Enjoy A True Lakefront Vacation
At Norfork Lakefront House it's an easy stroll to the lake which is 50 yards away. Walk across the smooth, flat yard to swim, fish, or boat. A southwestern exposure grants gorgeous sunsets across the lake year around that you'll enjoy from inside the living room, on one of the two decks, or as you walk the shoreline.

Enjoy norfork lake sunsets from both decks. This deck is off the living room.

The house is at the end of a paved road in a safe neighborhood where you can walk comfortably night or day. You can walk to a marina, a picnic park with playground equipment, a public swimming beach, and several excellent places to bank fish.

The marina rents boats, WaveRunners, and watersports equipment. The marina store sells snacks, basic sundries, marine accessories, bait, and fuel. If you bring your own boat you can rent a slip and use the hard surfaced public launch ramp with courtesy dock.

Spacious living/dining area offers beautiful Norfork lake view sunsets too

What There Is To Do
No doubt about it, watersports are the main attraction at Norfork Lakefront House. But there are non watersport activities within an hour's drive or less.

Lake Fishing - You can fish from shore, rent a boat to fish from, or go fishing with a guide who will meet you at the house. We'll help you arrange guided fishing trips. Largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, white and striped bass are the main sportfish. Crappie, walleye, and catfish are also very popular lake sportfish species.

Trout Fishing - Catch rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and brook trout all in the same day in the same river - the North Fork River, which is a 35 minute drive. Rent river boats, wade and bank fish, or go trout fishing with a guide.

Swimming - Within walking distance from the house is a public swimming area. You can also rent a pontoon boat and cruise to a quiet secluded cove for a swimming adventure.

WaveRunners - The marina rents WaveRunners so all you need do is walk over and hop aboard!

Watersports - Tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, and just boating the lake are all common with our guests on this part of Norfork Lake. Bring your own boat, or rent one at the marina.

Golf - In Mountain Home you'll find two 18 hole golf courses. One has made the Golf Digest 5 Star rating twice. The 5-Star rating is given to only 16 courses in America once every two years.

Dining - Within a 15 to 30 minute drive are several good restaurants ranging from locally owned Mom & POPs, to fast food, to chain restaurants. Most serve beer and wine.

Shopping - When the men go fishing the women go shopping at several area craft, gift, book, antique, and collectable stores, as well as a Wal-Mart Super Center, Lowes, and Home Depot.

Entertainment - Bowling, movie theaters, miniature golf, a driving range, and occasional live entertainment are all found in Mountain Home 20 to 30 minutes away.

Nature - Horseback riding and canoeing are available nearby. If you wish to go birding, exploring, hunting, mountain biking, or for a day hike, you are in luck. Across the lake from Norfork Lakefront House is a large Wildlife Management Area open to the public. The Ozark National Forest, which is 35 minutes away, has several hiking trails.

Day Trips - One of the best ways to enjoy Ozark Scenery is to plan a day trip. There are several destinations allowing you to leave in the morning, take in a scenic drive, stop for meals, entertainment or attraction visits, then return by early evening. Plan your trip right (we'll help) and you can take in several attractions in a day. For example, plan a trip to the Ozark Folk Center, which is about 90 minutes away. On the way you can enjoy seeing huge rainbow trout at the Norfork National Fish Hatchery, Norfork Dam, the Wolf House (the oldest house in Arkansas, a fascinating log cabin), and the amazingly spacious caves at Blanchard Springs Caverns. Then you can spend a couple hours touring the Folk Center! Ask us about other day trips.
