- Lainie SJefferson City, MO11 contributionsScheduled a last-minute trip to the area to go floating on the Current and came across this place to stay! So peaceful and secluded, the cabins are clean and have everything you need! We got in late, and Cathy had the light on and everything we needed to find the cabin easily. Zach the Jack Russell terrier gave us a warm welcome and hung around our cabin the entire weekend, we loved it! Loved eating breakfast and drinking my coffee on the front porch each morning. There were some stalls behind our cabin, and one horse. Will definitely be back!Written August 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrea A1 contributionVery professional and friendly. Gave great advice, kindly answered all my questions. Canoes and kayaks were lined up and waiting for us upon arrival. Door to door service for pick up and drop off. Would definitely use them again.Written August 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sassy0062Georgetown, TX80 contributionsWe used Harveys again this year for our family reunion float trip. They make it SO easy for the group to reserve and pay and still know who is in the group. Really appreciate the pickup and drop off at our lodge. Equipment is great. Staff is friendly and helpful.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Justin11 contributionsWe did the Two Rivers to Eminence float. We were able to get a shuttle from our cabin at Shady Lane which was nice. The driver was on time and able to get us to the river. We had paid for a cooler tube and he was unable to provide one at the time of take off which was a bit frustrating. He did refund the money. Usually on our other floats on the current river there are people to help you get situated with your raft but we just got dropped off. I'm sure another group took our cooler tube because no one was there monitoring. Luckily we were able to make it work. The float was supposed to be 5 hours and took closer to 8 and we didn't really stop. But they were at the takeout to help and take us back to the cabin. Overall we were happy with our float and service provided.Written August 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jon NO'Fallon, IL358 contributionsGreat floating company. They came to our campsite and picked us up and when we were done, they took us back. Easy to book with, are flexible if you have a problem with the weather, and reasonably priced. Floating the Current River was great!Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Woody LPhoenix, AZ69 contributionsFirst I must say that our two instructors/companions were professional, friendly, and really wanted us to have a good time.
Now, there are 5 trips along the lines and each is a really trip. Pardon the pun. The problem is that if you don't assume the correct position when sailing along the cable you will not make the next landing. The results in you having to pull yourself hand over hand to the platform: very tiring.
My wife is a small person and she didn't make any of the first 3 crossings. In fact neither she or I completed the tour, stopping after 3 trips. Our friend completed the tour and did make all the crossing except one.
For people who are better athletes or in better shape this adventure would be really cool. I'm 70 and it was a little excessive for me.
We will not return but that is because of us not Eagle Falls Ranch. I will repeat, the people were very nice and treated us very well.Written October 16, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My fondest memories was walking in to the cold water with the fish nipping at my feet. The water was crystal clear and cold. But I remember how much I loved it. That was 50 years ago. Since I've had a family and grandchildren I share this memory with them. I tell my friends that visit about Eminence and how much they would enjoy going there. It's relatively close to us and it's a beautiful senic drive. I recently took my bf. We stayed at Ech Bluffs and was surprised to see the Shannon County wild horses. I am a horse lover and this was magical. Not a lot of people know we have wild horses right here in Missouri. We went canoeing on the Currant River for 5 hours. The weather was perfect. We went horse bavk riding at Spring Valley Trails. Theresa was fabulous. I definitely suggest you ride with her.Written October 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
