About Us
We are a semi-retired couple who left the convenience of the city behind for the “simple Life” in the Ozark Mountains. In 1996 we settled into a very small farmhouse on 85 acres bordering the national forest. Life suddenly became “not so simple”. With out the city conveniences, like picking up the phone when we needed a plumber, we were quickly forced to learn “do-it-yourself” skills. City life looked really good at times. We stuck it out and in 2002 we used our new found talents and built a cabin on the back of our property.
The Gang
Since moving to the Mountain we’ve acquired a lot of animals to feed, it has become a small sanctuary. Thus, needing a little extra income we thought we would do the website thing and rent our cabin. Making the rental cabin available to people whom, like us, enjoy a peaceful natural setting. It's been fun ever since. We have met people from all over the country, many are returning customers. For us it may not be a “simple life” but there in no place we would rather be.
Fishing in the area
Horsehead Lake: Public fishing lake just minutes away or Ozark city lake which offers great game species. For fishing we have a pond stocked with Bass, Bream, and Catfish. There is also a public fishing lake a couple miles away (Horsehead Lake) that has great Crappie fishing. In addition, you can drive (only a short distance) to the Arkansas River. Of course an Arkansas Fishing license is required.
