About this property

Enjoy a Peaceful & Secluded Home on Bull Shoals Lake - Direct Lake Access!

**Escape to the lake in quiet solitude and leave behind the stresses of everyday life**

Our Place is located on Bull Shoals Lake within 1000 acres of protected land placed in a conservation easement to prevent development, remain a home for wildlife and preserve the beauty of nature.
This is a very secluded property and getting to it is part of the fun! The last three miles to this property are down good old-fashioned dirt/gravel roads.  The roads are suitable and easily travelled by cars and trucks alike without the need for 4-wheel drive.  It is a place get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the presence of nature. The lake is a few steps away from the front door and there are cleared and blazed hiking trails that allow you to get out into the woods without getting lost! While relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere, you can still stay connected with free WiFi access. Watch birds, deer, turkey, and other wildlife from the home's deck or screened-in porch. A fisherman’s paradise with direct access to Bull Shoals Lake less than 50 yards from the front door! You can swim, fish, or just watch the sunset. The home provides plenty of space to park, turn around and charge your boat or watercraft with two covered parking areas. Finish the day enjoying the company of one another while relaxing around the rock-lined fire pit. Those looking for a day out adventure may enjoy some of the many area hiking trails, go fishing on the White River, spend the day floating or canoeing the Buffalo River. Come, slow down, relax and be revived.

This property is remote which is great. Long drive to get to town. Water access would be great if lake levels were up. Still caught a 19" 4 lb bass from shore. Great fire pit and ammenities. Everything you'll need for a great trip.

This property is one of the best VRBO properties we have ever been at for the purpose of relaxation and rest. You might need a car or truck that can handle rock/stone roads to get here, but any car or truck can probably do so. And it is well worth your effort and time to do so. The property is extremely clean and easy to find things. The owners are prompt if you need any help. And the grounds are amazing if you're looking for outdoor refreshment. We look forward to returning to this property again and again. You will, too.

The place was awesome. The secluded nature was the best. Fishing was not the greatest (maybe the time of the year or our own ability). Roads could use some improvements, but maybe that helped with the seclusion.

Secluded Oasis

When we pulled into the driveway on our first day there was a deer grazing in the front yard. Part of why I choose this house was it's secluded location, to relax and hoping to enjoy the wildlife. Which it delivered. It was very clean, the beds were soft, the pillowds were may personal favorite, and the kitchen had everything we needed. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone.

This is a very secluded, private place. Yes, it is exactly as listed--off the beaten path. It is exceptionally clean and has everything you could possibly need for a stay. Everything in the listing is accurate, and the host spares nothing in preparing an inviting, comfortable, private stay in this home. She even provided us with the makings for s'mores and a dozen farm fresh organic eggs! The lake is only a short walk from the home and is in a private cove of the lake. We were looking for a private, secluded, and serene place to get away and this was perfect! Thank you, Dwan, for preserving this peaceful, beautiful place and the habitat that supports such diverse wildlife! Some of the wildlife we saw included: armadillos, several deer, squirrels, a flock of turkeys and numerous other birds (tufted titmouse, pileated woodpeckers, downy woodpeckers, cardinals, blue jays, bluebirds, vultures, red tailed hawks). We even saw some wild hogs. We will be back!

Perfect Secluded Locatiob

We absolutely loved our stay. I have stayed in other VRBO homes so when I say that this house is stocked, it is STOCKED. We made fires every night and they left a welcome gift for us to make smores. There was plenty of room and we enjoyed the canoes. We even got to see a bald eagle while we were at the lake. It was my first visit to Arkansas and i will be back. My 9 year old son loves the woods and he felt at home being a little mountain man. Thank you for a great stay.

Spring is beautiful but fall is my personal favorite. Take care and come back! Dwan

Amazing property!

We absolutely love our short stay at our place. Everything was perfect during our stay and dwan thought of absolutely everything. Even farm fresh eggs. We went boating on bull shoals lake at Jordan marina and spent the rest of our trip enjoying Our Place and the beautiful property. We did go out a bit on the canoe supplied which was a fun thing to have available! We were mistakenly charged for a missing pillow that was not taken with us but wasn't a big deal to us considering the amazing affordable vacation. We hope to re visit and would/have highly recommended.

Look no further for tranquility.

We wanted to go somewhere that was off the beaten path, quiet, peaceful, where you can hear nothing but the wind through the trees, and see the stars. We were happy that is just what we found here. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are nice and have extras of things you may have forgotten. Everything was very clean. Plenty of cozy blankets for winter months. As far as cooking, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed walking the trails around the property and walking down to the lake. We also enjoyed the fire pit out front. Dwan was very attentive and we appreciated our stay here. Will definitely come back next time we are in the area!

Peaceful Getaway

We loved this property. It is very well kept and has everything you would ever need. Special touches everywhere. I’m so glad we decided to rent a jeep to take. The last leg of the trip there was very rough. I would have had major anxiety taking my car on the road. My only recommendation would be darker blinds in bedrooms if you wanted to sleep in and a bigger bed in master. That’s just a personal preference though.

Thank you for leaving Our Place exceptionally neat and tidy! We really appreciate it and are pleased that you enjoyed your stay! Your observation about that "last leg" was correct. Rough. Your comment inspired me to contact the county judge and today with large equipment and a number of loads of crushed rock, our road is in better shape that I've seen it in 20 years! Thank you for your inspiration for me to smooth things out!

About the host

Hosted by Dwan Garrison

Host profile image

We are Dwan and Gerald, owners of Thunder Ridge Ranch East and hosts during your stay. Our family moved to this area in the early 1960's after experiencing the beauty of the Ozarks in a canoe trip down the White River. We retired and moved here from the big city of Houston in 2003. Now it is our pleasure to share the solitude and comfort of the county with our guests.

Why they chose this property

This area has been part of our family for decades, allowing us a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Ozarks. Whether walking through the woods, cooling off in the lake, taking a float trip down the Buffalo River, birdwatching, fishing or enjoying the sounds of nature, our place is undoubtedly the best place to be.

What makes this property unique

This is a very secluded property. Getting to it is part of the fun! The last three miles to this property are down good old-fashioned dirt/gravel roads.  The roads are suitable and easily travelled by cars and trucks alike without the need for 4-wheel drive.  This slower part of the entrance to the property allows time to enjoy the exquisite views.  Our Place is part of 1000 acres that we have placed in a conservation easement to prevent development, remain a home for wildlife and preserve the beauty of nature. This is a place get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the presence of nature. The lake is a few steps away from the front door and there are cleared and blazed hiking trails that allow you to get out into the woods without getting lost! Come, slow down, relax, and be revived.
