The wife and I have made three trips to the area and have stayed at Gill Ridge. Twice at Koi Pond and once at Ellens cabin. The properties are always clean and stocked with plenty of towels, bedding and kitchen cookware. Lots of firewood for the fire pit and grills for outside cooking. Nothing beats laying in your hot tub aftef dark under the stars! Plenty of places to eat in the area and things to do for all ages. We will be back again for our next weekend get away.

Overall very nice place to stay. The hot tub was wonderful and the location is very quiet. The fridge was plenty large and the full stove and oven nice to use The house in general doesn't have a lot of lights, especially the living room area. Water pressure in the shower is low. A few short trim pieces weren't fastened down in various places. Overall, it is a very nice place. It just needs some attention and detail work to make it perfect.

It had been 2 years since we stayed last. The bed was very comfortable and we liked the new flooring. It still needs some upgrades, but overall, we look forward for another stay later. The hot tub needed cleaning and the epoxy coating under the water level was wearing down, causing some abrasions on your skin.

I really enjoyed my stay here, it was peaceful and quiet. The bed was super comfortable, I slept well. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, the goldfish pond is awesome, I also enjoyed using the hot tub. The river is close and there is a grocery store about four miles away in Steelville. I didn't go anywhere, was pleasant enough to just relax at the cabin.

This was a Great Lake type cabin. Nothing fancy but cozy. Hot tub was wonderful. Would have been nice to have shampoo, body wash, conditioner and maybe some waters at welcome since it was a short stay. There were mouse feces in one of the drawers in the kitchen but I wasn’t terribly surprised as this is a cabin in the woods.

Nice comfortable clean house off a quiet road. Kitchen had enough to get us through cooking meals without a problem (we did buy a cheese grater in town and left for future guests). Bed was comfortable and having the dryer in the bathroom made for warm towels! Water pressure isn’t great but worked for us just fine. Hot tub was ready when we arrived and had a good view of the sunset in the evening. Would definitely stay again.
