Take a picture of this: your whole family spread out in one big room! (If this gives you the cold chills, skip to bottom of page.) The littles will be bouncing from guitar hero with their siblings to jigsaw puzzles with the crazy aunts to reading a book sitting in grandma’s lap to chasing each […]
About The Cabins
Cleanliness is next to…
Cleanliness is next to Ossumness! Our guests always rank cleanliness at the very top of the scale on the exit surveys— something we are very proud of and work hard to ensure. Actually, now that I add them up, it is easily the highest-rated category. Looks like we need to work on signs, and we […]
Speed Puddles
Puddles. I hope this is my nickname in my old age. I was talking to a guest and he was going on about what a great area the Gorge is, how much he liked the cabins, how private and peaceful it was, and how great restaurants in Fayetteville were. And then he asked, “Why don’t […]
Mowing Grass is Our Least Favorite Chore at Opossum Creek Retreat
I hate to mow! Especially hate it in the spring when all the pretty flowers are coming up. Only two of the cabins really have yards; The Meadows and The Farm House. All the others are in the woods. But even with just two yards, we still have to mow. The Farm House has rich […]

Some Don’t Like Our Name, But We Love It (And Hope You Do Too)
The name of a business is important. Right? It should tell you a lot, with a little. It should give you an idea of what a company does, where it might be and all that good stuff. Some business names are great, some aren’t. Check that. Some belong in the “What the hell where you […]
Building The Perfect Cabin: A Love Story
For some reason, when you say “Cabin”, lots of people still think of the hunting camp. They imagine a stereotype of a cabin. You know, a moldy, dirty shack. Out house only. We still get people asking if we have running water. Even after they’ve seen our brochure or website. I don’t get it. That […]
Secret Stories Of People’s Favorite Cabins
The highest compliment we can receive is a repeat guest. We actually have lots of them. Not bragging or anything. Just saying lots of people come back to Opossum Creek Retreat to stay in their little cabin in the woods. And since that’s what we do, we think it’s a beautiful thing. Some folks come […]
