About this property

Rustic charm meets modern comfort at Arsulas House

Welcome to Arsula's House Sitting atop Goe Hill. Nestled in a serene location, our short-term rental property offers a peaceful escape with breathtaking views lots of visiting wildlife. Immerse yourself in nature within our well-appointed retreat, featuring modern amenities and comfortable accommodations. Discover the perfect balance between relaxation and adventure. Explore the surrounding area and indulge in outdoor activities during the day, then unwind in our tranquil oasis under the starry night sky. Experience the essence of tranquility at Arsula's House.

A-su-la's house was built by my grandfather nearly 50 odd years ago for my grandmother Arsula. We have updated much but tried to leave the intent and ambiance of the place as Johnny B intended it to be. You will enjoy this spacious quiet home setting on 9 Wooded and well secluded acres for your enjoyment , well away from roads, traffic and neighbors.
You could spend hour on end exploring this place as it has a nice stocked fishing pond (catch and release only), the live spring is just a little walk in the woods, there are large rocks the Indians used for grinding, and it is jam packed with history and nature. There's a 1800's cemetery on the property
.
It sets on top of Goe Hill with a beautiful scenic view overlooking the Stone fort valley. As you look south east across the valley you can see Stone fort bluffs and Tom Dick Hill and the start of the Shawnee national forest. You can visit places like Burden Falls, Bell Smith Springs, Natural Stone Bridge, John Mack Hollow, Buzzards Roost, McCormick Lookout Tower, Trigg Tower, Jack’s Trail Ride, Camp Ondessonk, Cedar Falls, Fern Cliff State Park. I’ve had many hours of fun on the Little Saline River and so much more, all of these just a few minutes away. The Garden of the Gods State Park and Cave in Rock State Park are just a few minutes farther away.
