Nice home with nice outdoor area.There were 4 adults for 3 days. Not enough washcloths for daily showers. No washer/dryer onsite or we could have laundered out towels.We came in with trailers and side by sides. The driveway is in poor repair due to the roadway and water damage to the street coming into property. There is a 2 -3’ drop off on both sides of street so you can’t swing wide enough to get into place with a trailer. One trailer made it in, the second was unable. Fortunately, two very kind neighbors came to our aid and allowed us to use their properties. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

Check in was good. Had a t.p. supply issue and someone brought 2 rolls to us. Thought that was odd, just 2 rolls…Also no paper towels and one hand towel in the kitchen. Could not find a dish cloth or scrubby for the kitchen until the last day. The house itself was nice, clean and comfortable and in a great location.

After getting there we had some trouble but the host was very responsive. I called and we made it the house it was so nice. The shower was amazing and the rooms a nice size. It felt like out of town but close enough to town to go to the Dairy Shake for a nice sweet treat at the end of the night. It was a great place to stay with a covered patio and it has a swing with games in the shed. It was an amazing get a way for the week. Thanks for sharing your home!!!

Quiet and relaxing.
The house was quiet and relaxing. It was decorated really nicely and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The rain showerhead felt great after a long day in the river. We loved having coffee on the swing in the mornings. Would definitely recommend!

Family reunion
Perfect place to relax and recoup from a day at the river. Especially when it’s storming out.
Such a quant home with plenty of room to move around. Bedrooms are nice sized and the yard space has a firepit and outdoor games . It was nice not to be on Main street and feel the comfort of small town living

A piece of small town living
I can't say enough about our little getaway, it was exactly what the doctor ordered. The peace and quiet of getting away from the big city is unmatched, the stars were bright, the sound of nothing was as loud as you would like it. The property had everything we needed, the town folk were inviting and helpful, Blue Spring was a true wonder of nature and absolutely beautiful, Rocky Falls was a sight to see also, the store in town surprisingly had everything. Overall such a great stay, I recommend to all.

Sightseeing and exploring in the Jack Fork and Current River areas
This was a great little house for us to use for “home base” during the four days we were exploring the area. The house is very cute, clean and had everything we needed. We ate at the Double O Saloon two nights, that was fun and the people were really friendly! We grilled and cooked at the house the other two nights. The deck was great and if the weather was warmer we would have spent more time out there! The weather was cold so the house was nice to come back to, it warmed up quickly and was comfortable to curly up on the couch and watch TV. The shower was good with plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable with newer mattresses-really good house! We really enjoyed this house and the little town of Eminence-it was a great trip! Thanks Jamie and Keith!

Annual Eminence Visit
My friend and I travel to Eminence for a memorial motorcycle ride and float trip in honor of a childhood friend. This year’s visit was moved up a month and we couldn’t find a room anywhere close at the local motels. I look at VRBO and found this little gem that we were lucky enough to find available for our timeframe. From the moment we pulled onto the driveway we knew we made the perfect choice. Entering the home we found a wonderfully inviting home that exceeded all of our expectations. In addition to the cozy living area, fun large kitchen, wonderful bedrooms, and a bathroom with its unique shower, we also found great outside space in the carport and deck that included gas and charcoal grills. Everything about this property was just perfect for us, and we’ve decided this will be our home-base on future visits. All this and I didn’t even mention the ease of renting, and the friendly conversations with the owners. If you can’t tell by now, we highly recommend this property.

Comfy Place
Great place as homebase for all there is to do around Eminence and the Scenic Riverways! Listing was complete and photos accurate of the property. Super clean! Beds were comfortably firm. Shower had great water pressure and plenty hot water. Kitchen well stocked, even lots of basic cooking supplies, spices, coffee, etc. Wifi was excellent and Roku TV was great. Quiet neighborhood and only 5 minutes to the Dairy Shack, a must visit after a day on the River!

Met up with a friend that lives a few ours away from me- this was a good half way point. We spent mornings on the deck with coffee listening to the birds and watching the rabbits. It was such a relaxing time as we caught up and did morning meditations. We wandered into town for meals and spent a day swimming at the river. The house had everything that we needed even coffee and a few breakfast snack items. The shower was nice, good pressure and a large rain shower option.
