Great Location! Seclusion! Breathtaking Views! - Kids Under 6 Free Stay Free!

Take a vacation to the beautiful Ozark Mountains! Pilot Knob Retreat is located just ten miles west of Harrison, AR. You will find yourself conveniently situated between Branson, MO, Eureka Springs, AR, and the beautiful Buffalo River. So whether it is shopping and entertainment that you love, or sightseeing, hiking and rock climbing, this is the place for you.

The home has a very spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen as well as an outdoor grill. There is also a large recreation room on the lowest level. With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a hide-a-bed and 3 futons, the house will comfortably sleep 14 people and arrangements can be made to accommodate a few more.

Outside, you will enjoy breathtaking mountain vistas from the large deck overlooking the valley or from the crow's nest that sits on top of the house. The home is a gated property at the end of a well-maintained gravel road and offers absolute privacy. It sits on 20 acres that provide wonderful views of the Ozark Mountains, Harrison and the surrounding area. There are several great, unmarked wilderness hiking trails to explore.

This would be a great place to stay for a family vacation, group retreat or for corporate travel. We are definitely "Biker Friendly" and have been told that Pilot Knob Retreat makes the perfect home base for all of your favorite rides.

The house is complete with all that you will need with the exception of groceries and your personal items. Come and see for yourself what others have been talking about! Find us on social media for more information!

Kids 6 & Under Stay Free! Just don't include them in your number of guests!

***ATTENTION MOTORCYCLISTS***
The gravel road is 1 mile. The first 1/2 of the road is maintained by the county and it’s in pretty good shape. It’s not very steep or curvy. The second half my husband maintains it and it is in really good shape but it is steep and it does have a couple or three curves. I have several groups of motorcyclist every year. Be sure to check out the reviews mentioning the road to see what others have said. We have a Kabota RTV for anyone to use that does not want to ride the road from our house on up, we do have covered parking for you to park your bikes at our house.

Awesome, comfortable and peaceful!
Seven of us rode our motorcycles to the property. Three were fully dressed Harley-Davidson‘s. The road was challenging, but we all made it safely up and down. It is very well-maintained. Communication and assistance of the host was very easy and comfortable. If you’re a capable rider, you will be able to manage this beautiful retreat. There was plenty of space for all the bikes in the garage, and a large concrete pad outside as well. There is plenty of space for fellowship, and also plenty of space for quiet time individually. Overall a great time. The view from the deck is spectacular, and it’s only 15 minutes from Harrison.

Loved it other than mice
Very nice house over all! We were impressed but there’s a mouse problem, we were going to use the hyda bed but it was covered in mouse turds, all the cookware had to be cleaned before we used it, we ended up having to throw food away that sat on the counter due to mice holes. It didn’t bother us too much because we live on a farm and understand mice get in but this was a little excessive.

Beautiful views
Communication was good. And very flexible with checking in and out! Views were beautiful. We were disappointed in the overall maintenance of the place. Lawn was grown up, and house could definitely have been cleaner. But, it served our family fairly well over the time of our son's wedding.

Awesome view from the deck with plenty of room for all to enjoy! Nice house with access to a 3 stall garage. House was overall clean but attention to detail like light fixtures, ceiling fans and window sills was lacking. Kind of gross. Caretaker mowing the lawn while we were trying to enjoy an evening on the deck seemed very inconsiderate.

Perfect house
We had 8 guys that stayed at this house. We get together for a fishing trip. The house is perfect for us. We had access to the garage to put all our gear and a good place to get all our fishing gear packed for the day on the river. Plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably. We will rent this house again.

Amazing Views and Very Private
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Amazing views overlooking the valley and distant hills. Hawks and vultures ride the thermals right in front of you. The house is very comfortable and well furnished. The driveway up to the house is slightly challenging on a motorcycle but our group had no problems at all. Loretta's communication is excellent. Highly recommended!

Beautiful home, gorgeous view
We are so happy to find this property. The house is nicely decorated and in good repair. Set on top of a hill, it offers a great view from the deck or the crow's nest. We called about one small problem and the owner came right out to fix it. We look forward to returning next year.

Amazing property with a Gorgeous View
We had an amazing stay at the property. We loved every minute there and wish we could have stayed longer. Loretta is wonderful to communicate with if you need anything and responds quickly. The property features so much to do to keep your family happy and beautiful views to wake up to. We would definitely be interested in returning, and can't recommend it high enough.

Top of the rock
This place is great! So clean, so much room, so relaxing, so well furnished, and a view that keeps on giving. Unfortunately our time there was spoiled by cold and sleet so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoors or great balcony with terrific views but could see it all from warm and comfortable seating indoors. When it was time for us to depart the ice accumulation was substantial and given the steep and winding road we were somewhat concerned but Henry drove his tractor up and snow/ice plowed a path for us enabling us to maneuver it easily. We highly recommend this place and look forward to returning.

Great house and hosts
Great house that was a perfect place for a family get together for our Father's Birthday and fall foliage viewing. Close to lots of wonderful hiking and a day trip to Branson. Beautiful views from the house. Loreta and her husband were very helpful in getting us propane for the grill for my Dad's birthday meal. We would definitely stay here again.
