What a beautiful property! We stayed here for our first wedding anniversary. We loved the relaxing environment and comforts offered in the lodge. There are so many amenities awaiting you at the Circle O. I would definitely recommend it! We hope to make a return trip someday.

This cabin was well equipped and the perfect weekend getaway! And being able to bring our dog was a huge plus! We will be back!

The wife and I booked a quick weekend getaway and absolutely fell in love with the place! The cabin itself was even better than expected. This place had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend and more! Even though it rained for a week beforehand, the trails were still walk-able and enjoyable. We loved that we were able to bring the dog (Big reason we stayed). Huge plus was the heated hose outside to wash the dog! Trails and the lake were very easily accessible being right next to the cabin. The only thing missing was family and friends which we'll have to bring with us next time :)

Perfect escape for any occasion.

It was a relaxing, comfortable and quiet place for our family. There was lots to do on site and the lodge was clean and prepared perfectly for guests. We loved it and can't wait to visit again.

Great property with plenty of space inside and out for our family to enjoy. House was comfortable and well appointed. Great trails all around the very large property to explore - the pup loved roaming and sniffing everywhere.

The host was great! Even let us stay pass check out time!

This little piece of property is a little piece of heaven. Secluded, quiet, relaxing, peaceful, secret escape from real life. We stayed there for an extended weekend and left the property once to get groceries; other than that, there was no reason to leave. We explored the property, explored ourselves, and explored the starry skies each night. If you are looking for a place to escape your day to day, this is it. The Wifi was a nice touch so we could have Spotify playing all weekend, but other than that, no phone calls or emails distracting us from ourselves.

This home is absolutely wonderful, a treasure nestled within a small town! It is both unique and comfortable, I highly recommend it to all Fayette travelers!

Definitely a unique experience! House has all the bells and whistles and the beds are so so comfy!! There was even Christmas decor and a tree which goes above and beyond what you would expect in a rental property. You will love it here and not want to leave!

Wow! This is such a spectacular place! We arrived to town much later than planned and Ashley was very accommodating and met us promptly upon our arrival. It was almost too good to be true that my husband and I got the entire house and jail to ourselves! It is definitely worth going out of your way if you need a place to stay while traveling along I-70. The renovations to the house are marvelous. We especially appreciated the awesome AC and sound systems since this is such an old building. The best part is that by staying here you not only get to write it off on your taxes, but you're also supporting a very important non-profit that preserves historical little towns like Fayette! The bathroom is worth the cost per night just by itself! AMAZING!

what you see is what you get with this place. very nice, spacious, clean. the crew is very friendly and communicative. i would definitely recommend staying here. very nice place.

In the mob scene that was Columbia during MU's graduation weekend, this house was a welcome retreat. Clean and beautifully redone, it served us wonderfully for the two nights. The not-for-profit group that runs the house was great to work with from reservation through departure and were very responsive to all our needs. I would suggest at least two nights if only for the reason that it takes a little while to warm up to the idea of and to explore the jail. It is so unique and interesting and it's a jail! The town of Fayette is cute and quiet, the grocery store has everything, and there are a few good restaurants on the square. Easy, lovely drive from Columbia. I've been recommending the Historic Howard County Jail to everyone!

Wonderful time!

This house is an EXCELLENT value! Plus, you really can't get much more unique than a beautifully restored sheriff's home connected to the actual former jail. We had friends over for pizza and everyone loved the house. The next time we are in the area we will definitely try to stay here.

The photos of this place do not do it justice! The house is beautiful and the hosts were very nice and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone. I never thought staying at jail would be so fun!

Fantastic host and home! Ideal get away only 15 minutes from campus. Adorable bungalow on pecan farm. Will be back again and again!!

Quiet, nice, big, comfortable house.

What a beautiful charming cabin I the woods! Very welcoming and extremely clean! It was the perfect place for our weekend. Your properly is stunning. it was so fun to wake up and watch the dear out the front picture window while having our morning coffee. You can really tell all the care the owners have taken to make their guests feel welcome. We definitely be back! Thanks for your hospitality!

Tony and Melynda have a wonderful home. They both welcomed my family and made our stay very enjoyable. The property is also beautiful for a walk, to stop by to see the chickens or to sit by the pond.

Melynda and Tony were so warm and welcoming that we felt like we were coming home to mom's house. Their home is beautiful. Melynda's art, along with other pieces, makes the place uniquely lively. Who needs to go to town when there is plenty to look at right there! Miles the dog is as sweet as can be, as are the outdoor cats. The chicken coop is a definite must-see, as well as the rest of their amazing property. Being greeted with homemade cinnamon rolls and quiche on Sunday morning was just indescribable. We cannot recommend this enough--stay with Tony and Melynda!

Second time we've stayed here and it was just as great this time. Easy to work with Tony and Melynda. The place is clean and great if you have a kid.

I can't put into words the wonderful stay my husband and I experienced. The house was clean and spacious. There was chilled bottled water and Starbucks coffee in the kitchen for us. We were provided use of their laundry room and detergent. The bed was so comfortable. Lots of hot water for a much needed shower; complete with toiletries. Melynda is a very gifted artist, and I purchased a gorgeous piece of her work. When we awoke the following morning; Melynda made us sweet rolls and spinach/mushroom quiche. It was divine. The energy and vibrations of their home was on a truly powerful level that calmed and nurtured you after a long drive. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Very nice basement apartment full of artwork. We had everything we needed. If you are going out and will be back after dark I would leave a light on the light switch was hard to find in the dark. The yard has beautiful gardens and artwork. Was very beautiful peaceful spot. Our host was great thanks so much.

Tony was very attentive upon arrival and very accommodating to our schedule. The listing description was very accurate as well as the pictures provided in the listing. The location is amazing. It's not too far from the city or Missouri State University, but yet it gives you the feeling that you are out of the city entirely. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. Melynda went over and beyond and woke up quite early to make us homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and boy were they yummy. The location of their property is also extremely near the LA Nichols Golf Course which was also very convenient for our visit as we golfed there the following morning. Everyone needs to meet Miles also. He is their pet dog and he is quite friendly and a joy.

Tony was very responsive and helpful when we booked this last-minute. The location is great, right outside of downtown CoMo, and in a very peaceful spot. Lots of space, and great furnishings (including a piano). Best of all was Miles the pup, who we desperately wanted to take with us. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Tony & Melynda were fabulous! The home was clean and the property was beautiful. We even woke up to freshly made cinnamon rolls on Sunday morning. We loved our stay and we definitely be back to stay when in the Columbia area.

Shana is a great host. She was extremely accommodating. The room picture accurately reflects the space. It was cozy and comfortable. This is a very good value. 10-15 minutes from UM Columbia. Easy access to everything. 5-7 minutes from I-70. I would recommend this for a graduation, reunion, or sports weekend. We will definitely stay again, if we have the need.

We stayed with Shana and Mel on our way to St. Louis. Everything was great, from the room, to them allowing us to arrive later in the evening. Just a great experience all the way around!
