Hidden Gem near Shell Knob

We loved this spotless cottage. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. The beds are very comfortable. The cottage has everything you will need for a stay and includes many extras as well. The setting is quiet and peaceful. There are two marinas close by. We hope to return soon.

Restful lake getaway

We had an amazing time this weekend! We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect! The house is beautiful with a very warm, inviting, and cozy atmosphere ❤️ Lew (our host) was very accommodating and checked in a couple of time to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is set up really nice and had everything needed. This our second time staying there and we will definitely be back. 5 ⭐️ Stars!

Great Getaway

Nice remodeled family farmhouse in a secluded area. The hosts were wonderful, met us there on arrival, left us fresh eggs and brought us hot apple pie during the week. It was a great get away for us. Located in a good area, easy to get to Eureka Springs, Branson and Roaring River State Park (loved!)

My partner and I had a lovely stay at the retreat. It was great to get away from our usual busyness and enjoy the beautiful, quiet space. The instructions on what to do when leaving were not specific but otherwise everything ran smoothly.

Serene Forest home

I traveled with my family. The party consisted of my uncle, his wife and my little 11 year old cousin along with my immediate family (parents and sister). We all loved staying in the lovely home Katheryn and Lew keep. As we walked in we breathed in the lovely wood scent. My little cousin was so happy to see they keep chickens like she does back home. Traveling up and down the winding roads enjoying the view was so relaxing. I look forward to another visit.

Restful Ozark Weekend

The property is in a beautiful country setting. There are trees and hills all around. This is a great place to get away from the rat race of every day life. The home is quaint, inviting, and very clean. The Aytes are wonderful hosts. They work to make your visit a memorable one. Lew is a talented sculptor. You will enjoy seeing some of his work. We will certainly visit them again when we need a break from urban life.

A quiet sanctuary

This home was absolutely beautiful. The owners were very friendly and ensured I had everything I could possibly need, even before I could actually need it. Their "little touches" around the house are welcoming and inviting, from the little soaps and products in the bathrooms to wine already chilled in the fridge upon arrival to the homemade pound cake covered in fresh peaches on my last night. The story of the artist who owns the house and the artwork/decor inside was fascinating. One of my favorite rentals ever, and I will definitely be going back!

A Homy Surprise With Neighborly Owners

I rented this for a weekend fishing trip for my son and I. My son just turned 18 and we haven’t had a trip where it was just the two of us since he was about 6. I thought about doing something a little more “roughing it” but wanted to have a memorable trip for my son. I am pleased to say that this was a very memorable trip for him as he talked about it all the way home. I would like to say this property is just as it appears in the photos but it is so much more. It is hard to describe just how homey and comfortable this property is. There are hidden gems around every corner of this house. I even took a video to show my wife because I want to take her to see it. However as awesome as this property is, it doesn’t even compare to how awesome the owners are. The morning after our first night the owner came over with a baked surprise for my son and I. As we drove to our fishing trip, my son commented, “I feel more like they’re our neighbors than someone we’re renting from.” I couldn’t have put it any better. This property and owner are 5 stars all day every day.

Exceptional - A+++

The house far exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and much larger than we expected. 2 large bedrooms with private baths - 1 on the main floor and one on the lower floor. Nice size Family Room and a smaller Living Room. Deck with entrances from the Family Room and the main floor bedroom - Also a screened porch off of the lower floor bedroom. 3rd bedroom upstairs with 2 single beds that we did not use would be ideal for kids. Everything you could possibly want for a pleasant stay - Too many amenities to list. We only stayed the weekend, but this place would be ideal for a week long family vacation. BTW - The owners were delightful and very accommodating.

Super quiet place. Real feel of being out of the city but somewhat close to stores if you need something. Wicked curvy roads between the house and Branson though.....allow plenty of time to travel.

It is amazing

This is by far the best "home away from home" place we have ever stayed at. The house is absolutley perfect. Clean, organized and so beautifully decorated, that when we walked in, all we could say was "wow"! We had a couple of questions for them and their response was immediate. We had to cut our trip short because of an emergency but we will be back for sure.
