Location: Murfreesboro, Arkansas, USA (At Entrance to Cowhide Cove Rec Area, 10 Minutes from Town)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Keywords: Country Cabin
The Cabin is located near Lake Greeson on nearly two acres in the countryside adjoining the Corps of Engineers Cowhide Cove Recreational Area. Its quiet setting in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains gives the surreal relaxing atmosphere that most of us have forgotten or maybe have never experienced in our fast paced lives.
Its central location is what makes this cabin so great. Within minutes from here you can be on the lake fishing or skiing, casting flys for trout in the Little Missouri River, picnicking on one of the beaches, unloading your atv or mountain bike for a trail ride, climbing into a canoe or kayak for a river float, searching the mine for real diamonds or in town checking out some of the antique shops.
A full kitchen is provided along with an extra freezer to store your fish and ice in. Finish up the day by grilling on the large deck out back or watching a movie inside. For more information about the cabin and things to do in the area, check out our website. A link is provided below the calendar section of this page.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
Thomas and Judy currently live in north Louisiana and have two teenage daughters (pray for them!), but plan on making Arkansas their permanent home in the near future. They have been camping regularly here at Lake Greeson for over eight years, ever since starting scuba diving. They dove in lakes all around this area and found something special, not only about Lake Greeson, but the area as well. It's a little out of the way, not on the beaten path to anywhere in particular, but this is what gives this area its magic. I guess you could say its their own little slice of "Mayberry".
Why the Owner Chose Murfreesboro
We chose this cabin because it is such a neat house close to where we have camped since 2001. In the past few years camping has exploded in popularity. No longer can you show up on Friday afternoons in summer and get a spot by the water. If you want to get on the water, you have to reserve one by the end of February, unless you are very lucky. After being spoiled with camping for several years in a sparsely populated facility, the "get away" effect has diminished for us. Not that there have been any bad experiences, it just isn't as quiet, peaceful and private as it used to be. This cabin recaptures that plus more.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Enjoy staying in a non-typical house, visiting the "Triangle House" just breaks the monotony of the box world we live the rest of the year. Bring extra family members with your boat and camper to enjoy the full benefits of the cabin's RV hookup and boat charging station. Check out the back yard late evenings or wake up early to watch for deer that you are most likely to see during your stay.

The cabin was beautiful! It had everything we needed, very comfortable and roomy. The owners were so friendly and helpful. Only a short distance to the lake to go swimming and boating. The deer came out every evening that we watched from the balcony. There was 5 of us and our little dog, who wore himself out going up and down the stairs, even he was excited! We were so impressed and it was so nice not to have to stay in a cramped hotel room, we will definately stay here again now that we know about it. You won't be dissapointed, we loved it!!!

When my sister in NJ said they were going to Crater of Diamonds for vacation this year, we decided to meet them there since it was so close (we live in TX). I started looking and found this quaint little cabin in the woods at what I considered a steal...was I ever right! We had a marvelous time, relaxed, fished, watched the wildlife from the deck, and basically just enjoyed the heck out of this tidy, comfortable little hideaway in the woods! So if you're looking for a place to stay and really enjoy Arkansas, I would highly recommend the Cowhide Cove Cabin at Lake Greeson! We could not have been happier! Thomas and Judy are wonderful! The water park at the Crater of Diamonds park is quite refreshing and reasonably priced. Hot Springs is within an hour of the cabin and is a very interesting and diverse place to visit. A couple of notes: 1 - Cell phone reception (AT&T) at the cabin is nonexistent until you get up the hill; 2 - there is no Internet at the cabin...thought I would miss is, but quickly learned that I didn't! and 3 - this area is 'dry', so either bring enough 'adult beverages' for your entire stay, or be prepared to drive a bit to get to a 'wet' county! All part of the charm, honestly! We loved our time at the Cabin!!

We had great time! The cabin was just as described and very comfortable...especially the big recliners! We dug for diamonds one day and visited the Indian site on the other. Both were fun. We also ate several places in town. The Mexican place was good, as well as Campbell's. Our favorite place was Buddy's. We plan on coming back soon and will definitely stay here again!

Wonderfully detailed, spectacularly quiet- a little ways down from Hot Springs- very private feeling- not too many people around the gorgeous Lake Greeson, but plenty of cute deer! Spacious home, great land. You can cook, watch tv, take in the sights and relax very well here- quite comfy- the perfect get-a-way from it all. Owner extremely helpful- thanks Thomas.

A friend and I just spent five days at the cabin, and loved every minute of it. The place was even better than we expected: super comfortable beds, huge recliners, big screen t.v. -- everything you could want, and at such a great price. We were a little disappointed in the diamond mining experience, but two days (yeah, it was that good) at Wegner's quartz crystal mine more than made up for it, and the bath experience at Hot Springs was the perfect way to end our stay and soothe sore muscles. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone vacationing in the vicinity. One cautionary note: a GPS is not a reliable bet in Arkansas: you would be wise to run off MapQuest directions from the cabin to places you are thinking of going.

Perfect Place To Vacation!

We found this cabin a great getaway! The cabin is minutes just from town and the area attractions. It is spacious inside & out. We spent hours sitting on the back deck enjoying the peace and quiet with virtually no one around. Great BBQ grill right out the back door. Our favorite part at night was stargazing. We found the owner Thomas, to be as good as gold! We cannot wait to return!

I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the area. It has everything you need for a perfect country get away. And its in the middle of everything! The diamond mine is a short drive, access to the little Missouri is close by, lake Greeson is close by, Daisy state park is close by. It's the perfect middle of no where spot that's in the middle of everything. Bonus - There are two balconies - one off each room - so if you stay with a friend both get a room with a balcony!! An awesome patio with an awesome grill that makes for a perfect evening of cooking and kicking back on the patio watching the birds and wildlife in the backyard after a long day of diamond mining or swimming. The renters are also very hospitable! You an tell they enjoy spending time at their cabin as much as their guests do. It is very well kept and maintained. Our overall experience at this cabin has been better than most of the places we have rented in the area. It's definitely a 5 star place in my book!

We were so happy with the cabin. It is so much bigger on the inside than it looks from outside. My husband and I loved the recliners. We enjoyed the diamond hunting video and supplies. We didn't have any luck, but what an experience. We'll be back.

We had such a good time at the cabin! There was plenty of room, and it was remote enough to feel private while being close enough to Murfreesboro to get in and out quickly. For pet owners, the backyard area is huge and your dogs will enjoy romping around--I know ours did! Thomas and Judy have done a great job with the cabin. There is a large packet of information that is very extensive, and it is really helpful for anyone looking for anything to do in the area. The owners are so friendly and will do anything to help you out! We will definitely be making a return trip...once the weather is cooler!!
