Happy Hollow Farm is a historic house at 2099 Aqua Crossing in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is a large single-story log house, shaped in an H, with a broad flared hip roof. The logs are stacked and held in place with spikes, rather than being notched at the corners. The property also includes a small log milk house and a stone cottage, all contemporaneous to the house's 1909-10 construction. The house was built by writer William Rheen Lighton, who made a reputation writing for major periodicals including the Saturday Evening Post, and published several novels and non-fiction books, including one named Happy Hollow Farm that romanticized life on an Arkansas farm.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
