Trimble Creek Lodge return guest Craig and Innkeeper Michael (also known as the Trimble Creek Lodge Outside Guy) had great fun bringing in these gorgeous bass last weekend here on Bull Shoals Lake in the Arkansas Ozarks.

Families at Trimble Creek Lodge

One of the very best things about living here at Trimble Creek Lodge is hosting family reunions. Michael is our resident photographer and has taken many reunion pics of groups with our beautiful Bull Shoals Lake in the background. Although this reunion picture was not taken here, it does include our own kids and a few of our neices and nephews, Easter, 1987. Recognize anyone?

Vacation Home Fun

One of the greatest things about living at this resort style vacation home is seeing some of the joy families experience during their summer getaways. We’ve had our “winter snow” and now we are ready for summer – bring on the homemade ice cream!

Bull Shoals Lake Vacation Home

One of the things we love here at Trimble Creek Lodge is helping our guests feel as if they are nestled away in their own Bull Shoals Lake Vacation Home. Yes, we live here too, but our goal is to help everyone enjoy a distinctive, simple and relaxed vacation – whether they notice us or not! Some include us in meals and celebrations, a few ask for fishing or skiing advice, many enjoy free bread or brownie lessons and most ask us to take a picture like this one to help preserve the memories of fun, friendship and family they created during their stay with us in the Arkansas Ozarks.

Spectacular Views

Spectacular views abound at Trimble Creek Lodge Resort on Bull Shoals Lake. However, every now and then even the Outside Guy (Michael) can take on a heavy, unhealthy, too-much-to-do attitude. Thankfully, when the sun sets and we walk down the lane to”Sunset Point” (between the Meadow House and the Lodge), the beauty of this world is refreshed. Life is so good here in our little piece of heaven that lies nestled in the Ozarks of Arkansas, the Natural State.

Fun on the Lake

One of the very best things we experience here at Trimble Creek Lodge is the beauty of so many families and their joy in building memories together on vacation. When we started this place 10 years ago, “helping families have fun on the lake” was one of our goals somewhere mixed in with “getting a dock” and “paying the mortgage on this place!” We sure didn’t anticipate the richness of experiences we would also enjoy while hosting families here. We thought we would share a few “favorite vacation memories” over the next few weeks. Stay tuned….

Summer Fun on Bull Shoals Lake

Summer Fun on Bull Shoals Lake means timeless days on the water with friends and family. This gorgeous and pristinely clean lake is not crowded and perfect for wakeboarding, skiing and tubing. No need to worry about other boats getting too close to your novice skiers. In fact, you might not even see another boat on a lazy July afternoon. After discovering this natural gem-of-a-lake, our kids (now fully grown-up) won’t ski anywhere else!

Extras at Trimble Creek Lodge

We are happy when our guests notice the extras we offer here at Trimble Creek Lodge. Return guest Tina was so pleased with the fancy kitchen gloves we provide (to help protect those vacation manicures) that she now buys these for her friends. Recently the TCL Outside Guy discovered a new use for these - not exactly the use Lulu intended but the pink does look especially great with TCL Outside Guy’s big smile. Tina, what do you think?

Christmas at Trimble Creek Lodge

Christmas at Trimble Creek Lodge nears. The post-Thanksgiving turkey bones are simmering in the soup pot. The Outside Guy’s most recent venison is in the freezer. Fireplaces are prepared and wood is in the racks. A truckload of Christmas ornaments and decorations have arrived from the barn. Lulu is so happy! A plump cedar tree has been selected from the woods and Big Don’s Eggnog is warming our lips. Life is good as we begin our preparations for Christmas in the Ozarks. If you would like our delightfully wonderful eggnog recipe, let us know via Trimble Creek Lodge Facebook!

Fishing on Bull Shoals in November

3 pound Kentucky Bass Caught by Michael Richardson

It’s deer season in Arkansas but the fish are also biting on Bull Shoals Lake. Trimble Creek Lodge ”Outside Guy,” Michael, caught this 3 pound Kentucky Bass just this week using sliders/soft plastic on an eighth ounce jig while fishing in 25 feet of water. Other fishermen are catching walleye and one guy in particular is having great luck with crappie. Sure wish we could find his crappie bed! Ahhh, life in Arkansas, the Natural State.
