Looking for a rural location that offers peace and quiet?  We have a 1,760 sq ft newer farm-house style home on 6 acres, surrounded on 3 sides by a 150 acre pasture.   The main purpose here is just providing a presence for security, care for two inside cats, one indoor/outdoor cat, and  6 chickens .     Plants need to be watered, indoors and on porch, possibly the vegetable garden if not raining much.     If its harvest time for anything we may ask that you collect and put in freezer.  We ask that the housesitter return the home in the same clean condition as  upon your arrival.                                        

We are located in the foothills of North Central Arkansas. There are  nice rivers and  lakes to canoe, kayak ,fish etc.  The  White River and the Spring River.  Buffalo National Scenic River is a 1.5 hr drive away . Crown Lake is only 7 miles away , sandy beach/boat rentals.  Norfolk,a large resevoir lake is a 45 min drive.  There are 2 Golf courses within 8 miles, one rated Best Public course in AR the  last 3yrs.

Interesting small towns dot the area.  Mountain View-Folk Music Capitol of the World-Ozark Folk Center/concerts, music on the square/antiques. Calico Rock is an interesting small town on the White River.  Blanchard Caverns/Springs, Sylalmore Creek for a dip,  Mirror Lake to fish for Rainbow Trout(no boat needed), and hiking trails in the Ozark National Forest. 

     We would prefer a retired non-smoking couple, owns a home(or did), financially stable and  is just looking for new areas to experience.  Must have verifiable housesitting ref's/testimonials on this or another sitter site.   Must be able and willing to follow our written instructions that we leave .  We would go over these beforehand if you are interested in this sit.  We are also long-time housesitters so we know its important to adhere to an owner's wishes and keep in contact with any problems or just some reassurance that any pets are happy.

There is a small grocery about 7 miles from here.  Walmart is a 15 miles drive.  This is very rural, so someone has to be comfortable with that.  If you want any night-life this isnt it.  There are a few decent restaurants within 15 miles.

Right now our dates are somewhat flexible.  Would be nice if the sitter was flexible with the end date especially but if not we will settle on concrete dates.  It will be July 21st-ish to mid-Septish.
