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

Perfect Location

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!

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.

Beautiful Retreat

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!

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!

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!

We had an amazing time at this lodge! Brian was great to work with and responds quickly. The property is beautiful and the views are amazing! Towns are close and there is plenty to do. There is a ton of stuff to do at the lodge and a lot of room! No one was crowded with our group of 11. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Great place to stay

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. Definitely would stay here again!

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.

Annual Brothers Bash

We celebrated our 17th annual Brothers Bash at this beautiful Mountainburg property. Everything was just as described in VRBO, pictures and all. Plenty of room, clean, good beds, plenty of kitchen utensils, pool table that can change into a ping pong table, plenty of board games, beautiful area, etc. We couldn't have asked for a better Host for a property. Brian was kind, explained information that he thought would be helpful to us, and just made us feel comfortable. Thank you, Brian. You're an absolutely wonderful Host. Highly recommend this property.
