About this property

SNOW'S LOG CABIN ON LAKE DARDANELLE ON DUBLIN BAY 🐟🦌

AUTHENTIC LOG CABIN: This cabin in located in Dublin, AR, 6.4 miles East of Scranton (15036 East State Hwy 197, Scranton, AR 72863), and adjoins Dublin Park/City Park, which is 2/10 mile (approx. 300 yards) from the cabin, where there is a boat dock and parking for your trucks and boat trailers while you fish. Ample parking for 3-4 trucks and trailers is also available at the cabin. Dublin Park/City Park is on Lake Dardanelle and has excellent fishing, skiing, tubing. and kayaking.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS: When you get to SCRANTON, go EAST on HWY 197 for 6.4 miles. The address is 15036 E State Hwy 197, Scranton, AR 72863. Your GPS may tell you that your destination is on the right when you reach a BLACK MAILBOX that says "Summers" . DO NOT TURN AT THE MAILBOX. Our cabin is the NEXT drive (about 100 yards further). At the entrance to the cabin (right-hand side of the road), you will see an ARKANSAS RAZORBACK rock sign that says "THE SNOW's". (If you get to Dublin Park, you've gone just a little bit too far. Turn around and go back to the first drive you come to.) Our neighbors at the black mailbox have two FRIENDLY dogs that like to visit. If they show up and if that's a problem, please call me.
THE CABIN was built in 2004 by Bobby Snow (my father), and has a wonderful cedar smell. It is 500 sq ft on the main floor and 250 sq ft in the loft. There are TWO queen size beds in the loft, so the loft will sleep 4 people. If you need additional space, you can sleep on the sleeper sofa (it pulls out). Sheets and pillows are provided. A small balcony is upstairs outside the loft door.
CABIN has a flat-screen television, DISH Satellite, and a DVD player.
No internet or WIFI. Good cell phone reception for AT&T phones. (We recently put in a cell phone booster thinking it would help ALL cell phone reception; however, it does not help TMobile because there is no signal for it to boost. You can go back up to highway (about 100 yards) or about 1/2 mile down the road to get reception.)
Floors are made of flagstone. There is a spiral staircase going up to the loft.
KITCHEN is fully equipped with stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, dishes, pots and pans, dish towels, dishwashing liquid, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, salt and pepper, etc. Please DO NOT pour grease down the drain. You can dump it outside in the trees. No washer, dryer, or dishwasher is available. You are responsible for your food and drinks. If you don't want to cook, there is a great little restaurant about 8 miles away called Porky's. There's also great hamburgers, salads, and daily specials at the 4-Way (gas station) in Scranton. They also have LIVE BAIT for your fishing.
OUTSIDE there is a pavilion that includes a gas grill and a picnic table. A fire pit is next to the pavilion for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Front porch includes a cedar rocker swing. Also, there are two hammocks that can be hung between the trees, and one chair hammock that can be hung on the porch.
BATHROOM has a shower (no tub), toilet, bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, hair dryer, etc.
We prefer NO PETS inside our cabin. (We've had a very bad experience with that.) Also, other guests may be allergic to animals.
AT THE END OF YOUR STAY...
Put all the dirty sheets, towels, etc. in the bathroom.
Clean up the kitchen and put the dishes away.
Take all left-over food with you or feel free to feed the animals.
We will take care of the trash. Please don't put it outside on the porch. Neighbor's dogs will get into it and will spread it all over.
Make sure heat/air is turned off, lights are off, and fans (including ceiling fans) are off.

The Great Escape
This log cabin is the real deal! Immediately walking in you can smell the delicious cedar in the air. The flagstone flooring is beautiful and was also easy to clean (I have little ones) after meal times. I was pleasantly surprised to find the kitchen fully stocked with everything you would hope to have for cooking/barbecue/meal times/marshmallow roasts. We celebrated our 4th of July here and watched fire works with everyone at the lake (less than a minute drive) and I think my son summed up our experience best when he said, “This is the best 4th of July ever!” The people in this town couldn’t be nicer or more genuine. The owners, Ruth and Bobby, are incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful with ideas for exploring the surrounding areas. If you are looking for peace and quiet- this little beauty is exactly what you need. At night I would sit outside listening to the woods and deer would walk right past the cabin. The fireflies were also a hit with my son. Of course it is the woods in the summer time so beware of the ticks. (We used deep woods + tick bug spray and shockingly never even had a single one.) It was so nice to be away from urban noise and light pollution! Thank you again Ruth and Bobby for sharing your happy place with us!

About the host

Hosted by Matt and Holly Born

Host profile image
Bobby Snow (owner) built the cabin in 2004. He did the majority of the work himself. He even cut the trees for the cabin! He was in the logging business and rock business and has recently retired.
Ruth Snow (wife) couldn't help much in the building process, but she sure had fun decorating it! She worked at POM Incorporated in Russellville for 35 years as their Controller. She retired in 2007 and has learned to live life to the fullest!
We have two married daughters and seven beautiful grandchildren ranging in ages 6-22. We also have TWO great-granddaughter who are 1 and 4! We have been blessed with such a wonderful family, and we have had many good times at the cabin. Needless to say, the grandkids love it, and we have made lots of good memories with them.

Why they chose this property

When you enter the cabin, you smell a cedar aroma that is absolutely wonderful. Every time we open the door, it still smells as good as it did when the cabin was built in 2004. It is so peaceful staying here. I love to lay out on the hammocks and listen to the birds or read a book. I've taken many naps out on my hammock (while Bobby prefers to nap inside the cabin). Bobby enjoys taking his boat out fishing and I like to walk over to Dubin Park and walk around the park, then walk back to the cabin. It's a good little work-out!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is truly an AUTHENTIC log cabin! . Bobby cut all the trees himself and had them squared and sawed into 20 ft lengths. He put glue between each log and screwed them together with 8 inch leg screws. The square upper window in the living room is made of 1/4" lexan which will never break. He had another guy help him with the handling of the logs when he built the cabin. He installed all the windows and the kitchen cabinets. We purchased the spiral staircase and had it installed. The best thing about our cabin is the CEDAR SMELL. I can't even describe how good it smells when you walk in.
