We randomly picked to visit the Ozarks as a Christmas family vacation and this house did not disappoint!! We wanted a place we could bring our dog, where we could truly just relax and be, and explore the beautiful Ozarks St Francis National Forest.
Marla truly thought of everything. From all of the basics being supplied that covered our entire week, to plenty of plugs/USB ports upstairs and downstairs. She was also very communicative and answered what felt like a bazillion questions I had.
The property was so peaceful - I loved enjoying my coffee on the front porch, and relaxing in the hot tub after our long hikes. Our dog enjoyed being able to run around, and it was fun "talking" to the cows while we were outside.
Since we had our dog, we couldn't do the Lost Valley trail (a recommended one by Marla), but we did do the following, and loved them all: Alum Cove Natural Bridge, Glory Hole Falls (both of those were also recommended by Marla), Magnolia Falls and Fern Falls. Our whole family, including the dog, were fans.
We loved Jasper Pizza, Low Gap Cafe, Harp's Grocery was handy, and the little gas station in Deer was great for a little candy bar and chip treat. We grabbed a Walmart order pickup in Harrison AR, to get our groceries for the week.
Thank you for providing the perfect place for our family vacation before our oldest goes off to college next fall! I highly recommend this area of Arkansas, and this house, for a winter family trip!
