The views were beautiful and we got to see some wildlife in the area! Shelly was a great host and we had some cute cow friends come visit!

Shelley was great at communicating and checking on us. I chose the location on the hill, and it was a great, private location to just relax.

Best Secluded Getaway Spot!
Shelly is amazing and very accommodating. Her property is gorgeous and there are sprawling hillsides and valleys to camp in and mountains all around. It was truly a serene and beautiful place! She has a lot of good things in the world right now with lots of new activities and adventures to come soon. I highly recommend staying a night or three here! I will definitely be back next year!

Lovely pastures
The farm plot of land was widespread and most of it felt uninhabited. Beautiful indeed. Truly a great place to get a quiet nature fix. I plan to return for the Big Foot festival in September :) Also, thanks Shelly for helping jumpstart my dead car battery !

Glamping in the Ouachita Mountains
Absolutely loved it!
The stay was amazing, even though it rained our last morning.. The tent was amazing and provided everything we needed.. Shelley met us upon arrival and was super helpful. She even gave us tips on where to go and what to do, thankfully there was a fair in town while we were there! The bed was super comfy and the view was gorgeous.. it could use a wee bit more privacy from the other guests, but all in all we absolutely loved it and will return most definitely!

Enjoyed relaxing time!
Very private area to camp while enjoying a great view of the national Forrest. Zip lines were fun time and great experience. Shelly was very helpful on events going on in the area. Restrooms were within walking distance and great to have.
