This house was perfect for our group. It is in a great location for enjoying the river. Close to town, but in a peaceful setting. The wrap around deck is relaxing. The home was stocked with everything you need. The hosts were very responsive.
This property was wonderful! Plenty of room for my family to enjoy. Great location for what we needed. The home was lovely and the owners very great. Would HIGHLY recommend this rental to anyone!
We really enjoyed our stay, it was roomy and had all the essentials we needed. It felt secluded and private but was a close drive to everything. Would definitely stay again.
It was spacious and clean. Plenty of room for our family of 8. Nice neighborhood and close to town. We really enjoyed our stay and woulove to come back again in the future.
Great place for a family to stay. Lots of deck room and plenty of bathrooms as well as beds. Kitchen had plenty of amenities to help with cooking. Thank you we enjoyed our stay.
The house is perfect! We were in town for a family wedding and we all stayed in this house. It was well stocked with essentials, secluded, and has a beautiful wraparound deck that we really enjoyed. It was clean and we had more than enough space and bathrooms for everyone. Being dog friendly was a huge bonus for us and our dog loved being able to check out the surrounding woods. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and responded right away to any questions we had. If we are ever in the area again, we will absolutely book this house again!
The property is gorgeous and well maintained. The location is perfect for those who want to experience bird songs all day along. Thomas has nice collection of books too. I give 9/10 for the experience to the overall experience. The only Correction needed in listing is for number of bedrooms, the actual bedrooms are 3 and two rooms have sofa - bed .
However my overall experience was really great , Thank you Thomas for quick responses.
House was immaculately clean, in extremely pleasant surroundings. The deck was lovely and we enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings very much, overall a nice stay but there were some challenges.
On the downside:
We had some difficulty on the steep gravel driveway with our one non 4 wheel drive vehicle.
The mattresses on the main level were extremely firm and uncomfortable.
I was traveling with 2 disabled elderly folks, which I had discussed with the host; the queen sized bed sat up way too high for a handicapped person to safely get in, and one set of bathroom grab bars around the toilet in master bath was placed too far back on the wall to be of any help.
There were no folding luggage racks in the bedrooms and no hooks on bathroom doors for wet towels.
Finally, this house was expensive to rent, and for the price I thought the host could have NOT required the guests to provide their own bath tissue. Covid shortages have resolved at this point, I think basic hospitality should include toilet paper, it was just one more thing for me to pack.
1st Guest To Ever Stay Here - Best Place I've Ever Stayed
This was by far the best place I've ever stayed. The house is super big & had plenty of room. The 3 teenage boys were all downstairs away from us adults. The 4 adults had the 2 bedrooms upstairs. It was perfect. The house is so clean. It is in a great location, close to everything & so secluded. The owners are wonderful hosts & we had everything we needed from them. The pictures do not do this place justice. We will be back next year on another float trip. It was so peaceful & beautiful to wake up, sit out on deck &, watch all the hummingbirds. DO NOT MISS OUT ON RENTING THIS AMAZING PLACE!
Gail and I designed and built this home so that we can enjoy the Van Buren area with friends and family. Now you are invited to enjoy what we built! We are always a phone call away for any aid you will need.
The water for the Property is from a well. In the home it is filtered then goes through a water softener. After the softener the water then goes through an ultraviolet sterilizer.
We fell in love with and purchased five and a half acers of Ozark wilderness. We built this home in 2005. Since then, it has been a tremendous joy in our lives!
A 72-foot covered deck places you in the canopy of the forest! The fire ring gives you hours of wonderful bonfire time! Float, Kayak, Jet Boat, UTV and ATV ride, and hike the many trails. Relax and enjoy the Wonderful Ozarks!
