About Your Hosts

Bethesda Oasis is part of Bethesda Lake Resort & Cabins, a mountain destination created and owned by Michael and Jessica Myers.

Bethesda Lake has a rich history dating back nearly a century. The lake was constructed in 1925 and was intended to be the centerpiece of a resort development that included lakeside recreation and plans for a golf course. Unfortunately, the Great Depression halted those plans before the resort could be completed.

A few years later, the Watkins family purchased the property and operated what became known as Lake Bethesda Resort, building small cabins and opening the lake for seasonal swimming. The resort served as a local gathering place for many years before closing in the late 1960s.

Over the following 50 years, the property slowly fell into disrepair. The cabins were removed, maintenance declined, and the natural beauty of the lake and surrounding land became hidden beneath thick overgrowth.

In 2019, Michael and Jessica Myers—owners of Bethesda Springs Properties—purchased Bethesda Lake and the surrounding land with a vision to restore the property and bring new life to this historic destination.

Working alongside talented local craftsmen, they began restoring the land and constructing cabins designed to showcase the beauty of the lake and surrounding Ouachita Mountains.

Today Bethesda Lake Resort & Cabins spans more than 300 acres and features a growing collection of cabins around the lake. Additional mountaintop cabins are planned with views rivaling some of the most scenic mountain destinations in the country.

Bethesda Oasis welcomed its first guests in 2022 and was designed to provide a comfortable and memorable stay in this beautiful setting.

Michael and Jessica invite you to experience the property for yourself. The photos capture some of the beauty—but the peaceful setting and views of Bethesda Lake are something you truly have to experience in person.

Unique Benefits of This Property

Bethesda Oasis offers a unique blend of lake views, mountain scenery, and comfortable space for families and groups to relax and enjoy the Ouachita Mountains.

One of the biggest highlights of the property is its location overlooking Bethesda Lake, where guests can enjoy fishing, swimming, and complimentary kayaking just steps from the cabin while taking in peaceful views of the water and surrounding mountains.

The cabin was thoughtfully designed to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests, with multiple gathering spaces that allow families and groups to spend time together while still having room to spread out and relax.

Guests also enjoy a variety of on-site entertainment, including a private hot tub, video arcade, fire pit, and outdoor games like cornhole, making it easy for everyone to enjoy their stay without ever leaving the property.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Bethesda Oasis also offers abundant trailer parking and convenient ride-in access to the renowned Wolf Pen Gap ATV trail system just down the road, providing easy access to hundreds of miles of riding through the Ouachita Mountains.

The combination of scenic lake views, outdoor recreation, and a spacious cabin designed for group stays makes Bethesda Oasis a memorable destination for families and friends exploring the Ouachitas.
