Magical Stay in the Ozark Mountains

We love this property! It's quiet and clean. Also convenient to lots of hiking, a grocery store, and local restaurants. The kids also have fun playing in the river. This was our second visit, and we'll certainly be back again!

A perfect getaway retreat

Amy and John are wonderful hosts and the Rock House was the perfect setting to come home to after sightseeing. It’s a little remote slice of heaven nestled between the mountains. Really didn’t want to leave.

Magical Getaway!

What an absolute gem of a property! The house was incredibly clean and cozy. We enjoyed time around the fire, swims in the river, and all the local trails. John the property owner was so kind and wanted to make sure we had a perfect stay. We loved it so much, we have already booked for next year!

Would Stay Again

Amy (mgr) and John (owner) were both great and answered any questions we had. Loved the history of the area and the location was perfect for us going back and forth from Jasper and Ponca, and to other sites in the area. House itself gave us plenty of room and was well stocked. Will definitely stay again.

In the heart of the Ozarks

The Rock House was a great base for our weekend of hiking. The kitchen is well equipped. Since we had 2 couples, it was great to have two full baths. The beds were comfortable. Close to stores/restaurants in Jasper, and an easy drive to great hiking.

Beautiful Mountain Home and Wonderful Hosts

We had a short stay while driving through Ozarks. This place is secluded, Cozy Mountain and Ranch Home with beautiful views. We had outdoor fire going, enjoyed star view, beautiful sun rise from front porch. Thank you Amy and John for being amazing hosts. WE will return for longer time in the future :)

The Rock House is an absolute gem!

This property is hands down one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed at. The property itself sits in an absolutely beautiful, idyllic setting. The house has absolutely everything you could need and is very well stocked. We loved that the property had private river access to fish and swim. This home is in a good central location to many activities. Amy was wonderful to work with and very helpful. Mr. John is an absolute precious person and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to visit with him every day we were there. Without a doubt, his great hospitality and friendly nature is what made our trip one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken. Although our trip was short, it was one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had. I did not want to leave this beautiful property! We will definitely be back at some point.

Excellent family getaway

My family of four loved everything about our stay at the Rock House. Amy communicated all necessary information in advance of our stay, and the house met all of our expectations based on the information presented online. We cooked several meals in the well-stocked kitchen, and the washer and dryer were very helpful. I commented several times that this was the best stocked rental property we’ve ever stayed ay (e.g., seasonings, paper towels, towels/dish towels, trash bags, etc.). We enjoyed meeting Mr. John and chatting with him as well. He showed my husband around the property, including how to access the river/swimming hole. We swam a couple of times and fished with no luck of catching. The natural spring water in Shop Creek was perfectly clear and cool on a hot summer day. We had plenty of space and comfort in the cabin as well for our family of four. We used this Parthenon cabin as a central location for two hikes (Hawksbill Crag and Lost Valley) and two day trips to Branson. Jasper is in close proximity (6 miles) with restaurants and a grocery store that had everything we needed. Thank you so much to Amy and John for their hospitality. The cabin exceeded our expectations and we absolutely plan to come back soon!

We loved our stay at the Rock House! The home was clean and comfortable. John and his daughter Amy were very accommodating. We got to visit with John a couple of times. He showed us how to get to the river, both on the property and from a nearby public road and even provided us plenty of firewood. There were a lot of ticks by the river so I recommend bringing tick spray. I suspect it has to to with the time of year rather than location because this was not the only spot we picked them up and we've never had that issue when we've visited the area before. We highly recommend the Rock House and are hoping to get to stay there again on our next trip to Arkansas.

Above and Beyond!

Our whole experience with Amy and John was amazing and hospitable beyond our expectations. We had mentioned wanting to do a fire one night for our boys (3,6,9) and Mr. John had it all setup for us and all we had to do was light a match. I’ve never had such kind and courteous hosts in all my years of VRBO. You are close enough to Jasper to get essentials but far enough away to not even notice it. We spent 3 nights at the Rock House and loved spending our Thanksgiving there!

Lovely place to stay

We wanted a quiet place to stay while enjoying some hiking in the Ozarks and this place delivered. It was just my wife and me, but there is adequate space for six, maybe seven. The house was pristine nicely appointed. The location gave us easy and quick access to theJasper and Ponca areas. The owner was a great communicator and checked to be sure we were happy and all our needs were met. You won’t be disappointed.

Peaceful Retreat

Loved our stay. The country rock house was charming with modern amenities. Was wonderful getting away from the hectic city to the laid back atmosphere of the country. What a breath of fresh air. We enjoyed wading and fishing in the river on the lower end of the property and sitting outside viewing the stars. Plenty of sites nearby to visit which we definitely did. John, the owner, made us feel like we were part of the family. Really enjoyed visiting with him. I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back. :-)
