We are Ridgecrest Resort, a small, family-operated vacation spot on Bull Shoals Lake at the Howard Creek area (on your Arkansas map, look at the extreme eastern end of the lake, northwest of the town of Mountain Home in Baxter County). Bull Shoals Lake is the larger and lovelier of the “twin lakes” (the other is Norfork Lake, 25 or so miles east of us).
