Deepwood House, an Architectural Masterpiece on Kessler minutes away from U of A

Located on the crest of Mount Kessler, surrounded by forty acres of wooded hills and pastures, and engulfed in a tranquil forest of maples and oaks, Deepwood House provides an ideal retreat for small groups, families or individuals who desire a unique, private, and relaxing place to stay while visiting Fayetteville.

The award-winning architectural masterpiece, constructed in the Ozark tradition of cedar wood, stone, and glass, was designed by the late former University of Arkansas Architecture professor Herb Fowler, who aptly christened it 'Deepwood'.

The home is fully furnished and equipped, with a master bedroom and bath and two guest bedrooms sharing a second bath. All the floors are natural flagstone, which beautifully complement a massive stone fireplace dominating a cozy living room. It has a spacious deck nestled in a mature maple forest with views down into Fayetteville.

Deepwood House can accommodate up to six people. Parties or events are not allowed on the property.

Kessler trails are easily accessible for those who like to walk, bike, or run.

Deepwood House is so close yet a world away.

Perfect getaway in town
Easy trail access, architecturally unique cozy property. Quiet, in the woods, but close to town. Excellent fireplace. Splurge for the firewood if it’s cold. Can’t wait to see it in the spring.

Very Different but very unique stay
We had a very nice time at Deep Woods House. The home is very convenient for anything you might want to do in Fayetteville . It is, just as the name suggest, in the woods. It might be difficult to find if you are arriving for the first time after dark. The home was very clean on the inside. The house feels like an awesome cabin but it could use a little TLC on the outside. Pros: very unique, good location, Emily, the caretaker is very responsive and polite. Cons: the deck is not really safe for very small children. Be careful on the inside, there are a few tricky steps. They are however well marked. Final con, the master bedroom is not completely divided from the living area. The wall behind the Master bed does not go all the way to the ceiling. Again, we had a great time I just wanted to be completely honest for other renters.

Great Fayetteville Hideaway
Such a unique location and house near Fayetteville. Perfect location to be close to University of Arkansas, but feel like you are in a remote, serene and relaxing destination. Perfect for a family getaway to reconnect and spend quality time together. The host was very friendly and easy to contact and communicate with when you have questions about anything. The only negative I would say is that I wish when we arrived that the deck would have been clean and the leaves/branches swept off so it felt more inviting. There was a broom that we found so we cleaned off all of the decks ourselves. Just a small detail that should be considered. We would chose to return to this house again. We had a wonderful stay!

Memories made at Deepwood House
Our family has enjoyed the beauty of the Deepwood house over the years while our daughter was attending the University of Arkansas. It is a special place to unwind, reunite, celebrate holidays, and honor milestones like graduation. Emilie is a wonderful host and has always made us feel welcome and ensured this special home was ready for our arrival. We have enjoyed having family dinners on the deck overlooking the beautiful scenery of this Natural State. We are grateful to the Butt family for sharing their historic and unique home.

Amazing, natural, time capsule of a home
This place is amazing. Be sure your car is not low to the ground, as you must drive on a dirt road to get to the property. The hosts were wonderfully accommodating. I absolutely love the guest book. Our hiking plans got rained out so we enjoyed the house all day playing games we brought. The home is stunning and incorporates nature at so many details. It was so lovely.

This place is special
Traveled to Fayetteville for a football game and have tried to stay in a number of unique places this season. This is, and will remain, at the top of the list. This property is a destination in itself. The hosts were great and very responsive

Still great.
This was my second stay at this property. It is a hidden gem on Vrbo. It is a historical treasure and architectural masterpiece. There’s no way to be disappointed in this place. So glad I was able to stay here again and hope can return as soon as possible.
