“Great place to stay for large family or small groups. Immaculately clean. Great service. Lodge has 4 enormous bunk rooms, big bathrooms with showers, huge industrial kitchen with everything you need and a game room and huge gathering dining room. Lots of room outdoor for pick up football or games and a fire pit. There are also cabins to rent and gorgeous primitive campgrounds at Troublesome Hollow with a natural spring. Very near the Current river and Ozark National Scenic Riverways.”

“Wonderful place! My family has all our family gatherings here. That's normally around 6-8 times a year. I do hope that someone can be caretakers of this business and not have multiple hands. It's starting to need some attention.”

“This place is a special place. You can't be told the experience you'll get here bc God will give each of you a personal individualized experience you won't forget. But remember, don't go looking for the answer. You might get a different answer to a question you didn't realize you had...”

“A very good place to stay. It is regularly cleaned before and after each visit and very fairly priced. It is owned by the United Church of Christ and I know the manager personally; he is a very good guy! Not to mention the manager (care taker) is also the preist and care taker at Shannondale Church. You will not be disappointed from your visit!”
