🔝❤️ PEACEFUL TREETOP COTTAGE

Tired of the hustle and bustle of daily life? Come let us spoil you in our fully-equipped cottage up in the trees. Unwind to nature's sounds from your private terrace while planning a trip to one of the nearby State Parks or local wineries.

This is the best private lodging in the area, filled with personal touches and serves as a great base for romantics, hikers, bikers, divers, winers and diners wanting to explore the natural beauty of the Ozarks.

The place is perched among 16 acres of secluded forest enveloping the maintained grounds, which offers all the solitude you need to swing the hammock, grill on the private deck, picnic under the tree canopy and light your fire. Yes, it's true, we supply free firewood, marshmallows and so much more for you to enjoy.

Plenty of shaded parking available, with enough space for a trailer. Also, lots of room for primitive camping.

Cottage is a separate building from our house, so guests will have the run of their place without worrying about disturbing or being disturbed.

Our guests value their privacy, so we adjust our interaction to meet their needs. We are always available by phone, text or email.

We also offer additional services such as meals, professional massages, access to hot tub, fitness and spa usage (European standards apply), tours, courses, intimate wedding services and vows renewal, etc... all for a fee. These services are provided to ensure the comfort of our guests, who are under no obligation to partake.

No public transportation is available in the area. There are plenty of quiet country roads and some good trails for bicyclists, motorcyclists and joggers. Shuttle services offered for an additional fee.

Owners are seasoned world travelers, willing to give suggestions on the area, or other continents. We love exposing world cuisines to America's heartland.

HOUSE RULES:
- Rule no.1: Enjoy! Everything in the cottage is there for you, to be used, so explore;
- No smoking indoors, please. Ashtray provided to be used on the deck when needed;
- Well-behaved, housebroken, groomed, crated pets or those with their own bed are welcome, but are NOT to be on any furniture at any time. They're welcome to experience freedom, exploring the surrounding woods, fields and creek. If you can't trust your dog off-leash, don't bring it. If your dog can’t be a good guest, you both will be asked to leave. Our dog has been attacked by visiting pets and it won’t happen again. $65/pet/stay (payable on arrival) to ensure the comfort of our pet-allergic guests;
- Private septic systems are only designed to process human waste and a sensible amount of toilet paper. Anything else and you will create major problems for everyone, including yourself. Therefore, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but the above mentioned should go down the drain. As proof we care about the comfort of our guests, we supply quality toilet paper instead of the recommended single-ply, but please use it responsibly;
- Living in the woods demands cohabitation with the living creatures whose home you share. Respect their privacy and avoid them, rather than killing them or destroying their shelters;
- We would greatly appreciate finding the place just as we left it for you to enjoy;
- If ever in doubt about anything, ask. We are always only one click or phone call away.

Very nice property for anyone looking to enjoy nature and peace. My fiance and I really enjoyed our stay. They do things a little different than most properties I've been too. In my opinion the communication was better and they seem to have a much healthier way of living than most. Very much enjoyed our stay

Quaint and cozy cottage among a breathtaking treetop canopy
Benka and Keith have created a safe, comfortable and welcoming space surrounded by nature with all of the comforts of home. The cottage is fully equipped and stocked with everything one could possibly want and/or need for a relaxing forest escape (we overpacked). No need to bring water, as they have a well with excellent quality water (and a Brita water pitcher to filter it, maybe unnecessary?). We recommend utilizing the hot tub as it provided a further level of comfort and relaxation, especially while it rained (it is covered and has an accompanying patio space). The sound of the rain and rolling thunder among the forest was hypnotic. My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary here and we both feel more connected and closer to each other following our visit. We enjoyed our time together here, more than our honeymoon. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us. Alina and Brian Alina and Brian

We needed a getaway, and boy did we get one! Read many reviews and most said “pictures don’t do it justice”, and I second that! Such a lovely cottage, and there are NO words about the attention to detail!! Absolutely amazing! The little extras, the added touches, homemade treats and welcome basket; not expected but so appreciated! Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the LONG list of extras! Such fascinating people! Wished we met Benka; but maybe next time because we will be back! Thank you again Keith and Benka! What a gem!

Every Detail Considered
Our recent 5-night stay in the Treetop Cabin was just what we needed. As a very busy professional couple, we came to Keith and Benka’s as a replacement to our planned anniversary trip to France. You know, Missouri/France, same thing. Actually, this trip, the hosts, the cottage and its amenities far exceeded our expectations and made for a wonderful, romantic, relaxing, and adventure-filled vacation. No stone was left unturned in the planning and setup of the cottage experience, including fire pit complete with S’mores kit. We highly recommend engaging in one of Benka and Keith’s meal EXPERIENCES. We consider ourselves “foodies” and rank the brunch experience as one of our best meals EVER! The hot tub nestled in the woods and Benka’s massage helped us to relax after days spent hiking and running at some of the state parks and conservation areas as recommended by Keith. Don’t miss the Village Country Store in Caledonia and the hike up to watch the sunset on Hughes Mtn. Lots of naps and quiet reading in the extremely clean and cozy cabin. Keith and Benka are amazing hosts and we are so grateful to have met them and learned about their lives and experiences.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cozy abode and the warm hospitality of our hosts as well as the amenities of the location. We loved the trail through the estate and our hosts wealth of knowledge about adventures in the area - our days were filled with excitement and our evenings were perfectly relaxing in the got tub. We wish we would have spent more time with all the options for relaxation available at the cottage!

Perfect weekend getaway
First, I liked that the property was not that far from "town" so to speak and it was very easy to find. The cottage is fairly close to the main house, but the door faces towards the woods for privacy. Easy access to the hot tub! (Our favorite part!) The place is cozy, perfect for two, and somehow, the kitchen had every utensil we needed since we love to cook and dine in. (Plus plenty of fresh spices from their garden.) Benka and Keith are so accessible and are fascinating people to talk with. I also enjoyed hiking through their woods.

Wonderful place and fantastic hosts!
This is a wonderful place to get away from it all and just relax! We stayed in the cottage for two nights in April 2019 for our 24th Wedding Anniversary celebration. It was a perfect weekend away! The cottage was very clean with lots of nice little notes and extras, including a lovely Welcome basket. There is an electric fireplace and LOTS of candles to make a lovely and romantic ambiance. We also included the picnic basket in our reservation and it was ready and delivered to us when we arrived; full of delicious food that lasted all weekend! Before we booked and then before we arrived, we found that the hosts are wonderful communicators and reply quickly to any inquires. They are very warm and welcoming and very accommodating. They also have quite interesting backgrounds and very interesting stories! We would love to just sit with them both around a campfire and just listen to them tell about all their experiences! They are very friendly whenever they see you, but give you your space and privacy, as well. :) The hottub is wonderful...the water feels so clean; very comfortable and relaxing. There is a hammock for two available to use to just rest and relax. We never got a chance to sit around the firepit, but it was stocked with wood and ready to go if we wished to do so! Their dog, Kora, is a fantastic guide dog on a walk through the trails on their property! She keeps her distance and is very patient as you stop to take pictures or just observe the lovely surroundings. Keith gives excellent directions and the trail is well groomed; but Kora gives a distant, but sweet reassurance that you are in the right place. :) I highly recommend this place! This cottage is clean, peaceful, and relaxing with hosts that truly care about your comfort. We plan to return! ~Joy & Rick

My husband and I spent 3 lovely nights in the cottage for our 18th anniversary and were delighted by the serene location and easy access to local hiking. The property was such a delight with its wooded forest and surprises along the paths including a wooden porch swing overlooking a moss-covered, rocky gulch. WARNING: the breakfast and 14-course dinner are not for the faint of heart! Be sure to avoid filling up on the delicious bread and pace yourself :)

One of the best ever!
We have been staying at B&B’s and VRBO rentals for most of our 50 years of marriage. My wife and I agree that Peaceful Treetop Cottage is one of the best ever. The place is neat as a pin, very nicely decorated, with literally EVERYTHING you need except the your clothes and food. We’ve never seen a place like this that has everything (and I mean everything) labeled for use...from towels for make-up removal to the remotes for DVD use. Keith and Benka are delightful people...the kind you’d want for relatives or neighbors, and you never feel you are imposing on them when you have questions or just want to chat. Their personal histories are fascinating. Look her up in the internet and you’ll agree. Their place is very restful and off the beaten path, yet very close to all the outdoor things we like to do. We have found a very special place and will return often when we go floating or just want to have some peace and quiet away from the city. Thanks so much to Kieth and Banks for providing such a lovely place. Phil & Mary

Wonderful Hosts!
The cottage is as described, nestled in the treetops, charming and comfortable. Our hosts, Keith and Benka, were most helpful and their life experiences are inspiring. We were in the area to tour and get to know the culture and natural ecology, and Keith and Benka helped us with that immensely. They have put together very complete information books on the sites, restaurants and stores in the area, and their personal suggestions turned out to be spot on. Thank you Keith and Benka for making our visit to the area so complete!
