About this space
Welcome to "The Rusted Barn"! Nestled in the Missouri Ozarks just a stones throw away from beautiful Lake of the Ozarks and only a hop-skip & a jump from Truman Lake. "The Rusted Barn" is a labor of love designed to take you back to a simpler, quieter time. There are so many things to do including fishing, boating, water/jet skiing, hiking, horse back riding, homestead classes, mountain/scenic biking, para-sailing, antiquing or shopping in Osage Beach, Warsaw or even Bass Pro Shop & Branson.
The space
This cabin is a small house on the owner’s property that will sleep 6 people. It features an open concept floor plan, has a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, large enclosed porch area, and a private room with a jacuzzi bath tub. It also has a fenced in back yard with an outdoor table and chairs for 6 people, as well as a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and a charcoal grill.
Guest access
As a guest, you will have full access of the cabin, back yard area of the cabin, and your own area to park. The cabin is also just about 5 miles from lake access and boat launch area.
Other things to note

Beautiful!Needs a closet and a dresser for clothes. Needs hooks for wet items such as towelsCouldn't store luggage under the bed because of all the dust and tiny debris. NOTE: Beautiful place, and the family was wonderful. Be sure you don't want to go into town much, as it's quite a drive.

Barn Stay

We stayed at the Rusted Barn due to proximity to our desired boat ramp for spoonbill season at the Ozarks. Everything was adequate and ready for our arrival. The only issue (minor) we encountered was the beds were all super squeaky! If you're a light sleeper, be ready. We would still stay here again and it still rated 5 stars. The cookies on arrival were great!

Wonderful Getaway

This is a very clean and peaceful property. My wife and I stayed 2 nights and enjoyed every minute. It felt cozy with the fireplace going, and the bed was very comfortable. If you want to explore, there are options. It is a little bit of a drive to get to some places, but it was worth it. We took a tour of the Bridal Cave and had a great experience.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It was secluded and therefore peaceful, nice views of the countryside, and the owner was very pleasant. Easy to talk to, very creative in her crafts, all around good person.Will visit again soon!

The host is extremely inviting and welcoming. We feel like we found an old friend. Tammy puts a personal touch to everything. The home cooked meals we some of the best ever. And the cinnamon rolls were out of this world. We enjoyed having our meals brought to us at the cabin, never having to drive somewhere to find a good restaurant and fight traffic and crowds.

A quiet retreat

What a beautiful property! My wife and I loved staying there with our 6 month old daughter. And she loved seeing the horses that will come right up to the fence near the cabin. The hosts are so wonderful as well. Friendly and responsive, and makes an excellent biscuits and gravy, my favorite breakfast of all time. I highly recommend this cabin for a quiet getaway.

In love with this spot

My boyfriend and I came to stay for a lake weekend over the fourth, as our friends had a house 20 min out. We loved the rusted barn !! It was even prettier and larger in person, the pictures are beautiful and still don’t do it justice ! Our host Tammy was so lovely and welcoming, easily the best experience I’ve had with any rental I’ve tried :)) Our only regret was wishing we had more time to spend in the house as we ended up at our friends for most of the weekend - if you have a chance, definitely stay here !!
