About this house rental

This home originally opened as the Staggs Hotel in 1945 to house the workers who built the local dams. Now, completely renovated, this cottage puts you in the middle of all that the Norfork area has to offer. This 7 bedroom, 5 bath home sleeps 20 and is within easy walking distance to local restaurants, a grocery store, and the public access at the confluence of the White and North Fork Rivers. World Class trout fishing and other outdoor activities are within easy access during your stay. Twin Rivers Stone Cottage has a classic "giraffe field stone" exterior which is a type of construction that is very unique to North Arkansas that was popular during the 1940's. We have attempted to maintain classic fishing lodge decor throughout the home. On the main floor, there are three bedrooms (with king, full, and two twin beds, respectively) and two full baths, as well as a full kitchen and spacious dining area. Each of the four upstairs bedrooms have a half bathroom within the respective sleeping areas. A shower in the upper hallway is shared among these four upstairs bedrooms. The living room provides comfortable seating and includes a piano and television with cable and access (via your subscription) to major streaming services. The living room wall is lined with classic books and interesting "treasures" from days gone by. The newly remodeled kitchen has all new appliances and is more than capable of providing food service to the fully occupied property. The dining room seats ten easily at a long custom-built harvest table, with additional seating for up to four at the kitchen counter. There is a spacious porch on the back of the home with rocking chairs, as well as a side porch with a swing. Additional relaxation is available at the fire pit and hammock ring in the backyard, which provides a calming space for reflection after a long day of fishing on the rivers or boating on beautiful Lake Norfork. The basement features a laundry with washer and dryer, as well as a poker and ping pong table. As with many basements, the head clearance is about 6 feet with exposed floor joists, so we recommend caution for persons who are tall enough to bump their heads in this area. The entire property (main floor, upstairs, basement and entire yard) is included in the rental. We can be reached through the messaging feature on the Airbnb app/website. The home is in the middle of the small town of Norfork, Arkansas, making for easy walking distance to the local grocery and liquor store, microbrewery, several restaurants, a coffee shop, as well as the public access area to the White and North Fork Rivers. Numerous options for fishing, hunting, kayaking, water sports, mountain biking, hiking, and sight-seeing are within easy reach of this property during your stay. The neighbors are friendly, the community is very safe, and access to various outdoor activities is easy. If your goal is relaxation, you will find this a quiet community where you can easily rest and recuperate. Once arrived at our home, you will be within easy walking distance of most attractions in Norfork. It will be beneficial to have a vehicle at your disposal during your stay for certain activities. Be advised, there is no local Uber, Lyft or taxi service, as the community is quite rural.

This is the cleanest property I have stayed in. Our group is visiting the 52 AR state parks in 2023 and this was a great home base for visiting Ozark Folk Center, Bull Shoals Stae Park, and Mammoth Springs State Park. We fished behind the house and caught a lot of trout. We rented Kayaks from Riley's Outfitters in Mtn Home and floated. We rented a party barge from Jordan Marina on Lake Norfork and it was reasonable. We road from Arkansas to Missouri on the Peel Ferry (last operating ferry in Arkansas). We visited Bull Shoals Caverns and Mountain Village 1890 in Bull Shoals. We went to Blachard Springs and hiked the boardwalk along Mirror Lake and the trail to the bottom of Mirror Lake Falls. Blanchard Cavern Tours were sold out so be sure to get tickets ahead of time. We hiked at Grand Gulf Missouri State Park since it was just 15 minutes past Mammoth Springs. We ate lunch at the Skillet Restaurant at the Ozark Folk Center and their entrees and deserts are so good. We ate dinner at PJ's, Gastons, and the Live Edge in Mt. Home and all 3 were 5 stars for both entress and deserts. The Live Edge is closest to the house and with beautiful presentation, lots of selection, and reasonable. Ate breakfast at the house and the kitchen is well equiped and table large enough to seat everyone. Loved the bedrooms upstairs all having a half bath. We were together but had privacy. 2nd stay there and will stay again when in the area.

As excited as we were by the listing photos, the actual experience of Stone Cottage far exceeded our expectations. We stayed here with 5 other MTB families and never once felt cramped. The house and grounds are simply beautiful and the historic structure is filled with eccentricities and character. Our boys spent hours at the fly tying bench... an especially neat touch. The owners were easy and prompt with communication. We look forward to coming back next year (if not sooner!)

There are many book nooks, peaceful places, and cozy corners to enjoy. The house is comfortably furnished, well appointed and thoughtfully decorated to feel like you have come home in the Ozarks. We loved every bit of it!

My wife and I have six adult children, four of them are married, one has a steady boyfriend and between them all we have seven grand kids. If you do the math that's 20 people in one house! The Stone Cottage suited us to a T! The property is beautiful and so well situation close to local stores and shops. The history, the fishing and water sports and hiking were just what we needed to have fun day trips. The evenings were filled with great food prepared in their well stocked kitchen. Lots of fun games around the table. The back yard gave us plenty of room for the kids to play outside. The porches were great places to gather and have coffee and conversations in the morning! Lonnie and Robin were amazing hosts and were easy to communicate with! What a treat! We loved our time here and would highly recommend it to large families!
