Beautiful ♡
Beautiful home, cozy furnishings, well-manicured outdoor surroundings, and refreshingly NICE owner (shoutout to Brenda) whose prompt communication was appreciated. This home was just what my sisters, along with our husbands, were looking for. We loved the quiet atmosphere of the outdoors and the comfort of all being able to be together in one home. When disaster struck, and a storm damaged the home, Brenda immediately found different accommodations for our group. Therefore, we were not able to complete our stay in this home. I hope to return to Alma and stay in the newly renovated home some day in the future.

Family Weekend Away
Quick family weekend away with some RZR riding and trail hiking. This home was centralized to everybody and to our location for activities. If you are looking for a unique home with character, history, charm, and a view this is your place. Built in 1976 it has some great features and beautiful stone work! I will say that for a family with little children this is not for you. The metal spiral staircase, the drop living-room and dropped down fire place would be a little dangerous for little ones. However, if you don’t have little ones and want a country setting this is for you! Bedrooms are BIG and there is just lots of room! The back porch has a beautiful view and the hot tub is PERFECT! Not to mention the owners of this property! I have not met them but they are definitely people I would want to invite over for dinner. Wonderful communication and they just take care of everything!!!

It was everything we had hoped for, the hot tub was fantastic.
Starting our day with a cup of coffee outside was so comfortable, beautiful, and relaxing. We saw a fox and several deer everyday which encouraged us to sit outside and visit, hoping to see more while we enjoyed the scenery. The hot tub got a lot of use, we loved it. We felt very much at home and enjoyed our stay. We attended a family wedding nearby and had family from Joplin drop by to visit. I wish we could have stayed a little longer.

Relaxing and enjoyable stay!
Our family of four stayed at River Chase Whitetail Haven for a relaxing Thanksgiving, and it did not disappoint! We were greeted by deer in the driveway and it was easy to settle in. Even though the beautiful view was mostly obscured by the rain we had, it was still incredibly cozy and cleared up enough for us to use the relaxing hot tub. We had everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal and all of us were comfortable in our beds. There was lots of outdoor lounging space (both covered and open) and plenty of room for us at the dinner table and around the tv too. The internet was fast and allowed streaming but did blink out occasionally; however, it would only go out for a few minutes and then come back on by itself so it didn't bother us much. There are lots of stone stairs everywhere though, so if you have mobility issues or small children, you should take that into consideration. We loved the design of the house though! Any questions we had the owner responded promptly. I highly recommend this property!

Great Weekend Getaway
GPS got us directly to the property without issue. The host’s directions helped us find the driveway, without having to circle back around. Check-in was a breeze and the space was very comfortable. Everything was clean and ready for use as soon as we arrived. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable, so we all slept well (not always easy away from home). The hot tub was definitely the key feature for us and we spent every morning and evening in it. It did feel/smell pretty heavily chlorinated, so recommend a rinse after. We also enjoyed the provided Keurig and complimentary coffee - we did buy additional pods at the store. The kitchen had a large stock of high quality pans and pots for cooking, which was a nice plus. Would not recommend the property for young kids as there were lots of levels and narrow stairs. The main floor shower was also challenging to get into, it’s a tub but the sides are steps so you have to step “down” into it without a rail or guide. Not major, but could be a challenge for less mobile guests. There were a lot of flying insects around the property, including wasps. Not a host issue (no way to control it in the woods/country), so more of just a general FYI if that is a concern/issue. All in all, I rated everything 5 stars. The property isn’t truly remote as 2 other properties are in view, but you are far enough away to have quiet and privacy. Loved the cabin feel, even though the decorations aren’t my typical style. Would definitely return and relax again.

A friend and I took a short trip to just get away and relax. The location was ideal! Quiet, peaceful and the Hot Tub was amazing! The owner did such a great job communicating . The views were amazing, the history of the Alamo Mansion next door was interesting. Couldn’t have ask for anything more, except to be able to stay longer! Highly recommend this property.

Interesting stay
The house had a nice view of the lake and the hot tub was nice. Our stay overall was ok. The reason it wasn’t better was the location. The first impression was when we were driving into the driveway and are welcomed with warning and felony signs all over the abandoned house next door. This gave us a bad vibe and that continued in the house. We just didn’t feel comfortable with that next door and the sign of surveillance on the property. It just felt off. If that sort of thing doesn’t bother you the rest was a good stay.

Great Escape
We stayed at the property for a week. It was a great getaway and very peaceful. Make sure you clean up when you make a mess immediately. You are being watched. And don’t leave your things on the deck or they will get stolen. Other than that the place was extremely beautiful and I definitely recommend the location. There is a lot of pretty lakes nearby!

Great stay
The property isn’t as secluded as the aerial view online and there is no longer a fenced in yard it’s all open. You can see clearly two homes to your left and directly behind the property a few yards away there is a small apartment complex. The view from the back and from the hot tub is still amazing and the owners seemed nice (the only time we spoke was to check in and to see if we could leave a day earlier than planned, to which the answer was no, so finances are an issue for them in that situation). There was some free snack items that our kids appreciated and the cleanup upon leaving was minimal which made for a stress-less departure. It was clean and quiet and served all our purposes. Definitely request that the owner sprays for wasps outside the deck before arrival. It was a real issue with multiple unprovoked stings. Had I told the owners I’m sure they would have taken care of it. The outdoor charcoal grill was super nice and easy to use and they had it all ready for us which was great!

Good place for ATV riders
The house is older, but loved. Enjoyed sitting on patio in the evenings. The sunken living room was a little bit of a hazard for my parents. My dad nearly fell so we moved the coffee table to avoid accidents. We had atv trailers and the main entrance has a very steep hill with a blind curve so you need to be careful coming and going with a trailer. The location was nice for trail riding between Mills creek and Buckhorn trails. Being so close to Alma with the super Walmart and a car wash for the ATV’s was good too.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Our family really enjoyed our extended weekend getaway! The property was clean and well stocked. Ownership was very responsive to all questions asked. We enjoyed nights in the hot tub and star gazing. Learning about the next door mansion was wild and lead to ghost stories (note: no ghosts were sighted during our stay ) 😊. The interior design of the house has multiple levels/steps throughout (living room is lower than the kitchen, fireplace area is lower than the main living room, downstairs bathtub has steps leading up to it, and a spiral staircase leads to the upstairs), something to keep in might for anyone with balance/mobility concerns. We would definitely recommend this location.
