Amazing location with convenient access to OHV trails! The lake was amazing and a favorite hangout for the kids. They couldn't get enough fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding when we weren't on the trails. There was plenty of firewood provided for evening bonfires. The house was clean with a well appointed kitchen. My daughter said the beds "felt like clouds". The owner was attentive and very responsive. This was the perfect rental for our adventures!

Beautiful and serene

I was there on business with a co-worker. The cost of renting this home was less than two hotel rooms in town. The location is quiet and peaceful. The home is awesome. I highly recommend staying here!

Family vacation

We had the absolute best time. The host was very communicative and prompt. The cabin was clean and so close to the water. We loved using the kayaks. We will be returning in the future!

Great relaxing stay

The property is beautiful. My wife and I had a great stay. The hot tub was a plus and the fire pit was a plus. There were lots and lots laddie bugs in the cabin when we arrived. From what I read online this is a normal occurrence for homes in this region during late fall. I was able to re-home many of them to outside the cabin.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin on the lake! Our family of nine fit comfortably, and from the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful and relaxing. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out yet still enjoy being together.The lake views were breathtaking, calm in the mornings with mist rising, and beautiful at sunset. We spent hours by the water, enjoying the quiet, and also had so much fun swimming, kayaking, and exploring. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and activity.What made this trip so special was how family-friendly the whole experience was. Whether we were gathered around the fire at night, sharing meals together on the deck, or just laughing and playing games inside, it felt like the cabin was designed for making memories.It was truly a beautiful, fun, and refreshing getaway for our entire family. We left feeling recharged and grateful, and we’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend!

A New Favorite

My usual Arkansas getaway is camping in the Ouachita National Forest or Ozark National Forest, finding trails to run in the old Land Cruiser, or fly fishing the tailwaters up at Norfork and Bull Shoals. The wife and I were looking for a few days to just get away from work and the chores at home and came across the Bethesda Pointe cabin at Bethesda Lake Resort & Cabins. We love experiencing a good cabin. We are planning to build our forever home and always look forward to getting inspired by the places we stay. The design and natural features offered at this resort seemed to check all the boxes for us. The finishes in this cabin are top notch (and that’s an understatement). Wonderful floor plan for a couple, or entertaining family. My wife and I are suckers for this “Mountain Modern” trend and the builders and designers nailed it. I could go on and on, but I think it’s pretty obvious we enjoyed ourselves and plan to be back. Michael was an amazing host. Very responsive. And when he wasn’t available, someone on their team was ready to respond to any questions. Excellent management. My wife and I could tell there was someone with hospitality experience, or just a good understanding for what creature comforts people enjoy having when renting. From the Roku TV and reliable internet so you can sign right in to all of your favorite apps, to the “omg so soft” make-up towels as my wife described them. I’m a pretty tall guy and even took the first sit down bath I’ve probably taken in years thanks to that Cadillac of a bath tub. The kitchen has pretty much any utensil, pot, or dish you’ll need for grilling, cooking in the kitchen, and serving. That’s always nice. We’ve rented places that had little more than a plastic ladle and a grilling fork in the past. Not much you can can get done with that. The private lake with kayaking and fishing, fire pit, hot tub, the nearby hiking and OHV trails at Wolf Pen Gap, etc., are just the icing on the cake. We even found a couple of neat restaurants in Mena. Great experience all around.
