Sun Dec 31 WOW - A fly Fisherman's Dream Having spent vacations here for several years, all I can say is “WOW!” The cabin (and only one other cabin)sits on about a mile of private, gated river frontage with the only bank side access to Shoe String Shoal. Never heard of Shoe String, well that's because unless you stay here, the only way to fish this shoal is to come in by boat. Therefore, few fly fishers are ever able to enjoy this wonderful shoal. However, for you, it is just an easy stroll down the bank. In addition, it’s only a 7-8 minute drive to Rim Shoals, the most famous/fabulous fly fishing only, catch and release section of the White River. It is also only a quick 15 minute drive to the world famous Norfork River and to Dry Run Creek. The Norfork is just an amazing river, and Dry Run is where my 7 year old has landed 5+ lb. rainbows and my 14 year old’s best fly caught trout have run 10-13 lbs. That’s right; this is the best trout stream in the nation! Sorry, but it’s only for KIDS! So, don’t come without your kids or grand kids along with their fly rods and a camera! If you do bring them, you’ll make them into lifelong trout bums, and you’ll have memories that will never fade! The cabin is a fly fisher’s dream. It is extremely well appointed with artwork, pottery, fish pillows, mounted fish, a fly display with well over a thousand custom flies, and many, many, many other custom touches, including a fly tying desk. The three bedrooms are all very comfortable and each is uniquely different, but each has its own wash basin/mirrors, which helps to alleviate any “crowding” of the two bathrooms. The main room has a great open design with the kitchen/bar/living room pit group/entertainment center all being very comfortable. In addition, the dining room looks out over the deck and river. The cabin has a security system and excellent custom lighting to enhance any mood. On many morning and evening, you can sit on the large comfortable, covered deck and watch the deer in the yard and occasionally see ducks, turkeys and bald eagles! There are even several bird feeders which are always active with goldfinches, hummingbirds and other small ornamental birds. This is a first class place and is truly a fly fisherman’s dream. As I stated, I’ve been lucky enough to have stayed here numerous time over the years, and the cabin has become our family’s favorite vacation destination. I’m sure that your family will love it too. I just cann't believe that it is available for others to rent... It is a fabulous place and a great deal!!!
