BlueBird Cabin ~ on Livingston Creek

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
LIVINGSTON CREEK! What a hidden treasure that you can explore by foot for a mile upstream into the wilderness. It runs year round and has pop-up waterfalls across the bank after rains. You can also hear the creek from the screened windows and porches during wet seasons. The creek is shallow, not boat navigable, but trout run up in the cooler months. For decades the owners have welcomed flocks of bluebirds to this property that return year after year. This property has the soul of its artists' owners throughout: local crafts, books about the area, local made furniture. It is a quintessential Ozark getaway.
