Disappointed with lack of communication with property owner regarding stay.
Main floor was extremely HOT (before attempting to cook, before opening the door, regardless of the temp outside) and we weren't even going in and out. (It appears several "a/c vents" have been covered up on main flooring. When asking owner for suggestions regarding a/c and optimum air flow due to door leading downstairs, as well as upper loft with vaulted ceiling. We were also wanting to not "overwork" the system if that was the best it could be. We accidentally left a personally valuable item and owner has only responded once as to say they would check with cleaning staff. It was nice staying on the river, but the steep incline makes the advantage worthless. The info in the add stated local places to rent an adequate vehicle for the incline, but they no longer do this. Owner was NOT helpful in helping us find anything else other than just don't stop there. Dissappointed. Main floor stayed above 82 degrees the entire time (night and day). No tv on main floor, splits the group. Perhaps good for families with kids. Beds have plastic sheeting. Disgusting. Mattresses are old and worn.

Labor Day weekend 2023
This is the second time we have rented and the house is roomy and kitchen and bathrooms well stocked. The house is clean enough but there was definitely a spider problem this time. The lower deck needs some major cleaning but the upper deck is good. Needs a good bug man and probably some TLC on the outside. The neighbors are awesome and the beds are clean and comfortable!

It was a great cabin! We all enjoyed it very much! The hill to the water was brutal. I would recommend fixing that for clients or be more up front about it. It is dangerous unless you are about 11-35! The location was great and very easy to get to and close to town.

16th Birthday Float Trip!
We took my son and his friends on a float trip. The house was absolutely perfect for our weekend. It was close to The Landing. We made dinner and hung out on the deck in the evening. We loved watching the floaters and boaters. The path to the river was super steep and would not work for everyone. It was a great house and we had a wonderful and memorable weekend!

The house was perfect for our family. Very comfortable. House had all the cooking and bedding supplies needed. Tan short on paper towels and toilet paper but the response to get more was quick. The community had the water shut down a couple times but it wasn’t for long. Overall it was a wonderful trip. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was near perfect except getting down to the water. 75-100 yards down very steep, uneven ground. A bit risky (in my opinion) for older adults and small children.

Love current
I’ve been coming to current River 45+ years, never been to south of confluence which is fabulous!! House is amazing! Beautiful beach to hang out. Only downside is the hike down the steep hill or drive. Unfortunately the neighbors paved driveway is gated and the driveway provided is dangerous, so we walked carrying all our stuff. Otherwise would stay again and again

Great location very close to Van Buren right on the river. There is quite a hill from the house to the river. The house is located in a private association which allows you to use the deer run access to the river. We use that two of our days and it was very nice spot on the river

Well equipped cabin
We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and the one thing they are always missing is a pizza cutter and pizza pan. This one has both and we knew we had found a great place. But, if that doesn't excite you like it does our family, the cabin and scenery is beautiful. There were 7 of us who stayed for our annual Thanksgiving and Christmas celebration and there was plenty of room for everyone. You will want to be the first one to arrive so that you can claim the master bedroom/bathroom because it is HUGE. This is a great property and we would definitely stay again.

Great location, beautiful home on the river!
We had a wonderful time in the beautiful river-front home. We had plenty of space for our party of 10 and enjoyed the gravel bar. The path to the gravel bar is walkable but a tough walk. My only complaint was there was zero hot water in the master bathroom shower. All other areas of the house had hot water, so we made due for the Holiday weekend. I messaged the host but never heard a response. Before you reserve -- I would confirm that the hot water issue has been resolved! Other than that, I'd highly reccomend!

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 12, 2021
Very sorry to hear about your issue with the hot water. We did not receive any messages about the issue until after your stay otherwise we could have helped. Unfortunately when the plumbers built the cabin they must have had an apprentice or been having cocktails when doing the master shower. The hot and cold water are reverse and it does take longer to get the hot water to the master shower since it is the furthest away. Very sorry about the issue. We will look into getting it corrected during the off season. Glad the rest of your stay was enjoyable!

We chose this property for the destination of our friend group's 7th annual float trip that we used as a Bachelor Party for one of our closest friends, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The cabin was beautiful, clean, well kept, and perfectly fit all of us. Owner's of the neighboring cabins were kind as well. Would highly recommend for any sort of getaway, family or friends.

Annual Family Vacation
Beautiful Ozark view on Current River in Van Buren MO in this beautiful home. My family and I loved this home and will rent it again. The location was amazing. You had a great private sand bar to play with your family where we spent all day Saturday where we watched others float and raft by. We had our own little picnic down there and able to float down ourselves and come up the bank just a short distance. My grandsons that are 5 y/o and 3 y/o loved the property. This was their first time rafting on the river and enjoying Current River. We’ve been going to Current River for over 25 years and we love it. The home has plenty of room for 10 people, we only had 7 which 2 were children and they had plenty of room to play inside and out on the beautiful wrap around porches.

Book It!
I usually float the upper stretch but I was taking a large group and lodging is tough to come by up in those parts so we booked this. We were not disappointed. The road down to the water is treacherous but we got a 4x4 down there no problem and dropped a fishing kayak in the water and were able to take it upstream a ways. Fishing around this stretch was pretty good. The cabin accommodations were great. Plenty of pots and pans and plenty of grills. We had plenty of space for 8 adults and we didn't even utilize the downstairs area outside of sleeping. There is a grocery store nearby that had everything we needed and the outfitter that took us up river is right by the bridge so it was convenient. Great stretch of river. We did lose water for a portion of a day but that was completely outside of the landlord's control and she was great about communicating with me. I've suggested this property to friends and it would also be a great property for a family to rent. My only suggestion would be to move the fire pit because it is close to the hill and it wasn't possible to fully surround it at night.

Beautiful house and great location. The house was very clean and plenty big enough for 9 adults. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the owners were responsive if we had a question. My only complaint is the access to the river. The pathway to get down to the river is next to impossible to walk down. It’s very dangerous and I would definitely not recommend it for small children or older adults. Also, the river current is very strong so swimming really isn’t possible.

Great property, owner was great to work with. House was great. Its not far at all to the river but a little steep, well worth it. The Current River ended up being closed the day we intended to float due to high water, but we drove and floated Jacks Fork no problem. Hiked the Big Springs 1.8 mile loop, it was beautiful. Will book again if it works out.

Successful family trip!
Brought our family of 5 as well as my husband's sister and brother each brought their families. The loft was the perfect space for all the kids, and the parents each got one of the 3 rooms. The house was very clean and perfect for our 3 families. The kitchen was stocked with all the glasses, pots/pans, dishwashing detergent, etc. There was a washer/dryer in the basement that we each used to take care of beach towels, wet swimsuits and even to do some laundry before we all left to head home. We liked hanging out on the balcony and even used the grill one of the nights. We also spent some time down at the river fishing and swimming. Just a tip for anyone going is to bring tubes and a rope to tie them together & to the dock. The current can be strong and the kids preferred lounging in the tubes without having to fight the current. The only downfall to the area is the hike down to the current. It has a vertical gravel/dirt road down there and it takes a decent amount of endurance and safety to navigate the hill. The neighbors have more of a switchback road and a side by side to travel down to their location, but you will need to hike this one. I only say this as a word of caution if you will have any older family members traveling with you or someone in your group that is not in good physical condition. After traveling down the current river on a float trip (choose the pick up option - extremely convenient), we all noticed that not many houses have this type of access to the water. This was a great find! Looking forward to another trip at this house!

Exceptional property with full amenities, an incredible view, and attentive property manager!
Wow! What a perfect setting for a family vacation! We had 5 adults and 4 children, ages 16,14, 6, and 2, and there really was something for everyone. We sat outside and grilled or roasted marshmallows on the fire pit, played board games, spent a couple of days tubing down the river, sat by the river on the beach and swam or skipped rocks, and was able to get some down time and watch a movie. A house bustling with people drinking coffee and cooking breakfast every morning, and able to relax and enjoy the finer things, while also allowing the families to have some privacy when they needed. Would absolutely recommend this property to wanting to enjoy all that the river experience has to offer!

Beautiful Cabin but difficult river access
This cabin is absolutely lovely. The kitchen was well outfitted - we really only needed to bring our river gear and food. The decks were perfect to relax and view the scenery. Lots of games to play. My only consideration was the steep path to the river. After two attempts by athletic 30 year olds (they both fell and declared it too dangerous) we used the neighbors access (they were so nice). We drove our 4 wheel drive cars down their driveway. phew! The owners said that they are going to remedy the driveway situation soon - so check with them if you are concerned about getting to the river. Once that is fixed, this will be the perfect site for any vacation!

Very pretty cabin!
The cabin was clean and well-maintained. Indoors was conducive to our family situation. The walk down to the river is strenuous to say the least. We are 4 fit parents but carrying toddlers and all their stuff down the hill was intense. If you have access to an ATV, I can understand why this is no big thing, but walking it up and down several times a day was challenging. Our only other issue was the shower in the master bathroom. The water pressure was like needles. We enjoyed the openness of the space and the decks were wonderful. Overall it was a nice stay!

From communication with the property manager to the pure and rustic beauty of Hilltop Hideaway, I cannot stress how pleased my family and I were with our weekend along the gorgeous Current River. The house was clean, spacious, and perfectly tucked away in the trees for just the right amount of privacy, with more than enough views to wake up and gaze out along the crystal clear, shimmering river. The Hilltop Hideaway was truly a home-away-from-home, stocked with all the amenities needed to enjoy the perfect weekend with family and friends.
