If you are looking for a place that is quiet, beautiful and restorative, then this is it. The cabin and property has everything you could possibly need for a stay of a couple of days (like us) or an extended stay of several days or more. Nestled deep into the property you are rewarded with the solitude this location Gove you. We brought food but did make a run into Yellville13 miles away once to pick up some additional provisions. The location is ideal for any number of outdoor activities: hiking, floating, or kayaking. Take your time and enjoy this place.
The accommodations are quaint, and fastidiously attended too. If you are seeking a resort like experience, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are wanting a place to smooth out the rough edges of your daily routine, then this place is for you. When you walk up the ramp and through the clean and open screened-in porch a door leads you inside and you are met with an open and good-sized kitchen with dining table and chairs. Plenty of elbow room. A bathroom is centrally located on the main floor is clean and efficient. A nice-sized living room with television. There is even a small reading nook. Off the living area is a bedroom with two double beds. Up the stairs is a vaulted ceiling loft with a double bed. I knew this was my kind of place when I saw a copy of “A Brave New World” sitting on a shelf.
Outside there is a covered picnic table and kettle grill with everything you need except charcoal. Bring some and use the handy charcoal chimney. Across the way you’ll find a large metal fire pit. If you think about it, it’s kind of perfect.
I can’t say enough about Steve, the property owner. We met him shortly after we arrived and he was just a really cool person to meet. He was genuinely glad that we were there and was a gracious and informative host. We are already planning to return in the spring when the dogwoods look like snow. I can only imagine what this place would look like when the leaves turn in the fall.
This is the perfect getaway for a couple or couple of couples. Thanks Steve! Looking forward to visiting you again.
