There is an additional sleeping area separate from the house if you wanted to bring an extra guest or two. Lotus Point is only 6 miles from Jasper. Close to many access points on the upper section of the Buffalo National River for fishing, floating, hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing. The main cabin has 1 bedroom with queen bed, fully equipped kitchen, laundry and bath and sits on 9 acres of mostly wooded land. There is internet service and Roku TV as well as a variety of board games and books available in the cozy living room for guests to enjoy. The deck overlooking the Little Buffalo River is great for just sitting and relaxing or barbecuing on the gas grill provided. There is a small bungalow that can sleep two additional guests should you decide to bring friends. It is detached from the house, and is perched on a bluff overlooking the river. It has a queen size bed, A/C and heater, bottled water and coffee maker are provided, however, there is NO bathroom or cooking facilities. It is just for sleeping. There is an additional fee for use of this space so please be sure to indicate if you wish to use the bungalow. There is a steep and narrow trail that leads down to the beach and swimming hole for those who are adventurous. Guests will have full use of the cabin and grounds and are welcome to help themselves to herbs and any vegetables that are in season to add to meals during their stay. The trail down to the river below the house is quite steep and narrow, please use good judgement and caution when hiking down to the beach (and back up!) Feel free to explore the surrounding property, however, remember you are in the great outdoors, so you may encounter creepy crawlies, like mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, snakes, wasps, etc. Bringing some bug spray may be a good idea if you plan on hiking. You may be fortunate and see an abundance of wildlife, such as deer, elk, turkey, a variety of birds, including eagles, owls, and herons. The river is available for fishing, however you must still have an Arkansas fishing license. There is a small beach below the cabin with a seasonal swimming hole for guests to enjoy. NO HUNTING IS PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY. Your host is not on site, however she can be reached by phone or text at any time and is more than happy to stop by and meet with you during your stay. She can give you information and directions to many local hidden gems in the area. There is are some great guide books to trails, swim holes and waterfalls in the area. Also menus from the local restaurants are provided. Your host will also advise you of any local festivals and events. Jasper is a quiet quaint little town, usually bustling with tourists during the floating season in the Spring, hikers, rock climbers and motorcyclists in Spring and Fall. There are a couple arts and craft galleries in town and different festivals and events occur throughout the year such as Heritage Days and Elk Festival in Spring, the Bluegrass Festival in summer. As you wander around this little country town you will most likely encounter many interesting locals whose families go back many generations, as well as many "transplants" who have decided to make Newton County their home. Most of the roads are in good condition but if you go exploring the backroads make sure you have a good map. Cell service is not always available in some areas. Newton County Arkansas is a dry county. This means there are no places to purchase alcohol. We suggest you bring beer, wine, spirits with you. The closest liquor store is about 15 miles north of Jasper. There is a well stocked grocery store in Jasper, a Dollar general and a couple take out places and couple of good restaurants.
