Lake Longbow is an 80 acre ranch with a private 10-acre lake stocked with fish. There are miles and miles of 4-wheeler/walking trails, a waterfall in the wet seasons, woods, and pasture. And we now have 4 premier lakefront RV spots with electric and water.
The house is set up for up to 16 people to either just get away from it all or to enjoy outdoorsy activities. One our favorite things to do is sit on the deck at night, looking at the lake and star gazing. We also enjoy a campfire close to the lake in the fall and winter. The house has everything you need to sleep comfortably, relax, cook meals, watch movies, and play games. In fact, we dedicated the entire basement to fun central!
Imagine yourself swimming in the lake, riding the trails, exploring, fishing, and canoeing/kayaking. There's so much to do at Lake Longbow!
The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the main level, as well as a sunroom with a futon (just off the primary bedroom). The basement is the game play area and has as a bunk room and a bathroom. The bunk room has three sets of twin over full bunks, so that room alone will sleep up to 9!
We are passionate about our retreat, and we hope you enjoy it as well for years to come as we add more and more to it!
Here are local activities our guests enjoy:
Rockbridge-15 minutes away; it’s a great place for outdoor activities and fishing for Rainbow Trout. You can also enjoy hiking and dining there as well.
Byant Creek State Park-17 minutes away; with over 2,900 acres, the park features almost 2 miles of Bryant Creek frontage, large mature trees and natural formations, and 2 hiking trails.
Cane Bottom Hollow-14 minutes away; this is an awesome swimming hole in the summer
Glade Top Trail-35 minutes away; this is a 23-mile Scenic Byway named for the beautiful glades that surround the ridge tops where the Scenic Byway traverses.
Along the trail are seven overlook “pull-outs” that provide panoramic views that reach to the Springfield Plateau twenty miles to the northwest and forty miles south to the Boston Mountains in Arkansas.
It is the perfect place to escape the ordinary and to just get away from it all.
