• How do we say this "we love the cabin"! It brought a piece of Heaven to us and also a relaxing time for our honeymoon! It is a beautiful cabin with a wonderful view. This is how we want to retire one of these days! Enjoyed everything from the cookies to feeling relaxed. Good luck with the other cabins.

        Can't wait to come back!

        Cookies were such a treat!

                            Russell & Connie, 11/15/2005, Paris TX

        The chocolate chip cookies are a great idea.

                            James & Rebecca, 10/27/2005, Topeka KS

• Your web site only touched on the beauty of the "cabin home" and the view! Don, you are a wonderful host and we could not be more pleased with our stay. You've thought of everything for your guest's comfort and the cookies were awesome! We finally were able to see many elk in Ponca and they were just incredible! We look forward to another visit.

          Thanks so much!

                            Bob & Renee, 10/23/2005, Baton Rouge CA

• Most beautiful view in the area. The cabin, a delight, the rockers superb! Ideal place to rest, relax  and rock. Did see a squirrel. If money saved will come again.

        Mom is one good cookie baker!

                        Jo & De, 10/21/2005, Houston TX

• We had a great time. The location is great. The peace and quiet alone was great, the view just added that something special. I recommend this to anyone looking to relax.

• Thanks for the perfect escape from city life. we need a little rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation in GOD's country - and your home away from home. Thank you for the little conveniences. We wanted for nothing.

                    Lisa & Joe, 9/2/2005, Houston TX

• Thank you for everything. Every little detail was greatly appreciated. The view was spectacular! Soaring birds, deer, humming birds, ... Wow!

        Thanks for the memories and the cookies, Hope to see you on our next vacation.

                    Brian, Donna, Jesse, Jody, 8/26/2005, Naples FL

• We were here on our 15th anniversary and it was great!! I'm so glad that I picked this place out of all the cabins I came across on the internet. Didn't see many pictures of the inside but we took a chance just by reading the reviews, but it is truly the most relaxing and serene place I have ever been to. the breeze up here was and is the best part of just sitting outside. In Huston you can't do that without having a can of bug spray on you. And here, well not one mosquito ever was around. Well not on the porch anyway. We will be back.

        Thanks for providing a great place to come and stay. God bless you and family

                    Sylvia & Robert, 8/18/2005, Houston, TX

• Thanks so much for the beautiful cabin and obvious attention to detail.

        Great vacation. We'll be back

                    Debbie & Wick, 8/16/2005, Casa, AR

• Towering pines, majestic oaks, soaring hawks, gliding turkey buzzards, humming birds, walking sticks, butterflies galore! Awesome view of mountains and valleys. Enjoyed cool breeze on the porch with morning coffee. Perfect peaceful! Had a 3 visitor to porch but they weren't photogenic! Anxious to get pictures developed of plane flying below the bluff! (Bruce waited on the bluff below the cabin in 95 deg heat to get a picture of it). We enjoyed our visit and plan to come back again! Want to experience the view in all seasons!

                    Joyce & Bruce, 8/8/2005, Cuba, MA

• You have opened you arms to many of God's people and now we realize why there are no complaints about the cabin. This was our first trip to Arkansas and it was utterly obvious that this is a scene straight out of Heaven. Your hospitality can be found no where else, but here in beautiful Newton County, Arkansas. Hopefully you are successful in your aspirations to create four more cabins.

        Thanks again and may God bless you and all who read this.

                    Suzy & David, 8/2/2005, Hiawatha KS

• Everyone else said it. God has blessed you and it's great you chose to share your dream. We enjoyed the peaceful and quite atmosphere.

                    Kurt & Charlotte, 7/29/205, Houma, LA

• We looked for a half way point to have a visit with dad. God sent us here, He made a fine choice. I have read and agree with all the praise in this book.

        Y'all aint done nuttin half way

        Thanx

                    Victor, Wesley, Jake, Amanda, & Karissa, Owensboro, KY

• This cabin is such a beautiful place. We spent so much time on the porch admiring the view and in the Jacuzzi. It was all so perfect!

                    Diana & Josh, 7/14/2005, Springdale, AR

• We enjoyed our three days in the remote, yet luxurious cabin. Highlights for us were: the whirlpool bath, the well stocked kitchen, and the information scrapbook. We spent a pleasant morning, hiking the Round Top Mountain Trail - even spotting a bear and box turtle.

                    Richard & Sarah, 7/11/2005, Jackson, MS

• All I can say is "we loved it"! It was a great place to bring the kids. We loved the cabin, but really enjoyed the porch. We'll be back!

        Thank you for everything

                    Carissa & Jeff, 7/3/2005, Redfield, AR

• We had a wonderful time the cabin was way more than expected the view was amazing. The entire family had a wonderful vacation. We especially enjoyed the little extras: bath salts, cookies. Everything was perfect from the warm greeting when we arrived to our last look at this wonderful view.

        Thanks for everything!

                    Kelly, Blake, Eryn, Emily, Scott, Tammy, Ryan, and Kristen, 6/25/2005, Opelousas, LA

• Beautiful cabin and view!!! Thanks for the delicious cookies, and telling us about the full moon! the porch is lovely, we took tons of pictures. We enjoyed the Jacuzzi tub, peace and quite, and welcoming town. You were right, the only thing we needed to bring was food!

        Thanks again for our unforgettable week here at the cabin! Hope to be back soon!

                    Angela & Greg, 6/19/2005, Walker, LA

•  

• This was the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. The view is marvelous and the cabin very clean and well stocked. Great cookies! The only complaint is that the cabin is so wonderful we didn't want to leave to do anything else.

        Thank you so much!

                    Kim & Wade, 6/12/2005, Sioux Falls, SD

• We had a pretty good time, the cabin was really nice and the view was gorgeous. By the way the cookies were really good.

        Thanks for everything

                    David & Tammy, 6/5/2005, Longview, TX

• We had a absolute fantastic time here! Not only is the cabin our favorite place to stay, but Arkansas is most definitely our favorite place to ride our motorcycles. We only put on 500 miles touring the gorgeous country side and plan to come back to our "home away from home" and experience more of this states beauty next year. We will most certainly ride highway 123 out of Mount Judea again - both ways! absolute thrill!!!

        Thanks for everything

                    Bowe & Janet, 5/28/2005, Rochester, MN

• We took a few days off to relax and found the perfect place; 1st Choice Cabin. We couldn't get enough of the fantastic view, so we spent most of our time relaxing on the front porch. We were very impressed with the fine craftsmanship of the cabin. We so appreciate all the attention to detail that makes the cabin so special.

        Thank you for sharing the spectacular place with us!

                   Dan & Renee, 5/22/2005, Canton, TX

• A supper setting for our buddies reunion! The sky high views, sailing birds, and cedar surroundings made for a very laid back relaxing oasis. The canoeing and hiking were a blast as well! We enjoyed the Webber Grill, nice furniture and well stocked cabin.

        Thank for the cookies and tip about the Ozark Cafe

                Cliff, Steve & Hutch, 5/20/2005, Fayetteville, AR

• Wow! What a beautiful cabin! Wow! What a amazing view! While the girls (4 years old) had a good time running around this great wraparound porch, we (the adults) could relax in the rockers reading and soaking in the view of the day. At night we relaxed in the tub and enjoyed the warmth of the fire place. We spent our days canoeing, or visiting caves or hiking.

        Thank for the wonderful hospitality and the cookies, thank your mother as well.

                Michaela & Brian, 5/15/2005, Redwood City, CA

• The cabin is wonderful! Everything from the amazing view, to the cookies, to the bath salts, everything that we needed was thought of and more.

        Thank you so much for everything

• Great accommodations would love to come back again.

                Kim & Bobby, 4/22/2005, Ruston, LA

• Love the location of the cabin! We've not every stayed at such a high elevation and the seclusion is wonderful! The surrounding community's people are so pleasant to visit with. The pride and TLC you've put into your cabin reflects in the furnishings and attention to decor. We slept better than we have in quite awhile. We're to come back and see the landscaping you added today.

        Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your corner of the world!

                James & Tammy, 4/8/2005, Oklahoma City, OK

• Enjoyed our visit here. People are so nice. There is so much to see and do in this area. Didn't get to spend much time on the deck. It was too windy, wish we could have. The beauty and solitude was so refreshing. Your hospitality is very commendable. Love the bathroom and the Hot Tub.

        Thanks for everything we truly appreciate all your kindness and hard work. Look forward to coming back!

                Janet & Mike, 4/8/2005, Oklahoma City, OK

• Thanks for the beautiful cabin, it made the weekend get way just what we needed. The view is wonderful. Hwy 7 south was a beautiful drive. We also hiked the water falls & Pedestal Rocks, what a great day. The hawks out front gave us great air shows, twice daily.

          Thanks again, will love to return in the fall.  P.S. The tub was great!

                 Stephanie & Mike, 4/1/2005,   Manchester, MO

• This is a beautiful place on a beautiful location. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the birds and enjoying the peace and quietness that you don't have in a big city. Thanks for the extra things you put in the cabin like the good cookies, bath salts, etc.

          We will be back again!

                Love Angela & Stan, 3/31/2005, Wichita, KS

• Beautiful Place! What a wonderful place to stay while enjoying the area! Saw three herd of Elk - about 100 total. Deer, Turkey, Coyote - Awesome! Jasper is a quaint little town with very friendly people. Just about the perfect family vacation! Wonderful weather also!
