Great spot. Would recommend grabbing both spots for lots of space. Pond is awesome. Our Lab loved swimming and the fishing is good. Plenty of bass and bluegill. James was very responsive to all questions. If you need to re-supply, there is a 24-hr Exxon <5 minutes away. Don’t even have to go back into town. The boat and dock were added extras.

Weekend Trip to Rockin Bar B Ranch

We had a blast at Bobbi's cabin - it was extremely peaceful & secluded with lots of land to explore. I did yoga on the deck, read a good book & hiked the acreage while my partner spent a full two days fishing the pond. Even our small dog had the time of his life living it up like a wild little animal. Looking forward to trying the goose egg we were giving. Thanks again for the hospitality & relaxing getaway!!

Great stay would definitely go again. Lake is so much fun and the deck is really cool our dogs had a great time. I would recommend renting both spots because I personally wouldn’t want to share but if that’s your thing haha!

We rented out both sites for a night in our way to Arkansas and it was an amazing time. I would drive the 5 hours to get here and do it again. Our dogs had a blast running for the ball and getting in the pond. The host warned us rain made the field muddy so we definitely needed our truck to get out there only because of that but the field wasn’t too bad to hang out in when we got down to the water. 10/10 recommend.
