We cannot say enough about the farm and the time we had there. This place is perfect. Not only was is absolutely lovely, every small details enhances your stay. Everything was honestly perfect. We only went into town to get groceries and just stayed and enjoyed the cabin, outdoors, books, all the games and cool things to do. Hope and Eric have done an amazing job of making sure every little thing is so great. They were easy to communicate with and beyond helpful. Most of our interactions were with Eric, as hope was enjoying family over the holiday weekend, but she was everywhere from the thoughtful touches and seeing her and heart poured into the cabin. When we reflected on the weekend, we decided that our favorite part was seeing their memories and life all around the cabin. It truly was one of the most unique and wonderful Airbnb experiences, it felt like home. My only advice for guests consider booking is to book as long as you can and bring groceries to cook dinner because you honestly will not want to leave. We cannot wait to return with our kids and enjoy!

We booked on VRBO and couldn’t be happier with our stay. It rained almost our whole stay and it didn’t bother us one bit. The last day we.got to explore the old trail along the water and it made me want to move right on in. So peaceful and serene. We cant wait to come back during warmer months to get in the water. The cabin was so clean and has everything you need. Very grateful that they open up their property and share it with everyone.

In our desire to find a private get-away to celebrate our anniversary, my wife and I searched to find a cabin near Branson yet far enough away to enjoy some very real peace and quiet and seclusion. What we found at the end of the trail at 12 Stones Farm, far and away exceeded our expectations. Even though we arrived late on a chilly Friday night, Eric had the pellet stove fired up and awaiting our arrival. The cabin is full of surprises and Hope and Eric truly go above and beyond to think of everything to make our stay an experience to remember. We hadn’t been there for more than half a day before we had already started to figure out when we could plan our next trip back. Thanks again for your hospitality Hope & Eric! Hope to see you again soon! Steve & Suzanne

What a great place to just get away! Kathy and I stayed here in Sept. 2016, and again Oct.2018. The cabin and grounds are a testament to the extra mile Eric and Hope put in to ensure your stay will be memorable. There are a million little things they do that bear witness to their hands and their hearts. This is a labor of love, and if you stay here, you will see that for yourselves. Everywhere you look, there is that something extra; from the heart log outside, to the heart stones on the window sill. Gotta love the fresh eggs and milk, too. I even found a duck egg-it was delicious! Thank you both for a great time. The guests that stayed part of the week with us would like to return as well.

We loved every minute of our stay. The cabin had everything we needed and was so adorablely decorated. We felt right at home. Our kids jumped up early in the morning beyond excited to help with all of the farm chores. Hope and Eric were so kind, patient, and welcoming. We all fell in love with the farm and can’t wait to go back.

Having only heard about the beauty of Missouri, we were excited to see it for ourselves. It did not disappoint! The cabin is situated between an amazing little working farm and a picturesque river. Hope and Eric thought of everything guests might need or want and left no detail undone – including fresh eggs and milk/sweet cream. The location, the cabin, the atmosphere and the hosts were more than we hoped for. Thank you for the opportunity to “Be Still.”

I’ve always been pretty good at putting my thoughts on paper, but there are just some things that prove to be impossible to describe. I will attempt to tell you all about the most beautiful farm I’ve ever visited, graced with the most hospitable hosts, and the warmest and homiest cabin I have had the privilege of sleeping in. 12 Stones Farm, owned and operated by Eric & Hope Bright, had many, many excellent reviews, so my husband and I decided to give it a try. My husband contacted Eric and he was able to accommodate us for ten nights. We (my husband, my best friend, and three of our youngest children ages 4, 6, and 7) arrived at the farm on a Monday morning, almost midday, to the most beautiful landscape accompanied by this wonderful feeling and sigh of relief that this was exactly where we were meant to be. As we drove in past the beautiful pond on the left with two chairs placed ever-so-perfectly on the well-manicured lawn, six ducks waddling right near the driveway, several bee hives nestled behind the pond under a tree, we approached a pasture with a beautiful jersey cow and a few calves, one which was the whitest white and blackest black cow I have ever seen. I’m telling you, everything here is almost surreal. As we rounded the curve, we saw some beautiful chickens and turkeys…..and then, right before our eyes was the quaintest cabin whose pictures had done it no justice. I kept thinking to myself, “is this real life?” The children were giddy with excitement, okay, so maybe the adults were too, so we all jumped out of the truck and entered the cabin to find our rooms. Well, I was actually scoping out the kitchen, but isn’t that what most moms do? We found exactly what we were expecting PLUS much, much more!! We had already figured out the sleeping arrangements, but did not realize exactly how beautiful the cabin was. Every small detail from each framed cross-stitched piece made by Eric’s mom, to antique quilts, crocks, doilies, lamps, piles of games for the kids, rocking chairs facing the picture window with binoculars, mounds of extra pillows, and fresh towels and wash cloths for indoors and outdoors. It was like coming to grandmother’s house. They were even so kind as to leave us a lemonade packet with a pitcher and four glasses, fresh eggs in the fridge, every utensil, cookware, dinnerware, flatware, and spice you need to prepare many meals. Yesssss, there are sharp knives and a cast iron skillet and a blender and cutting boards and casserole dishes. I could go on and on, but I’m sure you understand what I’m getting at, we didn’t want for anything. We cooked many delicious meals during our stay. After getting settled in and taking a five hour nap (we had just traveled for 17 hours) we got up and prepared an early supper and the kids went out to help Eric and Hope with farm chores. What an exciting adventure for the children!! During our stay, the children were able to help round up the cow for milking, gather eggs, pick green beans and blueberries, and Eric even gave the kids the last three strawberries from the garden to enjoy. Over the course of ten days at the cabin we played in the river, sunbathed in the yard, fished in the pond, took many naps, played games (indoor and outdoor) visited with Eric & Hope, and were just able to really enjoy each other. We ate fresh green beans, drank fresh milk, used fresh eggs almost daily (I think we ate 3 dozen) ate fresh honey and even used the cream off the top of the milk for our coffee. We utilized the outdoor games, balls, floats, and table and chairs on the screened porch. I also made great use of the washer and dryer (almost daily). It is apparent that Eric & Hope truly enjoy serving others and their love for the Lord, each other, their farm, and their guests shines through. They were so kind to us and so patient with the children, teaching them so many things about the farm. We left the farm feeling energized, renewed, refreshed and ready to come back to the reality of policing and 9-1-1. We are truly grateful for all that these two did for our family and the quality time spent with family was invaluable. They made us feel so special even though we had never met them before. We will NEVER forget 12 Stones Farm and we hope to return very, very soon!

My sister and I stayed in the cabin over thanksgiving weekend and it was better than we could have hoped for. Hope and Eric took the time to make us feel welcome and ensure were got settled in. They also offered us the opportunity to help milk the cow and collect eggs from the chickens, which was a fun. The Cabin has a fully stocked kitchen and lots of fun board games to play in the evening. The experience is one that we will treasure for a long time to come.

A lovely respite from a fast paced life! Quaint, cozy, detail perfection!! And… the beds/pillows were so comfy-reminded me of days gone by under quilts at Grandma’s house! Add to that a hot soak in the hot tub right off the bedroom- can’t think of anything better. Hope to return one day for another dose of amazing! 😉 Thanks Hope & Eric for sharing your idealic spot!

Pictures don’t do this charming little place justice. Hope and Eric were fantastic hosts, providing us with fresh milk and eggs every morning, and quick to respond if we had need of anything. This relaxing stay will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed, and we would highly recommend this stay to anyone who is traveling, or anyone simply wanting a weekend away. We will definitely be back again!
