About this property

Close to everything!

Enjoy the view from the amazing deck of this quaint cabin high on the bluff overlooking the White River. The Ward cabin features two bedrooms and two baths with hardwood flooring throughout. The master retreat with private access to the large deck, features a jetted tub and a separate shower in the private ensuite bath. The views of the river bend and mountains from the deck and living room are breathtaking. Get up early and watch the eagles soar up and down the river while you drink your coffee. You can’t beat this cabin for a relaxing getaway to the White River region of the Ozark Mountains.

The large driveway allows for plenty of room for your boat. Local public boat access is in town about 4 blocks away.

From the cabin, walk to Main street and take in some shopping, a bite to eat, or stroll through the historic original part of town with historical markers. Enhance your walk by making your way to Rand City Park for some disc golf, easy trails, or by enjoying the shaded scenery and sounds of the creek flowing through the park!
