Fantastic Retreat

My family and fur babies had a fabulous time. The place needed some cleaning up when we arrived, but we got that handled and we enjoyed our stay very much. It was so very nice to be able to take our pups with us. We enjoyed all the personal touches Davis has put into the home. We will for sure be back a lot.

Dog Awesome

This property was wonderful. The home is beautiful and we were able to spread out. This place has everything to offer for humans and dogs. The driveway can be a little tricky. We had 4-wheel drive so it was okay. If you are looking for privacy and a great place to bring your pets along, you just found it!

Great cabin with great views

Our family including children and dogs thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We hiked the trails on the property and enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace or in the hot tub. The view from the 3rd floor can't be beat and we saw deer multiple times per day. The cabin had all we needed to cook all of our meals there. Our dogs loved the huge outdoor fenced area to explore on their own. Our kids loved the dog and bear carvings and artwork. Overall really amazing place to visit.

3 pak of Doxies welcomed!!

We were looking for a place that was secluded, had a hot tub and would welcome our doxy 3 pak. This 3 level cabin checked all the boxes and was beautiful, as was the view from the top of the mountain. Our long weekend was enjoyed by us and our doxies, as well. The dogs loved the never-ending water bowls, the large fenced in area for them to run around leash free and the doggy beds!! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us, Davis.

Great Lodging and Aesthetic!

We had a great time at Davis' place! The cabin is a work of art in it's own right, rustic, but, comfortable with a view of the surounding mountains and forest, which can even be viewed while soaking in the hot tub. There's plenty of room inside and out with trails around the property through the woods. The owner Davis is awesome! He is super easy to communicate with and helpful. He made sure we had everything we needed and scrambled to made an alternate route to the place when his bridge was damaged by the waters. If you do stay there, check out Crooked Creek Access a couple minutes down hwy 62 for a nice easy hiking trail that follows the creek. Anyway, the place is great, the pictures don't do it justice. Would love to stay there again!

Doggie Dream Home

First time to Arkansas for my husband and I and our two Border Collies, a hidden gem, I love it! I also love this home and property! The outside had many private and remote acres of treed rolling hills with wide hiking paths throughout. Our dogs loved being able to roam freely and explore, and I enjoyed our daily jogs and hikes on the trails. For those dogs who cannot be trusted off leash, there is also a large fenced-in area in the back of the house complete with a mud room and doggy doors. The house is amazing, like nothing I have ever seen, doggie art with stories from all over the world, fancy wood, dog (mostly Lab) and bear decor everywhere, automatic dog waterers, two dog beds (with a big fluffy teddy bear), electric fireplace, huge kitchen with everything, washer/dryer, two TVs (no internet, but cell phones work well), and even a hot tub. Unfortunately, the fancy carved wood stairs were too slippery for our two older dogs, so we had to carry them up and down the stairs to use the bedrooms and the hot tub and to enjoy the amazing views on the 3rd floor. The owner (Davis) lives on the property in another house on the other side of a hill. I loved meeting him upon our arrival and hearing some of his dog stories, and seeing and feeling his deep love for dogs which truly showed throughout this rental home, dogs are truly the best!

Pet Friendly Get Away

This property was the most pet friendly location we have ever visited in the nearly 20 years we have been using VRBO. The property has a HUGE fenced in area plus it's on acreage. Our dogs loved being able to just get out of the car and not have to worry. They were able to lay in the front "yard" and keep an eye on the property while they were waiting for the next woodland creature to emerge. We saw deer, rabbit, 3 skinks that live under the driveway, an armadillo, lots of very large birds (including an eagle), a bobcat and a bat that flew past us one evening under the covered porch. The best was the hummingbird couple that would come check in on us every time we were outside. They would hover within a few feet of us, look us in the eye as if to say Hello. You can hear the cows and chickens from a nearby property which was perfect for us. The home is equipped with automatic watering bowls which the dogs loved and they quickly learned that stopping for a romp in the creek before heading out for the day or heading back was now part of the routine. It was upper 80s during our stay so they enjoyed the opportunity to cool off. Like the description says in the listing, the house is fun and not fancy. You aren't going to find high end finishes and plush furniture but you will find nearly everything you need (ladies, bring your hairdryer). Having said that the house met all of our needs. The owner has collected dog art from around the world and is displayed throughout the house. The third flood has the most amazing views. It is so peaceful. Although we didn't use every room of the house, there are plenty of options to spreadout if you have a larger group. Davis is very responsive. He was on site staying in a different house on the proerty (which is separate and on the other side of the hill). We would chat nearly everyday like you would at home with a neighbor. He was very friendly and we enjoyed our conversations. Especially enjoyed meeting his four legged companions. We have Verizon for cell service and never had an issue making a call or using it as an internet hot spot. The only negative thing to say about the house is that it would be preferred that two of the bathrooms have window treatments. It's a secluded location however, certain parts of the house should have some privacy. We do look forward to visiting again whenever we are in the area.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts...it took lot of time to compose your review and I greatly appreciate that! Being fellow dog lovers, I think you found the canine love I tried to instill. You guys grew to be like family in a short period of time; dogs are a social bridge for sure! Btw I always focused on letting Mother nature "in" so I never considered installing blinds or a curtain in the bathrooms due to the remote location but I truly get it...thanks! Mini blind going in downstairs...not sure about second story though... I sure hope you return for another visit. You are the kind of guests that make sharing a home joyous and hosting possible!!

Peaceful getaway

We had such a peaceful getaway here! Davis clearly has put so much thought and love into this cabin and it shows. And of course our dogs had an absolutely blast. From the pond and trails, to the dog beds and refillable water bowls. The cabin was clean and provided plenty of space. Views were beautiful and we saw deer almost every night. A must stay for all, especially those that have furry friends with them!

One of the top places we have stayed

This place is amazing. It is peaceful. You literally can see no other houses from where you are. The view is magnificent. The house was so cool. It had everything we needed and was so comfortable. I wanted to live on the third floor and never come down. Communication with the owner was great. We will be coming back when we are in the area again.

Loved the cabin and solitude

We had a great time at the cabin. It was quiet, remote, and comfortable. We brought our GSD and it was perfect for a family with pets. There are automatic water bowls, a fenced yard, and a mud room. It was nice to have space to roam and explore. The kitchen was great, and there was a grill for some outdoor cooking. It was close enough to fishing and floating that we got to spend some time on the river and caught some trout. The area is great and there is plenty to do outdoors. We really enjoyed our time here and will be back.

Perfect Getaway

Our 2nd time here and once again a great weekend away from the rat race. Quiet, secluded, lots of hiking trails on the property, all sorts of wildlife come to visit late evening and early morning and it is pet friendly like no other. Lots of things to do in the area if you want to venture out. The hot tub is fantastic. I asked Casey how she liked it and she gave a resounding RUFF RUFF! We’ll be back.

Great Dog Hideaway Oasis

We loved our stay here and will definitely be back when we need a relaxing getaway with our dogs. We only left the property once to go check out Crooked Creek. Other than that the dogs enjoyed exploring the property and being off leash the whole time. Then we enjoyed our dogs being tired and soaking in the hot tub. We cooked every meal and enjoyed each other’s company. Everyone was very accommodating and made our stay smooth! We will definitely be back.

August Arkansas Getaway

My husband and I, along with our adult children and 3 pets, really enjoyed our stay. Ultimate family vacation with 2 dogs and a very geriatric 20 year old cat! All of us were comfortable and had room to spread out and relax! Amenities are just as described! We also enjoyed the area by hiking to Indian Rock House, Floating the Buffalo River at Spring Creek, and tubing on the lazy part of the river on two relaxing afternoons. We used the fire pit to make s'mores and cooking our meals in the cabin's kitchen. Loved it!

Host profile image
THOUGH THE STORY IS LONG, YEARS AGO A DOG NAMED BOOSTER CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. HE GOT ME THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES AND BECAME MY SERVICE DOG. HE MOTIVATED ME AT AGE 50 SOMETHING TO RETURN TO COLLEGE AND EARN A MASTER'S DEGREE IN CANINE LIFE SCIENCE AT BERGIN UNIVERSITY OF CANINE STUDIES (BUCS). I MADE BOOSTER A PROMISE TO SHARE HIM WITH THE WORLD. IF YOU GOOGLE "DAVIS HAWN BOOSTER" YOU WILL SEE THAT I KEPT MY PROMISE. FROM CUBA TO PERU, THE BAHAMAS TO COSTA RICA AND BEYOND. TOGETHER WE VISITED THAI ORPHANS WITH HIV, MEXICAN CHILDREN WITH CANCER (BOOSTER WAS A CANCER SURVIVOR) AND SO MUCH MORE. WHEN HE GOT OLDER WE WERE INVITED TO KOREA WHERE HE WAS CLONED. THOUGH HE PASSED AWAY I HAVE HIS 2 CLONES BOOSTED AND BUSTED,.
BOOSTER LOVED THE COUNTRY AND I BUILT THIS HOME WITH HIM IN MIND. I WANT TO SHARE THE HOME WITH OTHERS WHO REALIZE THAT DOGS DO SO MUCH TO CHANGE, PROTECT, AND NURTURE US.

Why they chose this property

IF YOU ARE LIKE ME, YOU HATE TO TRAVEL WITHOUT YOUR CANINE KIDS!...YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS! THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL WITH YOUR DOG(S) AND ENJOY MOTHER NATURE, GO HIKE AND EXPLORE THE PROPERTY OR GO CANOEING NEARBY WITH YOUR DOG,

What makes this property unique
