John Thomas Gårdsbruk ~ avsides dal + bekk

Escape to a secluded farmhouse on a working cattle farm in the Ozarks, surrounded by rolling hills, wildlife, and a spring-fed creek. This beautifully remodeled home sits on multi-generational family land, offering complete privacy just 15 minutes from Mountain View, Arkansas.



Spend your mornings drinking coffee on one of three covered porches, explore the creek, and enjoy evenings around the fire pit under some incredibly dark, star-filled skies. With no neighboring homes, very little light or noise pollution, and only an occasional tractor passing through, this is a genuine Ozark farm experience with all the modern comforts, including fiber-optic internet.



The farmhouse sleeps up to 11 guests and features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, spacious living areas, and a beautiful upstairs master suite with an air-jet soaking tub. You'll also share the surrounding farmland with deer, wild turkeys, and a herd of friendly cattle. You may even spot a bear in the area!



Rocky Bayou Creek is a short walk down from the house, with shallow pools, gravel bars, and plenty of places to explore. The property is approximately 15 minutes from Mountain View, the White River, restaurants, shopping, and local attractions. Blanchard Springs Caverns and horseback riding at OK Trading Post are about 30 minutes away.



Please note that pets are not permitted at this property. The farmhouse is very secluded, with no neighboring homes or cellular service, so it's best suited for guests who enjoy being away from it all.

ABOUT THE FARM & CREEK



~This is a working cattle farm, and you'll likely see and hear cows during your stay. The cattle are selected for their gentle temperament, but please give them plenty of space. While the cows are free-range, the house is fenced away from them, and you'll only pass through grazing areas along the driveway and on your way to the creek.

~Rocky Bayou is a spring-fed Ozark creek that flows year-round, although water levels vary with rainfall. It has shallow pools, riffles, and gravel bars that are great for wading and exploring. Bring creek shoes!

~The creek is not suitable for floating, and fishing is not permitted directly from the property. A designated catch-and-release fishing area is located approximately a 5-minute walk away. Smallmouth bass have been spotted in the creek, and trout occasionally travel upstream during winter high water.

~The farmhouse uses filtered well water, which is naturally mineral-rich and may occasionally appear cloudy or leave mineral deposits. Water clarity can change after heavy rainfall. Two gallons of treated drinking water are provided under the kitchen sink.

~ATVs and recreational firearm use are not permitted on the property.
