About this property

The Stargazer Cabin at Moonhull Mountain — hike-in, hike-out lodging on the OHT

Situated at the crossroads of an Arkansas backroad and the Ozark Highlands Trail, this cozy 2-bedroom cabin near Oark is set up for hike-in, hike-out accommodations on the OHT as well as bike-in, bike-out gravel grinding options for bike-packers (accessible by car too) and has an optimal location between the Mulberry and Buffalo Rivers, two of the most scenic float streams in mid America. The recently remodeled 2 BR / 1 Bath homestead blends traditional Ozark mountain living with modern style and convenience. From the charming porch swing to the artwork of Thomas Hart Benton, the Stargazer Cabin has an abundance of unique character. Whether you’re just out for a romantic getaway with your sweetheart or taking the whole family for a fun-filled weekend in the great outdoors, the queen and twin bed setup is versatile for a variety of travel needs, with all the essentials including washer and dryer. Last but not least, the wraparound deck is an unbelievable spot to relax while taking in the amazing beauty of the night sky… and if you’re lucky, make a wish on a shooting star. From hiking epic trails (Hawksbill Crag / Whitaker Point, Glory Hole Falls, Pam’s Grotto, OHT, etc) to grabbing a burger and a slice of homemade pie at the oldest General Store in Arkansas, the Stargazer Cabin at Moonhull Mountain is a great homebase for exploring the Ozarks.
