The cabin was great! Very clean, close to town but very private. The sound of the river running was very relaxing. We were looking for a relaxing stay and that’s exactly what we got. 5 min. From shopping and restaurants and just 15min. To the hot springs. My wife and had a great time we just wish we could have stayed longer. My only complaint is charging us to check in 2 hours early when the place was clearly empty, seems is a little greedy.

Outstanding High-End Cabin

This is an outstanding property. New, real log construction, high end furniture, even the dishes are high quality. The setting on the Arkansas river is beautiful and relaxing. It's a real treat to be able to do a VRBO at a place like this.

Short Stay-Cation

The cabin was amazing. It was peaceful and relaxing right on the river. We enjoyed all the small details in the decorations and furniture. Nothing could beat the warm sun on the wrap around deck. I was able to sit outside in the sun and read a book all day! Perfect.

We loved this rental. It was described as a "cabin" but it was really more like a lodge, with a wrap-around porch, beautiful cathedral ceiling, and fine detail throughout. The large grounds gave it fine privacy. The Arkansas River right below provided a fine sound effect during our stay. The views were great. My brother and sister-in-law came out to join us for my 80th birthday, and they loved it as much as my wife and I did. The location outside town but close was perfect.
