NEW! Village of Hope - All 6 Cabins

This is a group of 6 cabins (with plans for 6 more) called "Village of Hope" that is part of a 58 acre private Christian camp in the Ozark Hills just outside of Ava, Missouri. THIS LISTING INCLUDES THE RENTAL OF ALL 6 CABINS!

The cabins are outside of Ava, Missouri in a very rural environment in the beautiful hills of the Ozark Mountains. They are about a 10-minute drive from Ava. Ava is a quaint, older town of around 2,500 residents with a charming collection of unique shops, cafes, and restaurants. The people in the area are extremely friendly and tourists are very welcome all over town.

The cabins are less than a 10-minute drive from entry into the gorgeous Mark Twain National Forest, which provides 1.5 million acres of beautiful land for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, and exploring the beauty of God's creation. The cabins are also about a 1-hour drive from Branson, Missouri, which is world-famous for its live entertainment shows, particularly in terms of country music and Christian music.

THIS LISTING INCLUDES THE RENTAL OF ALL 6 CABINS! The rental also includes use of all of the following:

* the large meeting / conference center that is on the property
* the large kitchen and dining facility that is on-site
* the game room / exercise room on the property
* the property's large outdoor bonfire ring with outdoor chairs and a picnic table
* the property's outdoor basketball court
* the property's mostly-forested 58 acres for hiking and exploring

Thus, this group of 6 private cabins and additional facilities works great for family retreats, family reunions, church retreats / groups, youth retreats / groups, and even business retreats and business groups! We openly welcome groups and events, but we would ask that you discussion your plans with us before booking the property for a group or event to insure that the property is a good fit for what you are looking for.

Each of the cabins have been built since 2008 and they all have modern amenities including electricity, hot water, toilets, showers, WiFi, and both heating and air conditioning. Each of the cabins also have a microwave, small refrigerator, and a coffee pot.

The cabins are built with a cute and fun "hillbilly style" to provide guests with a comfortable, fun, and unique regional experience. They are truly a very cute, unique, and comfortable mix of "hillbilly style" with modern amenities! The cabins help tourists to get a real and authentic sense of the region and its "hillbilly heritage" while enjoying the peaceful and pristine beauty of the Ozarks!

Each of the cabins have their own unique style! Four of the cabins (#1 ,#5, #10, and #12) have bedrooms and the other two (#9 and #11) are "studio cabins". The bedroom in Cabin #5 is explicitly set-up for younger children. Each of the cabins have their own private bathroom with a toilet and a shower or bathtub / shower combination. Cabins #1 and #5 each have a combination bathtub / shower and the other 4 cabins (#9, #10, #11, and #12) have showers. Cabin #11 is explicitly set-up to be wheelchair accessible. (Please note that it is still necessary for guests in wheelchairs to travel approx. 250 feet from the parking area to the cabins.) All of the cabins have a small "kitchenette" in them that consists of a sink, mirror, countertop, and coffee maker. (There are no sinks and mirrors in the bathrooms.) Ground coffee and filters are provided as well! Each of the cabins also has a small dining table and 2 chairs.

The cabins are built on a beautiful hillside on part of the 58-acre grounds of Teen Harvest Youth Ranch, a Christian ministry for children, teens, and families. The cabins are used for family ministry, but are offered for rent on days when they are not in use for ministry. The rental of the cabins helps to financially support the wonderful ministry of Teen Harvest Youth Ranch. All of the cabins are filled with Christian artwork and Christian decorations. As the cabins are part of a Christian camp, neither smoking nor alcohol consumption is permitted anywhere on the property.

This resort offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Ava resort is smoke free.
