About this property
Waterfall Wilderness Retreat Bordering the Ozark National Forest
ALL- OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE REQUIRED
ADULTS ONLY (MINIMUM AGE 18)
SECLUSION AT ITS FINEST! Escape from everything to "Halcyon" - a beautifully-appointed cabin overlooking a waterfall in true wilderness with all of the amenities . This property includes a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom house with cedar interior, 40 acres of private forested land with rocky outcroppings, a spring-fed stream that runs the entire length of the property, culminating in a beautiful waterfall next to the cabin, and shares a border with the Ozark National Forest, providing hours of hiking, exploration, and photo opportunities.
The house is furnished with craftsman cedar tables, bedframes, dressers, and chairs, comfortable lounging furniture, and everything you’ll need in the kitchen, including a dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The bedrooms include one on the main floor (queen bed, overlooks waterfall) and two on the 2nd floor (one queen bed in loft area with smart TV and DVD player with 50+ DVDs, one comfortable futon in room overlooking waterfall). The "great room" has a vaulted ceiling, a large wood-burning fireplace, a smart Roku TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and a dining room overlooking the beautiful waterfall. There is also a bonus room on the 2nd floor overlooking the waterfall that can be used as a 4th bedroom with tri-fold foam mattress (provided) or an office with a spectacular view. You will also have access to all of the comforts of home such as robes, dinnerware, flatware, spices and herbs, pots and pans, cookie sheets, bedsheets, pillows, towels, blankets, etc.
Also included with the house are patio furniture, screened canopy, portable fire pit, charcoal grill, folding chairs, and a two-person anti-gravity chair.
For an unforgettable experience, follow the stream west to the border of the Ozark National Forest, where it is possible to hike from the north side of the stream for days downstream through untouched wilderness and beautiful waterfalls.
The charming town of Jasper is only a 20-minute drive and is a hub for canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and many other outdoor activities.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* An all- or 4-wheel drive vehicle is required to get to the property, as the last mile is gravel (maintained by the county) and gets relatively steep at points, and there is a small stream to cross to get to the cabin. Rain in the forecast makes it an even greater requirement.
* Two vehicles can be parked in the driveway right by the house, and there is more parking across the stream and up the gravel road.
* If more than 4 adults arrive at the house upon check-in or arrive later, we reserve the right to turn guests away with no refund of monies paid.
* This property is not conducive to children; the minimum age to stay is 18 years.
* The waterfall is lowest in the summer months, and we've seen it get down to a trickle during dry times. We can't predict when this will happen, and cannot be held liable for the water level of the stream that feeds the waterfall. We pray for rain during those times!
* The stream next to the cabin is not fishable, but fishing is possible within 20 minutes of the property. Please contact the Buffalo Outdoor Center for more information about fishing in the area or visit their website.
* This property is in Newton County, which is a dry county, so any alcohol needed must be bought and brought in from elsewhere. The nearest liquor store is 40 minutes north in Harrison, Arkansas (WOW liquor).

Why they chose this property
We were unbelievably lucky to find this perfect house next to an amazing natural spring-fed stream and waterfall. It has been a dream come true, and we welcome you to experience the true serenity that this setting offers.
What makes this property unique
Imagine...........Lazing the day away on a towel - sunbathing on the rocks just above the waterfall, with or without the portable fire pit... Taking a day hike downstream into the Ozark National Forest to discover otherworldly swimming holes surrounded by 100-foot cliffs, to return home to this property that waits to invigorate you with a waterfall right next to a beautiful cabin... Relaxing on the patio or the lower deck at the foot of the waterfall at sunrise - or sunset - listening to the uninterrupted sounds of nature all around you... THIS IS A WILDERNESS PARADISE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN.
