Porch space was great to sit and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet while grilling. Loved the hot tub! Beautiful interior. And the heated bathroom floors were a nice added touch.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay ! Adorable cozy and clean cabin in a quiet location, situated in a beautiful wooded setting - just what we wanted ! Bonuses included were the fun board games and cards for entertainment , comfy throws for curling up on the sofa , hot tub and the heated bathroom floors ! Also appreciated the nearby walking path that led to the Shangri-la resort where we could relax and enjoy the fun amenities ,grab a bite to eat or a coffee at the Monkey Grind! Would love to bring our kiddos with us next time!

Thank you for choosing us! We are so glad that you enjoyed our cabin and got to have fun with the board games, hot tub, and nearby activities. You're welcome back anytime!
These cabins offer everything. You do not need to bring anything with you except clothes and smaller amenities. We have stayed at two of these cabins. They are clean, absolutely beautiful and well priced. We were very pleased from booking to checking out. It is perfectly located on Monkey Island as well. I want to thank our host, who has been very accommodating and caring, for giving us a wonderful experience. I've rented cabins across the country and you will not find the luxery you get for this price. We are now going to make this a Spring and Fall destination.

Hi Wanda! Thank you for the review. So great to hear that you enjoyed our home and were able to find a relaxing stay for your 10 year anniversary! Would love to have you back!!
Came up to Monkey Island for a 2-day/2-night stay and the Twin Retreat exceeded our high standards. Exceptionally clean, almost brand new, and well stocked with amenities. The heated floors in the bathrooms are a nice touch. Several public boat launch ramps nearby too. We have stayed here several times and keep it high on our favorites list. We will be back again.

It's always a pleasure hosting you! Thank you for continuing to come back to our cabin. As always you're welcome back anytime!
We had an amazing stay, was very quiet, peaceful and exactly what we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and cooking dinner in the peace and quiet with not a lot of people are traffic would definitely recommend anyone who’s looking to get away with your significant other.

Thank you Mark! So glad that you guys enjoyed your time!
The Twin Retreat Cabin was great for our family of 4! The accommodations were clean and nice with everything we needed. The property manager Josh was super responsive and helpful. The check in and check out process was easy. My kids loved the loft, hot tub, golf cart, and kayaks. Great location too! We were so close to Grand Lake and boat rentals, as well as Shangri-La Resort and the wonderful restaurant Shebangs. Would love to stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Josh
I am married to my best friend and we have three adorable daughters! We enjoy being outdoors, near water, and spending time with great friends and family! I am a Realtor, entrepreneur, and real estate professional and currently sell new construction homes in Northwest Arkansas! We love hosting family and friends so hosting you is our pleasure!
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because it's the perfect distance away from our home in Northwest Arkansas for a weekend getaway! Not too far but not too close. Monkey Island is also full of fun activities to do year round or we can choose to enjoy to peace and quiet of the cabin if we just want to lay low!
What makes this property unique
We love our cabin for the design of it and the size! Its just big enough to comfortably host our family of 5 but yet small enough to bring us all together for some great family time! We also love all of the outdoor living space! The cabin has a large oversized deck with patio furniture for eating meals outside, it's got a private fire pit in the back with adirondacks around it, and it's got large open windows to help bring the outdoors in!
