A map of the property is provided in the guest information book in the kitchen. The creek is located about a quarter mile from the house. In the summer it is suitable for swimming or wading, fishing, and kayaking (on a short stretch of creek). It has bass and perch. There are a few fishing poles at the house, but you would want to bring your own gear if you're serious about fishing. (There are some great fishing opportunities in the Mountain View area, on the White River and in Blanchard Spring Recreation Area.)
Kayaks and canoes are (USUALLY) available on the creek bank. Please check with the host in advance if you know you want to use them.
The water level and clarity of the water will vary depending on the time of year and weather.
You are invited to bring ATVs to ride. Shooting is also allowed. Please contact the host in advance about where to shoot.

Things to know:
The house is on a dirt road. Condition varies. It's always passable by car, but it can be bumpy or muddy at times. Some areas of the property may be accessible only by 4wd or on foot, especially during wet weather.
Cell service is spotty. AT&T works at the house, but service is not reliable as you get away from the house. You can drive along the road back toward town and pick up service in a mile or so. Other providers are worse. WiFi calling generally works at the house.
The house is wheelchair accessible via a ramp at the back door.
We offer guided hunting during deer and turkey season. This is booked separately, and hunting is not included with reservation of the house.
