Location: Pineville, Missouri, USA (Pineville is 12 Miles North of Bella Vista, Arkansas. )
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 6)
This is a new secluded cabin in the middle of 20+ acres on Big Sugar Creek. Perfect for a romantic getaway or bring the kids or another couple to share the experience. Nothing beats a peaceful evening sitting around a camp fire watching the stars on a clear night. The eagles roost along the bluffs and return each year from November through March. The cabin is on the bluff side of the creek . You can also hike down to the creek or there are swimming areas near by accessible via car. (Mac's Big Rock and Owl's Nest) The closest canoe out-fitter is approx. 2 miles away at Sugar Island Campground.
The area is known for its horse trails and hunting at Huckleberry Ridge State Forest. According to legend, locals used to the harvest huckleberries, which are a type of blueberry. The forest has miles of horse trails suitable for the novice or experienced rider. Popular sites include: Green Hollow, Cave Hollow, Overlook Point and Sheep Herders bluff. Horse trailers are welcome. The park also offers bicycling, bird watching, camping, and hiking.
Big Sugar Creek derived its name from the numerous groves of sugar maples which grew along its banks. Just up stream and east of Pineville is Cyclone, Missouri. A popular float is from the low water bridge at Cyclone to Craig O'Lea. The road to Cyclone meanders up the Big Sugar Creek Valley. A post office was established December, 1883 and Cyclone was named from the great cyclone of April 18, 1880, that passed through this part of the state.
During the warmer months the creek is a popular place for picnics, sunbathing, camping and canoeing. Elk River along with its tributaries, provides some of the clearest water and best canoeing in the state. The skill level is rated easy to moderate. The Elk is about as easy as they come, while Big Sugar, Little Sugar and Indian Creeks are narrower, swifter and more challenging. Bring your own canoe/kayak or rent from several canoe outfitters in the area. If you have ever wanted to try stream snorkeling, this is the place to do it!
Lots more pictures available on request.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I grew up in the area, attending school in nearby Neosho, Mo. This was always a popular place to go and I loved the clear water creek. Years later, I purchased land on the creek and built a cabin. here. My family have enjoyed camping, 4-wheeling and canoeing at "MeMa's Cabin".
Why the Owner Chose Pineville
I enjoy the water and have spent several childhood days on Big Sugar Creek. I purchased the land (20+ acres) and had the cabin built as a weekend getaway.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
In Pineville, Missouri, an annual "Jesse James Days" festival is held in August.

Jesse James was the first Western filmed in color, and it remains a vibrant adventure. Each year, the Pineville festival includes an outdoor screening of the film. Northwest Arkansas offers nice restaurants, nightlife, and outdoor adventures within minutes away. If you can't stay long in the woods, casinos are 30-45 minutes away in Seneca, Missouri or Grove, Oklahoma.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My husband I stayed at the cabin this past weekend for a bit of rest and relaxation. That it was! The cabin is perfectly outfitted and beautifully decorated. The pictures on the website don't even do it justice! It is quite spacious - even though it was just the two of us we felt even bringing our kids back would still be spacious enough. The property is perfect for hiking... prepare for a bit of a work out on some of the hills! The kitchen was stocked with every tool you need and it even supplies DVDs for your viewing pleasure. We had a fantastic time and cannot wait to return for another visit to the area!

Cabin in the woods

My family spent 4 nights here in October. We had a great time. My 5 and 8 year old children spent hours playing in the creek and the woods. We also floated on Big Sugar creek, went hiking and even saw 2 bald eagles. Now a few notes about the layout of the cabin. It was our fervent hope for us parents to sleep in a bit during our stay and we knew our kids would still be up at 7 am. When you enter the cabin, the 2nd bedroom is there on the first floor off of the entry and then there is the bathroom to your right. The master bedroom, kitchen, living area, and jacuzzi tub are all upstairs in what is essentially one open room. This is good to know if you are a family or 2 couples, etc. In order to accomplish our privacy goal, we put the kids upstairs and us parentals slept downstairs in the 2nd bedroom. That gained us an extra hour snoozing in the morning while the kids hit the cereal buffet. The cabin is clean, well maintained and has most basic kitchen supplies. Very, very private setting. You can access the stream directly from the cabin by hiking down a very steep road about 10-15 minutes to the bottom of the bluff. Our phones mostly worked at the cabin.

This was a great getaway! Very secluded, but had fun things to do nearby. It was a very clean and beautiful cabin on a stunning piece of property. We went canoing nearby and also drove to Bluff Dweller's Cavern to enjoy the beauty of the area. The owner was great to work with also! Very highly recommended! We can't wait to see what the fall season holds - we will be back! Thanks so much!
Owner response:Thanks Katie. Hope to have you guys back soon. Mary

My wife and I stayed at the cabin in the spring for our anniversary weekend. We truly loved it! Inside, it had all the comforts of home (plus more, with the Jacuzzi tub). Outside, it was super secluded and quiet except for the sounds of nature. We spent some time in the outdoor hot-tub with a crackling fire going in the pit next to us. It was great. There are some nice places to eat within about 15 - 20 minutes of the cabin or you can just bring food and never leave. I would recommend this cabin to anyone. Thank you Mary for the great memories!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the cabin!! It was a great place to celebrate our anniversary, scenic and secluded, with a hot tub under the stars and a jacuzzi in the cabin! He particularly enjoyed the limited cell service and fishing in the amazingly clear water! It was a wonderful getaway, and we hope to come back in the future! We may even bring our kids next time... :)

Everything was just as described and looked like the pictures, which can't really do it justice. The cabin was in pristine condition and included plenty of linens and extra pillows, plus lots of towels for the hot tub (which all four of our boys enjoyed). This is a great place to get-away, but is very close to lots of activities in NW Arkansas. We were only 20 minutes from family in Bella Vista, but it felt like we were in Colorado with the tall trees, hills and secluded cabin. Mary was great to make sure everything was ready for us when we booked the cabin on very short notice. This would make a great location for a romantic weekend, a girls crafting weekend, or a quiet retreat. My husband and I would love to come back without the kids sometime soon!
Owner response:Patty, thanks for taking the time to write a review. I'm glad your family enjoyed the cabin. Hope to see you guys back again soon. Mary

My husband and I spent a wonderful weekend the first weekend in November here at this cabin. The cabin was spotless and clean and had everything you needed. The property was secluded and had great walking trails. The hot tub was amazing along with the fire pit outside to enjoy! Its a great place to just get away and enjoy nature. The cabin is new and really adorable. We loved it so much and will plan another trip back for sure. You are not far from great places to go to dinner as well. We really had a great weekend! Thanks Mary it was so much fun! There is a second bedroom with double beds if you want to come with your family too!

August Vacation

My 10 year old twins and I stayed at Mary's cabin the week of my birthday. Enjoyed introducing them to the creek, Big Rock and Flat Rock just as my parents had brought me as a child. Magic times to see them light up enjoying the same things I have enjoyed all my life on the creek. The cabin was perfect. Kids were expecting the typical small river cabin. This place is not a typical river rental. Twins loved the hot tub. I enjoyed a very nice getaway at a home on the bluff. We enjoyed walking on the trails, fishing, swimming, finding rocks with holes in them...skipping rocks. Creek is just down the hill below the cabin and canoe rentals are close. Would be a great getaway for a couple looking for time to play together without distractions or other folks close by. Hope to get back soon and often.
