Cozy Riverfront Cabin on the Current River.   Relax, Unwind & Explore the Ozarks

Cozy Riverfront Cabin on the Current River. Relax, Unwind & Explore the Ozarks

10/10 Excellent
"Great place, comfortable, kitchen is stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils you'll need. Big yard with clover, deer come around at night. Big deck with a great view of the river or the stars/meteors at night. River is beautiful, lots of amazing springs nearby, and Rocky Falls is an excellent place to swim.There are a few nails sticking up on the deck, including on the stairs coming up. No biggie, but you'll want to be careful walking barefooted until those are fixed.And there's a surprisingly large grocery store in Van Buren if you run out of food like we did, haha. They're open relatively late too."
