    Perfect short hike to the falls. We stayed at JFK Campground and took our dogs, (on leash) for a hike to see the falls. This is a beautiful area, shaded, well maintained, and an easy hike with a beautiful reward of the gorgeous falls.

    The museum is ran by Wayne and it was special to hear the family heritage and how the museum became a reality. He teaches about trains, character building and believing in dreams and hard work. You could hear the imagination from his childhood alive and well still to this day. I would not go into this area and miss this stop. You will not regret it. My kids loved the stories and enjoyed asking questions and seeing the wonder of this museum. What more can this father say? Just go.

    My friend and I started going to sandy beach this past summer and we found it very relaxing. It was busy towards the weekend but we never felt like we were in someone else’s space. There were times that we would find a bottle floating in the lake or a plastic bag but it was always decent.indtead of laying out on the beach we got some wide quilted float mats and it was so much fun we went almost every day. We never felt like someone was going to steal our belongings or rob our car it was family friendly. I would like to add the lake bottom shifts and may drop off so please always wear floaters or life vest or at least have a floating mat because we watched many people let the kids go and they don’t realize how deep it is. Floats are a must for safety.So come to Heber Springs and enjoy the beach there are restrooms and showers.we got the best tan this year ever ,see you there

    Beautiful falls and platform but if you are adventurous, take the “sort of” trail along the creek to the falls... be forewarned that the hike back UP is difficult! Especially if you are climbing “challenged”! In my case, at 75, I should have stayed on the platform!!

    Nice hike! When I read the elevation and distance, I wasn't a bit concerned. Living near a higher mountain, we take our dogs on hikes often. BE READY, it is straight up! Great hike though!

    Great ship with lots of inventory. Staff was exceptionally helpful. My husband found 2 chairs that he liked and asked if they had anymore. The answer was yes but they were off the property. They called and had them there within 10 minutes. Also found a really neat piece of pottery. We were on vacation and ended up with a nice haul. Great place to check out

    The host guy had a bit of an attitude when he sat us but the food was great at a great price!! Our waitress was super sweet (which I got her name) but she was dark haired and the daughter of one of the ladies. Wish I lived closer so I could come back more often!

    The lady at the lodge we were staying at recommended we check this place out. The Ellen was not in at the time but the lady there was very helpful. Loved the Santa paintings. It was neat to hear how she will do custom paintings and how she customized them. There were also other works of art done by other artists in the gallery as well.

    Visit Heber sew -&-Vac if you want to meet great people and see wonderful sewing machine and beautiful fabrics. I really liked this place the first time I walked in 6years ago ,however now I’m totally in love !
    I purchased my Janome 634d serger and my janome 6600 approx six years ago and have really put them both to the test , creating over 65 quilts , countless mending , dozens of dresses for Children in Haiti , and dozens of care caps for Carti . Needless to say - neither machine left my sewing room until last week.
    I had to take the serger in for diagnosis and repair - I knew I was to blame for its problems - because I tried to force heavy quilted layers thru it . In doing so I damaged some critical parts . Dan was pretty sure it would require parts and so was I. So I left the repair to the experts and went on to drooling 🤤 over the other machines and the Gorgeous fabrics - I’m so “hooked” !
    Jan offered to demonstrate the self threading serger and I got to “give it a whirl” as well . I’m impressed !
    Dan even allowed me to take home a loaner while my serger was being repaired . That saved the day for me , since I really needed to finish a gift project !
    Dan called me yesterday and said my serger is ready!
    And inquired whether or not I wanted the machine cleaned and serviced , which I desperately wanted him to do .
    Today I went back and picked up my serger!
    Dan showed me photos of the piles of “stuff” he removed from my machine. OMG. 😱.
    I knew six years abundant use was really pushing the limit!

    I swear there was enough “fluff”in there to insulate a few pot holders .
    And I always clean my machines once a week or more with the usual cans of electronic duster . I knew it wasn’t getting all of it - but I had no idea it could pack into so many places. I’m surprised it even worked at all!
    The repair bill was exceptionally reasonable !
    I Got my wonderful serger back -&
    I fell in love with the Janome 15000on this trip !

    Dan and Jan are super nice folks
    The store is always clean and well stoked and
    What more could a devoted Janome lover want ?🤔

    Thank Dan and Jan
    I’ll be back !
