Spring Break Getaway

We stayed here for spring break to use for hiking in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The house and property were beautiful, and the owner was very accommodating. He let us interact with the animals and ensured we had a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a wonderful getaway in Northern Arkansas

Weekend and state parks

The owner was nice and shared his goats, pig and cats with us if we wanted only and kids loved the animals. It was a very rainy weekend but the gravel roads (about 1.25 miles were able to be driven). Kids enjoyed the stocked pond as it stopped raining one evening enough to take our 6 and 4 and 2 year olds to the pond to fish. Each caught and released several small fish. For what we were looking for and the 7 of us it was an enjoyable time.

Great place for a family retreat / reunion

our group of 9 older adults had a wonderful time at Brian’s place. 5 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms. 2 kitchen areas. Plenty of games, places for puzzling, a big dining table so that we could all eat together, good beds, private. I’d recommend to anyone with a group that’d like some peace and privacy in a beautiful place with a very friendly and helpful landlord. Thanks Brian!

Excellent for large gatherings with that country feel

Owner is very polite and courteous. Family loved feeding the goats, fish, and the huge pig. Lots of things to do. Pool table, beer pong, foosball, fire pit, volleyball, horseshoes and fishing all on the property. Lots of room for sleeping, lounging, and gathering in the dining area for a large family meal.

Great spot for extended family gathering with little kids who love to fish!

Easily enough beds/bedrooms for 10. Great dual kitchen setup and lots of great seating inside and out. Inside and outside abundance of games and entertainment options including inflatable movie screen. Fish pond was fabulous for the little ones. Such fun to see wildlife. We loved it!

The house was just what we were looking for, and the property is beautiful. Such a retreat away and a great place to spend time with family.

Beautiful, tranquil place!

This was a rest and relaxation trip after the hectic Christmas holidays and it did not disappoint. The lodge was roomy and comfortable and there was lots to do for 3 teenage boys , their moms and grandmothers. Fishing, hiking and just hanging out was enjoyed by all. Would highly recommend this beautiful lodge to any group, big or small. The two kitchens and living spaces are a big plus!

Mountain Lodge

The lodge was large, clean, warm, and all the amenities of home. There were so many games and activities - inside and out. The children loved horse shoes, feeding the catfish and ducks at the pond, but the biggest hit(literally) was Penelope the not/mini pig!

This was a great place for our group of 10. The checkin and checkout processes were easy. Brian was very responsive to any questions we had. The place was clean. The linens were nice. The beds were comfortable. It was very handy to have two refrigerators. It was a great place to come back to after riding the trails. There was plenty of room to park the trucks and trailers.

Long weekend OHV trip with friends

Absolutely everything we needed for our weekend getaway. The cabin perfect for our group and made it easy to cook meals while socializing with everyone there. Brain the owner went above and beyond to answer ever question we had and to accommodate our long trailer situation. We had had a great time minus the fact that this is located in a dry county so for anyone read this make sure you pack enough. We defiantly had a blast with lots of laughs and Brain keep up the good work.

Close to State Parks

Great property close to Lake Fort Smith State Park and Devil's Den State Park. We came for fall foliage and hiking. The foliage was late this year, so it was just okay, but we thoroughly enjoyed the hiking. The owner shares a lot of information and makes a point to ensure guests feel welcome. We enjoyed meeting the goats and pet pig, Penelope. There are tons of fun extras in/around the lodge (pool table, foosball, pond with catfish, porch swings, etc.) and the living spaces are spacious. A couple of the bedrooms were a little tight, but we were happy to have the larger beds, so we made it work. While there is room for up to 12 people (assuming you don't mind sharing a full size bed), we limited our group to 8 since there are only 2 bathrooms. Would stay here again if I went back to the same area.
