We enjoyed our stay and the property was exactly as listed. Our hosts responded quickly to our questions and even gave us some great recommendations in the area! 10/10 would stay again!!
This house was in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect size for my husband and I. We went to AR on our motorcycle and this house was in a central location for six scenic routes. Jerry and Amy were very welcoming and made check in/check out very easy. The house was very clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. If we stay in the area again we will check to see if this house is available.
We enjoyed everything about our stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this VRBO.
We enjoyed our time at Lakeshore Retreat. It was perfect for the two of us and we had everything we needed. Slept very well in the king size bed and the double recliners were really comfortable. Everything was as advertised and the hosts were exceptional.
The property was perfect for us and was very clean. It is in a pretty area that is surrounded by trees and sounds of nature. The dock makes for a pretty view of the lake as well. Kitchen supplies were enough to make some quick meals and the a/c works really well as we visited in summer. The hosts were very kind and made our trip more enjoyable. Mr. Falleur provided me with helpful information about the area such as kayaking and fishing. They also have a binder that lists different restaurants in the area and places of interest. Communication was great and we enjoyed our stay. Mr. and Mrs. Falleur are great hosts and I highly recommend this property if you plan on staying in that part of Arkansas.

House/cabin is very close to the owner's house, so if that would be a problem for you, then this would not be the place to stay. The owner's did not bother us and the place is a beautiful property, so if you just want a clean, safe place to stay for a few nights, (with a very short walk to the dock) then this is the place for you. Would definitely recommend this property. Prices were very reasonable for the accommodations!
The place was nice, clean and quiet. The only downside for me is the bedding was very scented and for someone that is sensitive to fragrances, it made sleeping less than desirable.
We had a great stay at this comfortable, quiet and spotlessly clean house. It was completely stocked with everything you would need and a great location for lots of activities. The bed and the living room seating were comfortable. There was a really cute patio with fire pit and chairs in addition to the chairs on the front porch. We took the owners recommendations for hiking and dining and it was spot on, We hiked at Mt Magazine, Mt Nebo and Petit Jean. And dined at Tarasco, Venezia Pasta and Fat Daddy’s BBQ. All of them were excellent but Venezia Pasta blew us away, SO GOOD. Can’t wait to stay here again sometime in the near future.
The cottage was perfect for my wife and I to have quick little get away. It is right on the lake and close to several state parks for hiking.The cottage was clean and the owners were very friendly andres
responsive.
Very nice host. Place was clean. Tucked away in a quiet beautiful wooded lot with a lake view! So relaxing. We went hiking but I could have sat there all day and read a book.

Beautiful little house on the lake. It provided everything needed for the perfect stay!
Great location near family. This cute apartment met all of our needs. Comfortable and clean. Very accommodating hosts. Very pleased with our 3 day stay.
I had a great four day stay to do some fishing and take a break on my drive to TN. As usual, Amy and Jerry were awesome. Jerry knows I'm a rookie fisherman so he loaned me some seasonally appropriate lures. I mentioned to them I wrenched my back my 1st day of fishing. So they gave me a heating pad. It was a lifesaver! A great place with awesome hosts! I'll be back in the spring.

About the host
Hosted by Jerry Falleur
My husband (Jerry) and I (Amy) have lived in the Russellville-Paris-Mena area for more than 50 years. We have adventured to many places in the state during this time. We have two adult children and four grand children. Our personal interests include: food, cooking, fishing, hunting, hiking, running, walking, water-falling, site seeing, power-boating, scuba diving, canoeing and kayaking.
Why they chose this property
We were living about an hour West in the town of Charleston, I am a radiation therapist (recently retired) I took a locum tenum job in Russellville during vacation from my normal job in Fort Smith. Subsequently, I decided I would like to take a full time position that was open there. My husband was agreeable as long as we could find a place on the lake or with a very good view. He is an engineer for a company in a nearby community. After looking for a house or property in a number of area communities we discovered this property. We cleared it by hand, contracted the building of the cottage to live in while we sold our Charleston property. As luck would have it our property there sold quickly. We moved to the cottage and started construction of the house we live in now.
What makes this property unique
Our clean and modern cottage is convenient to many of the local attractions. It is a 1 minute walk on the trail to our dock on the lake. It offers a quiet peaceful, very low traffic environment. It is close to the town of Dardanelle (6 miles) & Russellville (7 miles) for restaurants and shopping. It is equipped with DSL/wireless internet and Direct TV (smart TV). It is only 0.6 miles off of State Highway 22 in a quiet and peaceful area with plenty of room for trailer parking. 2 miles from nearest boat ramp. 3.4 miles from Mount Nebo.
