My extended family spent an incredible late fall weekend at this beautiful combination of an inn and vacation rental. The property itself is remote and beautiful. The on site owners literally devote themselves to providing for the guests' comfort and entertainment. A separate residence for part of the family is ideal for adult children and their spouses. The owner gave us a lesson in bread making as well as making delicious rolls and desserts for our Thanksgiving meal. Fine linens, new kitchen gadgets, board games, a sound system with iPod connector - all examples of the things that make your stay here one delight after another!

We took our grandsons ages 16, 11 and 10 and stayed in the East Quarters. My sister, her husband and 12 year old great-grandaughter stayed in the Meadow house. From catching perch after perch with bread or ABC gum, to splitting logs for their own campfire, to watching the sunset over the lake, to playing games of tag in the huge yard to churning their own homemade ice cream and making brownies with Lorilee , it was everything the adults and kids could have wished for a family vacation. The view from the lodge is spectacular, the grounds are gorgeous, everything is well maintained. We took our lunch down to the lake and spent the afternoon every day. The water was perfect temperature, there is a paddle boat available for rent which the boys used daily, the water is so clear the kids could see the fish take their bait! We never left the whole week, so make sure you get groceries ahead of time, we stopped at the Walmart in Harrison, 45 minutes away and stocked up. A benefit my sister and I had not counted on was that the kids all wanted to spend the night at the same house so every other night the other couple was kid-free! What a blessing it was to have Lorilee and Michael as our hosts! When we said goodbye to them it was like we were leaving dear friends. I highly recommend a vacation at Trimble Creek.

Every year for 22 years, 4 buddies of mine and I get away for a long weekend to play cards, watch sports and argue politics. Our criteria for lodging is comfort, out of the way, access to great food, and beautiful scenery. This year, our stay at Trimble Creek Lodge exceeded all expectations. When I read the description and looked at the pictures on VRBO, I thought "wow, this looks like a nice place." When we arrived, I thought, "Holy Cow! The description and pictures do not do it justice." The sleeping quarters were warm, inviting, spacious and accommodating. The Lodge, however, was absolutely spectacular! It is beautiful, ornate, and spacious with games, books, a pool table, fire place...everything you could imagine PLUS a most majestic view of Bull Shoals Lake. Incredible. What really made our stay, however, was the graciousness of our hosts, Michael and Lorilee. They thought of everything. I have two strong recommendations, however: #1 make sure you have everything you need before you arrive (i.e. drinks, snacks, etc), because you will NOT want to leave. #2 Order meals! Lecy's Shrimp and Pasta was spectacular and the Pork Tenderloin was delicious! Thanks Michael and Lorilee for an outstanding weekend!

We look forward to our second holiday in your meadow house! What a great way to enjoy family vacations. Last year the kids rung in the New year in the claw foot bubble bath; this year the turkeys can have Thanksgiving leftovers in the best tree house ever! See you soon... The Foxes

Wow! What a great mini-vacation. Our three days were packed full of fun and great memories. To name a few – wildlife experiences boat rides, minnow search, dancing at midnight, great meals. You are wonderful hosts and such attention to detail. A perfect 10!

Thank you! The accommodations were wonderful. The fishing was excellent. We will give you a 5 star rating to everyone we know! We haven’t had such a relaxing week in a long time and we’d love to stay for a few more weeks.
