Murphy's Retreat on the Meramec River w Pavilion and Private River Access

Murphy's Retreat is a clean lovely 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath cabin. With 1 queen bed and two double beds with a queen sofa sleeper, this large home works great for groups of 8 to 12. House sets on 16 acres atop a bluff that overlooks a beautiful family owned Meramec river bottom farm. The charming rustic interior, comfortable accommodations, wood burning fireplace, and stunning views make this hunting lodge themed home a perfect place to get together with close friends for a relaxing weekend or extended stay. Wake up and relax with a cup of coffee on the back deck with views that often include eagles navigating the river, cows and wildlife grazing in the 250 acre river bottom, and mist rolling off the river as the sun rises above the ridge. A day at Murphy's Retreat can include floating down the beautiful Meramec river with Kick n K Canoe Rental or enjoying a more relaxed day at Riverside Pavilion sitting in the river, barbequing your favorite steak, or cooking pizza in our custom pizza oven. For those looking to forego the river fun; visit one of our local award winning wineries, explore Meramec Caverns, trout fish at Meramec Springs, or visit historic downtown Steelville. As the sun goes down, light a campfire in the fire ring or enjoy the hanging fireplace at Riverside Pavilion as you listen to the sounds of the river passing by.
