Weekend getaway

The second bed room is outside up the stiars no convenient when its pouring rain all day. No water pressure in the shower. And if you have ATT you will have no cell service. The tv is in the kitchen so you can not watch it from the living room.

Great vacation getaway

Cozy cabin right on the river with lots of amenities. Some of our most enjoyable moments were sitting on the back porch swing watching and listening to the river(in march so the river was full of fast moving water and the neighbors where doing some fly fishing), sitting on the front porch rocking chairs, using the mining tools at the Crator of Diamonds state park where we also hiked some trails, and just slowing down and unwinding. On the last day we went to the Riverside picnic area at the Narrows dam just a few min drive and enjoyed the playground and fishing that it had to offer. Some things to note, the stairs to the second floor are outside but not a hassle, and we brought our own charcoal for the grill. We brought our own food because there is not many options in the small town near by. Overall we really enjoyed it, the host was accommodating, and we would recommend this place to stay.

This is the cutest cabin. We loved sitting on the porch overlooking the river. It was quiet and peaceful. We saw deer. It wasn't far from town either.

Weekend with family

Property was nice and as listed. Cabin was clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed our trip. I recommend writing the door code down prior to arrival as we did not have phone service. The internet provided was fast and we were able to connect our phones to the wifi

The cabin was perfect for our family. Clean and had all the necessary amenities. It is right on the beautiful river which can be enjoyed while sitting on the back porch swing or hammock. Thanks for an incredible stay.

Fall Break with Grandchildren

My husband and I took five of our grandchildren, ages 5 -16, to stay at this adorable cabin for six days. The cabin was a little smaller than I had anticipated with all these children, but they loved it! They had the best time playing in the river and playing in the front area! We also made smores in the firepit and roasted marshmallows. The deck overlooking the river was a favorite of everyone, but we had to take kitchen chairs outside to accommodate everyone, because only four were provided. The kitchen had everything we needed except a drain basket for clean dishes (no dishwasher) and the coffee cups were just too small. We remedied that by buying some disposable cups. The washer and dryer were very handy and got a lot of use. Our hosts were extremely gracious, and while we didn't need to call them for anything during our stay, I feel sure they would have taken care of any issue. I gave the cabin 4 stars over all because there was no dishwasher and no good way to drain dishes. I used lots of paper plates, although there were enough dishes had I chosen to wash them. Great TV service, but sometimes phone texts and pictures would not go through--not an issue. We made some great memories!

Wonderful time

We had a wonderful time, the kids enjoyed being so close to the river they got to play in the water, it was very clean, very accommodating, nice that it had the towels, soap, laundry on site. The owners were easy to contact and answered all questions. Kitchen had everything you could have needed. If we come back to the area we will stay here again. Kids did not want to leave.

The cabin was perfect. Very clean and well stocked. Sitting out on the back porch was exactly what I needed. The woods and water was so calming and pretty. The only negative was I couldn't stay longer. Thanks for everything.

It was very clean. A great cabin to stay in on the river. It was better than the pictures depict! The hammock, outdoor lights, comfortable furniture, great a/c and everything you need on hand! The host replied quickly to any questions. On a scale of 1-10 it was 10+! Hope to return someday!

Wonderful!

My family enjoyed the cabin gretly! My oldest loved that the upstairs was seperate, but I liked that you could open the hatch and still hear what was going on up there. Laying on the hammock and listening to the river was peaceful. We really appreciated the mining equipment as we did not have to rent any when we went diamond hunting! Thank you again!

Beautiful riverfront

We enjoyed our stay and everything was pretty much what you'd expect for a quaint country cabin on the river. The back deck was our favorite place, especially in the mornings with coffee. Our only issue was not knowing ahead of time that the 2nd floor was only accessible by going outside. In fact, this likely would have steered us to explore another place to stay. Overall, we enjoyed our trip here.

Great cabin…..

The cabin was as described and very clean. Just a little disappointed with the town of Murfreesboro, AR. Not a lot lot to do besides dig for diamonds and no good restaurants to speak of. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Henley

Host profile image
Found at the end of Old Factory Site Road (just a few minutes drive from downtown Murfreesboro, Lake Greeson and Crater of Diamonds State Park), the Henley family offers a secluded cabin on the banks of the Little Missouri River.

Why they chose this property

The cabin sits high on a rocky bank with a large shaded deck facing the water and dense woods. On the deck, you will find a BBQ grill, table for four, hammock and porch swing to relax in while the river flows below. Inside is room to sleep eight, upstairs and down, with a separate bedroom downstairs, pull-out sleeper sofa and two baths. A full kitchen with ceramic counter-tops, refrigerator, JennAir stove, microwave and coffee maker. You'll also find satellite and three flat screen televisions.

What makes this property unique

The 'Old Factory Site' refers to a water driven mill that was located just upstream from the cabin in the mid 1800's. There was once a community, then known as Royston, at the site. The huge timber grid of the mill's 160+ year old foundation can still be seen in the river (a short walk away).
