Unwind in the Ozarks

Our restored historic farmhouse is located in the Ozarks in the small town of Oark.

Be fully prepared to experience the charm and culture of a slower pace.

You may choose to stay in and enjoy the friendly locals or venture out to the numerous unforgettable hikes or the many water activities on the Mulberry. Visit the quaint communities or go for a scenic drive!

The farmhouse is located on scenic highway 215 as well as steps from the Oark General Store (the oldest continuously running general store in Arkansas), a great place for breakfast and burgers. The farmhouse sits right across the street from the store.

Nestled in the Mulberry Valley, Oark, a previously isolated community has become a destination for many. It’s the natural beauty that draws most and after experiencing the genuine warmth and southern charm, most return again and again.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Nice House

The house was nice and spacious for our group of 6. Had room for trailers and side by sides. Awesome area for riding. And the restaurant in front of the house is good. If you’re planning on doing lots of cooking might want to bring your own supplies as they have a limited amount of cookware. The beds were great if you like a firm bed. The communication with owners was great. Will definitely return.

SXS Riding

We rented this cabin with some friends for a SXS riding weekend and its a great property and better host. Convenient location to trail heads, Oark General Store is great for fuel, food and last minute items you forgot. Mary and Katie are great hosts for the property and its meets its description. We've stayed here multiple times and this won't be our last stay either. See you again soon!

Cute and historic house built in the 1930’s. Had A/C and heat & Wifi and Ruku TV. Great place to have some family time. In a beautiful area in the Ozarks. Host was so nice. The general store and breakfast place was right in front of the property. A great place to get away.

Gem in the Ozarks

This is the best little Gem in the Ozarks. Great location, beautiful surroundings, peaceful and friendly. You could almost call it a bed and breakfast with the Oark general store across the street with great food and top notch hospitality. Big shout out to the Owner, Mary. She is the icing on the cake. Already planning a return trip.

Cozy Cottage in Oark

The house was beautiful, immaculate, and cozy! The kitchen was well equipped for all cooking needs. Each room is decorated wonderfully. The living room couches were very comfortable. The entire house has such great character. We absolutely enjoyed our stay! Thank you! (My only suggestion- mattress pads for the beds- comfy beds are a must.)

Sweet surroundings make for a restful stay in tiny mountain town

A friend and I stayed for one night on a recent exploration trip. Technology and appliances seemed to be just fine. Coziness factor was wonderful. Beds were comfy as well. It’s an old structure—the hardwood floors pop a bit sometimes, and that’s totally normal. The door hinges could use a little WD-40. I really liked how each room could control its own temperature. Mary is very nice and helped us locate an old church we were hoping to photograph. I’m planning to recommend to friends and would like to return for a longer and even more relaxing stay!
