Cozy A-Frame Cabin - Lakefront Getaway in Nature

This 1970s lakefront cedar cabin is nestled into a wooded acre on Crystal Lakes, a spring fed lake with historical waters, 8 minutes from downtown Excelsior Springs and 45 minutes from downtown Kansas City, MO. This home is your haven to tune in to the rhythms of the seasons, to slow down and connect back to yourself or the ones you love.

The space

The cabin's design imitates nature with its high ceilings and large windows, filling the space with natural light and immersing you into the surroundings. There is one bedroom with a queen sized bed, one full bathroom, an office/studio for remote work days and a kitchen equipped with all the basic cooking essentials. The furnishings pay homage to the simple things in life and bring a feeling of modern nostalgia. Drifting your memories to times of summer camp and vacations to the mountains. The living room has a cozy couch and a well-stocked bookshelf, encouraging you to sink into the moment by yourself or with someone you love. The wood burning fireplace adds to the ambiance during cold weather seasons.

During the warmer months, the indoor fireplace takes a rest while we prep it for the colder season - but you’ll have two outdoor fire pits available year round, ready for cozy evenings under the stars.

Outside the home awaits a paradise of wildlife, including 3 resident eagles, herons, beaver, deer and the occasional otter! The wooded lakefront land is rightfully the star of the show. Take a canoe out on the lake, pick some herbs straight out of the garden and end your day under the stars with a bonfire by the water. For those who prefer to spend their time cooking outside, there is a grill and dining set on the large deck attached to the cabin.

Intentionally this home does not have screens of any kind. However, we do have high-speed internet and a designated office space for those looking to stay and work remotely.

All household products have been thoughtfully chosen to be organic and natural, creating a toxin free environment and freeing your mind to focus on healing and relaxation.

The Elms Resort and Spa is 10 minutes from the cabin and offers day passes for anyone wanting to use the grottos or spa facilities. Watkins Mill State Park is under 15 minutes from the cabin along with a handful of wineries all under a 20 minute drive. The Hall of Waters is also an amazing free activity to learn the unique history of Excelsior Springs.
