The space
⭐️ New for 2025!
• Rent a Can-Am Maverick Trail Side-by-Side during your stay for the ultimate adventure. Available on first come first serve basis!

🌄 Glade Top Trail
The Glade Top Trail is a U.S. Scenic Byway filled with breathtaking overlooks, caves, historic lookout towers, and hiking trails. Into off-roading? You’ll love the miles of OHV trails right from the property—bring your Jeep, ATV, SxS, or dirt bike and hit the trails with ease. Or rent our SxS!

🏡 The Fire Tower Experience
Arrive, drop your luggage in the basket, and head up the stairs to the covered first-floor deck—complete with a cozy sitting area, swinging bed, and Blackstone grill.

Then, head to the living space on the top floor. No need to haul your bags—use the luggage elevator/winch to bring everything up with the push of a button!

Inside, you’ll find warm wood finishes, panoramic windows that capture the lookout tower vibe, and a fireplace for warmth or ambiance. Sleep like royalty on a luxury WinkBed King mattress topped with ultra-soft 1600-count bamboo sheets. No TV, no Wi-Fi—just peace, connection, and the stars above (though Verizon & AT&T get service here).

⸻

☕ Kitchenette & Comforts
A bar sink with glass rinser, mini-fridge, and an Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer make simple meals a breeze. At the coffee bar, enjoy the simplicity of a Keurig. We provide K-cups or bring your own blend.

⸻

🚿 Bathing Bliss
Behind a sliding door, a half bath is stocked with plush spa robes and luxe gold-trimmed fixtures. But the real showstopper? The outdoor shower, 40 feet in the air—an unforgettable experience, especially under the stars.

⸻

🪨 Natural Rock Spa & Outdoor Spaces
On the ground, slip into the Natural Rock Spa, a custom hot tub designed to feel like a mountain spring—complete with jets and lighting (open year round). Gather by the firepit on top of the storm shelter for stunning eastern views, or take cover below in the shelter/utility room, equipped with laundry and an indoor shower.

At night, use the telescope for incredible stargazing—the sky here is unbelievably dark and clear.

⸻

🌲 Secluded Yet Special
This property is remote: about 45 minutes to the nearest grocery store and 15 minutes to a gas station. But with 30,000+ acres of Mark Twain National Forest around you, the privacy, peace, and romance are worth it.

Hi friends! We are Michael and Laine Loftis! In 2018 we sold everything and traveled & lived fulltime in an RV with our 4 kids. With our home base in Missouri, we dreamed up a plan to build the Moonshack! We documented the build on YT @ Loftispartyofsix. What started off as a place for us turned into a place for you too! Then another dream formed to build the Glade Top Fire Tower! We hope you enjoy our Unique properties in the Ozarks!!
