John Thomas Farmhouse ~ private creek access

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
We just had Fiber Optic Internet installed - way out here! Total privacy for creek exploring and star gazing - back to the farm with luxe (and smart) comforts that are all newly remodeled. Except random tractors, there is zero light or sound pollution, and no other domiciles around. At arrival in the valley, it feels really good. You are out there. It can be unnerving for some. Others, like us, crave just this. 15 minutes from shopping and medical in Mountain View, Arkansas, this is multi-generational homestead acreage – still in the family (John Thomas).

~ There is abundant wildlife; turkey, deer and even a shy bear in area. Did we mention cows? There are cows on the property. Cows go poop and "mooo." - they are carefully selected non aggressive cows.

~ The whole house is on a well. It's delicious. But this also means that its clarity can change and it has minerals - minerals can leave film. It is filtered and very drinkable, unless after heavy rains. We also stock 2 gallons treated water under the sink for drinking.

~ Exterior cameras in place at this property. Facing the driveway, side yard, and front yard.


PROPERTY LOCATION:
Gently rolling gravel road last two miles that any vehicle with 4 wheels can handle. The cattle are fenced away from the house but you will pass in their grazing field to access the creek as well as the driveway into the farmhouse. It is about 30 minutes from our world class Blanchard Caverns Recreation area and OK Trading Post with horse trail riding. It is 15 minutes from Angler's and Jack’s Resort restaurant and trout Fishing guide services and 15 minutes from shopping, medical in the town that you will fall in love with, MOUNTAIN VIEW ARKANSAS.

Other area attractions include North Sylamore Creek - for top notch swimming and smallmouth bass fishing, Ozark Folk Center State Park, Loco Ropes Course (tree top adventures), Arkansas Craft School - all within about 15 minutes.

ABOUT THE WATER:
Rocky Bayou is not really a bayou but a spring fed Ozark creek. Its level varies with rainfall, and it runs year round. While it is not known as a fishing destination, we’ve certainly seen smallmouth bass in it. Trout will travel up it in winter floods. There is a special dedicated area for catch and release. It is not located directly in front of the house. We will point you to this very near area about a 5 minute walk away. It is great for hanging out along side the gravel bars AND splashing in - varying pools and riffles - bring some creek shoes. It is not floatable. For more water adventure, go to the White River - Anglers' and Jack's Resort rent John boats and trout guide services economically. Boats can take you to confluences of other creeks where you can comfortably swim also. Really fun!

The perfect quiet gettaway
You will love it! Views are pretty. Property is very quiet. Perfect in the summertime with the creek running through. Firepit perfect for gatherings…a really neat place! It is a few minutes out of town so make sure to have everything you need if you don’t plan to go into town. A really special hidden treasure!

A little piece of heaven and history
Off the beaten path but still close to Mtn View. Our kids started off each day exploring the riverbank and swimming in the deep holes. House was perfect with a sunset you can’t even paint. Road down the road to fish. Not the best fishing but plenty of places close by. The farm dog bc best friends with our family and explored the creeks with us. Grateful to the family that shares this special piece of their family history with others to enjoy

Amazing stay at the farmhouse
This property was perfect for two couples, each with one child. Definitely had room for more if needed. Very clean upon arrival. The farmhouse was gorgeous and had all of the amenities needed. The property was as described, out in the middle of nowhere, but that’s just what we were looking for! Beautiful view and access to the creek was a plus! Definitely recommend!

Family at the Creek
We chose this property because of its location near the creek and because the farmhouse met our family’s needs. It felt like home right away, was clean and comfortable. The creek did not disappoint! We loved our stay!

Peaceful
Secluded, private, and spacious getaway. The farmhouse is up to date and the extended family loved that it was big enough for all 9 of us. We enjoyed exploring the creek, hiking, cooking big meals, hanging out by the fire pit, and relaxing is the quietness.

serene getaway
It was a gorgeous home and property. We look forward to coming back again. Only critiques are there was a constant high pitched sound that seemed to come from the refrigerator. Also, the first full day we were there, someone had moved the cattle to a pasture away from us, so the main reason we picked this place became something we did not get to see or have access to.

Perfect getaway!
We absolutely LOVED our weekend at the John Thomas Creek Farmhouse. It was the perfect location for a short R&R / Birthday getaway. The access to the creek on the property was a huge PLUS for this trip. Normally, we'd have to drive to get to the Sylamore Creek, but here, we were able to walk right out the door and down to the creek / Rocky Bayou. We actually got to meet one of the family members that the land belongs to - he was super sweet and looking forward to catching up with him again the future. Thank you for such a relaxing weekend getaway. We will DEFINITELY be back!

We have stayed in many rental cabins through the years. My priorities are always cleanliness, air-conditioning, hot showers, comfortable beds, internet, isolated, creek front. This place has it all! So blessed to have spent time there with our kids and grandkids.

Beautiful private vacation home.
I just loved this place! It is located off the beaten path, very private and quiet and beautiful! I went for several walks around the property and spent a lot of time at the creek. We cooked some really good meals on the grill and enjoyed the fire pit. We did venture out to do some hiking and check out a few local attractions near Mountain View. My favorite spot was the screened porch, for my morning coffee. This home is beautiful and clean and very well managed. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, just perfect for us!
