We enjoyed our stay at the Briar Patch! Owners were really friendly, the outdoor activities around the cabin were perfect for the kids! Tons of wooded area to explore, nice pond with lots of small fish, private playground, cornhole and horseshoes! My 5 year old caught his very first fish here and about 10 more after that! Too small to keep, but great for kids! Cabin was clean and very well equipped with everything you could need apart from food, drinks, and your personal items! I definitely recommend bringing some food to cook because it is a ways from any restaurants! There’s a gas station at the intersection and another gas station and a dollar general a couple min away but we didn’t see anything else nearby! We brought food to cook so this wasn’t a problem for us. During the day we explored the area and then it was nice to come back to the cabin, let the kids fish, play, have a nice fire and wind down with a movie after! Things we did in the area: Cossatot River State Park in Arkansas (a little far out but not crowded at all unlike Broken Bow can get and we loved it!) Talimena Scenic Byway (Beautiful drive and if you do this you HAVE to go to Heavener, OK and eat at the Southern Belle restaurant, it’s a train car turned restaurant and the food is phenomenal!) while in Heavener we also did the Runestone Trail and it was really nice! Ryan, the owner, told us about a creek up the road and we checked that out on our last day and it was really nice! We had a great time,thank u!
