    Guest Access:

    Guests have access to the entire cabin, but not all surrounding property. Please note that the nearby buildings are under final construction, so they are off limits. Access to the pond can be granted with owner prior approval. The property is adjacent to the National Forest so plenty of walking and hiking trails.

    Other Things to Note:

    Please note that once you drive through the gate, you will need to continue to follow the path and go straight past the pond. The buildings seen on the left are currently under construction as a private home and are off limits during your stay.



    Also, the cabin is surrounded by the national forest. There are tics, chiggers and other bugs in the forest. It is important to ensure that you bring what you need to remain safe from them and fly enjoy your stay. We ensure we maintain pest control in the cabin but the forest is the forest.

This is definitely a cozy cabin in the woods. Very private and relaxing on the porch. We enjoyed the comfortable bed and sofa. The egg shaped porch swings are cool! It's just a short trip to Lake Hamilton or Lake Ouachita and it's an easy drive to Hot Springs for a day trip. The host is easily accessible and responsive. We are glad we stayed there.

Out In the Woods

Absolutely wonderful! We wanted a private place to stay that was dog friendly and close to where we needed our base to be. The cabin was very nice, we enjoyed ourselves and hopefully we can return again.

Very Private Cabin

We enjoyed our stay in this very private cabin. The weather didn't cooperate. It rained every day and the power went off a couple times for several hours. No fault of the owner but this was the only negatives.
