Cabin Setting & Location

Covered porch facing the creek

Setting
If enjoying your honeymoon, fishing trip, or relaxing get-away weekend in total peace, quiet, and privacy, Creekside is for you. There are no other buildings around for 1/2 of a mile - it is quiet. A new, modern, fully furnished log cabin hidden in a clearing in the middle of 80 acres of forest assures your privacy. A soothing creek flowing year around over limestone formations creates peace. The land type is a true forested Ozark bottomland valley. The Oak-Hickory-Pine forest, with its rich alluvial top soil, supports a wide range of Ozark flora and fauna. The air carries a refreshing scent of deep forest. And when inside our log cabin, you'll be comfortable any time of year!

This creek, called Hopewell Creek, is 200 feet from the deck

Location
Regardless of what you want to do on your vacation, we're not far from it! You'll be 10 minutes north of two trout docks at the confluence of the White and North Fork rivers. At the confluence you can also do some wade fishing in a world class trout fishery. The trout docks can provide you with a professional fishing guide and Jon boat rentals. So you'll be close to some of the best trout fishing in the world. Creekside Drive is 1/2 of a mile long, and runs off Baxter County Road 63 right near the Otter Creek Bridge. We're ten minutes south of the Lake Norfork Dam, which means you can enjoy your favorite lake water sport. The village of Norfork is 10 minutes to the south where you can buy gas, food, and fishing tackle. When you're ready for heavy duty shopping, the City of Mountain Home is 20 minutes away. And if you REALLY want to shop, the world's largest Wal-Mart is 15 minutes away.

Sylamore District, Ozark National Forest
If you are an amateur naturalist looking for a special new ecological land type to explore, you are in luck. Naturalists enjoy numerous pursuits everywhere from within a few feet of the cabin to an hour away. You can explore over 100,000 public acres of classic Ozark chert/limestone/dolomite soil type terrain, most of which is forested with Oak-Hickory-Pine stands. There are also several cedar glades where you'll find native forbs. Many old logging roads from about 75 years ago give excellent access to the terrain. The Cliffty Canyon botanical area offers some impressive Ozark vegetation and wild flower glades, streams, and barrens. Wildflower walks, bird watching, macro and landscape photography, cave tours, wild turkey, are all within an hour or less from the cabin. After a hard day in the field you can enjoy a hot bath in the large Jacuzzi tub.

The Yard
Behind, and in front of the cabin are high ridges. Over the eons, rain has filled this little valley with rich alluvial top soil, which now forms the cabin yard. Since this is rare in the Ozark uplands, and since this type of soil supports many flowers and plants that no other area soil will support, a wide range of animals and birds come here to graze. Wild turkey peck among the bank weeds for hoppers. Deer and small  mammals come for the mineral licks along the creek. The creek itself is full of crayfish, minnows, and frogs, which children thrill to chase and catch. For a special treat come in April during the redbud and dogwood tree blooms.
