Cabins / Cottages
Some call them cabins. Some call them cottages. Either way they are exceptionally clean full housekeeping units. All of our cabins / cottages have been recently renovated. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with a full size refrigerator, a full size 4 burner gas range with oven, microwave, pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. A bath with shower, color TV with remote, free wireless internet access, bed and bath linens, and cement patio with picnic table, a Weber BBQ kettle, and lawn chairs complete our cabin amenities. For your comfort, all units are air conditioned and heated. Our studio cabin sleeps 3, our one bedroom cabins sleep up to 6, and our two bedroom cabins sleep up to 9 persons. A padded stall for your boat is included free with each cabin rental. All you need to bring is food and your beach towels.

Pets Are Welcome at Hand Cove Resort
We are animal lovers and have a dog of our own, so we know how important it is to be able to bring your pets. Some of our cabins have been set aside for guests with pets. Dogs and cats are welcome with advance notice. Please let us know about your pet at the time you make your reservation. We have special areas of our grounds to walk and exercise your pet. As a courtesy to our other guests, please keep your pet attended to at all times and on a leash when outside of your cabin or RV. You are responsible for any damage caused by your pet.

Dock & Lake Access
At Hand Cove Resort and RV Park, you'll enjoy fast and easy lake access. You can fish or swim from either our swim deck or from shore. There are several good bank fishing spots, and there are great places to swim in the lake. Feel like a morning hike? Then explore part of the 550 miles of primitive shoreline of Norfork Lake. The lake shore, along with our grounds offers an abundance of native plants and wildlife. If you are not a hiker, then do your exploring, fishing, swimming, or tubing from the comfort and convenience of one of our rental boats. Whether you are a cabin or RV guest, our rental boats will carry you to all of the best Norfork Lake has to offer.

Bringing your own boat? Just back it into the water on the hard surface launch ramp next to our dock, pull your vehicle out, and either park in our large parking area at the launch, or near your cabin or RV and walk the short distance back to our dock. If you like to trailer your boat each day when coming off the lake, you will enjoy our launch and parking. If you want to leave your boat in the water, we have plenty of dock stalls.

Boat Dock In A Protected Cove
Our private covered illuminated 11 stall boat dock is located a short distance from the main lake channel in a protected cove. You will sleep well each night knowing that your boat is safe and secure from the elements. Each stall is padded with carpeting, is well lit, and has electrical outlets to power your battery chargers and other equipment. Our new well lit fish cleaning station has electric outlets and running water.

The boat dock can be seen easily from most of our resort cabins. With the resort's boat dock so close to the launch ramp, it is easy to launch and dock your boat. Easily load coolers, food, fishing gear, water toys, and then head out to the fun you want to have on the lake.

Two full service marinas are a short boat ride away. They offer fuel sales, fishing guide services, stores selling fishing tackle, bait, snacks, ice, etc., and full service marine repairs.

Activities
Scuba Diving - This area of Norfork Lake is famous for scuba diving. Jordan Marina, 1/2 mile away by water, has a PADI certified scuba shop with equipment sales, air, service and rentals. They also have maps detailing locations of 29 underwater attractions that are nearby. The underwater visibility is excellent for scuba diving which also makes for good spear fishing. Ask us about a dive site map detailing locations of 29 underwater attractions that are nearby.

Fishing - Our area of the lake has some of the best fishing Norfork Lake offers. The lake supports largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky, white, and striped bass, crappie and walleye, blue, channel, and flathead catfish, and bream (bluegill, red ear, sunfish). Stripers typically run 6 to 10 pounds. Stripers and catfish over 25 pounds are not unusual, and 3 to 5 pound bass are relatively common. The kids love catching crappie and bluegill from the dock. We have charcoal smokers and a propane fish fryer for your free use. We also sell Arkansas fishing licenses

Area Attractions - Mountain Home, AR is about 30 minutes from the resort. Mountain Home has many restaurants, movie theaters, two 18 hole golf courses, churches, bowling, miniature golf, horseback riding, antique and craft shopping. The resort is a convenient base camp for day trips. Many of our guests enjoy exploring Blanchard Springs Caverns, The Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Old Hardy Town, Branson, MO for music shows and Silver Dollar City theme park.
