Koinania Valley Ranch Family Resort

The Bringer Of Rain

We had an amazing stay for my brothers wedding. The owners were very friendly folks and really let us have our way with the place. They were close enough to help but far enough to give you your space to let lose. There's a spring fed pond with paddle boats, it was great for swimming and fishing. We reeled in 6 large mouth during our stay, the bass were a bit picky, but it didn't take long before we figured out what they will hit on. There is a crystal clear stream that was also great for swimming. Bring water shoes the rocks aren't easy to walk on. There were some decent size fish coming through but I didn't put in a line. If you are looking to get away this is the place,, its not near anything! So Bring food and ice in with you. However the kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils to cook and eat with, glasses, pots, pans, the living quarters was very cozy and there was no shortage of grills, chairs, shade trees, and green grass for the kids to play. There are a few fire pits set up for small bon fires with hoses nearby. Our only complaint was Bella, she was so loving and friendly and the little kids were ready for all that puppy love. Nobody was hurt, it just wasn't a good setting for a puppy. The owners were quick and happy to help so that quickly became a non issue. The pictures really don't do the place any justice. The view was amazing the stay was wonderful! We just got home and the family is already asking when we can go back!

My time spent in Koinania, however brief, brought with it a sense of calm that you would only expect from a land so serene. The cabin I stayed at sat beside a small pond fed by a stream that originated somewhere up in the mountains. I found …We are so happy that you were able to experience your heart full of the beauty of Koinania! Thank you for your awesome review of Koinania!

We selected Koinania because from the very first email Mary was extremely helpful and responsive. This carried through for our entire stay. We have never stayed anywhere with such wonderful owners. After 5 minutes it felt like we were staying at a friend's place. We stayed in the West Wing that has a fantastic covered deck, nice kitchen and big dining table, and perfect rooms to sleep in. The location is fantastic. If your looking for peace and quiet - this is the place. The road to get there is hilly and windy - just take it slow and enjoy. Our trip was four buddies from Minnesota who used ranch to access the Ozark Trail for some mountain biking. It was perfect. The Ozark Trail in this area is not for beginners. It would be great for any hiking level. If we could give it 6 stars we would!

The hostess gave us such a warm welcome and such detailed instructions on how to get to the accommodation. She even stayed up to greet us as we were arriving quite late after a long drive. We stayed at Koinania Valley over Christmas, so to …andrea, thanks so much for the kind words and awesome review! Looking forward to seeing you all again.
