Secluded River Cabin Retreat with Outdoor Bathhouse and Kayaks

Looking for a place to get away from it all? Don't want any neighbors nearby? Our Cabin-in-the-Woods is the perfect retreat for anniversaries, honeymoons, or just a quiet place to escape by yourselves. Enjoy views of the river and Ouachita Mountains from the wrap around porch while you drink your morning coffee. Swim, kayak, tube, or paddle boat in the wide section of river at the base of the steps. Hike some trails through 80 acres of pine forest and hills. Enjoy bathing in the outdoor bathhouse while enjoying the secluded view. There is no chlorinated pool, but the clear river and bathhouse are even better!

The deck includes a grill and patio furniture, as well as two porch swings and chairs. There are 118 steps down to the river since the cabin sits high above the surrounding hills. The views on the way down are beautiful, and the hike on the way back up will leave you breathless! :-)

Both sides of the river are part of the property, and no other cabin or home sits on the 80 acres to help provide that true secluded get-away experience! The property enjoys 1/3 mile of riverfront and has about 4 miles of private trails.

Note: This cabin is also listed for up to six people in another listing for a higher rate. This listing and lower rate are provided separately since we assume that a couple will require less cleaning and lower wear and tear for our cabin. Ask us about our honeymoon discount.
Dogs for couples only will be considered if they do not shed, do not chew or scratch, and will be kept clean. A pet fee is required. Contact owner before booking.
The final 1/2 mile to the cabin is a rough dirt road. A small suv or truck is recommended, but a car should be okay if the weather is dry. This is a cabin in the woods, so even though we strive to keep it very clean, you may encounter some spiderwebs, bugs, and other nature.
Three security cameras are located outside. Two point at the driveway area, and the other points toward the river. They may be turned off (if they aren't already off).

Fantastic!
This was everything we hoped for and more! The place is fantastic, the vibes are immaculate. If you want to get away in a comfortable way, this is the spot!! Mr. Todd was a very excellent host and the property is fantastic for nature lovers who want somewhere cozy to return to at the end of the day. Great for a small group to spend time with each other away from the hustle and bustle of daily life!

The property is amazing. The host was very helpful. The river and outdoor area of this place are fantastic. We spent all of our time either on the water or on the decks.

Perfect
If you want to get the heck out of town, go here. Seclusion. Water. Views. Hiking on property. If you want a workout go down to the river 3 times a day and forget something down there that last trip. Those stairs made me and my dog feel really old. It was well worth it. My son fished most of the day, from sun up til dinner. If you or your teen likes to fish, you won’t be disappointed. He fished what seemed like countless spots just walking the trails on the bank. He spent the better part of 2 days paddling up and down as far as he could on the Kayak. We spent a rainy day on the arcade game (bring spare change, $5 in quarters lasted hours) and playing shuffle board in the loft bedroom. I should also mention with cell service at a minimum, the wifi did its job. We were able to text, email, and most importantly stream shows each night. I know it sounds bad when you have such amazing stargazing, sounds and natural beauty around you, but these are the times we live in. I know I personally want to know this specific detail before I book an extended visit. I hope there is a next time and I hope others take advantage of such a great property.

This property was everything I envisioned based on the photos, plus some! The cabin was spotless and had the best stocked kitchen I've seen. The property was beautiful and trails were clean. They literally have thought of every need here!

Weekend away with friends.
We loved everything about this place. The host was very communicative and accommodating. The seclusion and tranquility was amazing. It was 100+ degrees the entire time, so we very rarely left the river. The stairs down/up from the river are definitely not for the faint of heart. We would definitely book again.

Beautiful seclusion
We wanted complete seclusion and to be on the water. We got both. We didn't see another person the entire stay. The owners were very accommodating about our dogs. We have two big dogs and are both very well behaved. We like taking them with us when we go on vacation. Its hard to find anyone that will allow two big dogs. Our rottie absolutely loves the water. It was hard to get her to want to come out of the lake. The property is so beautiful. And a wonderful reminder of how much God loves us. There is a cross with a bench to sit on in front of it close to the cabin. That was a nice touch. We will definitely be back again.

Amazing Solitude and Tranquility
We recently spent 4 nights at the cabin and we cannot express enough how wonderful we found everything to be. The location was ideal and everything was exactly, if not better, than described in the listing. The host communication was excellent and the cabin guide provided was impressive in it's detail and scale. We did not see or hear another person our entire stay there. We hiked all 5 miles of the trails, tubed the river, kayaked the river and floated the river over and over again. The deck spaces and views were amazing and our only complaint was the excessive heat limited our activities. We plan to return during a cooler season. The cabin was immaculately clean and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with pantry staple items. It was very hard to leave and we are already planning another visit.

Anniversary Getaway
My husband and I spent 4 nights here celebrating our 17 year anniversary, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The location was wonderfully secluded where we could spend time with just us. The kitchen was well stocked, as were essential items like toilet paper, paper towels, spices, etc. The outdoor bathhouse was such an awesome addition. We didn't even use the indoor shower! I had to text Todd a couple of times, and he was super responsive and helpful. He even came out while we were away to fix the ladder at the water after it broke during our stay. When we weren't out crystal digging, we were kayaking on the river and fishing or swimming. It was such an awesome visit, and we hope to bring our kids to Thunder Mountain in the near future! We really think they'll love it just as much as we did!
