Two-family long weekend
We had such an enjoyable time at Brian’s place! It was a perfect halfway meeting point for our two families. We had 4 adults, 6 teens/preteens, and 2 dogs and everyone fit very comfortably. We loved the pool table! And having two kitchens was super handy for storing food and cooking meals for 10 people. It was cold so we didn’t get to do much outside, but the property is spacious with beautiful views. We really hope to return at a warmer time! Brian was an excellent host, very communicative and responsive to anything we needed. He even brought out his goats and pig for us to see and the kids to feed. All in all, an excellent stay! We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Location
This place is amazing! The host is incredibly kind and makes sure you know exactly where to go. The location is great, leaving you feeling as though you're away from the hubbub of life but still only 30 minutes from Fayetteville. I highly recommend this property for your family vacation!

Close to State Parks
Great property close to Lake Fort Smith State Park and Devil's Den State Park. We came for fall foliage and hiking. The foliage was late this year, so it was just okay, but we thoroughly enjoyed the hiking. The owner shares a lot of information and makes a point to ensure guests feel welcome. We enjoyed meeting the goats and pet pig, Penelope. There are tons of fun extras in/around the lodge (pool table, foosball, pond with catfish, porch swings, etc.) and the living spaces are spacious. A couple of the bedrooms were a little tight, but we were happy to have the larger beds, so we made it work. While there is room for up to 12 people (assuming you don't mind sharing a full size bed), we limited our group to 8 since there are only 2 bathrooms. Would stay here again if I went back to the same area.

Excellent for large gatherings with that country feel
Owner is very polite and courteous. Family loved feeding the goats, fish, and the huge pig. Lots of things to do. Pool table, beer pong, foosball, fire pit, volleyball, horseshoes and fishing all on the property. Lots of room for sleeping, lounging, and gathering in the dining area for a large family meal.

Family Retreat
We had a lovely time at the property. There was SO MUCH to do for everyone! They had a wide variety of indoor and outdoor games to choose from. We had an issue with cats on the property (allergy), but the owners were very responsive about it. Also- random but if you need a 9X13 pan, bring your own! We couldn’t find one! Other than that, the kitchen was well stocked! Would definitely stay here again

Great spot for extended family gathering with little kids who love to fish!
Easily enough beds/bedrooms for 10. Great dual kitchen setup and lots of great seating inside and out. Inside and outside abundance of games and entertainment options including inflatable movie screen. Fish pond was fabulous for the little ones. Such fun to see wildlife. We loved it!

Fun on the mountain.
Our 6 adult, 3 kids and 1 toddler had a great time together at this lodge. The 5 bedrooms were a bonus and we were able to give the youngest his own room for naps and earlier bedtimes. Brian had 4 new swings around the fire pit which was so nice and such a varied games for us to play. The two kitchens 2 dining tables and 2 fridges was really nice to have with a big group. It was cool with a breeze blowing most of the time and the kids loved to run up and down the hills and fish at the pond. The reclining sofa chairs were new and comfy. This was the best arrangement for a family trip we have ever had!

Annual Brothers Bash
We celebrated our 17th annual Brothers Bash at this beautiful Mountainburg property. Everything was just as described in VRBO, pictures and all. Plenty of room, clean, good beds, plenty of kitchen utensils, pool table that can change into a ping pong table, plenty of board games, beautiful area, etc. We couldn't have asked for a better Host for a property. Brian was kind, explained information that he thought would be helpful to us, and just made us feel comfortable. Thank you, Brian. You're an absolutely wonderful Host. Highly recommend this property.
