About this property

LAKE ACCESS & GREAT VIEWS! MINUTES TO THE WHITE RIVER!! 3 BR/2BA, 1500 sq. ft.

The Good Life is a family friendly lake house that we want to share with you! With Bull Shoals Lake right outside your back deck it is accessible for fishing, hiking, relaxing, boating, and/or exploring. Our lake house has 3 BR, 2 BA, sun-room, and wrap around deck that gives ample space for that relaxation you crave. Or if it is excitement you want, head to the Marina which is a 5 min. drive to rent boats, jet skis, kayaks, or canoes! There is also a cave nearby to venture through! Come and enjoy!

The Good Life is located in a quiet setting and on the outer edge of town, on the lake. With the beautiful wraparound deck it's easy to enjoy the outdoors and the natural surroundings!

We are centrally located, minutes away from shopping and lake activity. You are ONLY 5 min. to the Bull Shoals/White River Dam and Visitor's Center, 5 min. to Harps Grocery, 5 min. to Bull Shoals Marina where you can rent a boat slip, 5 min. to Bull Shoals Caverns, and 5 min. to Dollar General. Also the Bull Shoals-White River State Park is about 10 min. away where you can fish for that trophy Trout in the famous and beautiful waters of the White River! Or drive about 45 minutes south and tube or kayak float down the Buffalo River...you won't regret it!

Also, only a 1 min. drive away is Brown's Beach where there is a nice swim hole, boat launch, park, pavilion, and bathrooms available to the public. The perfect area for a day of swimming, fishing, and picnicking!

There is even a Drive-In Theater a little over an hour away. Kenda Drive-In, Marshall, AR.

All the TVs are smart TVs. Two of them are Fire TVs so you will need to have an Amazon account in order to use them. Netflix, Hulu, HBO and many more apps are available for use with your own accounts. We do have an antenna in the Living Room for local channels as well. Please don't forget to log out upon leaving! Thank you.

Bull Shoals Lake is protected by the Army Corp of Engineers and is kept in near pristine condition. Please make sure to pick up your trash when enjoying the lake life to keep the area clean and enjoyable for the next person. Thank you.

Great location.

The home was clean and organized and had all the items needed for us to have a great weekend. Conveniently located to boat ramps and parks so we could enjoy the lake at ease. The host was amazing and communicated quickly when needed.

Just as advertised

Great view of the lake from the sunroom and bedrooms. House was clean and just as advertised. If fishing with a boat the driveway is a little hairy to back a boat into - the neighbors came over and complimented our boat captain that they had never seen someone successfully back a boat in! ample room for parking of other vehicles and a short short drive to the ramp at Browns Beach.

Great Property!

This cabin was perfect for our small group. The cleanliness exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the back deck and being so close to the lake. We used the fire pit one night to roast marshmallows. The neighborhood was very quiet and a short distance from our fishing excursions on the White River. I would highly recommend this cabin and look forward to coming back!

Great Location, comfortable house w/ lake access from house and just down the street

The house is comfortable, and the adjustable queen bed was great as I have a spine fusion and need a bed that can go into zero gravity. The king bed and the two twin beds in the house are also very comfortable. Living room, dining room & game room are also very comfortable. Kitchen is smaller but adequate. Check in and check are was a breeze. The only two complaints are the TV connections had a short somewhere so the cable signal was intermittent in the living room. The carpet is pretty worn out with traffic marks, but for a lake house that is somewhat common with carpet.

Comfortable and Relaxing

We spend 4 days in this Bull Shoals property and everything was perfect. The home was extremely comfortable and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Amble parking and even enough to park our boat. Great neighbors that were very helpful and welcoming. Great location whether you are fishing on the river or lake! Would definately stay here again!

Amazing

Perfect little corner of Bull Shoals. The house was spacious and comfortable. A short walk to the swimming area. 10 mintue drive to the marina to rent a pontoon. All necessities were supplied; dishes, sheets, towels, spices, and lake noodles. The 2 other homes on the street were owned by quiet neighbors. Cooked out every night but the last - headed to Gastons. Thank you Heather for providing a wonderful vacation home for rent and Lori for responding so quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Howard

Host profile image
We are just a laid back couple who came upon the Bull Shoals/White River and fell in love with area! We enjoy taking family vacations and know how important it is to you as well to stay in a comfortable, clean, and fun setting! So, we purchased this to use for our family and to share with you as well!

Why they chose this property

Oh my, this property is incredible! Being on Bull Shoals Lake is like being in heaven...The water is so clear, warm, and inviting. Being here brings out the kid in you, reminding you how much fun can be had!

We also love Trout fishing, and the White River is a short 5-10 minute drive from the house. So to get the best of both worlds this property allows us to enjoy the river and lake life!

We also wanted to be located near grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping. So while The Good Life seems far from everything we are 5 minutes away from all the conveniences that we still need!

What makes this property unique

We chose The Good Life because it felt good, the smell of nature, the lake, and the open sky at night. The quietness that is not available in the city life. You know when you visit somewhere and it just feels right? This is that place.

With the wraparound deck, the access to the lake, the swim hole a short 1 minute drive away, the White River a few minutes away, the Bull Shoals Caverns, fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking, jet skiing, hiking, I could go on and on...This IS the perfect spot to enjoy with your friends and family. And we just know that you fall in love with it as much as we did!
