Serene and cozy Ozark home - 3 mins to Alley Spring and the Jack's Fork river!

DarLyn's Retreat is located at the southeast intersection of Hwy 106 and State Rte E. Adjacent to the Ozark National Scenic Riverway Park, it is 2 miles east of Alley Spring and 4 mi west of Eminence. You'll be very close to outfitters supporting the Jack's Fork River and all the fun that can be had--they'll even pick you up right from the house!

+ 10 guests and 2 dogs are welcome!
+ STARLINK high-speed internet!
+ Central heat/air conditioning!
+ NEW! In the off-season, we have extended the patio, added a new back deck and a full-length, covered front porch! Additionally, we've added landscaping and a new fire pit! Weather and materials on order have affected our paint schedule and garage door replacement, but the house will soon be sage green with a bronze roof.

Please read all info/rules prior to booking. Thanks and we look forward to hosting your group! Contact us any time for exceptions or approvals.

The back yard has a fire pit area for relaxing while you enjoy the Ozark sky at sunset!

PLEASE - NO large fires and NO fires at all during dry conditions. Water is available from the well head on the north side of the house. A hose is located on the patio and a shovel and hoe are available inside the basement door. Plastic chairs from the patio may be used for the campfire area.

PLEASE enjoy but use great care, be proactive for fire management and cool it to the touch before leaving it. Firewood is nearby, when available. Do not burn cardboard, paper or leaves. The fire pit has a lid and should be covered when the fire is cool and before leaving.

(Personal note: we have seen/experienced small fires spread at extraordinary speeds in dry conditions and light winds!!!)

Garage: The garage is closed off for storage.


We hope you enjoy your stay at DarLyn’s Retreat. PLEASE take care of our home! We love it here and hope you do too!
