We stayed to do Hot Springs and Crater of Diamonds. I wish we had stayed longer so we could have taken advantage of the fishing. The property is very peaceful and the hosts were very responsive. If we are back in the area we would love to stay again.

Great place, the private pond seems way bigger than it’s listed, we spent so much time out there casting lines with our kids and trolling around on the little boat. My 7yr old daughter caught her first bass and was absolutely hooked. We booked it because it was so close to the diamond park but honestly the stay with the pond was our best memory of the trip!

Perfect!! Close to town and the Crater of Diamonds State Park. It was everything we needed! They even had supplies we could use (buckets and screens) if needed. Our kids loved the lake and we even went out on the boat. Thank you for a great and easy experience!
