We absolutely loved our stay! The property was beautiful, and we especially enjoyed the porch, yard, and peaceful surroundings. There was so much to do nearby. We spent lots of time enjoying Lake Ouachita. The scenery was gorgeous with all the green trees and nature. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay again!

The Ranch House was everything the host described and more. This was a last minute 4th of July visit to Lake Quachita for my family. We made our plans at the last minute so searching for lodging was not going well until the Ranch House came across the computer screen. I booked it immediately, luckily my kids and I all had beds, no sharing. It was a great home, extremely clean and the host offered immediate responses to questions as well as suggestions for firework shows. Could not ask for a better get an away. Thank you

Worked for what we needed it for...

It was a bit further away from what we wanted to do but it worked out great since we were flexible with loose plans. It's tucked away from the road and peaceful.

Sweet place

Had a great time hunting in the national forest with one of my best friends. We had a very comfortable stay in the house. Ate good food and made memories. Look forward for next year.

Great house! Great host!

Great house! Great host! The house was immaculately clean and well stocked, everything from shampoo to the fire pit being ready for us to light. We enjoyed having our coffee on the deck and watching the deer every morning. I just can’t say enough good things about this property. We will be back!

Peace and Quiet

House is located a half mile or so off the highway. It's at the end of a road so there will be no traffic. Very quiet and secluded location. Would be a good place for a telescope. Probably 1-2 miles from the Highway 27 Fishing Village. About the same distance to the nearest Womble Trail Head. Note that you will have a long, hard climb in the first hundred yards if you go west from this trailhead. Plenty of room for 4 of us. Might be a bit cramped if you had six adults. Beds were reasonably comfortable and kitchen was adequately stocked. House was in good repair. Also has a wheelchair ramp which is good for those that can't do stairs easily. Plenty of porch space for mountain bikes and they should be quite safe at this location.
