Twin River Stone Cottage - 7 BR/Sleeps 20

This home originally opened as the Staggs Hotel in 1945 to house the workers who built the local dams. Now, completely renovated, this cottage puts you in the middle of all that the Norfork area has to offer. This 7 bedroom, 5 bath home sleeps 20 and is within easy walking distance to local restaurants, a grocery store, and the public access at the confluence of the White and North Fork Rivers. World Class trout fishing and other outdoor activities are within easy access during your stay. Twin Rivers Stone Cottage has a classic "giraffe field stone" exterior which is a type of construction that is very unique to North Arkansas that was popular during the 1940's. We have attempted to maintain classic fishing lodge decor throughout the home. On the main floor, there are three bedrooms (with king, full, and two twin beds, respectively) and two full baths, as well as a full kitchen and spacious dining area. Each of the four upstairs bedrooms have a half bathroom within the respective sleeping areas. A shower in the upper hallway is shared among these four upstairs bedrooms. The living room provides comfortable seating and includes a piano and television with cable and access (via your subscription) to major streaming services. The living room wall is lined with classic books and interesting "treasures" from days gone by. The newly remodeled kitchen has all new appliances and is more than capable of providing food service to the fully occupied property. The dining room seats ten easily at a long custom-built harvest table, with additional seating for up to four at the kitchen counter. There is a spacious porch on the back of the home with rocking chairs, as well as a side porch with a swing. Additional relaxation is available at the fire pit and hammock ring in the backyard, which provides a calming space for reflection after a long day of fishing on the rivers or boating on beautiful Lake Norfork. The basement features a laundry with washer and dryer, as well as a poker and ping pong table. As with many basements, the head clearance is about 6 feet with exposed floor joists, so we recommend caution for persons who are tall enough to bump their heads in this area. The entire property (main floor, upstairs, basement and entire yard) is included in the rental. We can be reached through the messaging feature on the Airbnb app/website. The home is in the middle of the small town of Norfork, Arkansas, making for easy walking distance to the local grocery and liquor store, microbrewery, several restaurants, a coffee shop, as well as the public access area to the White and North Fork Rivers. Numerous options for fishing, hunting, kayaking, water sports, mountain biking, hiking, and sight-seeing are within easy reach of this property during your stay. The neighbors are friendly, the community is very safe, and access to various outdoor activities is easy. If your goal is relaxation, you will find this a quiet community where you can easily rest and recuperate. Once arrived at our home, you will be within easy walking distance of most attractions in Norfork. It will be beneficial to have a vehicle at your disposal during your stay for certain activities. Be advised, there is no local Uber, Lyft or taxi service, as the community is quite rural.
