This is the cutest little wagon! Beautiful location and far enough from civilization but close enough to the sweet little Oark cafe. However, the WiFi signal was terrible, the water in the shower was *cold*, and having to bring my own sheets and towels was a big pain. While my daughter and I enjoyed our stay, going camping would’ve been just as fun, and a great deal cheaper.
Beautiful view from the property.

This little wagon was perfect for our weekend away in Oark. Kris even gave us SPOT on directions for some trails to ride. It had everything we needed and is the cutest!! We didn’t spend a ton of time inside but the tv/internet worked great.

Weekend Getaway

My wife and I had a great weekend away. We took the jeep out on the trails for the day and headed back to our awesome little stay at the covered wagon. We recommend bringing a comforter or sleeping bag. It’s easier to cool the place than warm it. It was clean and cozy! It was so nice to take a hot shower after a day full of chasing waterfalls. It’s not far from Bryd’s Adventure area where we enjoyed a delicious steak dinner and the Oark Cafe where we had a great breakfast before heading back to reality.

It was a beautiful area and a great experience. The wagon was inviting and clean. We were fortunate enough to see lots of stars before it got cloudy. Needs outdoor lighting. Ensure you drive a vehicle that is a truck or SUV to be able to get up the driveway when leaving.

Perfect style of camping

It was just what we needed to escape the busyness of life and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. We splashed in the river, watched animals playing and chased crawdads. The stagecoach was a fun upgrade to old school camping.

Gorgeous and unique!

This was a gorgeous and unique experience in the covered wagon! The hosts did a wonderful job clearly communicating what was already stocked in the cabin versus what we needed to bring so there was no confusion and we were well prepared. The scenery was beautiful and the Oark Cafe and Mountainview Bistro were right down the road. Quick easy access for riding our sxs. Even with limited time for our quick weekend we were able to have a great memorable adventure!

Wagon Day

The covered wagon was super cute. There was plenty of space and everything was comfortable. Nice little walk to river, beautiful place to stroll. Too cold during our trip to dip toes in the water. Short. nice drive from I 40. Ours was just a stop on our way through but this is a great place to spend time.
