Hello!

We are so excited to share our little piece of heaven on the beautiful White River! We were both born and raised right here in the Ozarks enjoying the rivers and lakes with our families.  Like so many, we moved away for our careers and raised our children in central Arkansas. We would return on weekends to our beautiful Ozarks where the worries of the world would melt away but it always felt like we were going the wrong direction when it was time to return home. 

Matt spent over 25 years in a stressful corporate environment when our world was changed forever in 2017 with Matt's diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. It was time to evaluate our lifestyle and what we wanted for ourselves, our children, and grandchildren. We had always dreamed of someday owning a home on the White River but the time never seemed right. With the flexibility of Stacy's job, we decided to stop dreaming, stop saying someday, and trust that God had a plan for our future and purchased the lodge in July of 2020. 

We hope you enjoy The Shoals White River Retreat as much as we do. Slow down, feed your soul and enjoy all the White River and Ozark Mountains has to offer...after all the river is calling! - Matt & Stacy
