We definitely enjoyed the Hillside Hideaway cabin. Check in and check out was a breeze, communication was great and everything you would need is provided. We loved sitting around the fire pit in the back, roasting marshmallows and telling stories. We had a movie night in the living room with the fireplace burning and the kitchen had all the utensils and cookware we needed to make our dinner. Beds were comfortable and towels were soft. The only thing that was discouraging was not being able to go kayaking…..due to the weather. Overall, we definitely would come back!

The pictures dont do it justice. What I first noticed walking in to dimmed lights and relaxing music was amazing for the hosts to provide that experience. The decor is spot on and there is so much to look at.. its just beautiful and makes you feel cozy!!! Then we walked outside in the back with the lights around the trees and firepit and it added to the magic. The hosts provided everything needed for cooking and the beds were comfortable. We did take a drive to the river and spent all day fishing. Caught a baby perch but thats it. It was still beautiful to be out there. Overall, we enjoyed it and will be back soon for a next time!!

Pretty little place

Great place for a family to get out and wonder. Cabin was nice and cozy. We will be back for sure in the future. And kyayks were fun no fish biting though. Better for fall and winter here as summer will dry up all creeks and waterfalls around. But awesome place to stay for sure!!

Great Cabin

If you enjoy being secluded , charcoal grilling and sit around a nice fire pit then this is a place for you, Everything else is a good drive away.Kayaks are located inbetween some cabins so its awkward. Not much to do for little ones. When we arrived lights were out due to storm , called property manager and he responded fast to the point of him wanting to drive far to get us ice. I really appreciated that. Overall good cozy cabin.

Perfect short getaway from city life

Clean, cozy and beautiful. Almost perfect except a few small things. Some items like the lighter, shampoo and body wash were almost empty and the bathtub drain plug wouldn’t stay up.

Relaxing Getaway

This was our second stay at this cabin. It was just as welcoming and relaxing as our first visit. We spent three nights here and really enjoyed the cozy cabin and nights by the fire pit. We did a lot of exploring around the cabin and surrounding area. It was just a short walk through the trees behind the cabin to get to the river where we sat and watched the water while our daughter played. The hosts were great to deal with and the check in and ouy was very smooth. I highly recommend this cabin.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I try to take an annual anniversary trip to kayak a river. This cabin is a central location for multiple nearby options. It is easy to find and a very pretty cabin. Access to the River for a longer trip or heavy kayak not the best due to steep stairs but we made it work. Really enjoyed our stay!

This was the best cabin our family has experienced for vacation. It is the small details that are so meaningful: fishing poles, plenty of dishes and linens, games, and super clean. 30 min from restaurants and a few minute walk to river.

About the host

Hosted by Michael and Maria Frosch

Host profile image
Maria and I have been visiting this beautiful area for the past three years, and we simply fell in love with its peacefulness and natural beauty. Living and working in Dallas, TX, the daily hustle and bustle can get overwhelming, so we decided to take a leap of faith and purchase our dream vacation property here.

Hillside Hideaway is our sanctuary—a place to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Whether kayaking on the nearby Mountain Fork River, hiking in Beavers Bend State Park, or simply enjoying the quiet woods surrounding the cabin, this place brings us peace and joy.

We’re excited to share this special retreat with others and hope it becomes your favorite getaway spot, just like it is for us.

Why they chose this property

When we decided to invest in a vacation home, finding the right location was everything. Legacy Trails stood out because it offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and community. Nestled on 35 acres of serene woods with gated access, it feels safe and secluded without being isolated.

We love that the neighborhood provides exclusive access to the Mountain Fork River, allowing us to enjoy kayaking, fishing, and peaceful river views just steps from the cabin. The sense of community here is welcoming but low-key, so you can truly relax and feel at home.

Plus, its convenient location — only 25–30 minutes from Broken Bow Lake, Beavers Bend State Park, and local dining and attractions — makes it an ideal base for exploring the best of the region. For us, Legacy Trails offers the perfect balance of nature, adventure, and comfort.

What makes this property unique

This cabin has everything you need for an amazing and relaxing getaway. We wanted a place that feels like home but still offers that special “away from it all” vibe. The bedrooms feature handmade queen-sized Aspen log beds and plenty of storage for all your belongings.

The living room provides ample space for quality time with friends and family, highlighted by a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone wall with an embedded gas log fireplace. Rustic décor complements the cozy atmosphere, and there’s a queen-sized sofa sleeper, love seat, and chair to ensure everyone has a comfy spot. On rainy nights, enjoy Direct TV with 150+ channels, a selection of board games, and DVDs for entertainment.

The location strikes the perfect balance: just 30 miles from Broken Bow and Hochatown, so you can explore popular attractions like Broken Bow Lake, the Hochatown Petting Zoo, and fantastic local restaurants such as Girls Gone Wine — then return to the tranquility and peacefulness of nature. Watch deer roam freely around the property as you unwind.

Nearby, you’ll find many exciting attractions to explore. Mena, Arkansas, is just a beautiful 30-minute drive away, where you can enjoy the breathtaking Talimena Scenic Drive. The Rich Mountain Firetower, with its observation decks, is only 20.6 miles from Smithville. And don’t miss Mountain Fork Brewery, offering over 10 beers on tap along with 6-packs and growlers.
