The garage is the only restricted area with no guest access. On the property, there are (3) other houses nearby, please do not disturb these people including exploring these areas on foot -- you are trespassing and will be questioned and escorted back to your area.The densely treed area to the South and West (follow the natural rocky/grassy trails) is available to explore on foot. The river access point can be reached via the gravel path South of the home leading down to the river that features a 60-year-old hand-built cobblestone wall and is a great spot for swimming, fishing or putting in a canoe or kayak.The bluffs with majestic sunrise and sunset views can be reached via a short and easy mostly grassy walk South-West up the hill trail which loops through the forest and back to the start.Please know that during periods of recent heavy rains our grass grows very quickly but needs to be dried out before we can mow it so there may be times when the grass on the trails is taller than expected -- we do our best to keep our trails looking pristine at all times. During periods of recent heavy rains, the Ouachita River may be flooded and rushing at a rapid rate. That may render parts of your river access temporarily inaccessible, or the river would be too treacherous to enter, swim or boat. At the river access point there are deep glens that pour water from the mountainsides down to the river, please avoid those areas during rains as they flood quickly and water rushes fast.Our family proudly homesteaded this property sixty years ago and we still live on-premises and nearby. Therefore, we are always available through the app messaging system or via phone call or text once numbers are exchanged. Please contact us with any problems so we may fix them for you expeditiously.The home is conveniently located on Highway 270 West so there is road noise when sitting outside on the front porch area and somewhat in the firepit area. Just a bit further back, and the noise quickly fades to nature. Inside, road noise cannot be heard, and the walls have extra sound dampening material installed to be extra certain.1 bundle of firewood is supplied, more wood can be delivered for $5/bundle, contact your host Melissa to place an order for firewood delivery.SMOKING:Living in a forest, we have zero tolerance for smoking or vaping of any kind, anywhere in the house or on the property. STRICTLY ENFORCED, you will be asked to immediately leave if we see, smell or find evidence.PETS:We love animals but we want to keep the house clean and fresh and our grass barefoot worthy for all guests. Therefore, there are NO PETS ALLOWED in the home or on the property. STRICTLY ENFORCED, you will be asked to immediately leave if we see, hear, smell or find evidence.RV HOOKUP OPTIONS:If you are traveling with an RV, for an extra nightly fee, the site includes two 30A electric, water and sewer hookups with enough space to park adjacent to the house. Please contact the host to discuss RV hookup options available ONLY to registered guests.Thank you and we look forward to hosting you and your family!
