The most peaceful and the best view of the mountains and the sunrise and sunset. Clean and very spacious. Charming place for a quiet getaway. The young qdts stayed off the phones and actually played outside and actually played board games when it rained. We had the best time ever.

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

This place is amazing! The host is incredibly kind and makes sure you know exactly where to go. The location is great, leaving you feeling as though you're away from the hubbub of life but still only 30 minutes from Fayetteville. I highly recommend this property for your family vacation!

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!

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. No issues during our stay, our kids got to meet the animals. Special thank you to Brian for helping change a flat tire on our day of departure. Wonderful stay, will be back again!

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.
