Can't express our gratitude enough. Very spacious. Easily accommodated 9 people. Best fly fishing is right out the back door. Access to guided fishing tours within minutes. Great base for a group of adventurers or a family outing. Also took advantage of the river overlook deck and the firepit. Have been to several places over the past 12 years. We will be back to Old Charlie's next year.

Response From: Ozark Adventure Retreats, LLC

So glad you enjoyed your stay, Daniel! Y’all were great to work with and I look forward to having you back next year!

This was our second time staying here and it was just as, if not more amazing than last time! Such a great area with friendly locals. The house is fantastic and fit all of our guest perfectly and comfortably.

We will definitely be booking again for our yearly trip next year!

* owner desire to please and make sure our needs were met
* Norfork Grill for breakfast a must (didn't go for lunch, but I'm sure would be great burger)
* the Grill and Whispering Woods a diamond in the rough; wish we had known about it, would have gone twice in 9 days instead of once
* Jeremiah with Flys & Guides was terrific with novice fly fishermen ... what a treat that day
* had one hic-up with dryer; maintenance was there within 30 min - fixed and on our way to terrific week
* thank you Joey for terrific home - large family space and plenty sleeping room
* wildlife - bunnies and deer were a treat every evening, especially for our dogs!

While we were all familiar with the Norfork area and the North Fork River from our frequent flyfishing trips, this was our first stay at "Old Charlie's". Our expectations were high but were exceeded by the accommodations. Peaceful location on one of the best trout rivers in the country with 4 great restaurants within 5 to 20 minutes and a craft brewery a couple of minutes away. The place was spotless. Plenty of comfortable beds for a large group. There was not a single thing that we needed that wasn't provided. We are already looking for dates for our next stay here. Can we give it more than 5 stars?

Response From: Ozark Adventure Retreats, LLC

Wow! Thanks for the glowing review, Jim! We are so glad you had a great stay with us and we can't wait to have you back soon!

From check-in to check-out, the experience was pleasant.
The host was quick to respond to inquiry, readily available for needs that arose, and descriptive with instructions for entry and departure. The location was exceptional. To walk out your back door and catch dinner and have it on a wood stove cooking in minutes is, well...living.
Serenity and beauty surround you here, luxury and comfort are delivered, and amenities are as described. Beds are comfortable and all appliances are industrious. There was no lacking in this reservation; the transition from your house to this for whatever occasion will remind you of times passed vacationing at a family reunion, that's what this property offers.
Pull up a chair inside or out and light a fire from the stocked woodpile, and feel free to order out from local eatery's just 4 minutes away...or have a homecooked meal. Writing this review is my pleasure, as would staying again be.

Joey was a great host. His response time to questions upon arrival was always with in the hour making things super easy. If Joey is your host, you have nothing to worry about with your Airbnb stay.

Joey’s place was the perfect haven for us to stay during our “fly fishing obsessed” son’s birthday weekend. Early mornings provided excellent walk-in opportunities to the Norfork River and afternoons on the dock were so peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!

This property is located right on the Norfork River, with beautiful views from the deck and the ability to hear the water from inside the house with the windows open. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will look to return.

Clean and comfortable. Plenty of space for a large family. This is an ideal place for people interested in fishing. Caught fish right behind the house. Central to great trout fishing on the White river. Host was easily reached and prompt with responses.
Recommend without reservation.
