Under the Moon: cabin on the lake

About the Space

This 1970s lakefront cedar cabin is nestled into a wooded acre on Crystal Lakes, a spring fed lake 8 minutes from downtown Excelsior Springs with historical healing waters, and 40 minutes outside of downtown Kansas City. 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 bathroom, and a stocked kitchen. 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, vintage vinyl player and a well-stocked bookshelf, encouraging you to sink into the moment. The wood burning fireplace adds to the ambiance during the winter months. A complimentary start of firewood (5-6 logs) is provided for every reservation during the winter. If you need more, it is available on site for $5 a bundle of 5 logs. Outside the home awaits a paradise of wildlife, including resident eagles. The wooded lakefront land is rightfully the star of the show. We have a paddle board and vintage aluminum canoe available to take out on the lake. Fire pit by the water and a 12x12 bell tent available to use with advance notice. 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. For dinner parties/shoots we have an antique farmhouse table with 10 chairs and full place settings for 10 we can set up down by the water. Intentionally this home does not have screens of any kind. However, we do have wifi. All household products have been thoughtfully chosen to be organic and natural, creating a toxin free environment inside the home.
