Stayed with my boyfriend for our 1year anniversary while we explored a little bit of Arkansas. Enjoyed being able to bring my separation anxiety ridden old dog with us, he goes everywhere we do and we had plants of space for us and his crate. The place was beautiful, quiet, and secluded!
Great place to stay for a private relaxing stay. Wonderful area. It was quiet wonderful woods to explore. Just far enough from town that you can run in if you need to. As of right now there is not a grocery store in Murfeesboro so plan accordingly. There is a Dollar General for some things if needed. The property and host were Awsome!!
It was a perfect cozy spot for our family outing. The "barndominium" had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It only looks like a barn from the outside, because once you're inside you feel like you're in a clean and newly finished cabin with modern amenities. We were there at an extremely hot time (highs were at 100 our entire stay) and the air conditioning unit worked wonderfully and was able to keep up. It's a very shaded area, too, so that helps. It is very dog friendly as the porch out front has dog gates so our dog enjoyed staying out there most of the time, and it's a great area to walk her around as well. The access to the lake was a huge plus, and we spent both late afternoons there so the kids could swim and cool off a bit. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a small family or small group of friends venturing to the Crater of Diamonds park. My only suggestion would be to change the lights in the chandeliers from a bright white to a more soft warm light color to help add to the cabin ambience.

Thank you for that kind and detailed review! It was a pleasure hosting y'all.
I loved this little house in the woods. Right next to a beautiful park with some hiking. It is up the mountain and does have some crazy roads so be aware. Also, if you are planning on going to Diamond Crater make sure to let the owner know before you go so they can have the supplies ready for you.
I would have to say that the stay was amazing and that it was everything we imagined it would be. The process was easy and easily able to find the place!

Thank you for your kind feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Keep an eye out for our newest cabin in Marshall Arkansas near the Buffalo River National Park. It will hopefully be available in the next few months. Follow us on Facebook at Parker Creek Bend Cabins for updates.
This was very well done and clean. Enjoyed our little stay here, even having WiFi & Streaming Prime way out in the woods. Only two things, 1) it’s close to neighboring cabin so while fire pit is private in back, if you have a rowdy group you don’t get to enjoy fire peacefully and 2) this is in a dry county! BYOB!
Otherwise, perfect for what we wanted and needed! Owner even dropped off some firewood for us.

Sorry for the lateness of this reply but thank you for your review and yes, if you want spirits, byob or visit Hot Springs. :-)
This property was secluded and perfect for a quick getaway. Everything was clean. Communication with owner was quick and easy. He provided diamond mining tools since rentals are normally closed. We left a screen to help out the next guest as well! He was INCREDIBLY accommodating since we had to reschedule, twice, due to COVID. No noisy neighbors. Perfect.
The listing itself is accurate, but if you're like me and printed the "rental agreement" after booking, please note that this agreement reflects the larger property next door, which includes a wash/dryer, stovetop, etc. It's clearly not intentional. Go by the listing, not any extra documents until the owner e-mails you with the actual rental agreement!
The internet was a "bit" spotty. It's to be expected, of course, but we couldn't even watch the provided Amazon Prime account. Come prepared with DVDs! The local Dollar General has a 24/7 Redbox if needed.
The cabin was beautiful. The trip was perfect. We desperately needed this during this time.

Thanks for your review! The issues you mentioned have been corrected except for WiFi as we are waiting on fiber optic data installation any day now.
Sorry for the lateness of this reply but thank you for your review! This cabin has not traditionally been equipped to cook since there is no kitchen. However, there is a microwave, mini-fridge with freezer and a coffee maker. And since your stay we have added some dishes, silverware, a single electric burner and some pots/pans.
We loved staying in this quaint and charming cabin! It was located close to downtown Murfreesboro, and to crater if diamonds park, which was the reason for our stay. The owner was very communicative and helpful. This cabin offered nice amenities for a great rate, no complaints as everything went smoothly during our stay! We would love to visit again and stay in the cabin!

Professionally I'm a chiropractor but I'm also a U.S. Army veteran having served both in an enlisted & officer capacity.
Although I grew up in the city and in the country, I'm country at heart. My favorite activities include motorcycling, backpacking, hiking, and camping.
My goal as a host is for my guests to have a 5-star + experience by exceeding their expectations.
My motto: "Live simply, Dream big, Be grateful, Give love, Laugh lots!"
Why they chose this property
The Americana cabin is dedicated in honor of our servicemen and women and is patriotically themed. This cabin is for couples or families who want to get away for a while to enjoy the outdoors, the nearby Lake Greeson or the Crater of Diamonds State Park and much more but have a private place to come back to after the day's adventures.
What makes this property unique
The Americana is larger than a typical hotel room but with similar amenities plus a living area to relax and watch TV or movies or listen to favorite music. It has a private covered deck to enjoy the outdoors even when the weather is a little inclement. The Americana is budget-friendly for a couple or a family up to 6.
