We are very lucky to have some happy guests. Read our reviews and book ASAP so your family does not miss out on a great vacation experience.

This gated private cabin that is located on a wooded lot on the footsteps of the Ouachita National Forest (3 miles from Mountain Habor on Lake Ouachita - a boating paradise (25mins from Camp Ozark!) this new cabin is the perfect location for a family getaway, peaceful weekend or a bass fisherman's dream-come-true! Every season is an ideal time to enjoy all that this location has to offer.

Watch


Steps meander down from the cabin's back deck to the edge of the mountain where you can explore and find untouched crystals. The world record striper was caught within 5 miles of the cabin and boat rental and fishing guide services are available. Fishing guide Wayne Compton is one of our favorites. Excellent lake and outdoor opportunities abound. Many hiking and biking trails are within 5 mins of the cabin. Several trails follow the Lake shoreline. We have maps to show all the different trails.

The interior of the cabin is extremely comfortable with two master suites - master with new king size bed, and upstairs bedroom, with a queen size bed and private bathroom. The upstairs,also, has loft bedroom, with a regular bed and a twin bed. The downstairs bedroom has French doors opening onto the back porch with a wonderful view of the Mountains, while the upstairs suite has it's own private balcony. So be ready to totally Disconnect , however, don't worry we have WIFI and Direct TV.

great base to explore the area
This was a great place to stay while we explored the area and dug for crystals. The house was perfect for our family of four. It was somewhat secluded but still easy to find. You can occasionally hear a loud car pass on the road below, but it was not loud. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable.

Beautiful cabin!
The cabin was very beautiful and nice. The location is between Hot Springs and Mount Ida. It was a bit of a drive each way. Only complaint would be that the cabin is right next to the highway which I didn’t realize until we got there.

Nature getaways
This was a perfect little out of the way cabin. It is a well equipped spacious rental. If you have kids that like to explore and dig this is the place for them! Crystal mining is close and a fun experience. Plenty of nature to enjoy! Great experience all around!

About the host

Hosted by Betsy Byers

Host profile image
We're all from Mt. Ida, and grew up spending family time on Lake Ouachita. We built this Cabin to be the family's private retreat closer to the lake, however some of our famly have moved away and the property isn't being used as often as we'd planned, so we'd like to share our little piece of paradise with others. We are open to suggestions to making it the best we can make it. We can't wait to hear what traditions and memories your family created!

Why they chose this property

This house is secluded enough to be serene but is conveniently located close to the lake. It doesn't get much better than this log cabin!

What makes this property unique

I love how this Cabin has all the comforts of home, yet is placed on top of a mountain with a great view, which the huge wrap around decks really take advantage of. I could (and often have) sit outside all day and night.
