SPENCER FAMILY FARMHOUSE-minutes from Indian Creek Marina on Mark Twain Lake.

SPENCER FAMILY FARMHOUSE, full of history and memories, is located on a blacktop road in the middle of a working farm. Only minutes from Indian Creek Marina on Mark Twain Lake, a ten minute drive gets you to Monroe City for groceries, restaurants, and basic supplies. The small communities of Paris, Perry and Florida offer historical attractions, antique shops, unique food experiences , and limited shopping opportunities close to Mark Twain Lake area. A scenic farmland and lake view drive of 30 minutes will allow you to immerse among the friendly faces of these close-knit family neighborhoods.
This much-loved and well-lived updated family farmhouse gives the country feel surrounded with rolling fields and plenty of open views. Countless sightings of white-tail deer and the howls of distant coyotes are part of the country experience. Crickets and frogs will sing from the nearby ponds as you relax at the backyard picnic table and fire pit. In the right seasons, cattle might be roaming, or modern farm equipment will be planting or harvesting soybeans and corn. Big bales of hay might adorn the spacious fields that surround this country home.
The barn outside the back door and the basement door from the kitchen is off limits to house guests. But there are plenty of opportunities for exploring the outside around the property. The area is served by local public safety departments, however any entities associated with the Spencer Family Farmhouse property can not be held responsible for accidents. The peacefulness of this property is emphasized with no cable, no wifi, no internet and limited cell service. A walk through the colorful autumn woods or a viewing of the sparkling stars or a morning sunrise becomes a promising way of reducing the chaos of normal daily life. The Spencer Family Farmhouse offers close-by opportunities for hunting, boating, fishing, swimming, photography, a friends’ gathering spot, and new family memories. With touches of nostalgia from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, come spend some time as Clarence and Frances did with their family in this home many years ago. Continuous updates and aged additions help us keep the traditions and honor to this home.
If you are looking for calm and quiet, we welcome you here. Just a few minutes from Mark Twain Lake, come experience the true country of the Spencer Family Farmhouse.

Great location!
The house was perfect for a weekend at the lake! The kitchen provided ample space and resources for meal prep. The grill and fire pit were an added bonus. The beds were comfy. The location was perfect as it is only a few miles from the marina and a few miles from Monroe City. The 20 minute drive to Sweetwater Distillery is a must!

The pasture
When exploring new areas we like to stay off the beaten paths. This house was just that, older house and no neighbors in sight.

Note: There is no WIFI at this home and our cell phone coverage (T-Mobile) was very weak.
We rented the home wrongly assuming that there was WIFI. “No WIFI” should be clearly spelled out in the description. Otherwise, this home suited us well. We liked having the extra space to spread out and enjoyed having 3 bedrooms. We also enjoyed the quietness of the property. The setting is very pastoral with fields and cows grazing about. Tim and Cheryl were very responsive and answered our questions quickly. We did appreciate the snack basket, oatmeal, and ground coffee. We also admire the family for trying to save an old country farmhouse from abandonment and demolition. Thank you for the stay.

Great experience!
The owner was extremely responsive and even took care of a minor issue we had immediately. The home is simple, but nice and well kept. Having a home to yourself is soooo much better than staying in a condo or hotel. You can relax, bbq, have a campfire, enjoy the peace and quiet! This is definitely a great place to stay if you’re in the area. It’s also only 10-12 minutes from town, and less than 10 minutes to the boat ramp. Great location!

Perfect piece of country paradise
The Spencer family farm house was such a lovely home for our 3 day weekend trip. The location is fabulous, far enough away from the noise of the city. The house itself was adorable with a full kitchen for all of our needs, even a dishwasher! The couch was so comfortable my boyfriend and I both fell asleep on it at separate times. Three bedrooms with three queen size beds, all different softness gaurantees you'll find one to your liking. Theres even a washer and dryer so no dirty clothes to wash once you return home from vacation! Theres even a collection of dvds, book, and games to play. Perfect for kid's! We took our 2 dogs and they loved walking in the pasture and chasing deer. Tim was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. Tim was very responsive and just a pleasure to talk to. You really cant go wrong booking a stay at the the Spencer family farm house.
