Sample family reviews
What our families tell us
Dad fished this lake for fifty years. The first morning at Sugarloaf, Brianna had his pole baited before he finished his coffee.
Jolene was Mom's home health nurse years ago. When Mom needed more help, there was only one place we considered.
The Friday crappie fry is worth the drive from Little Rock. I have not missed one in two years.
My grandmother rode the pontoon on her ninety-first birthday. The photo is on every phone in our family.
Tamika calls every Sunday afternoon like clockwork. I never have to wonder.
Mom was so isolated at home. Now she has music night, puzzles and a dock full of friends.
When Dad went on hospice, they moved his bed so he could see the water. That's the kind of people they are.
The grandkids beg to visit. They fish with Grandpa off the dock, and he teaches them everything.
Sixteen residents, and the caregivers know every one of them by their coffee order.
Come see the lake from the dock.
Tours end on the dock with a cup of coffee, weather permitting. Call or text Jolene, or pick a time below.
