The Little Sugar Shack, a rustic tiny cabin with hot tub access & fiery sunsets!

Welcome to The Ridge Ranch LLC, a 10 acre Glampground & Event Venue located adjacent to the 2,106 acre Huckleberry Ridge Conservation Area, located 3 miles from where Little Sugar & Big Sugar Creek converge to form Elk River.

We have 3 vacation rentals & a small Glampground with 4 RV sites including 30/50 amp electric/water service, dump station and access to our 6 person luxury hot tub. With plenty of room for horses, tent or hammock campers your whole group will have a safe space to explore all the trails and raw wilderness The Huckleberry Ridge Conservation Area has to offer!

This tiny but rustic 12x30 deluxe lofted barn cabin was built by Derksken builders and finished out by the host herself over the past 7 years. The Little Sugar Shack previously served as the home base for her seasonal business, Sugar Creek Kayak Bass Fishing Guide & Shuttle Service.

This tiny cabin is intended to be used by individuals or couples wanting to escape to nature and enjoy the use of our 6 person luxury hot tub. It offers a fully functioning kitchen and covered front deck for enjoying the gorgeous sunsets. Are you planning to elope or want to have a micro wedding? Check out our new stage facing the sunset…We have room to sleep eight people in the house, two people in the other cabin, two people in this cabin and eight people in four RV sites. At this time children are not allowed, up to 2 small dogs are allowed for a $30 per pet fee.

Really enjoyed my stay. Sunsets are beautiful. Looking forward to staying again and bringing my dog to hang out with Biggie Smalls (resident dog). Really enjoyed driving the winding roads on the way up to the cabin.

Frustrating!!
The yard and area were definitely not as plush and nice as pictured. It said small dogs welcome (which is why we chose it), but nowhere in the description or listing did it mention a pet fee. So when the owner emailed asking if we were bringing a dog, to let me know that there was a camp dog who was bigger but friendly. I replied “yes we are bringing our 4 month old small breed puppy. After that text exchange I got a Vrbo email telling me I owed a $30 pet fee. We were already an hour out so we had no choice but to pay it. There is very inadequate signage telling where to turn into to get to the cabin. The only check in info or instructions we got was that it was ready and the key was inside. When we finally got there we put our puppy down to pods and apparently other guests had dogs who proceeded to chase our puppy and scared her to death. Also, the listing said “adults only, no one under 21 allowed; but there were a couple of younger teenagers there hanging out. It was very disappointing after we got semi settled because we were hungry for dinner but there was no welcome note or book giving info on restaurants etc in the area or giving us the WiFi info to use, but the listing description said WiFi was available and the login would be provided beforehand, it was not, so it was difficult to get service to google for info. The listing also said Tv/satellite was available to the tv but it was only a RUKU box with the Ruku remote which HAD NO way to adjust the volume and there wa

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
The Little Sugar Shack was a perfect little weekend retreat for my husband and I! It was perfectly clean, the bed was comfy and Melissa made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable for our weekend. The surroundings are beautiful and so quiet and peaceful! And the hot tub was amazing, located just behind the cabin. Melissa is an outstanding hostess, top notch! I can’t say enough about her hospitality. We will be back!! And FYI - kayak rental is available on the property!

The Incredible Sugar Shack
The Sugar Shack was the absolute perfect little couples retreat that I was hoping it would be. The Shack is beautiful, perfectly clean, surprisingly spacious, and even better than the listing makes it out to be. This is the perfect little getaway for someone looking to be on their own or with nature. I cannot reccomend this place enough. And the host is absolutely amazing. Add onto this a very nice hottub and incredible sunset views, and the Sugar Shack of Southwest Missouri is worth every single penny.
