The girl that works here greeted me at my car and asked if I was staying. I reassured her I was. I think she was worried about a random car. She later knocked on the door and asked if we were taking their towels. Their towels and sheets all had stains, I hardly wanted to use them, let alone steal them. She said others had been stealing towels in the past, this was our first stay and it was only my girlfriend and I. We woke up in the morning to no hot water, not even warm. We asked another room and they had the same issue. When going to the main office, it was locked and nobody was around. This is a cheap stay but lacks any type of amenities you may be looking for, such as hit water and clean linens. Also, there were 3 cars broken down and being worked on in the parking lot.

This place was so bad that as soon as we got off Hwy 60 and I saw the building I said Dear Lord don…read moret let that be it and it was . There wasn't anything that worked right in the room and the carpet and everything else in the room looked like trash off the curb and there were pieces of baseboard missing in the room that gave you a good view of the spider webs in the walls. The front door didn't shut very good and didn't look very safe at all. There were spiders on the towels and in the shower like they had been there for weeks. They do allow pets to stay for an extra $10.00 a day but if you bring your dogs they will get fleas like mine did and you ll have to stop and dip them before taking them home again. The girl running the place said the owner is sick and never there and I can why. She was very friendly and helpful but that did not make up for us coming into town on a weekend and being stuck in a nasty place with no chance of getting another room some place else. I was also confronted by someone who had already spent on night there while in the parking lot and she said they had mice under their beds and that while they were across the street at the gas station someone had broke out their passenger side window while their suv was parked in the hotel lot. They were already in the second room they had been given at The Colonial Inn and they were leaving after driving 7 hrs for their vacation that was ruined by their experience with the hotel. I will be looking for a different hotel to stay at with my pet s the next time and I wouldn't recommend that anyone stay at this place. It should be condemned.

We have always stayed in the single cabins. The cabins are large and have plenty of room for our equipment. The cabin has a full bathroom, small refrigerator, TV with Dish Network and A/C. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. There is also large grassy areas to play yard games and wiffle ball in the evening. Although the cabins aren't right on the river, they are just a short walk away. We will continue to stay at Shady Lane during our annual float trips with friends.

Great view of the Current River. Bed was comfortable and room location was pretty quiet, surprisingly. Only downsides were the A/C was noisy and the faux wood floors were being cleaned with some product that made them kinda sticky. We liked the Kuerig coffee maker in the room along with the nice size fridge. Check in experience was good too with friendly staff. We made reservations with a phone call and all went to expectation. Their restaurant onsite is The Blue Heron and it was good as well. Overall we had a good experience and will likely stay again.

For addicts, booze and pot close by. Cons: typical noisy blowy HVac wall units, no house phone in rooms, no luggage help, walk to Rose Cliff Lodge for ice, no cooking or fires allowed anywhere, max. 2-story walk ups depending on room (no elevators), pricey, noise from big rigs on Hwy 60 bridge (less noise in River Center), no house computer, no playground/River here a bit fast for younger kids to play in. The biggest problem with this otherwise quality property was (officially anyway) a "no cancellation/refund/credit" policy. They don't charge your card until you check in, so it is unclear how rigidly enforced this policy is (+ there's a $15 cancel fee per room/day). We got flooded out over July 2025 weekend (Park Service closes the river if it gets over 6 feet - follow this on NOAA website/river level Van Buren MO). We elected to stay regardless (kids are more flexible and inventive than adults!) The Landing is highly dependent on the weather and have a limited season, so they really can't insure your stay. Still, they should have an official credit option for a future stay credit. In Van Buren: "The" Mexican restaurant serves huge good portions. The steaks at the Landing's Blue Heron come out mooing - you may need to have them touched up. Best breakfast is at the Ranch House. No nightlife. In area: Big Spring is spectacular, floating is worth the price, but best in a canoe unless you like cold butt (there's an enormous cave upstream from Van Buren), little funky animal park is pricey but fun for kids. For floating, IMHO the best stretch of the Current is Aker's Ferry to Round Spring, and do it in drought after July 4 for clear water and to minimize deer flies and horse flies.

So if you looking for a place to stay that feels like home this is the place. If you are going to call the best hours to get ahold of someone is 11:00am to 3:00pm .They have only two care takers there. So check out time is at 10:00 am .Check in time is 3:00pm so they are a little busy.
