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.
