I stayed in several cabins but this one has been an extremely outstanding for my family and the pet friendly was absolutely awesome. Good communication, a peaceful place to get away and lots of places to go nearby. We absolutely love it. Very much recommended.
Jenni was a great help and accommodating during our visit. We loved being able to have family join us there to hangout and play. The hammocks were relaxing, and the little goat they have near cabin 6 was a fun addition for my kids to see. My children enjoyed playing on the playground, playing volleyball and other yard games, and playing in the little kid clubhouse. The overabundance of rain meant that the dock was flooded so we didn't go swimming. It is a steep walk down to the dock through the trees. The only negative issue we had was that cabin 6 itself did not have wifi. which made online work a bit more difficult. The wifi signal did reach the nearby pavilion, but it was too slow. Overall, we had a lovely stay.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Wagon Wheel Resort. We stayed in Cabin 6, and it was very clean, as were the amenities on the property. My 3 year old loved the playground and the goat. The view was fantastic and Jenni was a very gracious host. We will definitely stay at Wagon Wheel again when we come back to the lake. Sad to see our mini vacation end, and will miss that view from the hammock.

About the host
Hosted by Jenni Coan
We moved here from the Chicago area for the opportunity for Jared to use his construction/property maintenance background to be self-employed. About a year later, Jenni had their daughter now runs the resort and raises the kids! In addition to the resort maintenance, Jared owns Twin Lakes Home Inspections and UC Construction and is a volunteer firefighter. Jenni volunteers with Norfork Lake Tourism, the Fireworks Association, and the PTO.
Why they chose this property
Jared vacationed on Lake Norfork as a kid and it was his parent's dream when they were about his age to own a resort around here. After a few months of looking, we found the Mountain Home, AR community, and primarily the resort community in Gamaliel to be the right fit for Jenni to be interested in moving and resort ownership. Walking out of cabin 1, the breathtaking lake view, lush landscaping, and accessible wildlife was enough to convince Jenni this was worth moving South for. It has been well worth it!
What makes this property unique
This resort in particular has a lengthy history - a photo hangs in the office of the main building from 1955, when there were merely ferries to take travelers across the lake in to Mountain HOme, AR. Now, there are (2) bridges, which has changed the vacation experience, but not integrity of our quaint resort. The cabins have been renovated, but there is a lot of nostalgia on property still. Our place is conveniently located but offers a lot of privacy, peace, and serenity, with enough to do to keep the kids entertained and plenty of space for outdoor play.
