Very clean, tons of space, very comfortable and can sleep/house 12 or more easily. Close to Mt Home and super fishing at Calico Rock we stayed three nights and everything was great. Fire place was not usable (by design) and I wish we coulda had that but overall 100% satisfied

From the owner: "Thank you, Jeffrey. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. The fireplace was scheduled for repair in March but the company failed to order the right parts. We will get it working as soon as possible presumably before the cold weather returns. Until then, the outdoor fire pit can be enjoyed year-round and provides a great view of the sunset over the pasture."
Everybody loved our stay , the house was set up very nice, from the ground level walk in, to the back porch, horses, and outdoor play equipment for the children. It was excellent. We had 5 adults who stayed together and everyone had privacy room and bathrooms. we came to visit our 6 grandkids and they loved the house too. Everyone especially loved the horses so friendly. The week was a hit with everyone!!!!
We really enjoyed our stay over the Fourth of July weekend. The Vrbo was perfect for our family, providing everyone a bedroom. The house provides three levels that included many games for our kids. The view was spectacular. Trout fishing was great as well as Norfork lake was refreshing and beautiful to pleasure boat. Extra amenities such as coffee, snacks ect. The kitchen had everything you needed.
Enjoyable Stay with Notable Features and Minor Drawbacks
Our stay at this property was great overall, offering a comfortable and accommodating environment. We would consider it again for future bookings.
Pros:
Spaciousness: The property's four-level bilevel design worked for our large group, providing space and privacy. The dining area and additional kitchen table were convenient, allowing options for adults and children.
Outdoor Amenities: The outdoor patio with an amazing view was wonderful and the nearby horses were exceptional features.
Cons:
Bathrooms: The top level, housing four bedrooms, shared had one full bathroom, leading to high traffic.
Locked Spaces: Many closets and the garage were locked, which was unexpected and restricted our storage options for a week-long stay. The second fridge in the photos was also unavailable. This posed challenges for storing ample food and beverages for our thanksgiving stay.
Additional:
Room Distribution: The house's division into four levels offered varied accommodations but also presented some logistical challenges.
Furniture and Decor: The comfortable furniture was a plus, though the main living room's furniture was worn out and detracted from the overall comfort. The decor was reminiscent of a grandparent's home.
Suggestions for Improvement:
Property Description: Future guests would benefit from knowing about the bathroom arrangement, locked spaces, and fridge availability beforehand.
Furniture Update: Buy a new living room furniture set.
Overall, 5 stars!

-The garage is dedicated to storing equipment essential for maintaining the expansive 25-acre property. Additionally, below the deck, ample space is available for storing any outdoor items you may choose to bring along
-Additionally, two of the six-bedroom closets are secured to store supplies and preserve the quality of linens. However, guests have access to an additional hall closet for storage purposes, and each bedroom is furnished with coat hook racks and hangers.
-Moreover, two of the six bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms for added convenience, while a centrally located powder room caters to the needs of common areas.

About the host
Your host
As children we spent endless summer days vacationing on Lake Norfork. The friendly people and abundance of outdoor and local activities made these visits unforgettable. Our hilltop property is a treasure and we are happy to share it with others.
Why they chose this property
Returning to the house after a day out on the lake, fishing one of the rivers or day tripping to a nearby attraction is a great feeling. It's quiet, and breezy on the deck during the warmer months, and cozy by the fireplace when the weather is cool. The climate is mild and lake temperatures hover in the 70's well into October.
What makes this property unique
The lake views are unsurpassed and the newly renovated home is beautiful, expansive, functional, and cozy for groups both large and small.
