As you step onto our property, you'll be greeted by the melodious sound of Prairie Creek, gracefully flowing and forming a small waterfall just steps away from your doorstep. Imagine starting your day with a steaming cup of coffee or tea on the patio, serenaded by the symphony of nature.

Crafted with exquisite stonework, this home seamlessly integrates with its picturesque surroundings, where Ouachita mountains stand sentinel and gentle trees whisper tales of tranquility. Step inside to discover a sanctuary adorned with Pella Windows, framing breathtaking vistas that invite the outside in, suffusing every corner with a sense of calm and wonder.

Nature lovers will delight in our resident family of deer, who frequently visit the deer feeder on our property. These graceful creatures are protected here, offering you a unique opportunity to observe them up close in their natural habitat.

Located in a peaceful, rural area, our home offers seclusion while still being conveniently close to local attractions and amenities.

Wonderful & Peaceful
The home was amazing. From the patio to the small creek, to the overall setup. We felt at home and relaxed and loved every minute of our stay at Shangri-La! Coffee on the patio watching the sunrise is a must!
