Ellen's Log Cabin with Hot Tub ~ Located Minutes From The Upper Meramec River
Ellen's log cabin is 2 and a half story's. It starts with a large covered porch that looks over the valley, a great place for your morning coffee. Walk into the living room with a cathedral ceiling and stairs that lead to the loft. The loft is where the master bedroom is located with an en suite bathroom. Back to the first floor is a full kitchen with a large walk out deck that is actually in the trees. This deck has a large table for outdoor eating and charcoal BBQ grill for grilling. Remember to bring charcoal and lighter fluid. The lower floor has 2 bedrooms, family room (which doubles as another private bedroom) and full bathroom. From the family room you walk out to a private lower deck with a hot tub and seating. A fire pit is in the back yard surrounded by woods, very private. Do not worry about where to buy the wood for your fire, we provide it with your cabin. We rent Ellen's by the bedrooms needed. The more guest, the more bedrooms set up with linens and towels. You do not share the cabin with strangers. The rate you see here is one of our seasonal rates for a couple. Additional guest is $25. per guest per night. We offer the couple rate so, a couple can come and stay without paying for all the bedrooms.

Perfect!
This was a perfect and beautiful cabin for a couple of days and peace and quiet. It would also be perfect for a lot linger because this place is huge with three levels, three bathrooms and two bedrooms. I was literally in awe of how amazing this cabin looked when I first walked inside. The kitchen and living room are massive for a cabin like this. I would absolutely stay here again!

Bestfriends' weekend away
Booking a place that has basement (lower level is how it is phrased on the listing) bedrooms was my mistake and I will never do that again. Too many bugs and spiders, living and dead, in those basement bedrooms.
Fire wood was supplied but you needed to haul it from the front parking area to the very back by the fire pit, which was not an easy.
The kitchen needs a very deep clean. Everything was dirty. Don't open the lazy-susan cabinet, it's filled with dirty dishes and years of crumbs. Their were 3 spatulas to choose from depending on you wanted stuck to them. Choose from egg, possibly cheese and melted plastic spatula. I'm glad I washed the silverware because the spoons left brown marks on the sponge! Also when I cleaned the kitchen table that has a ripped table cloth on it, my Clorox wipe was brown. I don't think any surfaces were wiped down anywhere in the house. The upstairs bathroom had an orange puke splatter on the side of the tub but the basement shower had a rusty drain, so pick your battle.
The front porch was nice as long as you kept a close eye on the ladybugs trying to share your coffee. As for the description of "overlooking the valley", you have to walk to the road to see any part of the valley. You can not see the valley from the front porch. The hot tub smelled like fish. The inside of the hot tub was slimy. That tub needs to be shocked, scrubbed down, and the water needs to be balanced.
ENITRE HOUSE NEEDS A DEEP CLEAN!!
Would not recommend this place.

Peaceful and relaxing
The cabin getaway was just what we needed. Secluded, quiet, and peaceful, but close enough to town for some antiquing! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and large enough for all 6 adults and one dog. We really enjoyed the large front porch and back deck for morning tea and evening drinks. .

Lovely cabin
We stayed three nights in the cabin and had a nice time.
The hot tub was great. The only complaint is the lighting. The living room lights were too dim to read by and the kitchen overhead lights did not work making it too dark to cook.

The cabin was cute, spacious and cozy! Plenty of room for us to spread out. The flowers out front were beautiful and the grandson enjoyed the little pond of goldfish. Area was quiet and scenic, close to the river and town. Nice amenities -- fire pit and hot tub (did not get to use the hot tub as it rained on our weekend).
One thing that could be improved was the thoroughness of the cleaning. The master bath's vent was clogged with dust, and the ceiling fan over the bed was covered with dust. We also fought black ants in the kitchen.
Enjoyed our stay in spite of the rain but thought the level of cleaning needed improvement.

Peaceful get away
We were wanting to take our dogs floating on the Merrimac river and this may be our new favorite spot to go. We got in very late, but luckily the check in process was easy, so it was not an issue. The cabin itself is very cozy. It is a quick drive to Adventure Outdoors (which is where we rented canoes from). We finished our trip with steaks on the BBQ pit and a relaxing night in the hot tub. The front deck is also a very peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sun rise. We feel very relaxed coming home. Thanks for the great stay!

Cindy was so easy to work with! She allowed me to check in early and showed compassion for my problem at the cabin. The hot tub is amazing! And my favorite spot was the front porch. Listening to the koi pond and watching the butterflies! I recommend this place!
