• Private river access for fishing, swimming, and relaxing along the Little Missouri River

THINGS TO DO NEARBY

The Little Missouri River is just steps from the back porch. Enjoy trout fishing, swimming, kayaking, or tubing depending on river conditions. The peaceful neighborhood is perfect for morning walks, and there’s a short paved trail near the public access area with beautiful river views.

Swaha Marina is just 2.2 miles away. Rent a boat and spend the day exploring beautiful Lake Greeson. Want a guided fishing adventure? Book a trip with Action Fishing Trips and reel in some crappie!

The world-famous Crater of Diamonds State Park is only 8 miles away. Explore one of the only places in the world where the public can search for real diamonds in their original volcanic source—and yes, you keep what you find!

Stroll through the charming downtown square in Murfreesboro—home to local coffee shops, antique stores, local eateries, and an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. It’s a great way to spend a slow morning or a relaxing afternoon with the family.

Just 29 miles north is Glenwood, the perfect spot to spend the day floating the beautiful Caddo River.

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE AREA

Pike County is a dry county, so you won’t find bars or liquor stores nearby. What you will find is a peaceful, hidden gem of a small Arkansas town. For our wine lovers—no worries! BYOB, and we’ll take care of the rest. We have craft ice, wine glasses, and all the bar tools you need to enjoy your favorite drinks in style.

Diamond in the Rough Lodge offers a welcoming experience full of local tips, southern hospitality, and space to make lifelong memories.

Located in a quiet out of town neighborhood. This home has enough space to accommodate larger groups and still give privacy to each, as the bedrooms and bathrooms are located at the four corners of the home. Central area of home is spacious. Our group loved playing pool when it rained. Otherwise, we were on the back deck watching wildlife, roasting marshmallows in the outdoor fireplace, or having a family meal together. I would definitely recommend this home to others.
