Peace at Bailey Shoals
Great cabin to just find some peace and tranquility. Short set of stairs to sit by the Little Red River. Cabin is equipped with pretty much anything you would need and the sweet hostess left us a s’mores basket. Loved the screened in back porch. Just really cozy and comfortable. We loved the area and how easy it is to get around. If you plan to spend time in any of the rivers, make sure to check their water release schedule. It’s pretty important. Thanks Jan! We will be back!

Great cabin
Perfect cabin for our family vacation. Right on the water and a short drive into town. Booking was super easy and communication with owner was great. Unfortunately, was unable to fish behind house because water too high and moving WAY too fast. We have a fantastic time anyways. Thanks!

These were perfect accommodations for our 3 night stay. Rustic, on the river, actually able to access the river and catch fish. We drove over 6 hours for our stay and would do it again. Stunning views, massive trees, good fishing. We were very pleased!

The house was a little dated but very clean! The kitchen was well equipped, and the house was well stocked with everything we needed to have a great stay. The location of the house was perfect. The view of the river from the deck was great. We had an awesome time. Will attempt to stay here again in the fiture.

Very relaxing zen feeling listening to the river water. Very nice screen in deck and open deck.
Very clean. My husband and I slept in the twin beds as we usually sleep in a king bed. I toss and tirn a lot so we thought the twin beds would work best. The beds were comfortable enough. My sister in law slept in the queen bed and said it was pretty soft. We think the mattresses need to be flipped/turned. The ceiling fan in the twin bed room made a lot of noise so we couldn't use it while sleeping. It should be replaced. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
