*** We do live in a small cabin near the lodge. We have been here for over five years. Guest enjoy the fact that we bring the three goats and Penolope the pig for the guest to pet and feed. Last year my wife rescued some kittens so now they are grown and at times they might walk to the lodge. It is very rare that they come up to the lodge but sometimes they do. The cats are not allowed to go inside the Lodge.****

Again we been doing this for over five years and almost everyone loves the animlas. Also we only bring the goats and pig out upon request.

Awesome lodge, wonderful host!!

We loved our stay and wish we could've stayed longer. It was the PERFECT place for our my family, friends and kids. From the games indoors, outdoors, fish pond, etc to the beautiful serene landscape we got to enjoy. . There was no lack of fun activities available to us. That was so appreciated! The animals nearby were a treat to visit with and my dogs loved the grass to play in. The host was so kind and humble. Couldn't ask for a better stay. :)

Weekend and state parks

The owner was nice and shared his goats, pig and cats with us if we wanted only and kids loved the animals. It was a very rainy weekend but the gravel roads (about 1.25 miles were able to be driven). Kids enjoyed the stocked pond as it stopped raining one evening enough to take our 6 and 4 and 2 year olds to the pond to fish. Each caught and released several small fish. For what we were looking for and the 7 of us it was an enjoyable time.

Spring Break Getaway

We stayed here for spring break to use for hiking in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The house and property were beautiful, and the owner was very accommodating. He let us interact with the animals and ensured we had a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a wonderful getaway in Northern Arkansas

Great place for a family retreat / reunion

our group of 9 older adults had a wonderful time at Brian’s place. 5 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms. 2 kitchen areas. Plenty of games, places for puzzling, a big dining table so that we could all eat together, good beds, private. I’d recommend to anyone with a group that’d like some peace and privacy in a beautiful place with a very friendly and helpful landlord. Thanks Brian!

Two-family long weekend

We had such an enjoyable time at Brian’s place! It was a perfect halfway meeting point for our two families. We had 4 adults, 6 teens/preteens, and 2 dogs and everyone fit very comfortably. We loved the pool table! And having two kitchens was super handy for storing food and cooking meals for 10 people. It was cold so we didn’t get to do much outside, but the property is spacious with beautiful views. We really hope to return at a warmer time! Brian was an excellent host, very communicative and responsive to anything we needed. He even brought out his goats and pig for us to see and the kids to feed. All in all, an excellent stay! We can’t wait to come back!

Close to State Parks

Great property close to Lake Fort Smith State Park and Devil's Den State Park. We came for fall foliage and hiking. The foliage was late this year, so it was just okay, but we thoroughly enjoyed the hiking. The owner shares a lot of information and makes a point to ensure guests feel welcome. We enjoyed meeting the goats and pet pig, Penelope. There are tons of fun extras in/around the lodge (pool table, foosball, pond with catfish, porch swings, etc.) and the living spaces are spacious. A couple of the bedrooms were a little tight, but we were happy to have the larger beds, so we made it work. While there is room for up to 12 people (assuming you don't mind sharing a full size bed), we limited our group to 8 since there are only 2 bathrooms. Would stay here again if I went back to the same area.

We had a lovely time at the property. There was SO MUCH to do for everyone! They had a wide variety of indoor and outdoor games to choose from. We had an issue with cats on the property (allergy), but the owners were very responsive about it. Also- random but if you need a 9X13 pan, bring your own! We couldn’t find one! Other than that, the kitchen was well stocked! Would definitely stay here again
