About this property

Relaxing Cabin At the edge of The Woods, Near The National Forest, Furnished.

Private and charming Ouachita Mountain cabin With 1 queen bed, 2 singles, queen size pullout couch, Jacuzzi Bath, Open Concept Floorplan With Fireplace—near Mena, AR.

This wonderful cabin is your private retreat in the woods, yet just 3.5 miles on pavement to Mena, AR. It features a fully equipped kitchen with pans, utensils, dishes, paper goods, and linens. Large Jacuzzi bath with complimentary shampoo and body wash, and a separate shower. Cozy fireplace in living area with dvd player and large collection of movies! There is a sun-porch with views of the wooded hillside. In back is a private deck, with flowers, bird feeders, and lots of wooded hillside. Privacy with peace and quiet!.

The cabin sits on several wooded acres, near the border of the Forest Service, and only about 150 ft. from the County Road 402, which is a picturesque way to ride into the National Forest and to Wolfpen Gap, one of the largest trail parks in the state.

We are just 5 minutes from the charming county seat town of Mena, with its nice art district, antique shops, good restaurants, and old-timey downtown with the original buildings from the time the railroads were built and the town was born. We have a grocery, dollar stores, Walmart, a live theater, movie theater, and lots of festivals.

The open concept living room's focal point is a cozy fireplace (it’s gas, an easy way to take the chill off on cool evenings as well as contribute to the cozy ambiance). There is a queen-size canopy bed downstairs as well as two singles upstairs. With the pull out sofa on the sun-porch, there is room for up to six people to stay. We have a Pack-n-play if a baby is a guest too!

There is a flat screen TV (no cable) with DVD and VCR with a large selection of movies! Of course, there is Internet access too, and a desk with chair to do work if you need to.

The charming country kitchen has a view of the living area so whoever is doing food prep can be part of the group. And, the kitchen is equipped with full-size refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, convection oven, coffeemaker, toaster, dishes, and pots and pans. We also stock basic staples such as coffee, sugar, tea, salt and pepper. The local water here is so good you will not need bottled water, and has been tested periodically for safety.

The quiet, paved county road 42 is good for hiking, biking, or just a leisurely stroll after supper to enjoy nature. The beautiful Bethesda Lake is just a few feet up the road and is as beautiful as a park as you walk by.

If you like wildlife watching, just sit outside on your deck (or simply look out any window from your sun-porch) in the morning or maybe at sunset and don't be surprised if you see squirrels and birds watching you.

As owners, we take pride in keeping the cabin up to your expectations. We have long-term trusted housekeepers who love cleaning the cabin just for you. We have been the owners for 20 years, and our goal is to do all we can to ensure your visit here is pleasant.

Activities; Just a half hour to crystal clear Cossatot River, swimming, fishing, tubing. Just minutes to Walmart and theater and shops, including art galleries and antiques. You can ride your ATV from the cabin through the Ouachita National Forest about 6 miles to the WolfPen Gap trails; or trailer ATV and take highway to the Wolfpen Gap trails.

Guestbook is filled with nice comments from guests who were pleasantly surprised and delighted. Also check out our VRBO #4035864.

Nice Hideaway in the Woods

Really cute place to stay, surrounded by trees. The inside of the house was nicely decorated and quite clean, with the kitchen having what we needed for an overnight stay. Although we would have liked to sit on the back porch, it was not too clean. Despite that factor, we very much enjoyed the stay. It was a bit difficult to locate the property due to being set back in the trees, however, if you pay attention to the written directions, it should be easier to find.

Best Cabin Ever!

We had the greatest time being in this cabin for the eclipse. It’s cozy and quaint. It has many accommodations. It’s right next to the US Forest ATV Trails for off road vehicles. We even got to barbecue nice steaks. We will be back!

Perfect little getaway

There were many little things about this place that made it worth the stay from the visit from the owner to give us a tour once we arrived to all the little notes that explained how to work the lamps and where to find items needed.

Quick Mommys' retreat

My best friend and i needed a quiet place to unwind and just relax without being needed and overstimulated. This was the most perfect getaway. Secluded but not too remote as there is multiple restaurants and stores within driving distance. We'll definitely come back.

Anniversary getaway

We enjoyed the cabin very much. If it would’ve been warmer weather, I’m sure we would’ve had some fires in the fire ring. It was a little challenge to find but after that everything went very smoothly. Cute place. Thanks.
