After five wonderful years of hosting large groups and creating special memories here at our little piece of heaven, we’re turning the page to a new chapter.

At the end of October 2026, we officially closed our large-group lodging rentals as we make more room for family and embrace the next season of life.

But this isn’t goodbye to Koinania!

We will continue offering our Ozark Trail Shuttle Service for overnight and thru-hikers exploring the beautiful Missouri Ozarks. We’ll also continue hosting small groups of 2–4 for special scrapbook and quilt retreats.

We’re incredibly thankful for everyone who has been part of our journey over the past five years. While things may look a little different moving forward, we’re grateful for the opportunity to continue sharing this special place in new ways.

Thank you for being part of the Koinania story. Here’s to the next chapter! ❤️

Planning an adventure on the Ozark Trail? Let our husband-and-wife team help get you there! We provide flexible shuttle services to all the trailheads throughout the Missouri Ozark Trail, with affordable per-vehicle pricing instead of per-person fees. Bring your hiking buddies, save a little money, and enjoy the adventure!

We also offer free primitive camping and discounted cabin stay for hikers booking a shuttle.”

Lets take out the next section that previously was our main blurb about the place and put something specific to the retreat page with a button for the retreat page, like this ”
