Our cabin was very clean and neatly furnished. The deck looked over the lake. One bed was super soft and the other was firm. The kitchen had plates, utensils, etc. with a fridge and stove. The bathroom while tiny, had a showerhead with handle and enough towels for 2 people. The restaurant was busy, so reservation helped. The food was delicious. Our server was a rookie, kept calling us "beautiful people," which was odd, but she was young LOL. The satellite TV took some effort & a young helper to figure out, but we managed. I would recommend as a lovely getaway but perhaps not so much with little kids.

Very rustic. Our cabin was very convenient to the restaurant. Nice kitchen. Clean. Quite small but not a problem for us as we only really slept there. Floors were so out of level my wife felt like we were back on a cruise ship. Brass fixtures on the bathroom sink are turning green, and faucet handles are very squeeky. So very rustic :)

Cabin was excellent. Very clean. Kitchenette has everything you need. Fantastic view of Norfork Lake. If you reserve Lake View Cabin you may get any one of 3, although one is named Lake View. Lake View cabins are 30 feet from busy Hwy 177. Traffic is non-stop. Very noisy. Grill good but very pricey. Be sure to reserve a table. If you eat on the patio request a fly fan.

Will Come Again!

My 11-year-old and I stayed in Cabin 4 before driving to Blanchard Springs Cavern. Our cabin was clean, the water pressure was perfect, the bed was comfortable, and it was a nice change from a hotel. I completely missed that reservations are almost a must at the Grill, but we were able to make an order to go.
