The Crash Pad ~ Riverfront Retreat with Gameroom

**The Crash Pad has undergone updates effective 7/1/2025-
*Sleeps 4

Please read the entire listing before booking.

The Crash Pad is your adventure basecamp and hidden getaway overlooking the White River, with the added bonus of a gameroom for those days when you want to stick close to homebase.

Upstairs, you`ll find a newly renovated kitchen with stainless appliances that is open to a living area with sweeping views of the White River from the plentiful windows and sliding glass door that leads you to the covered porch. Also upstairs is a full bathroom with stackable washer dryer and tub/shower combo and a master bedroom with queen bed. On the ground floor you`ll find a separate gameroom where you can play board games at the pub table, snuggle up for a nap on the daybed, watch your favorite shows on the smart tv or challenge the kids to a game of ping pong. Outside you`ll find an enormous deck with a lounge area, cornhole, and enough room to have a cartwheel contest. The space also offers a propane grill and firepit.

The living area is upstairs and accessed by stairs. The gameroom is on the ground level and has a separate entrance, with no interior access between the two.

The Crash Pad sits on a bluff overlooking the White River, but does not have direct river access. It should be noted that the bluff is steep and caution should be used , especially with small children. Public river access is available at the boat launch just a few minutes away. The cabin is accessed by a gravel road that can be bumpy in spots and may not be suitable for vehicles with very low clearance. It`s not recommended for motorcycles.

There are three rental cabins that end of the gravel road private and share the riverfront acreage: The Crash Pad, Trout Run Lodge, and Little Fox Cottage.

Just over the bridge in Izard County, The Crash Pad is 5 minutes to Angler`s restaurant and fishing on the White River, 8 minutes to Walmart, 10 minutes to Town Square, and 20 minutes to Blanchard Springs.
