About this property

Jack's Bend~ A Guest Cottage ON Sylamore Creek

Jack's Bend is the guest cottage for the larger cabin, Jane's Bend. Conveniently located between Court Square and Blanchard Springs, Jack's Bend is perched on a bluff overlooking South Sylamore Creek. Offering a stone fire pit overlooking the creek, a hammock for two, and a private deck with grill you'll find the perfect place for a getaway in Mountain View.

Jack's Bend cabin has one bedroom with queen bed and one full bathroom with tub/shower combo as well as a queen sleeper sofa and dining table with seating for four.

**Because it located is on a bluff, this cabin may not be suitable for small children. The firepit is atop the bluff and the steps leading to the creek are steep, which can be unsafe for those with mobility issues. The creek access landing at the bottom of the steps is small and does not provide a beachy area, though it's the perfect place to hop in for a swim or take off on a float.

This cabin is pet friendly- with $50 pet fee (2 dogs max). Please let me know at booking if you plan to bring a dog. House Rules for dogs apply.

~linens and towels
~cookware and servingware

~soap and shampoo

~firewood- BYO kindling

*There is no dishwasher or washer/dryer at this cabin

I'm available by call, text or email as needed between 9AM and 9PM.

Jack's Bend is located in a quiet neighborhood about halfway between Blanchard Springs and Court Square and offers private direct access to Sylamore Creek via steep and narrow stone steps, which may not be suitable for small children or those with mobility issues. Most of the area attractions are nearby. Other homes are visible from the cabin, including "Jane's Bend," the separate main cabin on the property. Please inquire if you're interested in renting both cabins.

Jack's Bend is accessed by a county-maintained gravel road, which may become impassable in winter conditions. Otherwise all cars (but not motorcycles) make the drive just fine.

Immaculate and convenient

5 miles from town is close enough if you need something yet far away enough to “feel” away. The area is rural and the fire pit of the cabin looks out over a meadow and Sylamore Creek. The cabin is clean, the kitchen well stocked, and the cabin has great lighting inside. My husband and I spent early mornings on the front porch drinking coffee, listening to the birds, and watching the squirrels. This is our second stay.

Cabin in the woods.

Quite a distance from town. Big hill to drive up and down. Fridge and microwave quit working. Otherwise, a very nice place to stay.

Wonderful to be right on the creek. Property was clean and attractive. For the cost, it would be nice to have access to the kayaks etc available to the larger cabin next door. Loved the location close to mt view and definitely plan to return and check out the other properties.

Cabin was just the right size for get away for my husband and I. Had everything we needed and a few nice touches we didn't expect. Love the key-less entry! Beautiful location in area with only a few other houses close by. Will stay here again

Honeymoon Experience

The cabin met our needs very nicely. We love North Arkansas. The people and the landscape are beautiful. My only caution would be for motor cycle guests. The roads leading to the cabin would be difficult for cruisers or touring bikes as they are not paved. We had a wonderful time.

You cannot go wrong booking with fireside rental. Our trip was so stress free. The cabin was beautiful and clean the owner keeps in contact if you message with any questions. I honestly have never delt with nicer people I really can't say enough good things about our whole experience.

Anniversary Weekend

What an adorable cabin with all the comforts of home! Husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway cabin away from life’s hustle and bustle and boy did this cabin fit the bill! I would love to know the history of this cabin.

Not What We Hoped For

My husband and I spent one night in this cabin while on a 12 day road trip. I am usually satisfied with VRBO listings and have rarely made any negative comments. However, as soon as we entered the cabin it was clear the cabin is not used often because it had a very musty odor. I do have allergies therefore left the next morning with swollen eyes due to the dampness of the air. We found 2 spiders in the bathtub as soon as we turned on the lights. I understand the cabin is in a remote setting but I do not feel the rental price matched the quality of the home. This home should be listed at a much lower price with a more rustic description. In all we were very disappointed.
