Things to Do at Treat Retreat and Surrounding Areas

At Treat Retreat, adventure and relaxation blend seamlessly amidst the natural beauty of the Ozark National Forest. Here’s a curated list of activities to enhance your stay:

Off-Roading Adventures

Bring your ATV, UTV, Side x Side, Jeep, or truck and explore the extensive trails right from your cabin doorstep. The nearby Moccasin Gap Trail offers over 30 miles of moderately challenging marked trails, loops, and water crossings, ensuring an exhilarating off-roading experience.

Water Activities

Just 8 miles away, immerse yourself in water adventures:

Canoeing, Kayaking, and Rafting: Navigate the pristine waters of Big Piney Creek with rentals from a local outfitter.
Fishing: Cast a line in Long Pool Recreation Area, home to species like smallmouth bass and channel catfish.

Hiking and Nature Exploration

Discover the natural wonders of the area:

Long Pool Falls: A picturesque waterfall within the Long Pool Recreation Area, perfect for a serene hike.
Maidenhair Falls: A hidden gem offering a tranquil setting for nature enthusiasts.

Hunting

The Ozark National Forest provides ample opportunities for hunting various game species. Ensure you have the appropriate permits and are aware of seasonal regulations before embarking on your hunting adventure.

Local Attractions

Car Wash Falls: Car Wash Falls got its name because it’s the only waterfall you can drive through and under but you’ll need a Jeep, 4×4, or ATV to get to the falls. Car Wash Falls is like a car wash out in the middle of nowhere. And remember, bigger rain means bigger
waterfall.

Dover Lights: The Dover Lights are a phenomenon that even to this day remains a mystery. The legend stretches back to a period before electricity, a fact that seems to fly in the face of the skeptic’s claims. While the lights themselves are baffling, part of the mystery is deciding which story regarding the origins of the lights are true.

Ozark Mountain ATV Rentals: Local outfitter that delivers to our location.

Hillbilly Slims: Local restaurant offering hometown food and are ATV friendly.

Amazing! Cabin was perfectly comfortable for what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Loved just sitting by the creek. I call it my "mush" place. The location is nice and quiet. Laury made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel so welcome. Enjoyed visiting with Mike and Laury and wished we had more time to visit with them. Will definitely be back!

Excellent Hosts!! Mike & Laury were exceptional hosts who felt more like family than hosts, they were very accommodating. They went above and beyond to see that we were taken care of. We felt blessed to get to enjoy their little piece of Heaven. This was our first experience to ride trails and their rental is so close to all the hot spots. Their rental sits on the banks of the sweetest little brook and getting to just sit and relax beside it was perfect. We do hope to come back soon. This little cabin will not disappoint.
