Come, slow down, relax and be revived.

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!

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.

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!

Arkansas retreat

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.

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.

Great place

The property was clean and as advertised. The property manager was great to work with. Overall it was a great experience. The property was remote as explained in the description. It takes about 20 minutes from the main road to attractions, grocery stores, etc. We chose not to use the canoe or swim spot.

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.

Quiet, peaceful, perfect

We had a great stay and really would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing place to get away. There are no other houses or humans in the vicinity. It is far enough away from roads that it is often perfectly quiet. The screened in patio is wonderful in the morning -- so many birds! We also used the canoe for a paddle around the lake, which was fun. We enjoyed to fire pit as well, and the host provided supplies for smores which was a nice touch. It is a fair drive (30 min?) to get to anything, but worth it for the isolation. We didn't feel that we were missing anything we needed in the kitchen or otherwise. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Peace and tranquility

If you want peace and quiet this is the PERFECT place. Out of town, secluded and private. All the special touches Dwan has provided truly make this a one of a kind vacation rental. The house and property are beautiful, peaceful and homey. The screened in front porch is the best morning coffee area. Lots of different areas for family to be together or enough space to spread out. I can't say enough good things about the communication with the owner, Dwan is great! If you need to unwind from every day life, this is your place. It is a bit of a drive out of town so take your groceries but the kitchen has everything you need to prepare food and a grill on the side deck for BBQ. We didn't want to leave!!

Amazing Getaway

A long weekend at Our Place was exactly what my friend and I needed. It is perfect for a secluded getaway, and the host provided everything we could’ve ever needed or wanted. Our Place is clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed lots of time on the screened-in front porch, went out on the lake with the canoe (included in the stay), built a fire in the fire pit, and cooked our meals in the fully equipped kitchen (and on the gas grill). Our Place has more amenities than we needed. Dwan (host) provided tons of maps and guides for things to do in the area. She gave me tons of recommendations and answered all of my questions happily and openly. She even gave us all the makings for s’mores and fresh local honey. We feel spoiled by this VRBO stay…it’s going to be a lot to live up to by other hosts!

Great for Family Reunion

Firstly, Dwan is an amazing host! You can tell there has been a lot of thought put into this house! And Dwan it extremely responsive and available if you need her. We are local and rented the house for our adult kids. Since we don't have extra bedrooms, Dwan's house was ideal-three kids and three bedrooms! We used all parts of this adorable house and cooked a lot! The kitchen is fully stocked and even has storage containers for leftovers. We loved the screened in porch and the kids spent a lot of time out there. It is so quiet and peaceful and an easy walk to the lake. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful rental in the "neighborhood". When we have guests visiting, we will not hesitate to rent from Dwan again!

Wonderful getaway to the lake!

Our family came from near St. Louis and wanted to check out Bull Shoals Lake. The lake itself was incredible, and I highly encourage renting a boat if you don't have one. The property is delightfully secluded. And although the trip feels long the first time, the house isn't far from Flippin, where a Walmart can help you get all the things you forgot! The house was absolutely perfect for what we wanted, and I hope we get the chance to visit again! The ONLY con I can think of is the small bed in the master bedroom. The full size was a bit small for myself and my husband. I ended up on the couch a couple of nights, but I'm easy so it was fine. That won't keep me from coming back! Thanks for a wonderful stay and trusting us with your home!

Relaxation in the Woods

We very much enjoyed our stay at Our Place. We got out on the lake many times, and enjoyed the nearby White River and Crooked Creek. It is extremely quiet here, you only hear the wildlife - which is very plentiful. We saw turkeys, deer, great blue herons, countless squirrels, bald eagles, and many more. It is a very nice wildlife sanctuary and a wild park like setting. Really a great opportunity to experience the Natural State. Dwan was a fantastic host, and very responsive to any questions or needs. A particular recommendation includes visiting Blanchard Springs Caverns. It it the most spectacular cave with some of the largest “rooms” in any known cave system. A great hiking recommendation, beyond walking around the property and nearby parks in Cotter - including hiking a portion of the Buffalo River Trail. We hiked the Denton Ferry trail head area, which has great views looking down at the Buffalo River from high bluffs. Big Spring Park in nearby Cotter is a gem. Very quiet, great river access, nice picnic areas, and pleasant walking trail. Wonderful place and stay.

Personal slice of Arkansas heaven

My husband and I took our one year old here on our first family trip. It was exactly as advertised and absolutely perfect. The house was very clean and tidy, decorated lovingly with bee accents, stocked with all the toiletries, kitchen, and lake supplies you could need, with the most comfortable beds and linens of any vrbo I’ve been in. The property was exactly what we wanted— a refuge from the modern world, with access to the lake, a bonfire ring, and little trails to explore. Our one year old loved wading in the lake and playing with the rocks and exploring all over. Dwan was the most gracious host. She had treats waiting for us when we got there, including her family’s own honey! We had a slight issue the first night and she responded immediately. We asked about toys for our one year old, and she had a highchair waiting, with duplos, bath toys, and board books. So sweet! We would love to visit again.

Nice and remote

The location is perfect if you like to be out in the boonies. We killed the data on the jetpack on the first night. So after the first night we had zero contact with the outside world for a week...which was nice. Not what we had planned on though so just a heads up if you have something important you need to get done. The property itself though is wonderful. The screen porch was great for the buggy times of day and has a view of the yard with the smell of a new cedar deck. Yum. The tall trees were lovely, ramping up for their fall colors and riding the breezes. We brought dvd's and enjoyed them in one living room and snuggled up with books in the other with the big sofa and comfy chairs. It rained a lot. Dwan thought of everything. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms well stocked. The honey her and her daughter gather and s'mores ingredients were very much enjoyed! We cooked out on the grill, had a few bonfires, saw deer, turkeys and squirrels. All in all a great place to spend an isolated week

INFECTED BY BUGS!!

Two adults and one young boy stayed in early June of 2024. What a disaster! We got bit by chiggers. All of us were infected around the ankles and groin area. At first, we thought they were bed bug bites. They had the home inspected and that was not the case. The owner insisted that they may be chigger bites. After going to a doctor (and a local pharmacist), it appears they are indeed chigger bites. When confronted with this new evidence, the owner said "Well I just treated the lawn last month for chiggers". She knew she had a chigger problem. Also, there are 4 miles of the most horribly kept roads. No pavement. It is a mix of gravel, large washed-out ruts, and large stones. You will need a 4-wheel drive to get to the property. And do not expect to keep it clean. If you have a boat, you better have a cover! DO NOT STAY HERE! What a complete disaster! She then stopped responding to my communication.

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.
