Perfect girls weekend getaway! We stayed in the Dogwood Cabin and had a gorgeous view! The hot tub was our favorite feature. The cabin had everything we needed and was immaculately clean!

We had an amazing time, the cottage was very clean and comfortable! We felt at home right away. We never left the cottage the whole weekend and it was so relaxing! This was my 2nd time renting Copperstone cottage and will be renting again! Thank you!

Wonderful! Rain or shine, great time. View from back deck is priceless, nothing better to wake up to pasture of cattle in the fog with sounds of the river. Other cabins near but not too close, you feel like it is all yours to take in. Looking forward to returning and hopefully enjoy the pavilion near the river. Thank you for sharing your property with us!

This is was our 4th stay at murphys cabins. Each cabin we stayed In had its own unique decor. Our experience was great, as always. We definately will be back again. The owners are really nice and help is always immediate, if needed. A great place to stay

Love staying here. Stayed in Copperstone cottage this year. Cabin has a great view, place was clean and the bed is super comfy. Always enjoy visiting.

Hi all! We stayed at Copperstone Cottage & had the best relaxing weekend. The cottage was wonderful & the view off the back deck was even better. The place was very clean & inviting. Was very well stocked. Love the decor! Hiking, kayaking, floating, bird watching , playing in the river are just a few things around to do. We will DEFINITELY be back! Added a pic of our view off back deck. ❤️

The coperstone cabin was beautiful and so comfortable. The view off of the back deck was amazing. This vacation was so relaxing I'm sure we'll come back. I highly recommend it. ❤️

This place is fantastic. Out third stay and always eager to stay again. All of the staff/family that we have meet have been GREAT and accommodating. We floated with these guys this time and loved it. You will not be disappointed by spending some time here Mcelyea and Krankel families

We had an AWESOME time here. Place was very clean and well kept. Very relaxing country setting and the hot tub felt wonderful in the evenings. We love to float and hike, and will definitely be back later this year. Jessica was a great host and thanks for everything.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend! Everything was comfortable and clean, and we had everything we needed. Communication with the host was easy and she was accommodating and flexible. We will be back!

Absolutely LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF OUR TRIP!!!! Great place great people perfect setting!

Great people. We rented the Country Cabin and Hillside Cabin. Relaxing country view and place to spend some good family time. River access was fun and hot tub was nice and clean!

We had a marvelous time at Murphy's Retreat. We had a small family gathering and this was the perfect spot. It has plenty of room for several couples. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals, which we ate on the deck while watching the sun go down. The river is a short drive or walk away where we spent much time relaxing & floating. Kick-N-K was easy to work with for our canoe trip as well. We will definitely be back.

Loved our stay once again and look forward to going back!

Great cabins to enjoy the beautiful area. Comfortable, clean, and relaxing. We especially enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning. The river access is perfect and we loved visiting the winery down the road. We have rented the cabins before and will again. Our only complaint was the lack of coffee filters.

Dec 30, 2023 We arrived late at night and easily found the cabin we rented. When we woke up the next morning and took in the view overlooking the river, our spirits soared. There are amazing views and places to hike throughout the property. We honestly cannot wait to return with friends in tow. We are already looking forward to an early summer visit with our Labrador so we can swim and play in the river. Thanks Jessica for all of your quick assistance and hospitality.

I love staying in these homes,always a great stay,been vacationing here about 10 years,always impressed with the stays,thanks for having us again,see ya soon,Pam n jeremy

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at 4J. We have 2 other trips booked for the yr at 4J. We love the place and will keep coming back. The prices seem a little cheaper than other places for what you get, in my opinion, yet another reason we continue to book.

We love staying at the country cabin! Super clean, comfortable, and cute! The grounds are beautiful and so peaceful. It was perfect for a weekend stay. Jessica is a great host- available for answering questions when needed, and booking was super easy. We are planning on coming back to stay here again!

Beautiful view, clean cabin with great amenities. The access to the river, activities, and proximity to Steelville, Merrimack State Park, and St James is very convenient.

Fourth time back and definitely not the last. Relaxing secluded location. Perfect place to unwind and enjoy a beautiful setting. Owners are very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend this place.

Awesome trip, we’ll be back.

Loved seeing all the animals especially the goats! Such a cute place, very cozy and gorgeous views with everything you need for an escape from the city!

Absolute beautiful and serene location. Perfect escape and not too far from the city. Close enough to town for day exploring. Well kept and stocked and essentials. Look forward to returning.

The house and hot tub were just what we needed and what was expected from the site info. The added bonus of beautiful Missouri fall color, wild turkeys, really cute cows, an incredible long horn steer and Cinderella the ranch dog making us feel welcome made our stay feel a little magical. Thank you Justin and Jessica! We hope to be back!

Very peaceful!

This was a great get away for me and my husband! We were so excited to take advantage of the meat they offered from their farm. It was so delicious and we highly recommend it! Jessica and Justin couldn't have been better hosts. We look forward to our next visit and trying another one of the cabins available.

Nice cabin, wonderful weekend getaway to chill, relax, and have some fun.

Great experience, love the environment, great place to relax and enjoy mother nature. Definitely recommend 4J vacation rentals.😍

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Beautiful scenery with lots to do within a 30 minute drive. If you've ever considered renting a cabin don't think twice and book your reservations you will not be disappointed

We loved staying at Murphy’s we had a wonderful time and enjoyed every part of the house there was plenty of room for all 12 of us. The view of the river was amazing. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and for a cookout. We had lots of fun in the lake all the kids enjoyed that very much. Will definitely recommend it to everyone.

We stayed in Whispering Woods cabin and had a great time. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. It was secluded and really had the feel of getting away from everything. The hosts were very helpful and there to help with any questions or concerns. We’d love to come back when the leaves are off to see the view of the river.

Stayed at sassafras cabin. It was great cabin, clean, great decorations, and a beautiful view. The river pavilion was very nice as well and had everything we would need.

We had a wonderful time staying here!! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The owner was so nice, went out of her way to help us and quick to respond to our messages! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We will definitely be back!

The house was amazing had a wonderful time we talked to her before our vacation and during gave me directions 2 week before stay and before stay house was clean and well taken care of even communicated why we was there and after we left thank you for the awesome amazing stay very friendly

Very clean and comfortable accommodations, awesome location! We will definitely be back!

What a great little cabin. We celebrated our anniversary there. The bed was so comfortable and the cabin itself was clean as a whistle. Quiet location with a great view. I loved that firewood was provided. We were only there 2 nights but had awesome fires each night in the fire pit. This is a good one!

Beautiful place with a beautiful view. Will definitely be back

Lovely cabin in the woods.

Everything was Amazing! from the Gorgeous sunrises over the river to the bright starlit skies sitting around the fire at night. It was everything you could ask for for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was awesome! we will definitely be coming back! and I'm sure many of our friends and family will to once we tell them about it.

Beautiful cabin with a beautiful view! Was very accommodating for our family and we can't wait to back sometime!

My husband and I stayed at Country Cabin. I can't say enough positive about the place. The cabin was clean and well stocked with all necessary items (towels, pillows, utensils) ... there was even coffee for the coffee maker which was a pleasant surprise! The cabin is so quiet and relaxing. We took a walk down to the river which was just beautiful! There are some fantastic little diners only a short drive away. The host, Jessica, was very attentive (via text and email) and was sure we had everything we needed. I saved the best part for last ... the hot tub. It was clean and is placed so you have beautiful views of the farm as you soak and relax. We've already booked our next stay and can't wait to go back! Book a stay! You will not be disappointed!

The perfect getaway spot. Cozy and private. I'll definitely be staying here again!

Murphy's Place is absolutely wonderful! The cabins are so charming and cozy and clean with everything you need. Views are spectacular! Jessica was extremely accommodating and helpful. We went in December and were still able to float on the Meramec thanks to her help. We went on a whim and ended up extending our stay. Will definitely go back!!!

Beautiful cabin with gorgeous views!! Plenty of room for lots of guests! Host were extremely accommodating and very responsive. We will be back!

Always A Beautiful Get Away

It was a great getaway. The closest I have been to nature thus far with seeing wildlife just around the cabin, it was fun. There is a river nearby that we have tried to paddle board in but the current was really strong. I fell into the river but this makes for good memories coming home. you have access to wood for bonfires, a grill and all other creature comforts such as AC, TV, stove, oven, fridge, etc. Will look forward to our next visit coming back! the views were wonderful!

The cabin is centrally located for the hikes we were looking to do. The cabin was nice and we were able to have a fire almost every night. Really enjoyed our stay!!

This was our third year going to the area, second at Murphys Place. The Sassafras Cabin was perfect for a couokes getaway. Hot tub was an amazing treat after spending the day kayaking the Meremac River. We will always come back when we get a chance to get away alone.

Great stay as always!! See ya next year !!

This is my 5th time staying at this property. I’ve stayed in all of the cabins except Murphy’s Retreat. This stay was just as great as the others. Dogwood cabin is beautiful, clean, and perfectly stocked with everything you need to cook or barbecue. We loved the pavilion/riverside area. Lots of seating and easy access to the river. Highly recommend! Quieter and more privacy than the other options in steelville. We floated using the kick n k services, it was very convenient and close. We floated 3 miles down the Meramec and it was perfect. Only took 3 hours in a raft which worked great for us.

Once again our experience was fabulous. We wanted to get some good quality time with our family before our son left for a year for Korea. He got to experience his son getting on the river at 17 months for the first time and they both had a fabulous time. The Sassafras cabin was perfect. It is clean the bed are so comfy and the fact that we had fully stocked firewood to use and enjoy the outdoors was fabulous. We have stayed at 4j over on the farm and it is great. The new area over at Murphys is even better. It is beautiful first of all and then so super private which makes you feel like it's your own place. It really has everything you need. I recommend taking time during your visit to explore the farm and everything they offer. They work very hard to provide you the best experience during your stay...

Great View, Great Hosts, and nicely updated in a rustic setting. Lots to do in the area, including fishing, hiking, floating, campfires, and dining choices. check out cuba lakes golf course and horseback riding!

We stayed at the Sassafras Cabin and it was perfect! Very clean and had all the amenities. We loved eating eating outside on the deck. The weather was cool enough for us to sit in the hot tub and then later by the fire pit. Jessica made it super easy to reserve and even connected us to Tracey at Kick n’ K Farms for our float trip. They made everything so convenient. Excellent customer service!! We will definitely be back! Thank you Jessica!!

Nice place! Foods all you need.

If you are looking for fantastic hosts, a great view, close to the river, and a comfy place to hang then look no further! If I could give it more stars I would. Don’t second guess booking any of the properties they have to offer. Go enjoy the peace and quiet and the seclusion of the cabin!

We stayed at the Hillside Cabin and we couldn't have been more pleased! We came with our Grandson to take him on his first trout fishing experience! Highly recommend! Thank you Jessica for a great weekend. We will be back!

This was an absolutely beautiful and peaceful getaway! The cabin was gorgeous and so clean. On the back porch you can even hear the river running. Such a quaint oasis and hidden gem! I’m so glad we found it and I can’t wait to stay there again!

It was a lovely and very nice place to escape from real life💗 I've been there in summer, but I would love to visit again in winter too 🥰

Murphy's is a truly special place... mostly, because it's the spot I chose as a surprise getaway after proposing to my (now) fiancee! Although I had never been here before, it was honestly the perfect setting for us to celebrate. Jessica and her partner were INCREDIBLY accommodating, even working to help me keep the secret so it was a genuine surprise. They also gave us the needed flexibility to pull the whole weekend off. Our cabin was such a romantic setting, and the pavilion by the river was the most ideal location to invite family and friends to celebrate with us. I sincerely appreciated how invested they were in making this a special weekend for us, and couldn't recommend a place more. I hope to be back, and encourage anyone else to stay here. Thanks!

Two nights in Sassafras Cabin. Our experience at Murphy's Place was far superior to our stays at other cabins. Clean, and beautiful. We had an awesome experience.

Cabins are beautifully laid out and decorated nicely. Views are best at fall thru spring.

We honeymooned in Steelville, MO and stayed in the Copperstone Cottage. The cottage was clean, cozy and so quiet.The scenic view from the balcony was breathtaking even in April, so I'm sure as all the trees and foliage bloom it will be even more beautiful. Setting up our stay through the website was simple, and when I spoke w Crystal she was very kind, helpful and professional. Make sure you read the entire website so you can experience all the amenities at Murphy's Place! Want a massage? Diane came to our cottage on Sunday morning and gave my husband and I hour long massages that were the best I've ever experienced. Highly recommended. We will be returning in the future:) Mr. & Mrs. Hawes

We will NEVER get tired of this place! It is a gem! Been 2 times and enjoyed the stake they provide at a reasonable price, and did a float trip as well. Highly recommend!

We stayed 4 nights in the Copper Stone cabin and had a really wonderful time. The cabin is just so cozy--the gas fireplace warms the cabin up quickly, the bed was really comfortable, great couch for reading and enjoying the view of the woods and river in the back. I felt instantly at home here, it was clean and nicely decorated and had everything we needed to stay in and enjoy the snow! I love how secluded the cabin is--really feels like a getaway from everything. We took several day trips to nearby parks (Meramec, Elephant Rocks and the Dillard Mill) and had a great visit! Hope to stay there again.

We just returned from our 4-night stay at Sassafras cabin. Everything was perfect! The cabin was immaculately clean and cozy...we truly felt at home. We enjoyed hikes at nearby Onondaga and Meramec Parks during our stay and relaxed in the hot tub in the evenings. So glad we pre-ordered some steaks for grilling; that was a meal we won't forget soon!

Gerald and Crystal do an amazing job ensuring their guests are acquainted. Very clean. Peaceful. Options for all group sizes. Great for a couples get away or party with friends. No more options for being taken up river for a float, but can find other methods or just hang down at the river and visit the cold spring.

We had a great weekend. Loved how secluded our cabin was. Murphy’s Retreat was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. Not to mention it had an excellent view! Also.... get the meat. Delivered to the cabin prior to arrival and absolutely delicious.

Just spent last weekend there in the Sassafras cabin and it was one of my most enjoyed stays yet! The cabin was absolutely beautiful, clean and the view was very serene. It felt like a home away from home. I was pleasantly surprised with all of the misc items the cabin was stocked with. Being so close to the winery was also a HUGE perk. We also booked the masseuse that is recommended on Murphy’s site and she was fantastic, very relaxing. Due to the weather we were not able to explore much, but I anticipate booking a longer stay soon! I highly recommend Murphy’s place!

We stayed at the copperstone cabin and we had an amazing time. The owners truly have done a wonderful job in making the cabin cozy and homely.the cabin was decorated with nice furniture and had everything you would need.the views from the back balcony are spectacular over looking the rolling hills. We cant recommend the cabin enough and it's so close to peaceful bend winery and float rentals.they even have steaks for sale from their farm.Highly recommneded!

Very cool and clean. Very organized. Great attention to detail Amazing place. You wont be disappointed.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights, and I've got to tell you if you are in the area and stay somewhere other then here you just cheated yourself out of a great place to stay. Only 3 cabins on the very large property, private private private. Super nice people ghat go out of their way to make your stay a great onr

Just about the nicest folks managing these cabins. Extremely relaxing place to get away from it all. It's close to wineries and other St. Louis attractions.

We love this place! We always stay in Copperstone

Good place to kick back and relax. Enjoyed my stay.

What an experience! Crystal is gives a very personal experience. Beautiful view. Wonderful accommodations. And a fantastic float!

had a wonderful time was beautiful very clean and cozy we will definitely return

This has been my "go to" vacation getaway spot for several years. My husband and I stay here several times a year and always have a wonderful time. Most people come for floating down the river but not me. I sometimes bring my horse and Crystal and I ride around the area. This is a beautiful part of Missouri. The cabins are clean, comfy, and have everything you need. Each cabin has a back deck with a great view of the valley and Meramec River below. Don't forget to ask about buying some of their beef which are raised on the property. Their steaks are the best! Be sure to visit Peaceful Bend winery next door, as well as get a tour of Dillard's Mill. We also love to fine dine at Sybill's which in nearby St. James.

double check with the owners for directions. the Google maps pin point is way off. 36°59'00.1"N 91°24'46.5"W will bring you right to their road. it's a wonderful place and the owners are great people!

Just spent the weekend at the Sassafras cottage. The accommodations and service far exceeded our expectations. Gerald and Crystal are amazing hosts, the cabin was top notch, with every amenity we could have asked for. Clean, up-to-date, cozy, and the hot tub was a dream. The view and privacy are just as they advertise. We brought our own kayaks, and both Saturday and Sunday morning, Gerald and Crystal met us as scheduled and delivered our cars to our end point for us. They made everything so easy. I highly recommend Murphy's Place!
