We had a amazing stay. The cabin was clean, quiet, and super cozy. The dock was perfect for fishing or just sitting and watching the water. A perfect fishing weekend getaway for my kiddos 9th birthday!

Amazing Cabin!

This property is amazing. From the cedar log cabin to the riverfront property it sits on, this place is always a go-to spot for us to stay at! This place truly allows you to escape to a quiet spot on the river and just relax.

Peaceful river view

Even in July the temperature in the area never go so hot that you could not enjoy relaxing on the back porch watching the river flow by. Cabin was excellent and the stay was relaxing.

Family fun and relaxation at the Trumpeter

We love the casual luxury and coziness of the trumpeter lodge. The beds are super comfy and the screened porch make even rainy days a joy while watching the river roll by. The fish weren't biting, but all the other wildlife kept us entertained for a perfect family weekend.

The cabin was awesome. Great location, cabin feel with all modern conveniences

Took my friend and 3 boys for the weekend. We didn't want to come home. The cabin is a perfect place to get away no matter what season. We loved kayaking off the dock and chillin out on the screened porch. Beautiful place and great experience. We'll be back

Cabin is beautiful! Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. 10/10 for the cabin. The only concern was that it’s a little difficult getting down the stone steps to the river. Caution is needed. I misread the listing and thought the dock would be available for our boat and it was not. There was a boat in the slip. Nonetheless, we had a good time.

Enjoyable weekend

House was immaculate! Family was very impressed with details. Beds extremely comfortable. The only drawback was the fish did not cooperate but you can't control everything! Would do again.

Caught the big one!

Relaxing and a great time with family. Our granddaughter, a nursing student at UAMS caught lots of fish and a “ 22 inch German Brown” trout. Was so excited, and still is. Looking forward to our next trip to Trumpeter Lodge. Also enjoyed the daily visit of deer in our front yard.

We came into town with plans on staying at a friends house. When we arrived, it was a disaster! I quickly got online and found this property.

Total solar eclipse.

Had a great trip and stay to see the total solar eclipse from the wonderful back terrace with natural flagstone and a fire pit. We had a bit of unexpected plumbing problem, but the manager and owner responded immediately for a quick fix. The couches and beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, wonderful big dining table. The house decor is like a very nice lodge. Outside, we enjoyed the terrace and views of the Little Red River and from the floating dock. Neighborhood along the river was quiet and peaceful. The eclipse was amazing. All of us, wife, daughter, and son-in-law had a great trip. Owner and property manager were very responsive and considerate.

Trumpeter Lodge has a GRAND VIEW and full of NATURAL BEAUTY

We loved our stay at Trumpeter Lodge. The place is fabulous and beautifully designed(it has all the modern comforts). The view of the Little Red River and all the nature surrounding it is stunning. We fished off the dock in the morning and enjoyed watching kayakers and boaters on the river throughout the day. We utilzed the fire ring area nightly( make sure to bring some wood like we did) and used the outside charcoal grill a couple of evenings. We made such great burgers one night we decided to call them the "Trumpeter Burgers". Again, this place is full of nature and super comfortable.
