About this property

Close to everything!

Enjoy the view from the amazing deck of this quaint cabin high on the bluff overlooking the White River. The Ward cabin features two bedrooms and two baths with hardwood flooring throughout. The master retreat with private access to the large deck, features a jetted tub and a separate shower in the private ensuite bath. The views of the river bend and mountains from the deck and living room are breathtaking. Get up early and watch the eagles soar up and down the river while you drink your coffee. You can’t beat this cabin for a relaxing getaway to the White River region of the Ozark Mountains.

The large driveway allows for plenty of room for your boat. Local public boat access is in town about 4 blocks away.

From the cabin, walk to Main street and take in some shopping, a bite to eat, or stroll through the historic original part of town with historical markers. Enhance your walk by making your way to Rand City Park for some disc golf, easy trails, or by enjoying the shaded scenery and sounds of the creek flowing through the park!

Peaceful Beauty

The peaceful surroundings and friendly people of Calico Rock make this a wonderful getaway. We sat out on the deck just to be quiet and enjoy the scenery and silence. Only sounds are an occasional car, birds, the river running, leaves rustling in the breeze, a distant dog bark. The house has all we needed.

Amazing View of River

The location was very close to the little town. The cabin is in need of some TLC (dusting, filter changes, gutter cleaning, internet service repair, new Roku or fire stick).

Mini Getaway

It was a short trip just to get away and relax after a very stressful start to school year. The place was amazing and offered the perfect atmosphere to just relax, unwind and destress. We made a trip to Mountain View which was a beautiful drive and offered many places to eat.

Perfect Getaway Place

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our Anniversary somewhere near Mountain View. We decided on this location and I’m so thankful that we did! Its location on the bluff literally gives you the “million dollar view” I cannot express how clean and beautifully decorated this little cabin was. We will definitely be back!!!!

Perfect family getaway

This cabin is absolutely perfect. Our family loved every minute. The cabin was very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfy and although I was tempted to sleep in, I just could not wait to get up and go out to the deck each morning.The views from the back deck are breathtaking. The pictures just do not do it justice. One morning my husband watched 2 huge eagles soaring overhead come right down and land in the tree right next to the deck! We also enjoyed going into town and having breakfast at the Printing Press Cafe and had Jenkin’s fishing service take us out to trout fish. It was the perfect peaceful little place. Mountain View is just a short drive so we felt like we were close enough to all the restaurants and activities there as well. We hope to come back soon!

Great place for my wife and me. It is close to everything. Printing Press cafe has awesome breakfast and great coffee. The cabin was clean. Everything handy. View is fantastic. Only about 15 minutes from Norfork Brewing. Killer pizza and beer. Would highly recommend this place for a couple or small family. Will likely rent this property again soon.

Breathtaking views

My family and I spent Thanksgiving giving in beautiful Calico Rock. This cabin is cozy, comfortable and well stocked with everything you’d need and more. I was able to prepare and make a full thanksgiving meal without bringing anything additional from home. The crockpot is an added bonus and I would throw dinner in to cook while away during the day exploring. The views are unmatched here. Stunning sunsets, mountains and views of a ranch across the river. My toddler loved to sit outside and listen to the cows moo-ing. Highly recommend this property for a peaceful escape from the business of life!
