Only 7 miles from WolfPen Gap ATV/UTV trails & 5 miles from Talimena Byway, you will be in an excellent spot to enjoy the type of vacation you are looking for-whether it is a thrilling trail riding, hiking, bike riding on the byway type of trip or just relaxing with your family away from hustle & bustle of the day to day life type of trip; there is something for everyone!
The house is located close to trails, so you can park your trailers in a large parking area on the property and drive your ATV/UTV directly from our house to the WolfPen Gap and other mountain trails within minutes.
As you step onto our property, you'll be greeted by the melodious sound of Prairie Creek, gracefully flowing and forming a small waterfall just steps away from our doorstep. Imagine starting your day with a steaming cup of coffee or tea on the patio, serenaded by the symphony of nature.
The home seamlessly integrates with its picturesque surroundings, standing at the foot of Star Mountain in Ouachita range where gentle trees whisper tales of tranquility. Step inside to discover a sanctuary adorned with Pella Windows, that invite the nature outside in, providing a sense of calm and wonder.
Nature lovers will delight in our resident family of deer, who frequently visit the deer feeder on our property. These graceful creatures are protected here, offering you a unique opportunity to observe them up close in their natural habitat.

This place was perfect for us!!! Couldn’t have been any better for what we were doing. Easy access to trails and the outside patio was perfect. Very clean, comfortable, and plenty of room.

My dog loved the property, exploring and of course the daily deer running by to bark at!! We loved the peace and quiet. Get some firewood, a warm cup of coffee/cocoa, and sit on the porch!

Hello Nikki, we are sorry for the inconvenience that the management software & VRBO connection had caused for your reservation. But it was out of our control & property was occupied at the time. This management software does booking on 3 major platforms & keeps the calendars synced..so in theory it should not have been open for you to book. We understand your frustration but the rating does affect our overall rating which was perfect till this point & we work very had to keep it at that level. Booking sites have this sort of issues off and on and it is nothing that we can do to prevent that from happening :(
We just wanted to explain what exactly had caused the issue with your booking.
Thank you & wish you a blessed day.
PK & Andrea
