About Fuchs House

In the late 1930s, Rudolph Fuchs built a five bedroom concrete and native stone house for his family, and also built the present wheel house to produce electricity for his needs. Power was obtained by building a dam in a semi-circle below a large spring forming a small pond. The water was to pour through a chute on the wheel to produce electricity; however, electricity arrived to the site before the wheel ever needed to do its job. The area had an undershot wheel providing power to a grist mill in the late 19th century.

Beautiful setting! Tons of room in the cabin. Window air conditioning was very helpful as it was really hot in July. We brought our own water. Beautiful hike right next to the cabin with scenic overlooks. We were surprised that it wasn't very buggy. Black river was muddy, but went floating down Current river- gorgeous bluffs and cool clear water. Sam A Baker state park was a great find as well. We loved our stay.

Really loved the house and location. It was great to have a short but interesting hike just outside the door, and it's only a 13 mile drive to the Wappapello trailhead of the Ozark Trail. The only bad surprise was a sign saying that the water was not drinkable and we should bring some. Needed to have that information before we arrived! As it was, we boiled water and were fine. The house is a bit better equipped than described, for instance, there's a microwave that works and a coffee maker, with filters, that works if you babysit it (the carafe doesn't really fit). Also, the queen-sized beds described are actually king-sized beds; makes a big difference when you're bringing your own linens. Fortunately, our queen-sized sheets fit ok on the double beds. Bottom line: we had a great stay and will be back with more family members next time.

I absolutely love this place. The only criticism is that they need new mattresses. The beds are uncomfortable but otherwise a 10 out of 10

Great house&location. The road leading to the house was underwater when we got there, that was on a Sunday. They came out Monday and cleared the road. The house is not very clean. Floors are not mopped, cobwebs and dust everywhere. Mattresses
are different sizes than what they say on the
website and they’ve seen better days.
Overall good value for the money. Would go again.

Our experience wasn't as good this year as it was last year. The pond is an eye soar losing water because of a sink hole and ots loaded with seaweed. There wasn't a bbq pit the house wasn't cleaned. The shower know was falling off and wouldn't turn on the hot side. But I fixed that.air condition wasn't working in 2 of the rooms and a few other issues. So wasn't too happy with our stay this year.

Lovely house and location. Make sure you get the door code from the park service people ahead of time, though.

My family went to this location on Thanksgiving weekend. We had a wonderful time exploring woods, springs, and mills. We really enjoyed the fireplace and table with a chessboard. The front porch was perfect for morning coffee with a beautiful view. The house has 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bathroom. One of the bedrooms has 4 matresses/2 bunkbeds. Total 6 beds upstairs. The main level has 2 bedrooms. The Master bedroom has a king bed and twin bed on the side. The other bedroom has 1 bed. Total of 3 beds on main level plus 2 sofas in the living room. You have to bring your own sheets or sleeping bags and pillows. there is one bathroom on the main level as well. I liked antique furniture and the style of the old world, but it was a little dusty everywhere and also not organized in kitchen cabinets and drawers, but we really didn't care about it that much. My son said the house had too many mirrors, which didn't bother me. Overall it was great, we really valued our time together there and made wonderful family memories, which is the most important.
