Family Escape in the Forest – Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Loft for Kids & Peaceful Views
Family-friendly cabin with stunning wooded views! Enjoy a private hot tub, full kitchen, and handcrafted details throughout—from vanities to light fixtures. Sleeps 8 with a king bed and two twin beds in the loft, a queen bed in the downstairs bedroom, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Each bedroom features a smart TV, and the twin beds in the loft include personal TVs with headphones for kids to enjoy their own shows. Cozy up by the electric fireplace or relax in the open-concept living area. With two full baths (one on each level), everyone has space to unwind. Step out onto the deck to soak under the stars or gather around the fire pit for s’mores and stories. A peaceful escape with thoughtful touches and custom charm—perfect for couples, families, or a group of friends looking to reconnect with nature in comfort.
The Road Less Traveled (Literally) Getting to our cozy cabin is part of the adventure! The road is unpaved, uphill, and has a few charming ruts that keep things exciting. You don’t need 4-wheel drive. Just a sense of humor and patience. Don't come in a low riding sports car or motorcycle.
During winter weather, things can get a bit sketchier than your ex’s excuses, so please check in with us first if you’re not rolling with 4WD. We’ll help you decide if you will be able to navigate the road safely.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It’s conveniently located just about 15 minutes from downtown Hot Springs, making it easy to explore while still enjoying a peaceful setting. The cabin was well-stocked with dishes and cooking utensils, which made meals simple and stress-free. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like coffee pods, ground coffee, snacks, and even a bottle of wine waiting for us—such a nice surprise! It truly made our stay feel extra special.
The cabin had plenty of room for all 6 of us to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The road up to the cabin is curvy and steep but the area is quiet and peaceful. Everything was clean and well stocked from extra blankets to kitchen staples.The owner reached out a couple of times due to weather which was very nice. We have already recommended the cabin to several friends.

Great guests. Left the place in great shape. Welcome back anytime.
Place was immaculate, amenities were beyond anything we could have expected, hot tub was awesome, nice private spot, check-in and out was super easy.Host is super accommodating and communicative.Will definitely visit again.
This is a great property. It has may more of the small things that makes a huge difference when traveling. Very clean, very nice deck, all around great experience!!
We absolutely loved this cabin. Even though there are neighbors close by, everything was very quiet and private. The cabin itself is beautiful and extremely clean. The hot tub on the deck was clean and worked perfectly. This place is a hidden gem and we will be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We enjoyed our time at the cabin. Nice scenic commute to parks and attractions. Peaceful and quiet Plenty of room for privacy with the hot tub. Plan to bring 3 kids next time. Communication with host was seamless.
Red Sunset Cabin was absolutely perfect for what we needed for our family and for my birthday trip. The cabin itself had privacy, beautiful scenery, a wonderful hot tub with antislip coating (jets get excited if the water gets a little low from use so definitely lower the cover when not in use just in case), plenty of seating throughout the home, and plenty of tv options for relaxed viewing. The home was well stocked with spices, utensils, coffee needs, and so much more. The front swing and firepit area was perfect for smores so don't forget your marshmellow sticks. The drive to the cabin is a bit steep but we had no problems at all in my Toyota Highlander. The directions to the cabin were precise and the owners were very easy to contact if needed. Ron Coleman Crystal mines and Hot Springs is just a 15min striaght drive from this location, so very easy to navigate. They also have a wonderful water sprayer to rinse your finds before heading home. The only thing that could have made it better for us would have been a slightly larger mattress in the individual room downstairs. Beyond that a perfect stay for us. Thank you for sharing your home and hospitality with us.

We are so glad you had such a wonderful time and got to experience some amazing things in our local area. Thanks for your kind comments on our accommodations. We strive to provide the best experience possible. We originally planned to have a king bed in the lower bedroom but it just took up too much space. We do hope you at least enjoyed the unique homemade frame of the lower bed which was made of split rail wood fencing. Thanks for your comments and we look forward to hosting you in the future.

We booked a weekend getaway and enjoyed our time away. There is a lot of great things about this property and a few not so great things. GREAT THINGSHome is clean and accommodatingLocation is close to townCabin is cozy and warmNOT SO GREAT THINGSNo washer or dryer Hot tub leaks like crazyNeighbors are VERY closeNot a private cabin in the woodsUpon check in, The door code that was provided to us did not work. We made several attempts to use the provided door code until it locked us out. The owner could probably see us through the ring camera at the front door, Owner called us and acted baffled as to why the door code didn't work, Luckily he had a key hidden that he directed us to. Washer and dryer are non existent, listing stated that the unit included a washer and dryerParking is very close to road way and neighbors house

We are happy that you enjoyed your stay but wish we had been able to fully accommodate your needs. Unfortunately mechanical things break beyond our control that have to be repaired. We ordered a new washer/dryer set last week but the delivery guys went to wrong address which delayed the delivery. It was installed yesterday. The hot tub motor developed a leak and is under warranty and being replaced tomorrow. Not sure why there was a problem with the door code as I went to check on it and it opened correctly. Yes there are houses in the vicinity but we have never experienced any problems or privacy issues with the neighbors. We provide a privacy fence for the deck and hot tub area. We do our best to accommodate every guest in the best way possible. Fortunately we provided instructions on how to use the hot tub by just adding some water occasionally and also an offer to take care of any laundry needs. Sorry for any inconveniences on your trip but rest assured these items have been repaired or in the process of being repaired this week.
Everything was exactly as described and the house was very clean! We loved the location. It was central to everywhere we went. We had an amazing trip and loved staying here!
We sure wish these renters had left a reason for the 8 rating. That way we could have known what to correct.
About the host

We are Steve and Jennie Rodgers. We are not a big conglomerate that owns many cabins but we own one at this time and looking to build a smaller cabin soon. We strive to provide that local getaway to our guests. We always try to provide a 5 star experience for the enjoyment of our guests.
Why they chose this property
When we found the property that is 3.2 acres on a dead end street on the top of a hill we knew we had found THE place. Located in rolling hills with a great view of mountains and sunsets we believe our guests will find a perfect quiet peaceful serene place to relax and unwind.
What makes this property unique
We provide a unique experience like non other. We have the first Arched Cabin experience in the Hot Springs vicinity. The open concept with 22’ ceiling and loft area is ideal for up to 8 guests. The doors, vanities, countertops, some lighting and other items are mostly all handmade to add to the experience..
