Brian and Jennifer

I (Jennifer) currently work a full-time job in human resource management. My truest passions have always been simple and boil down to creating a life of joyful day-to-day experiences. I enjoy my home and all that goes along with beautifying and maintaining it. I am a passionate cook and gardener and am learning more and more about sustainable living. It’s been a life-long dream of mine to own and operate a vacation rental business to share with others.

My husband, Brian, is a contractor, entrepreneur, and avid outdoorsman. He is passionate about conservation and improving the land for wildlife. He loves to hunt and fish, kayak, hike, and birdwatch and will wander in the woods for hours! It’s been his dream to share the outdoor experience with others and help people reconnect with nature.

Where We’re Located

Cairn Creek is centrally located for easy access to popular destinations. A short drive to Hot Springs finds shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and the healing waters of the natural hot spring baths and spas.

The area offers popular lakes known for spectacular fishing and water sports. Lakes Ouachita, Greeson, Hamilton, and Catherine are all nearby.

Access to the Ouachita National Forest is literally across the road! And, a short drive to Little Missouri Falls Recreation Area offers a great place for a picnic, hiking, and viewing the waterfalls.

If kayaking, canoeing, or floating the Caddo River is your thing we’ve got you covered. We’re just up the road from two exceptional operations that offer full equipment and convenient access to the river.
