This place is a great little getaway a few hours away from the St. Louis area for camp camping. There are tons of options with cabins with Jacuzzi, permanent cabins, and little houses as well to rent. When we arrived at check-in, it was super easy to get checked in and everyone was very kind. They have a store with some small items if you forgot anything. The owners live on site and they let me and my kids go visit their puppies and play in the puppies area/run house. They are very kind and spoke to us often throughout. They even offered to go to the store to pick AA batteries for us and a couple other things instead of us going to the store and purchasing it from them directly that was very kind and going above. The only reason for the four star is, I did call them to get additional towels for the cottage house we rented. Whoever answered the phone had hesitation in their voice, and seemed annoyed that I was asking for extra towels. They asked how many people were in our party because they saw a lot of people.kitchen told them yes we rented the cottage house +3 primitive cabins we had a large party, but we were not over using any space. He thought hesitation in his voice and I explained to him we only had two towels and he was more than welcome to come check if he doubted us he said oh that's strangely usually put four or five in the house I said well, they didn't then they offered to bring more as much as we all spent for the entire weekend. It was a little frustrating how we were treated in that specific scenario. They had paddle boats you could rent and we rented two. It was a decently priced 35 for four hours. They also have horseback riding and a couple other things that you can pay additional for. The cottage was fully stocked. The primitive cabins you do have to bring your own linens, which is clearly stated read more

The grounds at Spring Lake Ranch are genuinely beautiful. The lake is gorgeous, peaceful, and seemed like a great spot to unplug in nature. However, my check-in experience was incredibly frustrating and ruined the trip for me. Upon pulling up to the Country Store (exactly as the check-in instructions stated), one of the property's loose farm dogs (a Great Pyrenees) began barking and jumping repeatedly on my vehicle, leaving behind scratches down to the primer. I stayed in my vehicle with my dog (who remained calm and quiet) secured in the backseat, as I didn't know if the loose dog was friendly. When the owner, Jonathan, came out, he put the dog up but loudly began blaming me for the damage, stating I should have gotten out to stop his dog or moved my vehicle elsewhere. He made multiple excuses and was very dismissive of the fact that my property was damaged by his unleashed animal. Jonathan ended up walking away and a different man asked me to go inside to check in. Flabbergasted, I proceeded with the check in process even though I didn't get an apology or any concern for what happened or how I'd been treated. The entire ordeal, including the hostility, really just ruined the stay for me and I ended up leaving early the next day. I did get an initial text from Johnathan apologizing and he offered to give me a free next stay and pay for buffing the scratches. I declined another stay, and notified him that I buffed out most of the scratches, but that some had gone through to the primer. I told him I would take care of it and I was not going to send a bill. Dragging this on further, he sent another message attempting to blame me again. This time claiming that my window being cracked a few inches is what caused his livestock dog to bark and scratch my doors. The constant blaming and complete lack of accountability for a guest's damaged property was unacceptable. It is a beautiful property, but proceed with caution, and be prepared for loose dogs and a defensive, unprofessional, owner. read more

Booked Treehouse #2 for a birthday trip with the husband and kids. Absolutely STUNNING views. Plenty of things to do - fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, s'mores, swi and the peaceful sound of nature! If you don't have cellular signal, there is free wifi on site - but I doubt you'll wanna be plugged in with this beautiful scenery. The treehouse was spacious, fully equipped with all I needed for a weekend getaway, grill available, clean jacuzzi for post dinner spa experience, and a store on site (well priced) for last minute forgotten items. Ashley from the front was so kind and helped us navigate thru the farm. We did horseback riding with Jonathan and he did an AMAZING job teaching my family and I how to ride - what a wonderful experience! I cannot wait to book our next trip out here. I love that this is a family owned business. I cannot express enough my appreciation for this establishment. Thank you all for providing such a wonderful experience! read more

Rv sites are not as pictured. Too small and stacked on each other. Barely enough room to park the camper. The roads are terrible too. The lake is pretty and it appeared to be more of a wedding venue with the lodge and cabins which were probably better than rv sites read more

We love staying at Spring Lake ranch! We've come up a few times to stay in the treehouses. There are beautiful lake front views, the tack shop is fully stocked if you find yourself in need of anything, and the staff is so friendly & helpful. read more

The most incredible vacation experience of my life. If we could give 10 stars, we would. We stayed in Tree House #1, High Hopes. A Tree House! With a Hot Tub! The views are incredible and there's always something new to see or do. We canoed on the private lake, swam, went on two incredible horseback rides, walked miles and miles of trails, met the goats and turkeys, watched the bison, hung by our campfire, soaked in our hot tub... I wish we could live here. The staff and owners are all incredibly kind and very proactive in dealing with any requests or issues. I think going anywhere else on future vacations will be a let down now. read more

What a cool spot for a weekend get away! As they say in the listing, it's a working ranch, so there are crowing roosters (but they didn't wake me up at 5am), horses, goats, even a cow on our front "yard!" Great to just walk the land a bit or watch sunset over the dock. The cottage was perfect size for a 2-gal getaway, but a family of 4 could make it work too. The appliances and finishes all look like they were just done in the last couple of years. I would have liked a more complete kitchen set, but I'm guessing not a lot of guests cool as much as we planned to. The tree house would be awesome for our next trip and they have plots in the land you can just camp on. Would totally recommend this spot to anyone looking to travel but be away from people or fuss. It was also closer to assume mid Missouri park walks. We loved Johnson shut ins and driving back through Caledonia for ice cream! read more

Poor customers service, good luck if you have an issue or problem ,they do nothing to help.

I drove from St. Louis to Potosi (90 minutes) to take my grandson horseback riding. We had horses when I was growing up and I am an experienced rider. I'm older now, and overweight. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get up on the horse, but was willing to try. When the owner saw me, he said, "I'm not sure we're going to be able to get you up on the horse." I told him I understood, but asked if he was willing to let me try. He said yes. I got onto the horse (no easy task) and was about to get myself situated in the saddle, and the owner told me I couldn't go on the trail ride because he was afraid I wouldn't be able to balance myself in the saddle-he didn't think it would be safe. He continued to give me reasons until I told him to please stop explaining because he was making me feel terrible. His response? "That's life." He was mean, rude, and unprofessional. I understand his need to consider safety and liability issues. However, it became clear he had no intention of letting me ride from the start. He should not have told me I could try to get up on the horse if his mind was already made up. The way he treated me was inconsiderate, disrespectful and unnecessary, especially in front of my grandson. I hope anyone considering horseback at Spring Lake Ranch thinks twice and finds another place to ride. read more

We decided to try this location instead of Lake of the Ozarks because it seemed quiet and peaceful. Spring Lake Ranch is more of a weekend getaway than a week long family vacation. The beach is small and cute. We had Zero luck fishing in the lake. We tried different times and different baits with no luck. This was the main reason for this vacation. The swimming pool is only available to guests who rent the 6200 square foot Lodge. We paid $50 for WiFi access. We did get to pet the horses. There were chickens and rooster. A large goat. And a few barn cats that were very friendly. The staff were very nice. read more

This place is AWESOME! I dont know how I just found it but I'mso glad I did. Staying in a cabin with hubby and 2 kids. The cabins are gorgeous and so clean. Bathroom/shower house very close and SUPER CLEAN! I've never seen camping bathrooms like this. The family is awesome that owns this little slice of heaven. Went horseback riding and the 2 boys that led us were super sweet. Trail was incredible, well worth the money! I want to stay longer and come back soon. This place is definitely a hidden gem! We will be back!! read more

I went to a conference there and had a great time. Excellent facilities. The lodge is beautiful. You can get instructions for horseback riding. A large swimming pool, or you can swim in the lake. Fishing. Boating. I saw a buffalo, cattle, sheep, heard the rooster, beautiful landscape. Wonderful people to assist you have a refreshing experience in nature. You can set up a tent or stay in your RV; stay in a cottage or a cabin, or stay in a deluxe treehouse. I'm sure I'm forgetting things, but a great experience all around. read more
