Camp beside a private spring‑fed pond on a historic 1800s sawmill homestead overlooking the lowlands of the Little Missouri River. This land was chosen for its natural springs — still flowing today — that once powered the mill, filled the concrete water troughs, and fed the ponds below. Stay where Arkansas was being built, surrounded by quiet pasture, friendly goats, and the timeless beauty of a working hilltop homestead.
Ranch & Retreat sits on a rare piece of Arkansas history. In the late 1800s, when this region was first being settled, the property was chosen as the site of a working sawmill. The hilltop offered a natural overlook of the lowlands near the Little Missouri River, where timber was harvested and milled for the surrounding towns.
The land was selected for one reason above all: water.
Natural springs flow from the hillside, feeding the mill, the homestead, and the ponds below. The original concrete water troughs still fill and overflow today — a living reminder of how early Arkansans used the land to survive and build.
Before I‑30 cut through the area, the gravel road leading to the property was once Highway 67, the main route through this part of the state. Travelers, timber workers, and early settlers passed right by this homestead as Arkansas grew around it.
If you’re looking for a quiet, private place to unwind under big Arkansas skies, this is it. Ranch & Retreat sits on a historic late‑1800s homestead surrounded by pasture, woods, and friendly goats. Guests come here for peace, stars, and the feeling of being tucked away on real rural land — not a crowded campground.
You’ll have plenty of space to spread out, enjoy the breeze, walk the land, and relax beside your own spring‑fed pond. This is a simple, authentic, no‑frills country stay with a lot of heart and history.
When you camp here, you’re not just pitching a tent — you’re stepping into a piece of the state’s early story.

Joshua was a lovely human.
I'm happy to say that my one night on his new property was peaceful and really quiet.
The facilities were clean.
I'm certain this site will become a favorite for many as there's a lot of space to feel not on top of each other.
I woke up and was happy to learn that I was only 40 minutes from the town, Hot Springs which was fascinating.
Highly recommend. 👍

Weekend Trip to Rose Retreat
I loved staying at Rose's studio cabin! It was so cute the way she has it decorated. It even includes a sauna in the cabin, which is very nice. The queen bed was very comfortable and had two nightstands that had charging ports and plug-ins. There was a roll-away bed with linens, but I did not use it. The kitchenette was nicely furnished and you could even purchase a dozen eggs fresh from the chickens on the property. The bathroom was very nice and a sample of homemade soap made by Rose was nicely packaged as a gift. There are a menagerie of animals on the property just waiting to be petted. They include goats, dogs, sheep, lambs, and chickens. There are also wildlife that live in the surrounding woods that can be seen. Many local attractions are close by. Rose has a list of bars and restaurants nearby, also. I hope you choose to stay at Rose's cabin and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere as much as I did.

Jen even helped me when I got a flat tire. I felt safe at all times which is huge as a solo traveler. The land itself is beautiful. Tons of animals. The sky at night is so clear and you can see all the stars. It’s only an hour drive from Hot Springs National Park which is super cool. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Cool thing is satellite messaging is free with the top tier verizon plan... anywho, they have roosters and chickens and what can you expect it is a cute farm so dont miss a chance to visit this incredible place!
