The Horticulturalist

Hey y'all,

We have a weeks vacation coming up for Spring Break and are looking for a getaway for us and our two boys, 8 and 6. The Ozark National Forest is 7hrs from where we live which is about as far as we want to drive for this trip.

Can you recommend a nice, non- touristy place to stay near there that's not overly touristy? We would like to explore state parks, mountains etc.

Thanks
