lovely rustic cabin overlooking river

Sitting on the back porch looking over the river and listening to the birds was lovely. We saw a bald eagle pair swoop through!

Beautiful surroundings and a lovely cabin!

Awesome little cabin deep in the woods next to the river. The cabin came well stocked with necessities, and the property it’s on is beautiful. It’s a short walk to river access, and there’s laundry facilities and a place to wash crystals on site. We will absolutely be back to stay again!

Beautiful Peaceful Place

We stayed two nights so we could go to the crystal mines. This place is off the beaten path about 8 miles down a dirt road but so worth it. Could hear the river while on the back porch, saw deer and other wildlife. Will definitely stay again! Host was great and stayed in touch when we needed.

Cozy Cabin on the River

So enjoyed staying in this cozy cabin on the lake. It was quiet and peaceful. The Crystal Minds we came to see were close by with a grocery store and wonderful Cafe in Mt Ida. Alan was available if you had any questions or concerns. I would definitely come stay here again!

Perfectly Quiet🥰

Process was easy, I had to change my original booking and Alan was quick and efficient with that change. The property is remote, river access is close and it was just what I needed! It’s a great place to recharge your energy. Thanks Alan for a great stay😃

Beautiful Secluded Property

Beautiful property off in the woods. Access to Ouachita River for swimming and fishing. Boys loved it! Its pretty far off from town, but the owners home is located on the property so youre not all alone. The owner was helpful and friendly. Only set back is no cell signal but thats probably good for you anyways! Great place!

Cabin 1

The cabin was very cozy and we could very much tell it was well cared for. Owner was helpful and the view was gorgeous, Just a short little walk to the river its self. Only complaint is that we had a little difficulty finding it and I did have to dig through about 5 emails (with next to no service) to find out exactly which of the 3 cabins I was booked for but all in all, I enjoyed the stay

Nice Getaway - Really Enjoyed It

The family and I had a great time and really enjoyed the cabin. Clean, private, and comfortable. Excellent getaway with the Quachita river within walking distance. Wifi was not as good as we hoped, and the road is about six miles of gravel road (not recommended for motorcycle trips) but these are small complaints to an overall great secluded place to stay with access to the river and several crystal mines close by, not to mention Hot Springs an hour away. Recommended!

Peaceful and quiet

Host was great. Cabin was very accommodating. It was awesome to sit and drink coffee looking at the river as the sun came up. Wildlife was great to watch as well. If we had showed up with nothing but food we would have pretty much had everything we needed to cook and clean with. There was a fire pit and grill as well, but unfortunately there was a burn ban on. We would definitely go back 😀

Away from it all

Very quiet. Not a lot of people. The wild life were awsome. Looking over the river seeing deer run across river. Seeing the fish jump and animals on river bank. It was a great time to just relax.

Nature, wildlife, star-filled skies....

My sister, nieces and I had a wonderful time. The cabin was clean and welcoming after a long drive. With just a short walk, you were at the river’s edge. It was quiet with only the sounds of nature to lull you into a peaceful state. We floated down the river, where we were able to catch a glimpse of eagles!! The owner has canoes and will take you upstream for a float for a very reasonable fee. All in all, we had the best time and will definitely be back!

A very peaceful place

The cabin is rustic. 11miles (gravel road) from the main road. Its a ggod location to go to different crystal mines or just to stay and fish. We loved getting up and i had my coffee listening to the river. They have a crystal washing rack to clean your treasures. We saw deer everyday. Caught bluegill and a catfish (catch and release) overall its was a very peaceful stay. If your look for 5 star accommodation this is not your place. If you want a rustic beautiful place to enjoy nature then this is your place!

Had the River to ourselves

I under estimated the “gravel road to the cabin”. It was single lane gravel road with blind turns and hills. Luckily we saw more deer than people, it was still unnerving meeting someone on a turn coming at you head on. The cabin itself was cute and as described. The only complaint was the carpet that made it smell very musty. But for the short time we were there, we could handle it. The extra amenities were a nice touch! A rock wash and a community washer/dryer set up were well used during our stay. The river was a quick hike down the front yard. Our kids had so much fun fishing, swimming and exploring the river banks.

Cabin was good vintage style 1970s secluded area. Had window AC unit just in the kitchen/living room. No ac on downstairs bedroom, just a fan. Access to river is on a huge cliff,very difficult to go down the river and all the grown weeds and bushes didn't help. I liked the fact it has a washer and dryer on site with free laundry soap. We had our kayaks and were able to find a beautiful swimming beach. If you don't have a kayak, you will be disappointed with the river by the cabin. The cabin itself was cozy and cleaned.. Elderly and older folks will have a hard time going down to the river due to the massive cliff. Thank you host for the hospitality. The cabin was cozy and welcoming.
