This was our second visit to ROLF & it truly didn’t disappoint! Our first visit was in 2015 and we stayed in the Whispering Pines cabin. A historic flood event kept us from going to our cabin the first night, but the rest of the visit was spectacular! We witnessed the rare waterfall that previously happened 30 years ago, and it was gone the next day. Our second visit we stayed in Bungalow cabin. It was beautiful. We loved listening to the roar of the river below from the covered back porch. We saw deer, armadillos, and even a beautiful stray cat! We hiked to Inspiration Point and also played with the grounds’ goats. The lodge had major improvements from 2015, which included a merch shop and a restaurant! We absolutely cannot wait to be back in the near future (hopefully)!

My family stayed at the River Falls cabin and it was superb. Perfect view of the falls on the river from the deck and peaceful to hear the falls with an early morning cup of coffee while waking up and enjoying the morning from the deck. The cabin was very spacious, enough for a queen air bed added. Very clean and well taken care of. Owners were very accommodating and the nicest people. We rafted from Hammond to ROLF and it's a long float with kids stopping all the time but did it about 6 hours. We took our own tubes and floated the next day from ROLF to Blair Bridge. It was the perfect little float of about 2.5 hours and wasnt so tired. I would highly recommend staying here and do plan on repeating. The on property store has just about everything you need from water shoes, coozies, hats, all the lotions and sunscreens, to small snack foods. You'll need to buy cold items like dogs and hamburgers elsewhere or just dine in their restaurant. Nothing to complain about here unless you're just not a very easily pleased person, but maybe this little peace of paradise could soften that heart.…

This was a beautiful place to get completely unplugged and enjoy nature. The tree house cabins are roomy with an outside grill and fire pit. Whirlpool indoor and nice hot shower. Stargazing was fantastic and we saw river otters on the river. We will definitely come back!

We stayed in the Mountain Lookout Log Cabin. It was situated in a perfect location, even though there are other cabins nearby, you have a lot a privacy. Our cabin had a large deck with a great view of The Falls. We had a 2 yr, 1 yr and 4 month old and there was plenty of room in the cabin for everyone. My husband would have liked to have a tv (with service) to watch when he wasn't fishing, but he survived!! My married kids said it would be a great place to stay with friends, so I'm sure they will be back.

We were a family of 4 adults with a small kid who visited the ROLF for 2 nights a fortnight ago and we had a very awesome experience at this unbelievable location which was indeed a tryst with mother nature.The place is so beautiful located in a tree lined valley ,with a number of tree houses and cabins lined overlooking the calm flowing North Fork river.It such a quiet place, oozing with freshness all around, one which gives you total relaxation ,both in the mind and body.The calmness is only interrupted with the sound of chirping birds and an occasional animal which shows up to graze in the valley. The cabin was comfortable and we had set up a bar be que to enjoy one fine evening.The breakfast & dinner served on firm order was gorgeous , the Chef was proficient and he along with his wife were indeed very hospitable. We couldnt do the hiking part as it began to pour intermittently, however , on day two , we went for a river float and paddled down the North Fork River which was indeed fun and great recreation.The deboarding/delaunching part of our float got a little tricky as the the water current didn't permit us to hit the bank and one of us had to jump out and pull the boat to the bank.It is suggested that a safety net be strung across the river to assist first timers/ novices to reach the river bank with ease.The float was a memorable experience. The owners, Myron and Ann were extremely warm and everwilling to render us any kind of assistance that we needed.Infact ,they showed up at every place where we were, just to ensure that our visit went off perfectly.They certainly took great care of us and no wonder that the entire ROLF complex is in great shape. Overall ,we had an awesome trip. …

Myron and Ann were so friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the White Oak cabin, and loved it! The cabin had a gorgeous view of the river, and an amazing covered porch with a porch swing. It has everything you need to cook your meals, and it's so beautiful and cozy! We will definitely stay again!

Awesome treetop hideaway cabin, secluded and very beautiful setting next to the North Fork River. ROLF is the perfect getaway from the hassle of big cities. The cabins have a full kitchen set-up, comfortable king size beds, and if you choose a jacuzzi for those romantic nights. And a generous back deck to sit and watch the river and wildlife, or plan a day of floating down the river. I had never been able to float down a river before, however I found this river easy to use a canoe for the float trip. Many thanks to Ann and Myron for this wonderful and peaceful experience! They are very gracious hosts of their awe inspiring Ozark hideaway!

We visited Missouri with friends on our quest to see all 50 states. Everything about our visit to ROLF was perfect. The treehouse was delightful - beautifully maintained, amazing layout, clean, and stocked with the essentials needed to cook inside and outdoors. Owners Myron and Ann are true gems. If you need anything, they are there to help make your stay a relaxing one. They also provide opportunities for the right amount of adventure - tubing, rafting, kayaking/canoeing, fishing, hiking... all that the Ozarks have to offer. You can easily visit the lovely sites of Grand Gulf State Park and cross into Arkansas to see Mammoth Spring Falls. At night, you can grab some reasonably priced wood from the on-site general store and enjoy the stars by an outdoor fire. Don’t miss this little piece of Heaven!…

This 4 day adventure is one that I wish I could give to everyone that I care and love! What a wonderful gift it was to be sent here for my birthday! This was the best way to relax and unwind and get away for the craziness of busy city life! Yes its very remote and in the true hills of the Ozarks with dirt roads, rolling beautiful hills trees, wildlife, and most of all scenery with the river that looked like a tranquil painting! We stayed in the Hideaway and it was beyond beautiful and perfect! We tried the canoe floating trip for the 7 mile float and loved it! We had never ever floated before and did just great! My husband and I loved it so much we went back and did it again the next day for another 7 miles! If your searching for a quiet and peaceful place to go then this is your place! The owners treated us like family and were extremely caring and kind too! We will be back!!!…
