The Landing - Current River, Van Buren MO

Late review but we had such a blast this summer and cannot wait to go back. The staff was very friendly, and helpful loading everything and transporting us. Highly Recommend them and counting down days until we come back.

This is a great place to go to float the Current River. Especially if you like being driven upstream and dropped off to float back 8 miles and stop back at the hotel. Literally off the river and in your room and shower within 5 minutes of getting back. Have not been since the fire but expect it to be just as good, if not better now.

Wonderful place to visit in the fall! Ate at the restaurant, great experience - the Fillet was cooked perfect and tasted amazing. The staff made sure you were always taken care of.

Stayed in the main building overnight, very clean rooms, great room setups with modern conveniences, comfortable beds and pillows.

Excellent view of the river. Fall colors were amazing. You should definitely make this an annual summer and fall trip

Food was just ok quality and quantities are a problem. Loved the service atmosphere was great. Deserts were a 5 dollar desserts not 10 or 11. Salmon was good baked potato good.

Didn’t go inside the main lodge per se, but if it’s anything like the event being hosted down along the bank, then it was really wonderful. Great folks running the show, within the grounds as well as providing hayrides and directing traffic in the lot. Amazing, personable, knowledgeable and passionate vendors to their crafts, Delicious Food from the surrounding area, and Amazing musicians! An all ‘round Awesome Community

I was at a fall festival at the Landing out doors on the current river. Lots of vendors and food trucks

The Landing has everything you could need! Drivers are extremely nice and full of information! All in all, just wonderful!

The Landing is a great place to stay. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff. I would highly recommend it to all our friends. The Steadman's.

First time back in years they have done a magnificent job of rebuilding after the fire. Great food and service in the restaurant. Accommodation are spick and spand very comfortable.

This place has it all. Place to stay overnight. Place to rent tube's, canoes and rafts. Place to buy merchandise. Has everything you need.

Made reservations for a canoe and hotel room, and checked that the Blue Heron was open for our date. Iwas told to be there at 745 for the canoe. I arrived to find the restaurant was not going to be open and had to wait almost two hours to be on our way to float. After floating, I checked in to the room, and talked to the owner about the service. He said "this is a family owned busines, and I'm sure someone in the family knows all that". I hope 'someone' in the family does something about it.

The landing is a awesome place to rent floats from. Very courteous and clean place. Also love the amenity of the holding your car keys for you.

Very best floating on the river! The staff is always friendly and professional. The hotel is always comfortable.

I have been coming here almost every year now since 2017, always been an blast and I am currently planning on going again for Memorial day week 2023. I generally go and float two or three days in a row and never regret it.

Everyone has always been friendly and fun to talk to. Even the locals I've met fishing on the river have been amazing.

Yes, if you are from a city, the bus ride can be a little interesting. These people have been driving these roads for years, many times a day. I trust them with my life to rip it through the turns, they know every inch of them.

Is the price steep? Well, you tell me what it would cost for you to drive two cars out here, then buy and bring your own tubes. I think they were under charging for years. Easily a $50 service per adult IMO when you consider how much you are really getting out of it. You have to keep in mind this is probably the largest source of revenue for this town. Be grateful this service exists, especially after the tragic fire they experiences.

Sent us on a 5 hour tour at 1: 45pm. Got back at around 10pm. They didn’t mention the river was low when they took our money. A heads up would have been nice.

Cost WAY To Much, just to give someone a ride up river. Cheaper to bring another car and just park upstream and drive the second car to pick up the first when your done. My experience was as fun as the a/c getting turned off the moment we got in the van so the ride up was hot. Then after the hot ride they didn't bring the life jackets. They did send more life jackets but we did have to wait another 30 min in the sun. So heck no this place shouldn't be charging that much. You get one

A bit pricy and a big slope down but good equipment. The raft for the little kids is worth it just make sure you have two people to paddle it.
