We stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it! The home was inviting and comfortable. We love that there were kayaks that were included to use. The wifi was fast and the owner was attentive and quick to respond when we needed batteries for the remote. Highly recommend!

I would give this cabin and host 10 out of 5 stars if I could. The hosts were so attentive and there to help and explain things when we checked in and had questions. The cabin was clean and perfect for our stay. The access to the lake was perfect for our family and gave us a place to park our boat. I would highly recommend renting this cabin, or one of the others that the hosts have to offer. Would definitely rent from them again.

I had a fantastic time staying at this place. The home itself was clean, well-appointed, and matched the photos perfectly. Tina was a wonderful host. Communication was quick and seamless from the moment I booked until check-out. They provided clear instructions and were very helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was very well equipped and we had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable! I slept like a baby. I loved the secluded feel of the area and we enjoyed the peace that can only come from nature. I'll book again and can't wait to return!

Great little getaway

Wife and daughter took a trip to go to Crater of diamonds and other attractions in the general area. This was kinda in the middle and not a bad drive to the crater at just over an hour. Being in close proximity to Hot Springs, AR was nice. Cabin was nice with comfy beds and great to relax in. The dock was nice to be out by the water and lovely view. Bathroom is a little small but worked. Would recommend as a place to stay.

Cabin Retreat w/ pets

We enjoyed our stay very much! This cabin is one of a 3 property rental. We traveled with pets and the back yard is securely fenced and does connect separate but shared fence with next house. If you don’t want to share, then this is a share property. It’s nestled in a wonderful wooded area that overlooks woods and down below you see the lake peaking through. The dock has two ways to get to it depending on mobility but is a little steep to the dock. We had no issues at all! About 24 minutes from bath row and nestled on a hill. The cabin is easy to access, stocked very well and clean. It is a cabin so the bathroom is smaller but remodeled fully. We packed lightly, made a great few day getaway snd wanted for nothing. We would absolutely stay again!

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Overall, we had a great stay and would like to have stayed longer. A couple of things to note: 1) the bathroom was tiny which was difficult to use with young children, but it was well maintained and well stocked. This is not a complaint, just a note to others. Don't let it stop you from staying there. Similarly, 2) we enjoyed having access to a dock, but since it was shared with another unit who parked a boat there and left their belongings scattered around, we were only able to use it one time (before they did that) to fish. Our units side of the dock was against the shoreline with trees overgrowing it. The dock was covered, which was really nice, but we were not able to fish from it as easily as we thought. Other great features included ample parking, well stocked kitchen, a fire pit stocked with firewood, a great covered back deck, it was spacious and comfortable, and with all the shade and air conditioners we stayed very comfortable in the summer heat. And to top it all off, the host was amazing, kind, and generous. We would definitely consider staying there again!

This cabin was perfect for our family of 4 and 2 dogs! The cabin was very well stocked with all the essentials and crazy amount of towels and rags!!! The fire pit had an amazing view overhead, the picnic table had an amazing view of the lake, and the hike down to the boat dock was always a blast with the dogs! The furniture and cabinets were stunning, the shower was amazing and always hot, the beds and blankets were all cozy! The owners were very friendly and willing to help us with anything we needed, which everything was already taken care of by them. Overall we will be back and absolutely enjoyed our stay here!

Beautiful views, private location, and close to the water

We loved our cabin stay and the property. The kids were super excited about staying in the woods and close proximity to waffles (them) and coffee (us). The water levels were high due to flooding and we found a safe place to stay with all the comforts of home.
