WOW!!!! Where to start? I'll start with the HOSTS. The Jacksons are simply incredible. Responses are near instant. Very friendly and helpful. Just seem like genuine, good folks.
The property!!!!! Just what we were looking for. Very secluded, quiet, and serene. I don't believe I have ever been anywhere as QUIET as this place. I actually think you could hear a pin drop.
The trip over 9Dallas are). BE AWARE. This is NOT the city. Approximately 20 miles from the nearest town and the road is twisty and winding. You are NOT going to be able to drive 70-80 MPH. It takes a while to get from place to place. In the future, we might try to plan a bit more now that we have an idea what is around. Scenery is absolutely great. We came in from the WEST on 40, then the Farm Market. For a nice drive, I would prefer this. Coming home we went into Little Rock and took I-30 East. Definitely not as scenic, but not a bad drive.
Our time there. I feel like you need to choose a direction and pretty much go that way for the day, if you choose to leave the property at all. There was plenty of stuff we didn't do. For me the peace and quiet was glorious and the cabin has everything you could imagine.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place with plenty of outdoor activities, antiques, and the like, you will be hard pressed to find something better. There is a nice "rock shop" in Mountain View. It was probably the highlight of our trip. Good prices.
