Take it easy at this unique & tranquil getaway. Nestled in the sleepy little town of Hematite, Missouri, Creek View Cottage is located within a 10-acre property known affectionately by the owners as Happy Camp. Stretched out beside almost a mile of shoreline on the spring-fed Joachim Creek - nature lovers will want to explore! Cool your feet in the creek while soaking up the sun in an Adirondack chair on a gravel bar, Campfires, BBQ Grills, Kayaks, Cooler, - come Relax & get your 'Camp' on! The space Happy Camp is a Hobby Farm for the Joy of it! Empty nesters decided to rewrite their lives and move out to the county on the water and raise chickens, guineas, dogs, and rescue barn cats. Once a residence, then a chicken farm turned private mobile home park, the property is now being refreshed into a park-like camp with unique overnight stays to check off your bucket list. This property offers the opportunity for getting back to nature with limited electronics, almost no wi-fi ;), plenty of fresh air, BBQ’s available for use, incredible water view and access, and the chance for a cozy, nighttime campfire. (There’s also an outdoor shower and Porta-potty for the full experience! - this is not required - there is all the normal plumbing inside the cottage :) Guest access Plenty of space to park you personal vehicle or rental car. Other things to note The animals on the farm are friendly and free range, so there will be fur and feathers along with the normal great outdoors experience. We are out in nature and this is a "Glamping Experience" - so the occasional fly, spider, insect, or other bug may get in the cottage, especially when the door is left open for extended periods of time. Promise we are not So Far out, there will be absolutely No Velociraptors or T- Rex on property or in the cottage during your stay ;)
