Our eight Lake Norfork cabins are clean, comfortable, up-to date, and affordable for the average family! The Wagon Wheel Resort offers breathtaking Arkansas Ozark Mountains and Norfork lake views from most of our cabins, our pavilion, and our back yard! Here, you will find the perfect combination of a deep-rooted domain with modern luxuries, presenting a charm unlike anything you might get in a standard vacation rental!
We are conveniently located on AR Highway 101 so you won’t have to drive your boat down a gravel road. We are also a quick 7 miles outside of Mountain Home, where you can enjoy shopping, dining and down home entertainment. At the Wagon Wheel, guests can relax, take in the beauty of nature, enjoy wildlife from your screened porch or read a book on a hammock. And for those who prefer more action, take advantage of our outdoor recreation activities, hike through nearby park trails or drive or walk down to the lake to fish or play on our dock!
Whether you are coming to relax or to be active, you will enjoy a perfect combination of past and present, relaxation and action, privacy and community, togetherness or alone time! Breathe in the fresh air; see nature in it’s fullest beauty; unplug from your day-to-day routine; wake for a lake sunrise; enjoy quality time with your people! Our million dollar view comes without the million dollar price tag, but with million dollar satisfaction!
A Bit of Our History
Wagon Wheel Resort has been a landmark on Lake Norfork for over 70 years. Beginning as Winn’s Lodge and Cabins in the 1950’s, bits of our property here and there remind us of what once was! The door of Cabin 7 was original to the cabin, by way of a photo from 1955. The photo also shows a chair that still sits on Cabin 3’s porch. A wood burning outdoor grill still remains or you can observe the Arkansas stone wall in Cabin 5.
The Wagon Wheel Resort would have also been the nearest cabin resort to the Lake Norfork ferry. The ferry crossed from Bidwell Point Park to Panther Bay Park into Mountain Home, Arkansas, before the 101 bridge was built in 1982.

Your Hosts
Hi there! We are Jenni and Jared and we relocated here from the Chicago suburbs in the Fall of 2013. Jared had vacationed on the lake as a kid, while Jenni knew little about the area. Jared wanted to utilize his property maintenance/construction background for self-employment and this is where we landed! One year after spontaneously taking over the Wagon Wheel, we welcomed a New Year’s day baby. A few years later, we added a little handyman, completing our Wagon Wheel family.
Jenni currently runs the resort and raises the kids, while Jared runs his home inspection business and contracts for his construction business. Both of us actively volunteer in various community organizations. The freedom for the kids to play in nature and grow up developing a strong work ethic makes all of the hard work worth it! And we sure can’t beat the view from our “office”.
