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.

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

We always love staying at the cabin in Calico Rock! We have probably stayed there 5 or 6 years in a row. The cabin in so cozy and the views are spectacular. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a cabin in this area!
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).
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.
We stayed at the cabin while it rained steady most of the day, what an experience! I love the fact it’s not busy in Calico Rock makes the visit that much more enjoyable!
Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the deck a little more. The views were amazing. Kitchen had everything we needed to grill out.
Well planned cabin for everything.
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!!!!
We enjoyed our stay, we always do enjoy relaxing in Calico Rock on the bluffs. Beautiful view, quiet peaceful enjoyed our stay at the cabin.
Tracy was the best at communicating and answering our questions 👍😊
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!
Very nice cabin. Great location. Close to boat dock and downtown. Beautiful views from covered deck. Clean and well stocked. Would definitely stay here again!
Great property right on the bluffs of the White River. The views from the deck were amazing. The property manager was great and everything went smooth. Can’t wait to come back!

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.
Our stay at Ward cabin was absolutely wonderful, as always. The view off the back porch is stunning and the cabin is always so clean and well equipped. We have stayed there many times and plan to return in the near future!
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!
