About this property

Unwind in the Ozarks

Our restored historic farmhouse is located in the Ozarks in the small town of Oark.

Be fully prepared to experience the charm and culture of a slower pace.

You may choose to stay in and enjoy the friendly locals or venture out to the numerous unforgettable hikes or the many water activities on the Mulberry. Visit the quaint communities or go for a scenic drive!

The farmhouse is located on scenic highway 215 as well as steps from the Oark General Store (the oldest continuously running general store in Arkansas), a great place for breakfast and burgers. The farmhouse sits right across the street from the store.

Nestled in the Mulberry Valley, Oark, a previously isolated community has become a destination for many. It’s the natural beauty that draws most and after experiencing the genuine warmth and southern charm, most return again and again.

We had a wonderful stay in Oark! The home was lovely, but the hosts really made the difference, communication was seamless and getting into the property was a breeze. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Natural State, the location couldn't be better. Highly recommended!

Home away from home.

We enjoyed our stay. The location was centralized to the places we wanted to see and the house was very nice. Lots of hunters in the area during this time of year.

Cute and historic house built in the 1930’s. Had A/C and heat & Wifi and Ruku TV. Great place to have some family time. In a beautiful area in the Ozarks. Host was so nice. The general store and breakfast place was right in front of the property. A great place to get away.

Gem in the Ozarks

This is the best little Gem in the Ozarks. Great location, beautiful surroundings, peaceful and friendly. You could almost call it a bed and breakfast with the Oark general store across the street with great food and top notch hospitality. Big shout out to the Owner, Mary. She is the icing on the cake. Already planning a return trip.

SXS Riding

We rented this cabin with some friends for a SXS riding weekend and its a great property and better host. Convenient location to trail heads, Oark General Store is great for fuel, food and last minute items you forgot. Mary and Katie are great hosts for the property and its meets its description. We've stayed here multiple times and this won't be our last stay either. See you again soon!
