Herbhome Farm And Hostel

Herbhome is a small farm just SW of Parthenon Arkansas. We back on the Ozark National Forest and are central to some really great hiking and canoe spots. We offer 3 airey platform tents that can sleep 6 in sleeping bags, or we usually have 4 mattresses in each tent.

We now have a hot shower- it is wood heated so is NOT instant! But it is great to finally have hot water....
We have animals everywhere- you may wake up to the coonhound howling, or owl hooting over head during mating season- an occasional visit from our local black bear happens as well. During summer, we swim in the Creek to cool off.

We are just an oldfashioned Mom and Pop place-while you are here you are part of the family- you share family style meals- get to hear all the tale tales that we can tell- and if our schedule allows , we are glad to guide hikes in our area.
