Very quiet little place. Cozy cabins, and great customer service. Take food, because anything you might need, is quite the drive. Beautiful view of Bull Shoals Lake, and a huge boat dock.

We came to for a quick weekend away trip before our kids went back to school and absolutely loved it! We rented the pontoon boat and had the time of our lives. The cabin was very clean and had plenty of towels, clean sheets and pillows. Friendly chickens and a turkey roaming around made my kids’ day. We swam in the pool for hours and had a blast! We will be back for sure! The owners were great and their customer service was amazing.

I have been coming down here for as long as I can remember and we have an amazing time here. The owners are extremely nice and take good care of us and the property. They have everything you need such as a refrigerator, toaster, stove, microwave, etc and the view is amazing. There is an amazing view of the lake and a nice open place with a campfire to have a grate time. In all this is an amazing place and will recommend to everyone that is looking for a place

It's absolutely wonderful! Our cabin is great! Everything we needed was provided! We had plenty of towels, toilet paper, dishes, bedding, ect. There was a laundry facility on sight. There was Wi-Fi and dish TV. Bed was comfortable. All together this cabin was very very cozy. The owner Chris, was very welcoming and nice and very informative on the location of different points amongst the lake and spots to fish. This is only my second day out of my 1 week's stay and I am very very pleased. My dog was welcome. I brought my bought and she allowed me to park it at her personal dock. It was very windy but besides that I enjoyed myself and will be staying for an extra week or two. I will be posting more photos and more experiences as my time here moves along.

This was purely a Yahsend (Godsend) for us! The cabins are so clean and cozy! Awesome air-conditioning and beautiful views of the lake right out the window! The hosts David and his wife are very caring, loving people that treat you like family! We have a family of 5 and stayed in a cabin so comfortably! We look forward to going back. Oh and the prices are unbeatable! Very reasonable for this!

I took my kids here for Thanksgiving week, Saturday to Saturday. The rate was great, the cabins were perfect;with a small, oven, fridge, and sink, so you are able to cook while there. We were supposed to stay in cabin 2, but when we got there, the owners moved us to cabin 3 because it was open and had a better view of the lake. The owners, David and Tsui Man are super friendly, helpful, and make you feel right at home. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be staying here again!

Want to get away, with a beautiful view of the lake? Want friendly service, and quiet? Then check this out. It's not luxury, but it's very cozy. They have a great boat dock, and the lake is clean. Sit on the front porch at night, and look at all the stars. Bring your own food, because it's far away from everything, just like it should be. Very nice getaway, even on Labor Day weekend.
