Guys, you’re invited to join us for a getaway to the country.
We’re again headed down to the Ozark Mountains near Lesterville, Missouri.
The fresh springtime air and the crystal-clear waters of the Black River flow right beside the property.
Besides dining with friends and spending evenings by the fireplace, there are more activities than I can count. On Saturday, we enjoy attending the free Arcadia Valley Mountain Music Festival.
This is an easy drive destination (less than 2 hours from St. Louis).
The cost is reasonable with their all-inclusive pricing, which covers accommodations, breakfast, lunch, appetizers and dinner.
Mitch and I will arrive on Friday, May 16, and depart on Monday the 19th (3 nights).
Choose the nights that work for you and make reservations, as they have a very lenient cancellation policy.
Hint: If you book a Hilltop cabin, try to get an upper unit since walking to the downstairs unit can be challenging.
