Other things to note Nestled in the mountains Native Americans called home, Blake's Place is 1,000 ft above the small town of Marshall once the strawberry capital of Arkansas. Branson is only a 1 1/2 hour drive to see a show or explore the many flea markets for antiquing. Mountain View is only an hour away with all kinds of art and folk music. Maybe you would like to take a float trip down the scenic Buffalo River , the nation's first national river, with its pure water and beautiful cliffs. Marshall is also home to the only drive-in theater in Arkansas. You can use the basement which is set up for art to relax your mind and body. We spend much of our time searching for peace, beauty and rest. Blake's place is that place. God tells us to be still and know he is Lord. Rest a day or longer to unwind from life. Our wish is that you leave with greater peace of mind than when you came. Hope to see you soon.
