About the host
Hosted by Michael and Maria Frosch
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.
