Mahan's "HomeAgain" Is our families historic home built in the early 1900âs. Purchased in 1958 for $11,000. There was a barn & outbuildings that were soon filled with animals plus a large garden! We milked a few cows, had pigs & chickens. A building sat in the field on the right of the house that Dad remodeled into a 1 bedroom rental. The highway changed from a 2 lane into a 5 lane as it is today. The little house was taken but our home remained on the back edge of the property . The spacious front yard is much the same, the beautiful flowering bushes & flowers were here when we made it our home! When you sit on the porch swing watching the clouds you could be ready for a nap, make homemade ice cream or fill up on a sweet juicy Cave City Watermelon! Dad made several tiny rooms in to larger ones, creating the large living, dinning, kitchen & master bedroom. The garage, bunk-room & front porch were added after he retired! They now had more space for entertaining family & friends. Our Home was the Holiday Destination! Mother was an amazing cook so Dad built an abundance of cabinets! You will enjoy our comfy house with sleeping room for 10. There is a full pantry with washer & dryer. Two full bathrooms & 2 bedrooms, plus the bunkroom that sleeps 6. The bunk-room has 2 large bunkbeds with double bed on bottom and single on top. The relaxing Master bedroom is complete with an adjoining bath & kingsize iron bed. Large closets for all of your extra fishing & water sports gear. A seating space for reading or conversation. The front bedroom (aka Ricky's bedroom) has a double bed & chair plus small dresser & closet. Larger doorways have been widened for a clear view as well as making the main area wheelchair friendly. This Beautifully redecorated open-concept space has recently been restored with wide openings for wheelchair accessibility. The front entrance to the front porch has a wheelchair ramp. Enjoy all that the Gassville & Mtn Home area has to offer when you stay in our Country Home. You will be 15 minutes to White River & 12 minutes to Buffalo River, for world renowned recreation. White River is Trout Capital of the world. In addition Lakes Bull Shoals & Norfolk await for swimming, boating & fishing. Bring your boat or canoe & rest easy because you have room for parking on the almost 3 acres of land with the house.
Our home has been updated & refreshed with all conveniences. A perfect retreat for the budget minded family. Children & dogs are welcomed. Our family has had scores of guests with hundreds of meals since 1958! We love our home & hope you will too!
