    We stayed on there glamping Deck and it was perfect for our little family. This location was perfect for the adventures we had planned around Arkansas. It was quite and off the beaten path while still being about 45 min to an hr from a lot of really cool stuff in all different directions! There are also some really cool trails 10 min up the road if your interested in a beautiful water fall and a little caved tucked away in the back that the owner pointed us towards. Me my husband and our 2 y/o loved the view and the property so much room for her to run and play and find her favorite toy ever rocks🤣(my toddler have never been much of a climber and we brought a pack and play for her to sleep in so the 2nd story porch was not a concern for us) The owners were beyond accommodating! When the weather took a turn and ended up being much colder than anticipated Joanna called me a few days before hand just to give me a heads up since she knew we had a little one in toe and to check if we needed anything extra to keep her comfortable at night. When we got there they even had an extra little chair and some toys for my daughter to play with which she loved! We will definitely keep this place in mind for our next Arkansas adventure!
