The stars really do shine brighter at the Baumwolle Midwest Ranch Retreat! We offer a completely unique getaway opportunity that is centrally located between St Louis and Joplin Missouri, close to Fort Leonard Wood and just a few miles from Bunker. With gently rolling hills, lakes, meadows and pastures this wooded retreat is approximately 124 acre and surrounded on 3 sides by the the Mark Twain National Forest. The national park offers forested mountains with scenic rivers, lakes & streams for hiking, biking, fishing & much more. Kayaking and canoeing is also be available just minutes away.
We offer a well-furnished 3 bedroom / 2 bath mobile home that we call "The Cottontop House".

"The Cottontop" is available for a few days or a several week-long long lodging experience. Much of the perimeter is fenced and buildings are only accessible to guests through our private drive. You will find fruit and nut trees among the moderately forested tree lines and trails. The property is complete with WIDE accommodating trails perfect for ATV and OHV four wheeling, riding your horses (at your own risk), hiking or just a casual morning or evening walk.
For seasonal hunting there are abundant deer, turkey, and other wild game that love to hang around the forested acres. For the fishing enthusiast we have three fully stocked lakes. We are located within 4 miles of the headwaters of Meramec, Black, and the Sinking Creek Rivers. A little farther at (but within 30 miles) are the Montauk, the Current River, Johnson's Shut-Ins, Devil's Well - Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and Cave/Welsh areas for added and unique experiences.
