We stayed five nights wasn’t enough, very peaceful, quiet , great owners/hosts. 5 star stay!
This is definitely a cozy cabin in the woods. Very private and relaxing on the porch. We enjoyed the comfortable bed and sofa. The egg shaped porch swings are cool! It's just a short trip to Lake Hamilton or Lake Ouachita and it's an easy drive to Hot Springs for a day trip. The host is easily accessible and responsive. We are glad we stayed there.
Absolutely wonderful! We wanted a private place to stay that was dog friendly and close to where we needed our base to be. The cabin was very nice, we enjoyed ourselves and hopefully we can return again.
We enjoyed our stay in this very private cabin. The weather didn't cooperate. It rained every day and the power went off a couple times for several hours. No fault of the owner but this was the only negatives.
We immediately fell in love with this cabin. It was the perfect size for 2 and had everything that we needed. After a long day out it was so nice to come back and recharge. The surrounding property was amazing as well and gave the well needed encapsulated nature vibe with the comfort of knowing there was a gate to enter and exit the property. The ac/ heating unit was a little tricky in the bedroom. Often when on Auto during the night the heat did not kick on and woke up a couple nights to it being 64 degrees. Extra blankets were lovely to have but some thicker blankets would have topped it off! The shower curtain did not fit properly and it cause water to splash out on the floor....I was more so concerned the floor would get damaged and not the extra time it took to wipe up the floor. My only recommendation is that would have been nice to have new bug traps in the cabin. The ones in there when we got there were pretty covered. None of what I mentioned is nothing compared to the overall experience. We can't wait to come back!!!
