Nature Respite

The property was absolutely amazing. I throughly enjoyed every moment of my stay, until the neighbors with side by sides and 4 wheelers checked in. I understand there are trails to ride and such, but the loops around the yard and through the pasture were quite disruptive. Other than, it was great!

This is the cutest little wagon! Beautiful location and far enough from civilization but close enough to the sweet little Oark cafe. However, the WiFi signal was terrible, the water in the shower was *cold*, and having to bring my own sheets and towels was a big pain. While my daughter and I enjoyed our stay, going camping would’ve been just as fun, and a great deal cheaper.
Beautiful view from the property.
A visitor one morning.

My husband and I needed a relaxing weekend away, this was the best way we could have spent it!! The wagon was perfect in size, the bathroom was so cutely decorated, the sink was amazing, after our sit in the creek just down the path, the shower and tub were the perfect way to end our day. The frig and microwave were just the perfect size for us and worked out great. The welcome letter on the shelves with books and games was nice to have for reference of things to and things to see in the area. Although we stuck pretty close to the wagon it was nice to know what our options were. The owner was fantastic on communicating the directions, code for the door and check in times. We would definitely stay again and also looked at the other cabins for options to bring kids and grands down next time. Thank you for the thought and planning you did on this weekend getaway spot, we will absolutely stay again.
The perfect view of the sunset from our little spot for the weekend. The owners did a great job with placement of the wagon when they built it.
The fire ring was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunset.

This little wagon was perfect for our weekend away in Oark. Kris even gave us SPOT on directions for some trails to ride. It had everything we needed and is the cutest!! We didn’t spend a ton of time inside but the tv/internet worked great.

Weekend Getaway

My wife and I had a great weekend away. We took the jeep out on the trails for the day and headed back to our awesome little stay at the covered wagon. We recommend bringing a comforter or sleeping bag. It’s easier to cool the place than warm it. It was clean and cozy! It was so nice to take a hot shower after a day full of chasing waterfalls. It’s not far from Bryd’s Adventure area where we enjoyed a delicious steak dinner and the Oark Cafe where we had a great breakfast before heading back to reality.

We enjoyed staying in the covered wagon - host thought of everything and all our creature comfort needs were met, including a great nights sleep. The walk to the nearby river was lovely! Will stay again sometime.

Unique Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in the covered wagon. It was very clean, smelled amazing, and the string lights gave it such a cozy vibe.It rained the first night we were there and we loved listening to the sounds of the raindrops on the canvas. We would definitely stay here again.
