-The property has multiple campsites, rv slots and vacation rentals. Each is intentionally spaced to provide maximum privacy but be aware there may be other groups on the property during your stay.

-We do everything in our power to ensure a peaceful and relaxing environment at Sparrow Bend, and it is just that 99% of the time, but there are occasionally factors outside our control such as neighbor's music or neighborhood dogs barking.

-On occasion, folks along the river will play music and it can be a nuisance. If you happen to be there on one of those days, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reach out to resolve the situation as best we can. At the end of the day it is a river/lake property, as well as outside an city ordinances, so our hands are tied to a certain degree, but we will do everything in our power to resolve the issue.

We have always dreamed of hosting a place for families and friends to come and enjoy nature but we would have never dreamed of finding a property as unique and beautiful as this. A lake when the water is high, a beautiful river when the waters low. All crowned by a majestic limestone bluff, complete with cave and endless room for adventures.
This land was once a part of a wagon trail along the river and you can still find arrowheads along the paths, if you're lucky.
