Relax on the porches, which run the length of the house front & back, enjoy the swing or rocking chairs, watch cattle & horses grazing in the pastures & catch glimpses of deer that visit almost daily. You will not be cramped for space in our big comfy house with peaceful surroundings. Kids love it here! CLICK ON OWNERS WEBSITE FOR MORE PHOTOS!
After a day of diamond hunting at Crater of Diamonds State Park or water activities on the lake or river, return to a quiet, peaceful setting. The lodge is a private home with rustic exterior & surprising interior. All rooms are spacious & designed with your total comfort in mind. Bedrooms are the master 'Blue Bayou' room in cool blues with queen bed, ensuite bath & walk-in closet, the second master with another queen bed, the 'Olde West' room with antique furniture & western theme with full bed, & the bunkhouse twin BR. The house has an open floor plan. The LR, large kitchen & den divide the house with 2 bedrooms & a bath on each side providing privacy for 2 families if needed. New oak cabinets in kitchen were crafted from trees right here on the farm.
Owners home & a small cabin are the only other ones on the property & are a good distance away.

We planned a girls weekend getaway (5/17/13 - 5/21/13) and found diamond K lodge on the internet. The photos don't do the house justice! It's beautiful, clean, quiet and a good place to stay for much needed rest and relaxation. We all felt we needed time away to destress....we certainly found it in this gem of a place. The porches in the front and back of the house are the length of the home. Sitting on those big rockers watching the cattle graze and watching the martins fly in and out of their bird house was so relaxing. The house is well equipped with everything you need. Jerry and Jane are fantastic owners. We enjoyed visiting with Jerry and learning about the farm and his suggestions of things to do and see around the area. We went to Crater of Diamonds State Park, visited historic Washington, AR as well as Hot Springs, AR. The drive to Hot Springs was only 50 miles and it is a beautiful scenic drive. We had a fabulous time and definitely recommend staying here....you'll love it! The farm fresh eggs and homemade fig preserve were an added bonus! We all agreed that we would love to return and stay here again! I highly recommend booking this house. You get so much for the price!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: We so appreciate your kind remarks! It was a pleasure to have you visit. Glad you girls enjoyed yourselves, & we will be happy to have you back again anytime. Jerry & Jane

Loved, loved, loved everything about this house, location and home owners!! Perfect house for a 2 family spring break vacation spot! Our girls (ages 9, 8 and 4) absolutly loved this house as did the grown ups! The home is very warm and inviting. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy yourself. Jerry gave a tour of the chicken house...awesome!! The fresh eggs were a treat and experience for the girls. They were in awe of how tastey fresh eggs are! We loved the fig perserves...wish I had some at home!! My husband and I really enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching and listening to the purple martins. If we ever go back to Murfreesboro we will stay here again!! Thank you so much Jane and Jerry for opening your home!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, girls getaway.
Owner response: Great to know you enjoyed the farm experience! Enjoyed having your families visit & your lovely girls. Thanks so much for your kind comments about the house, etc. Welcome back anytime!

My husband and I spent five relaxing nights at this wonderful place. The house is very welcoming....beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home. We especially loved sitting in the rockers on front and back porches. We were treated to fresh eggs, sausage, and homemade fig preserves. I would highly recommend staying at the Diamond K Lodge!! We plan to return soon for another stay.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for your kind words about the lodge. So glad you enjoyed your stay & welcome back anytime! Will be looking forward to your return visit. Jane & Jerry

My husband I stayed at this beautiful place for 3 nights and we truly enjoyed our visit. The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you need. We have rented several houses thru VRBO in the past and there seems to always be something you need to go and buy such as a skillet or cookie sheet and this place had everything we needed. We truly loved the porches. Each morning we sat on the front porch and enjoyed the porch swing and rocking chairs and in the evening we sat in the rocking chairs and enjoyed watching the cows and horses. It was truly beautiful! We enjoyed our visits with Jerry and he brought us sausage and preserves to go along with the farm fresh eggs that were waiting for us in the refrigerator when we got there. The house and the farm are a little piece of heaven. While we were there we visited Lake Greeson that is not too far away and had a picnic and watched as they released water from the Dam. That was a treat to watch the water rise in the stream and see the folks start their journey in their kayaks. Another day we went to Lake Catherine that is outside of Hot Springs and enjoyed a hike and picnic. Thank you Jerry and Jane!Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed your stay at the farm. We enjoy having special guests like you. Welcome back anytime!

Do yourself a favor, stop reading reviews and book this place NOW! What a fantastic place to stay. The house is almost as charming as the owners. We were treated to a tour of the farm along with freshly made preserves, sausage and eggs laid earlier the same day. This is an outstanding house at a ridiculously low price. We had four people in our party and for the cost of one bedroom in a B & B in town we had an entire house! Easy to find and a short distance to Murfreesboro, we believe you will find this property as we did, a true home away from home.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Wow! Thanks Sarah! We loved having your family visit the farm, & we're truly thankful for your great review. So glad you enjoyed your time here! It's always a treat to host such special guests.

Our stay at the ranch was an experience we will never forget. The property was clean, well maintained, and everything and more that the owners described. Meeting "Farmer Jerry" was somenthing unforgetable. From his stories, to his farm fresh eggs, sausage, and home made fig jam. Showing us around his working chicken operation, to meeting his beef cattle and horses. We both found ourselves sitting on the back porch just in aw of the nature around us. You are out in the middle of no where so to speak, and it gets dark at night, but it is an experience like non other. I would highly recomend this property.Recommended for: Families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.
Owner response: So glad you enjoyed your stay! When people get away from the city lights, they discover just how beautiful the stars & night sky really are. We love being "in the middle of nowhere" for the peace & quiet, even though town is only 8 miles away, we don't have the noise & traffic, and we're so happy to share the experience of farm life with others. Hope you can come back someday. Thanks for the great review!

What a wonderful stay my husband and I had at the Diamond K! The lodge was immaculate, well maintained and stocked with supplies (Towels, linens, cookware, silverware, dishes, microwave, fridge, oven, dishwasher, etc.) -- Anything one would need to do cooking, etc. We got a tour of the chicken house from Mr. Jerry, which was eye-opening for us! Fresh eggs and sausage too! We even got to help make more sausage because Mr. Jerry was out, that was fun, only because we don't have to do it all the time :) We took a trip into Hot Springs, which was very interesting and neat as well. We were completely satisfied and enjoyed our stay very much!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: What a nice couple! So glad you enjoyed the lodge & the farm experience. Jerry was so pleased that you took an interest in making sausage. You left the house in such good shape that we could hardly tell anyone had been there. Thanks! Welcome back anytime!

Our family had an amazing time at Diamond K Lodge! We love the owners and are so thankful for their hospitality. The house is beautiful, very clean and well decorated. We loved the fresh eggs and sausage! Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to us around the farm. The kids loved the hen house, feeding the hogs and bulls and especially the tour of the garden! I highly recommend this rental as it truly is a "home away from home!" The owners go out of their way to make your stay perfect!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much Robyn! Glad you enjoyed the farm experience. Jerry enjoyed entertaining the kids. Welcome back any time! J & J
