The family-friendly river flows casually past massive rock bluffs shaded by tree-lined banks and slopes.       -Free of commercial development, the Ouachita is a gentle river with occasional Class I-II rapids separated by flat-water pools.  Fishing is excellent, with an abundance of bass (mostly smallmouth, largemouth and spotted), bluegill, catfish, green and longear sunfish, walleye and any number of other species.     - Mother Nature blessed the Ouachita Mountains with the most beautiful quartz crystal in the world.  Mount Ida is known as the "Quartz Crystal Capital of the World".  We welcome all rock hounds, both amateur and professional.        -Womble Trail, Ouachita Trail,  and Lake Ouachita Vista Trail are nearby EPIC mountain biking and hiking trails.  There are other secluded, forest trails such as Fourche Mountain Trail, available for exploring on your ATVs.  Just a few feet away from your cabin are short trails into the National Forest.        -We are located near one of the darkest sky places in Arkansas and you can easily see the Milky  Way.  We have thousands of fireflies in season and you might catch sight of an occasional Bald Eagle, Blue Heron or Road Runner.  -"Windchimes" cabin has a bit of a retro vibe and welcomes you to kick back, unwind and relax in the comfort and privacy of your own cabin.  You’ll have the space to yourself and will only share it with those you’re traveling with.  While you are staying with us you can forget about any worry you may have in the real world and just live in the moment.     - Only one of our four cabins is visible from your cabin and it is 130 ft away.   You are on the banks of the scenic Ouachita River which is 212 ft away with easy walk or drive down access. You are in the middle of the Ouachita National Forest and the nearest red light is 35 miles away,  but Mother Nature in all her splendor is only 35 seconds away.  If you want to get "away from it all", this is the place for you.  We live on site in our home/office and are available  to assist you if you need help with anything from starting a fire to answering questions about where to go and what to see.  We have a very small store and try to stock the necessities including ice, river shoes and basic food supplies.  -We are in the middle of the Ouachita National Forest on the banks of the scenic Ouachita River.   There is not a red light in our county.  If you want to get "away from it all", this is the place for you.  Just a few feet away from your cabin are short trails into the National Forest.  You need your own transportation or we can provide shuttle service for you.

Fun on the river
The unit was very comfortable and access to the river was good. We spent a lot of time in the river, which was pretty clear. Caught a couple of fish, but did not fish seriously. Had a good time at the fire we had every night.. they supplied the wood. A place for marshmallows and friends to get toasted. It was great having my pets with me.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi! Our names are Casey and Amanda Sullivan.
We were married in August 2020, and closed on this beautiful property in October 2020.
It was a whirlwind year to say the least!

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it is so secluded and peaceful. Surrounded on 3 sides by National Forest and the Ouachita River on the other really sets it apart from anywhere else.
Our children (and ourselves) get to discover new and exciting plants and creatures we have never seen all the time, and go on fun river trips together.
