moderate to difficult hike:
The Compton Trail-head/Hemmed-in-Hollow: is only 1 mile down the road towards
Ponca from the cabin. This is about a 5 mile hike round trip. This is a beautiful hike that
ends at Hemmed-in-Hollow which is the tallest waterfall between the Rockies and
Appalachian Mountains! It is definitely worth visiting! I will preface this by saying that it is
about a 2.5 mile hike all down hill into Hemmed-in-Hollow which means 2.5 miles back
up hill to get back to the trail-head. So it is a bit more strenuous of a hike. Plan for 4-5
hours of hiking to complete the hike. Make sure to pack plenty of water and snacks!
Here is a picture of the reward at the end of the hike in!

Extremely easy hike
Twin Falls trail--This trail is a short 70 yard hike from the trail head. The end result is 2
amazing waterfalls. If there has been enough rain, then you may see 3! This is a very
easy hike to the falls however the road to get to it can be a bit treacherous. I do not
recommend this unless you are in an All wheel drive or 4WD vehicle as the drive in is
down a steep dirt/gravel/bumpy road.

At one point Branson was known as "Little Nashville." Although some of the more famous personas have either moved away or passed away, this town is a fun place to go for a live show or a good meal. You can even go the the old time Ozarks themed
amusement park Silver Dollar City or check out the outlet malls for some shopping.
Branson is a little less than an hour away from The Hideaway just over the Arkansas/Missouri border.
