*** We do live in a small cabin near the lodge. We have been here for over five years. Guest enjoy the fact that we bring the three goats and Penolope the pig for the guest to pet and feed. Last year my wife rescued some kittens so now they are grown and at times they might walk to the lodge. It is very rare that they come up to the lodge but sometimes they do. The cats are not allowed to go inside the Lodge.****
Again we been doing this for over five years and almost everyone loves the animlas. Also we only bring the goats and pig out upon request.

This cabin was perfect for our trip. Great location, awesome communication with the host. House was clean and had everything you could ever want to do. We will be staying here again.
We had a fantastic time. The host was pleasant and helpful. The views from this location are stunning and the cabin is perfect. My kids loved the grounds, the goats, and fishing in the pond. We look forward to returning.
Our host was very welcoming and the cabin had everything we could have needed during our stay! There was plenty of room for the ten of us and we had a wonderful time making use of all the fun things offered inside and outdoors.
We had a perfect time relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views. Brian was super helpful making sure we had the best directions to get there and everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The lodge is comfortable and spacious with a ton of games, inside and outside. You can’t beat the sunsets here!
This is an amazing place to stay. Very clean and has everything you need to cook meals and have a very small reception. We had a amazing time and would love to come back and stay again sometime.
We brought our grandsons with us and had a great time together. This is a very fun place with lots of things to do as a family. Beautiful grounds. Lots of space and everything we needed for a relaxing time with family.
The location and directions were great. There were a lot of outdoor activities to do as well as a play station which our children took advantage of. All in all a great experience!
We absolutely loved our stay here! Soooo much stuff for our two families to play with from pool to volleyball to board games! The swings and coffee time had to be my favorite time!!!
We enjoyed our vacation here with my large family. The view was great, the beds were comfortable, and so were the couches. It made for a fun and relaxing trip. So glad I found this place.
This place is amazing! The host is incredibly kind and makes sure you know exactly where to go. The location is great, leaving you feeling as though you're away from the hubbub of life but still only 30 minutes from Fayetteville. I highly recommend this property for your family vacation!
We stayed here for spring break to use for hiking in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The house and property were beautiful, and the owner was very accommodating. He let us interact with the animals and ensured we had a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a wonderful getaway in Northern Arkansas
The most peaceful and the best view of the mountains and the sunrise and sunset. Clean and very spacious. Charming place for a quiet getaway. The young qdts stayed off the phones and actually played outside and actually played board games when it rained. We had the best time ever.
It was an amazing stay!! We will definitely be back! The owners were so nice and sweet to us! They even brought out there pet goats and pet pig for us to see for our kids! We will be back!
The house was just what we were looking for, and the property is beautiful. Such a retreat away and a great place to spend time with family. No issues during our stay, our kids got to meet the animals. Special thank you to Brian for helping change a flat tire on our day of departure. Wonderful stay, will be back again!
