That is one of the nicest abandoned places I've seen. It's a shame they cannot give it to someone in need instead of leaving it to rot. I like the front door...and fireplace.

I would love to live there. That kitchen looks great with those windows.

Arkansas? Lol...time to do a tick check! I've been stuck in Northern Arkansas for 29 years!

I love how you always put 2 and 2 together. "what's all this dust in this room? Oh it must be for the fire place. And" this is olives looks like burnt Cheerios! Lol love it! Thanks for the awesome videos.

it's a......fixer upper

I love the sound those old rotary phones made when the dial went back to it's original position.

I am so happy that you are doing a few videos out of Arkansas!

Place like that, I'd come in with some supplies and a few people, sweep it out, patch it up, and never let anyone else be the wiser. If someone owns it, odds are it'll be mine by the time they go check on it. If it's the government's I doubt they'd object to a free caretaker keeping an unused property from disrepair on private dime. Be a killer place to get away without dealing with ownership obligations, and even if someone owns it and comes back I doubt they'd object to drywall patching, sweeping, and roof repair...

This would be great to renovate and live in. What a nice house.

What a beautiful "house". I wouldn't mind fixing it up and moving right in!

What a beautiful place! I love seeing "clean" places like this. I hate when people vandalize just to do it. This place looks untouched for the most part.

I would live there- 10000% in better shape than almost everywhere else you've gone to. Has that camping feel to it and lots of space!

That's a nice little love shack! The US Forest Service emblem on the wall confirms it used to be a ranger station.

What a beautiful spot! Amazing find!

That old Rotary phone was sheet! Another great video Dan🙂

Great video as usual Dan !

Your videos are so interesting, love it Dan Bell keep it going!!!

So sad this is abandoned looks like a nice house

Your channel reminds me of the old days of tomb raider for the ps1. Lara Croft would go into strange places and it creeped me out playing the games at night. This reminds me of Lara Croft.

BETTER than a Movie - " Nothing Is Ever Easy , Ow , You SOB ( Hurts , Thorns ) " - Dan Bell - LOOOL - TOO FUNNY .. Love It !

wow, i would love to take that over. A bit of work and you have a beautiful ranch type of place-lovely fireplace and decent size..What a shame.

saddly forgotten thanks for the video !

I am creeped out a little bit. I swear I have seen this place before. The room with the podium where you first walk in is clear as day in my head..I am thinking I may have dreamt it. Aside from that, that building is in excellent condition, and would not take too much. to restore it.

This place looks pretty neat, quite surprised how intact it is 👍

beautiful area and i agree with most this would be a nice home. even looks like you could vault the ceilings based on that hole in the kitchen ceiling.

you always find the neatest places!

I think your trying to fool us on this one Dan, The road is right beside this, with a car park (by the looks of it) and your fighting your way through the undergrowth. I think William was correct in his comment 'couldn't just go round the other way' he he he, Keep up the great work, I'm enjoying these 'Film It' ones as much as the main videos.

Very interesting video, Dan.

Where do you find these places?? Amazing - Keep up the great work Dan

That is such a nice house. If it was fixed up, that would bring about $100,000 in some areas.

The phone with the cobwebs on it! :) Seems like it had a nice enough layout...

4;30 OMG THAT ROOM LOOKS LIKE THE ROOM WHERE THE I FEEL FANTASTIC VIDEO WAS FILMED !!!!

It's obviously not been abandoned for long. Probably used every summer as a fire watch or something. thank for video Mr. Bell.

Hard wood floors this is absolutely beautiful, I wanna live at the ranger station.

wow,that must have been a nice home at one time.cool video

Since there's a highway right next to the place, I'm guessing it was a tourist information center. The rotary phone dates it from the late 1960 to early 1970s. That's plenty of time for all those trees to have grown up between the building and the highway. There's probably a parking lot buried under the grass between the building and the road, too. The public drinking fountain at 2:44 and the stove exhaust hood at 3:13 are clues, too. This place used to be open to the public. They may have prepared hot food, as well.

Despite the debris, I have to say I love it!

Looking forward to more Arkansas videos! Dogpatch USA would be a good spot for exploring I bet, if they haven't already cleaned it up too much.

Wow it's huge! It could be so nice with a bit of repair and TLC, what a shame it's sitting empty.

Oooh the Ozarks are a creepy place. Have you ever seen Winter's Bone? Lol

There seems to be a consistent issue with a clicking sound on your videos. I hardly notice, but it makes my cats jump. Don't get me wrong, I love these videos!

Looks pretty cozy

I love those dark wooden walls.

Come to Springfield Missouri and explore

Nice job dan bell

Some should move in there and start fixing it up , I think after what 7 years its yours

This was most likely Central Arkansas. Logging is big business. Not many pines in northern/ northwest Arkansas. Maybe hwy 7 south toward Hot Springs. Those phones were used well into the 90s in rural Arkansas. I had a party line and rotary in 1992!

I wish I could snag that desk and refinish it. It's perfect for a gamer, my sweetie has one.

if i were stranded i would fix that place up and make it cozy as hell

Very cool! Tfs!

I love all your videos by the way, always get likes from me😁😊👍👍👍

We have multiple abandoned places in my town (a old college, a motel and a hotel)

That's Arkansas alright

i live here. could you possibly tell me what town this is in? i am embarking on a new project of taking pictures of old buildings on the outside. thanks for any help you can give.

the floors are beautiful

Some day I’m gonna come across a video like this from someone who finds my cabin in the woods lol. I’ve been doing it for 8 years and as far as I know nobody has found it. Great fun just don’t leave trash behind. I’m not sure what kind of trouble I could get in it is miles on the forest on state land but it is out of the National park areas. Hopefully if someone does find it they will see I worked very hard to not be disrespectful.

It looked like they had maps there. Did you look at them?

Oh, you shouldn't have given its location; now, some jerks will try to find it so that they can trash it. Frankly, it was in great condition, and if I had the money, I'd be tempted to make a bid on it. (I am so happy to see a disused building that has actually been left alone, and is not is a ruinous state; thanks for including one in your travels.)

Where in AR was this? You should go to Eureka Springs, AR.

Have you been around the Gaston, Arkansas area?

needs to be restored

did you check if still power is on?^^

What kind of camera do you use?!

That stove is awesome.

I would buy it in a heart beat.

^^ dan does your friend post the photos he takes? i'd love to see them :) you never shout out his stuff

That totally reminds me of exploring the cabins in the NES game "Friday the 13th".

You can hear traffic... lol, BIG trip

Prob a cozy place in the winter time🙂

That is why I carry snips while I hike in the Ozarks....

This could be a beautiful home with little work

I would love to live there,such a pity it's been left to rot.

This could be turned into something nice..hope whoever owns it doesn't just let it sit and rot

hey Dan me and my girlfriend just watched exploring with joshes Chernobyl series of videos, now I love Josh he is a great guy, and those videos where interesting and informative, but all the way through we where bothe saying how cool it would be if you had filmed and edited it, it needed some creepy Soviet music and some nice slow camera shots , you need to get yourself to Russia my friend .

I will not live that far in the woods 😧😧😧no way

According to the phone number on the phone, this was probably in the Plainview area south of Russellville.

That phone is cool!

Probably isn't totally abandoned, I worked as a ranger for quite a few years and we'd have huts like that all over the place many of them wouldn't be used for years at a time.

would be good place to get away for the weekend or deer hunting camp

That looks nothing like I imagined.

This reminds me of "I Spit on Your Grave" and I grew up in the Ozarks lol

This is the World's Greatest Bromance😘

Dan - for us curious fans, can you explain the difference between the This Is Dan Bell and the Film It channels?

Better watch it Dan, I've heard of people walking in Forrest's and getting scratched by something and before you know it, their skin turns black and they are being amputated all over their bodies. please always wear 👖 jeans and 👢 boots. You never know what could jump up and bite you when you least expect it. Just for your safety.

David Paulides Missing 411...could explain what happened to the former tenants/rangers

someone could fix that place up easy; nice little holiday home

It's old alright. A rotary dial phone and wood paneling.

''Build it, and they will come''. lol

where is this at?

what town is this near?

I'd live there except for two words,Big Foot!

Very nice place

Nice movie 👍👌

the storyline... as observed from a fairly inquisitive viewer... 1. complain...about arbor/tree environment...then exalt it... Go trek into the structure... 2. get into domicile/maison... play in it with wonder.. 3.ask..who, what, why, the structure existed... 4. leave the viewer hanging...with unresolved questions... ie. suspense. nuf said... aok.

I'd love to fix it up and live there.

Caught ya,now I know who's getting​ in my dang ranger station!!!!!!

Is that in a state or national park?

"nothing is ever awww" hehe...nice house/office btw..=)

"Nothing is ever....ow. You son of a bitch". LOL!

i have that exact same desk
