Peaceful and quiet

This is the place to stay if you want to enjoy time to yourself. It is close enough to all the features of the area and want to be away from the rat race of today’s world. Fantastic place to stay.

Beautiful location and house

House was extremely clean and perfect for two people or a couple with kids. Very quiet but not far to Mountain Home. Saw deer and turkey. Loved sitting on the porch. David's trail is close. Brenda's cafe is great for breakfast. Wayne and Jeanne are extremely nice. We enjoyed chatting with them over coffee one of the mornings. Thanks for a great trip! Jan and Rick

What a lovely stay we had

We chose the Briarwood Cabin to get away from the noise of the city, and boy did we choose right. The trail that's right next to the cabin was nice and covered by the forest canopy so there was no chance of sunburn, and the view from the deck is phenomenal. The cabin itself is extremely quiet, which is exactly what we wanted, and overall we had a wonderful week to unplug and relax.

A wonderful experience in the scenic heart of nature

This cabin is an absolute gem of an experience of total peace and quiet nestled in the midst of wildlife nature management areas combined with an amazing view of the nearby lake. The thoughtfulness of the host rounded out a beautifully relaxing experience surrounded by nature for me and my wife.

My visit

Everything was good with a couple exceptions the TV did not work not that it was big deal but would have nice to watch before going to bed. Should have been told this before arriving. Also the water had a very unpleasant smell.

Gamaliel Vrbo stay

Stay was good. Very nice owner willing to help with anything you need. Loved having a washer and dryer available. The home had a little musty smell when we arrived, probably from little use and being opened up but it went away. Candles or air fresheners would help. Overall, loved the peace and quiet here. Located close enough to everything but far enough for privacy. I would go back for sure.

Cozy Lake cottage

This is a nicely updated older home that has all the charm and seclusion one might ask for. Even though the square footage isn't large, all of the rooms are roomy and comfortable. It has some unique furniture choices and original artwork that is available for purchase as well. The bed was very comfortable. Only 15 minutes away from Mountain Home restaurants and shopping, it is even closer to Norfork Lake access. It was the perfect solitary hideaway, quiet, only one house could be seen through the trees, and the cutest squirrel neighbors. The deck space was one of my favorite features, a nice quiet place to enjoy nature, a sweet vignette of the lake, a cup of coffee and a book. Perfection. Nice open floor plan for hanging out inside if the weather requires it. Definitely on my list of places to come back to.

Tranquil and Easy

I was looking for a place to really find some quiet and a setting that would offer some inspiration. This was it. Very easy process and communication with Wayne and Jeanne, very clean and well kept house. The situation is very simple, yet had everything I needed. The wi-fi is not ideal, but that was no issue - I just ran everything off my phone. Lots of wildlife and really great hiking nearby on David's Trail. Very good chance I'll be back.

Peace and quiet and dark skies were exactly what we wanted.

Our visit at Briarwood cabin was effortless. Everything fell into place with ease. Wayne and Jeanne’s gift of hospitality and privacy was greatly appreciated. Peace and quiet and dark skies were exactly what we wanted. Great views of the full moon, stars, and planets. No harsh street lights or yard lights !!! We were able to enjoy nature in comfort both inside and outside the cabin thanks to a nature view in every window and the wrap around deck with a lake view. Small safe autumn campfires were lovely. We are planning our return trip now.

Perfect Writing and Fishing Spot

My husband and I loved our stay! I needed to get some writing done and he needed to fish and this was a great spot. We used the Panther Bay Marina, which was close and friendly, to store our boat. The deck overlooking the lake was the perfect place for me to write. The entire cabin was very well stocked - from kitchen to bathroom to outdoor supplies for the fire pit - even bug spray! We did have problems connecting to the Wifi but I brought my own hotspot which worked great. Wayne and Jeanne were just lovely and if it wasn't for the pandemic we would have loved to visit more. We will be back for sure!
