Intimate and Inviting 2 bedroom cabin with Hot Tub and Private River Access

Intimate and inviting, Sassafras Cabin combines the rustic adventure of a classic hunting cabin with the warmth and comfort of a cozy mountain cottage. With two serene bedrooms, a private hot tub on the porch, and peaceful views of the surrounding rolling hay fields and the sparkling Meramec River beyond, Sassafras Cabin is the place to hang your hat when you want to truly relax and soak up the surrounding breathtaking beauty of the Ozarks. 

A Lovely Living Space for the Whole Family
Surrounded by towering mature trees, the modest facade of Sassafras Cabin includes a covered front porch and hot tub. Once inside, the main living area features two super-comfy overstuffed sofas with plenty of space for everyone to snuggle up in front of the fireplace. A large HDTV is mounted above the flames for a perfect family movie night with a big bowl of popcorn. Gleaming hardwood floors, stone walls, and knotty wood paneling add to the magical mountain cabin vibes.

An Open Kitchen and Dining Area
The kitchen is wide open to the living space, which is ideal for families and groups of friends that want to enjoy some snacks without sacrificing any socializing time. Natural wood cabinets surround the full suite of premier stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and electric range. The kitchen island has some casual bar stool seating for four, while the nearby dining table has seating for four more. This is the ideal space to flip a stack of fresh blueberry pancakes while waiting for the morning coffee to brew, or prepare some snacks to take on the hiking trails. 

Two Blissful Bedrooms
The two bedrooms offer a tranquil space to recharge at the end of the day. Each bedroom has a comfy queen-size mattress set into a rugged log bed frame. There are also bedside lamps for reading in bed and ceiling fans overhead for comfort. The full bathroom features a jetted soaking tub and a separate step-in shower. There’s also a pull-out sofa in the living room for additional flexible sleeping space.

An Idyllic Location on the Meramec River
Outside on the covered porch, there’s a perfect spot for an alfresco meal in the warmer months, and a charcoal grill for barbecuing and roasting marshmallows for dessert. Nestled on an idyllic 16-acre spread in the magical Missouri Ozarks, guests of Sassafras Cabin also have access to a communal riverside pavilion that houses a smoker, bbq grills, bar, hanging firepit, and a large deck. Spend your days hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or paddleboarding on the river, and your evenings sipping cocktails under the stars by the firepit. Sassafras Cabin is the place where true laid-back ozark mountain relaxation comes to life.

Perfect Stay!
We loved the Sassafras cabin. It was perfect for our friend float trip weekend. Everything was clean and had all the needed essentials. Close enough to town to visit grocery store and restaurants but also in the country setting. We used Kickin’ K floats for our float trip and it was great to end at the cabin property and not have to drive after a day of fun on the river. We also stayed at the Dogwood cabin which was within walking distance so perfect for our group of 10. Will definitely stay here again.

Property was remote and very peaceful. The site was very clean and well maintained. The outdoor furniture was very clean and sturdy and came in handy for the 2 very warm nights we stayed at the Cabin in late February.

We got a little confused on location. Google maps failed us that night but travel and being dark out when we arrived really made it hard to see. Place was quite, beautiful, clean and cozy. We had a very nice stay.

Quiet & Cozy
Great place for a relaxing weekend away. The view was beautiful and we enjoyed the hot tub on the cold autumn evenings. I think it would be ideal for 4 people. With 6 (2 were kids), it felt a bit tight and maybe not worth the "additional guest fee".

Wonderful cabin!❤️
Loved this adorable, quaint cabin! Perfect for me, my husband, two teens and our lab! It was clean, cozy, comfortable and had all the items needed in the kitchen to make a meal. You have to drive/walk to river access, but it's only a couple minutes just down the road (two great spots) and it's easy to get in and out. It was secluded enough to feel like you're away from everything, but also close enough to town to run and grab groceries, or other needed items. We met the owners and they were so friendly! We got a little lost at first coming in, so make sure you look for the signs that direct you to Murphy's Place, 4J Vacation Rentals property (Sassafras Cabin). It might be helpful to have exact directions sent once you book the place....since it's situated pretty far back from the road. Such a wonderful get away! We will be back for sure!

Christmas getaway
My family and I decided on an experience instead of too many presents this year. We definitely had an experience- fishing and hiking on Christmas day, thanks to perfect weather and a beautiful location. The Sassafrass cabin was a comfortable fit and had all we needed. There was even a Christmas tree! We highly recommend this stay.

Amazing!!
Everything was outstanding! Clean, quiet, private and that hot tub!! We had an amazing time reconnecting after 15yrs together. And I’m so grateful we found this beautiful property! Next time we will share it with the kids and I will pet that pretty horse down the lane! We will be back for sure!! Side note… I think I might have a new obsession for cows! Watching them live there best life on this farm is refreshing to see! We loved every second there!

I have zero complaints about our stay and the property and couldn’t even find a complaint we tried. Crystal answered all questions we had quickly prior to our stay. The property was very clean and maintained very well. The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was tastefully put together and had all the perks and amenities we would want. Our expectations were exceeded and we highly recommend booking with Crystal. We will absolutely be coming back this summer.
