The home, although small, felt very spacious and is well laid out. It accommodated myself, my husband, and our 3 boys ranging in age from 5-19. I loved the wide open kitchen and bar area because I could still be connected with the family while making meals. The house had everything we needed in terms of cooking and service utensils, as well as a coffee maker that could do either a pot of coffee or single K-cups.
The yard is absolutely gorgeous with huge trees, lots of shade, and 2 hammocks. We used the charcoal grill down by the water to make dinner one night and that was nice. We did a river outing right from the property and went fishing with the boat and kayak provided. Caught a few fish, but the water was a little too stagnant in some places for my liking, to no fault of the homeowner. We made our way down to a Little rock beach and swam for a couple of hours and the kids loved that!
The homeowner was so helpful and accommodating and easy to talk to like an old friend. The location was a short drive from everything we wanted to do (exploring caves, water park, Jacob’s Well, Canyon Falls Swimming Hole, McKenna Children’s Museum, and shopping if that’s your thing).
We chose this location for peaceful relaxation and that’s just what we got. The back porch and hammock were wonderful for drinking coffee and reading books while the kids played nearby. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway. I’d like to come back without kids next time!
