GETTING TO IRON HORSE LODGE
Iron Horse Lodge offers true Ozark seclusion and is accessed via a scenic, winding, unpaved county road through the mountains.

The 1.25-mile county road has several short, steep sections, and conditions can vary with weather and county maintenance. You may encounter loose gravel, rocks, washboarding or ruts. Prolonged dry weather can create particularly loose and dusty conditions, while heavy rain can result in mud, ruts or erosion.

AWD/4WD is strongly recommended, particularly during prolonged dry conditions, heavy rain, snow or ice. Low-clearance vehicles are not recommended.

When traveling uphill, maintain steady momentum and avoid stopping on the steeper sections. There is no need to drive fast—we generally travel around 10–15 mph uphill at a steady, controlled pace and use a lower gear when appropriate.

For your first trip to the lodge, we strongly recommend arriving during daylight hours. When descending, drive slowly and allow plenty of room for braking.

The road is regularly traveled by residents and guests, but this is genuine rural mountain access. Please plan accordingly and choose a vehicle appropriate for the conditions.

Once you arrive, you'll understand why the drive is worth it: privacy, nature, mountain views and true Ozark seclusion.

THE DEN / THEATER ROOM

The den is our dedicated theater room, complete with a projector, 10-foot projection screen, and Klipsch sound bar. Every TV at the lodge is a Roku TV in guest mode, allowing you to sign into your own streaming services.

A large modular sectional with multiple seats and ottomans provides plenty of room for movie nights, along with a giant Big Joe bean bag that’s perfect for relaxing with a book while enjoying the scenic views through the large windows.

DINING ROOM

The dining room flows directly into the kitchen, living room, and den, keeping everyone connected while meals are being prepared.

• Main dining table seats up to 12
• Additional table for games, puzzles, cards, or extra seating
• Additional chairs, high chair and toddler boosters available

LIVING ROOM

The spacious living room is the central gathering hub of the lodge. Dramatic vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, a beautiful stone fireplace featuring our handmade welded elk head, two tufted sofas, additional seating, and a game/dining table make this a favorite gathering space.

The unique motorcycle coffee and tea bar adds a little Iron Horse personality to the room.

KITCHEN

The kitchen is fully stocked for large-group cooking and entertaining, including:

• Refrigerator/freezer and double ovens
• Stovetop and large microwave
• Air fryer, Crock-Pot and Instant Pot
• Pots, pans, woks and cooking utensils
• Dishes, serving pieces and children’s dishes
• Baking supplies, pizza pans and cutting boards
• Storage containers, strainers and salad spinner
• Seasonings and basic cooking/baking staples

Grab your groceries on the way to the lodge and you’ll be ready to cook!

THE LOFT

The upper-level loft provides a third living and gathering space with a children’s table and chairs, coloring supplies, desk/workspace, Roku TV and two small sofas.

For large groups, having three separate gathering spaces makes a huge difference. Kids can watch a show, color, or play in the loft while adults relax in the living room or watch a movie in the den.

THE PATIO & OUTDOOR SPACE

The large covered patio extends the full length of the lodge and includes:

• Two dining tables accommodating up to 12
• Gas grill and griddle
• Oversized rocking chair
• Two mounted fans
• String lights
• Retractable child-safety gate

The covered patio flows directly onto the concrete patio and outdoor recreation area where you’ll find the pool, hot tub and fire pit.

THE POOL

Our large swimming pool is a rare amenity for such a secluded, wooded mountain property. The pool is approximately 36 feet long and 17 feet wide, with depths ranging from approximately 3 feet to 8 feet.

POOL SEASON: MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER

The pool area is surrounded by a fence, and the patio has a retractable child-safety gate. Lounge chairs make it easy to relax nearby while keeping an eye on swimmers.

Pool amenities include inflatables, beach towels, outdoor cushions, lounge chairs and a Bluetooth speaker.

Because the lodge is surrounded by woods, leaves, dirt and other natural debris can occasionally find their way into the pool—and you may even meet one of our woodland visitors, most likely a frog! We do our best to keep the pool clean and maintained throughout the season.

Please remember that children should always be supervised around the pool.

HOT TUB

The hot tub is available year-round and accommodates up to 7 guests. A solar-lit towel rack is available for hanging towels while enjoying the hot tub.

Please replace the hot tub cover securely after use, particularly because the lodge’s mountain location can experience strong winds.

FIRE PIT

The propane fire pit is located near the pool and hot tub and is a wonderful place to gather in the evening. An additional propane tank is available should the fire pit or grill/griddle run out during your stay.

GARAGE & RECREATION

The garage is packed with things to make your stay easier and more fun, including:

• Additional refrigerator/freezer
• Extra dining chairs and high chair
• Learning tower and toddler boosters
• Pool inflatables and water guns
• Toys and Bluetooth speaker
• Ping pong, pickleball and croquet
• Outdoor seating and cushions
• Beach towels and grilling supplies
• Compressor for inflatables

COMING IN 2027: A dedicated game room directly above the garage and a larger natural fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs!
