozark County on a well-maintained gravel road. Abundant wildlife abounds throughout the 90 wooded acres, and white-tailed deer can often be seen grazing nearby. You can enjoy the well-marked hiking trails and, if you are lucky and rains have come, relax by the natural waterfall. Either way, you are sure to be amazed at the unusual, volcanic-like rock formations found in that area. If you are the more adventurous type, you may choose to venture off the trails and explore the wooded area on your own. Or, you may want to visit some of the other attractions in the area, such as the grist mills, Caney Mountain Refuge, or some of the numerous lakes, rivers and streams for seasonal adventures in floating, fishing, swimming, or boating.
If you aren’t looking for adventure but just want to rest, relax, and rejuvenate, you have definitely come to the right place. The quiet, peaceful serenity of Ozark Hideaway is hard to describe.

Will be back in the future:)" - "This space was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our getaway vacation! It was peaceful and serene, with lovely views.

Wild trout retreat on the Ozarks’ wild North Fork River
House
Tecumseh, Missouri, USA

Trout Lodge Guest House
We have recently opened our new guest house located on our riverfront property on the North Fork of the White River in southern MO. The North Fork, as it is locally known, is the premier freestone wild rainbow trout fishery between the Appalachians and the Rockies, rivaling many anywhere else in the country. The rainbows are a well-adapted strain descended from the McCloud River rainbow strain originally stocked in the clear cold fast spring fed waters of the river in the late 1800s. Rainbows were last stocked in 1964, and have maintained a thriving, self-sustaining population since then. Rainbows from young of the year to 20” or larger are commonly caught. The MO Dept of Conservation also stocks brown trout that while spawning too early to maintain a significant stream-bred population, grow to trophy proportions in the favorable environment of the river. Browns from 17-23” are common, and individuals up to 35” or larger are caught by experienced anglers. Both fly and spin fishing are successful techniques for both rainbows and browns. A list of local guides for the river can be provided.

But trout fishing is not the only activity visitors enjoy on the North Fork. In the spring walleye, stripers, hybrids and white bass from Lake Norfork downstream make their annual spawning run up the North Fork providing great sport fishing. The spring striper run is one of the finest river striper fly fishing opportunities in the country. The upper stretches of the river provide an outstanding fishery for native smallmouth bass. In the spring, summer and fall, the North Fork’s numerous sporty fast shoals provide outstanding canoeing, kayaking and rafting opportunities.

We provide direct river access at our landing behind the main house for wading, canoes, kayaks, inflatables, etc. We cannot handle trailered boats, but will direct you to those locations that can. Access is limited on the river as many areas are private and canoe and kayak outfitters are limiting use of their landings. We will provide contact information for the liveries operating on the river.

The guest house is well-equipped for a few days or a week or two, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, comfortable plush furniture, full kitchen, washer and dryer, covered porch with outdoor table and chairs, Weber grill, rod or gun rack (deer and turkey hunters also welcome), wader hangers, and wader donning and doffing bench. Big screen TV, DVD/Blueray with WiFi connectivity for hot spot or Fire TV Stick, Sirius XM radio and bedside tables with device charging ports are provided.

Randy and Pat Huss

Guest Reviews:

- "The property is very nice and clean and the water access was great with plenty of fishing spots to access" - "We went for a short weekend on the River. The place we stayed was very nice and easy access to the river. The owners were very hospitable and answered all our questions." - "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our adult children and their significant others. Randy and Pat thought of everything when furnishing the place! It felt like home from the moment we walked through the door. Great information about the local area was provided prior to arriving which made trip planning very easy."

Deer and other wildlife often pass through the surrounding woods, and “The Maze” walking path just outside the front door invites quiet exploration. Guests are welcome to roam the seasonal fruit orchard and u-pick garden. Your host, a beekeeper across the road, offers honey tastings and shares a glimpse into beekeeping life. On arrival, enjoy a warm welcome with homemade brownies, fresh eggs, and local honey—just a few of the touches that make Shilo Farm feel like home.

YOUR LAKE ESCAPE AWAITS:
Whether you’re relaxing on the porch with a good book, exploring the lake, introducing the kids to farm life, or spending quality time with family, this peaceful retreat delivers the best of both worlds: modern comfort in a rustic, wooded setting—just a short drive from local adventures and natural beauty.

Guest Reviews:

- "This home was spectacular! All the furnishings were comfortable and there was everything we needed for a longer stay. The hosts live right across the road and were the sweetest people! Some of our favorite things were the deck and the shuffleboard table. We had fun family game nights downstairs. It was very peaceful in the Ozarks, with about an hour drive to family attractions like Branson and Silver Dollar City. We are looking forward to coming back to this home away from home!"

Guest Reviews:

- "Place was very clean had everything you needed didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit but we wanted to we will definitely stay there again" - "GPS is wrong- turn left onto private drive "Wiley Pass" and follow to the end. Quaint and quiet, fairly secluded, wifi is weak but available. Lots of wildlife and nature sounds. Loved the big yard plenty of outdoor seating for the campfire and grill area." - "Quiet and out of the way. Really nice place! I wish we could have stayed longer. Really enjoyed the fire pit which they laid out for us. I wish the instructions made it easier to find. It's not visible from the road and left us guessing where it was. For future visitors, go down the road marked Wylee's Way and it's at the end."
