The space This little depot was once the heart of a popular roadside attraction. The "Iron Mountain Miniature Railroad" was the dream of James and Shirley Barker. The little train brought joy and great memories to children and their families as it traveled its scenic route. The ride started and ended at the depot where ice cream and other goodies were enjoyed. In time, the train and its rails were moved from this location. James moved on to become an engineer for the Arkansas Midland Railroad. This renovated depot has become a quaint guest house. A walking trail follows the route the little train once traveled. A comment we hear often is that guests wish they had more time here. Recommend booking at least two days to immerse oneself into the environment. Guest access Access to six acre walking trail. Property borders a small horse ranch. Walking trail overlooks a lovely lake. You are welcome to observe, but not enter. The lake does not belong to us. We are only two miles from the lower lake which provides excellent fishing opportunities. The beach is just two miles north of us, on Lake DeGray. Other things to note We pride ourselves in providing a nice, relaxing sanctuary as-well-as a destination where "your vacation dreams come true". We hope that you will take advantage of the out-of-doors. We have a checkerboard on the picnic table, a horse shoe pit and secure area for a small campfire. Bring hot dogs and s'more fixin's. We also provide an outdoor grill. We do not allow pets or smoking inside premises, due to guests with allergies.
