We had a great stay. There was 12 of us for 2 nights and did a float trip at KC’s on the current which was about 20-25 minutes away. Love that there were 7 bedrooms. Beautiful peaceful place. We used the fire pit and pickleball court. We also loved the ping pong in the house and did tournaments. Such fun! getting there We had an issue with the GPS when we got close. Need to just look for the while pillars and sign at the entrance on K.

Great place for a group of 14 friends to stay! Kitchen was superb and had everything we could possibly need. Plenty of space inside and out. The ping pong table was the favorite fun addition! The covered patio was perfect as was the pond, fire pit and walking trails. Bonus points for the very sweet Shy (dog) and Sweetie (cat). We had a wide range of feelings and conversations about the decor but that makes life richer and more interesting :) The lake on the property down the road was a great place to see a beautiful sunset and the fishing was fantastic. The A-frame cabin being built by it is going to be gorgeous. Ashley the host was great to work with and the house was very clean. We appreciated the small details like drawers labeled with contents in the kitchen and a small fan in each room. She was very accommodating and prompt in responding to messages. Would highly recommend this place!

Family gathering

The lodge was a wonderful place for the ten adults and two small children in our family to gather and spend a long weekend! We had everything we needed in the lodge.

We visited at the end of July. The lodge was perfect for our family. We wanted to relax and just spend quality time together. We fished and swam in the pond everyday! The shade provided by the trees made the extreme temps bearable. Our whole family played ping pong so much that we had a tournament our last two nights! The furniture was clean and so comfy and the kitchen has everything you could need! The impressive mounts in the lodge led to a lot of questions and further conversation which I appreciated because it got the family talking about something we don’t usually get to talk about! We decided we would try to make this a yearly trip. 10 out of 10.

Great Weekend Getaway

We stayed here with 2 other families and it’s great! The house has plenty of beds and bathrooms, is very clean and has an awesome space to eat together with a full kitchen. The outside is great with a pond to fish, use the paddle boat and paddle board. The locations was about 20 minutes away where we could float for the day. We would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Christmas break in the Ozarks

This rental was amazing. We had 9 of us and the lodge was spacious. The ping pong table was a hit. We enjoyed both the outdoor fireplace and the fire pit. Only concern I have was the condition of some of the kitchenware that needed replaced. Thanks for a great family reunion accommodation.

The property was beautiful and peaceful. Very spacious house with room to spread out. Kitchen made for entertaining and gatherings! Everything was easy to find and well labeled. We used the paddle boat, pickle ball, corn hole, trails, and grill. We fell in love with the pets on the property. Not a lot to do in the area without driving 30 min but we made an effort to drive in to the Blue Heron in Van Buren. No need to leave though! May return for a holiday gathering.

There’s something special about getting away to a place where time slows down a little. We stayed at a beautiful lodge tucked away on several peaceful acres with a stocked pond perfect for fishing, and it was honestly the reset we didn’t know we needed. The amenities were second to none, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, and every part of the property felt thoughtfully designed to help you unwind. Good company, peaceful mornings by the water, and a place that makes you feel at home — hard to beat that.

Cousins weekend

Nine of us women cousins thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay. Lodge and grounds are beautiful. Everything we needed was right there. Only suggestion would be to include the pool fee in the daily rate and it be available all day. Thanks for a great time.

Annual canoe trip

Last year, my family and 2 other families traveled to this area to canoe/raft on the Current River. We decided to make it an annual event but needed to find a different place to stay. This property had everything we needed and then some. When we found this property, we decided to come down a couple days early and spent 2 days swimming in the pool and fishing in the pond before our rafting day on the river. As soon as we got here, everyone said they wanted to come back here again next year.

Perfect for Large Groups

This property was amazing!! The pictures do not do it justice. We had 8 adults, 6 children, and 2 babies and this space more than worked for us! It was very clean and had tons of amenities beyond what is it listed (ping pong table, tons of books, a cabinet of games, a small playground area for little kids, lots of extra kitchen appliances, an extra folding table with benches, and much more). If you reserved the pool, there are some floaties and pool toys available as well. The grounds are absolutely picturesque, the pond is really neat with a little paddle boat, the pool is well maintained, fully gated (great for roaming little ones) and gets a good bit of shade throughout the day, and some walking trails are all around the property. I would say the only negatives were there was little to no cell reception (neither AT&T or Verizon) and the internet was very slow. Given the remote location, this may be an amenity to some, but I think it’s important to disclose. Some in our group needed to do some work and we were planning to stream movies in the evenings for the kids and those were not really an option with the bandwidth available, plan accordingly. If you are looking for a quiet vacation with lots of room to breath and tons of character this is definitely an amazing find!

Great stay!

We had a wonderful family get together on this property. We had a few young kids and really appreciated the built in gates around the stairs, pool, etc. They loved the pond and paddle boat as well as the pool and fire setup for s'mores. Kitchen was very well appointed and host was friendly and communicative. Great stay and would certainly recommend for a laidback weekend with family or friends.

Everything needed for a post Covid weekend

Our group had a great time spending the weekend relaxing and hanging out at this property. We brought groceries and our own entertainment and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy ourselves. At the property, they have A LOT of amenities! Two fridges for storing all your food and drinks, and a separate A/C thermostat on the 2nd floor to make sure everyone is comfortable at night. We also loved the wandering dog who always wanted to lay around and hang with us outdoors. If you are considering a stay, do note the WiFi is not strong enough for streaming, and cell signal only works in some places outdoors, but it was still good enough for making calls and sending texts. Would recommend for anyone looking for an affordable spot to get friends or family together for a weekend!

Amazing place, impeccably clean

We had a great time! The lodge is awesome, great place to hangout with friends. We enjoyed floating in the pond, which is well kept as well. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. And they keep the place spotless. Literally the cleanest home rental I’ve been to (I’ve been to quite a few). We’ll be back!

Great vacation at the farm

Great pool and an idyllic pond for fishing. One of the most organized property managements we've seen - anywhere. All the kids enjoyed the pool and pond. Plenty of room for our group of 17.
