This place is great. Quiet with a big yard and a pond. We toasted marshmallows in the fire pit. Its very centrally located for all the local crystal mines and Lake Ouachita. Karen pulled up just as we arrived with some farm fresh eggs. Great stay!

Jose and his group were great guests. They washed and folded all the sheets from the bunk room. Wiped down everything and even swept. Gave me some time to do some extra cleaning. I'd be glad to host again.

Jamie's group did a good job cleaning up the bath towels and kitchen before they left except for the popcorn and snack wrapper throughout the house. The kids went a little crazy with the chalk on the window screens. Looks like they had a great time digging for crystals.
