About this property

Lost Cabin at the Creek

We purchased The Lost Cabin at the Creek in May of 2020 and are fully committed to providing the highest level of service. We have upgraded the property for more enjoyment for our guests. We hope you will love your stay as much as we do when we can escape to The Lost Cabin at the Creek!

THE CABIN
This beautiful property is called The Lost Cabin at the Creek because it is an excellent place to disconnect, escape and relax. The creek provides great opportunities for fishing, swimming, exploring, viewing wildlife, and generally enjoying the outdoors. The cabin was constructed in 2013 and provides two bedrooms, a sleeping loft, bathroom with shower, well equipped kitchen, gas log fireplace, screened-in back porch, hot tub, charcoal grill, fire pit, and all the amenities necessary to enjoy your stay. The cabin sleeps 6 people with both bedrooms having queen size beds. The loft is furnished with 2 twin beds.

THE PROPERTY
The Lost Cabin sits directly on 600 feet of the banks of Lick Creek, running the entire length of the property. The creek is spring fed and runs year round. On the back of the cabin is a screened-in porch which leads to the outside deck and a 4-person hot tub. All of these areas provide great views of the creek. Next to the back porch is a cooking and entertainment area that includes a charcoal grill with outdoor seating, and a fire pit (wood provided). The outdoor entertainment area gently slopes down to water for easy creek access. The creek has formed a natural swimming and fishing area. The land across the dirt road is a part of Lost Cabin at the Creek property, so please enjoy the amenities there as well. The swimming hole is across the dirt road. Rushing water over the rock formation provides relaxing sounds and another great area to enjoy the creek.

AREA ACTIVITIES
Black Springs is located 1-1/2 miles from Norman, AR. There is plenty to see and do while in the area. Lake Ouachita, Lake Hamilton, and Lake Greeson are all within a 30 minute drive; each of which provide great fishing, boating, and water sports. Favorite activities in the area include: Tubing the Caddo River, hiking trails, kayak & canoe rentals, fishing, golf, bird watching, wild life viewing & photography, sailing, horseback riding, digging for diamonds at the Arkansas State Diamond Mine in Murfreesboro, quartz crystals in Mount Ida, and massages at the Hot Springs National Park Spa Houses. All of these opportunities are generally within a 15 to 45 minute drive of the cabin. A quick online search will uncover much more.

This is a quiet place tucked away in the woods with a running creek perfect for exploring. Between the fire pit, hot tub, and screened in porch there are many ways to enjoy the outdoors. A perfect little getaway spot!

AMAZING!!!
We planned a get away trip here to Arkansas and this cabin was the one we picked for our vacation. It was AMAZING! We loved everything about it! It was cozy, tranquil, and a trip we'll never forget! The creek running through was beautiful, and enjoyable right along with the cabin. Very accommodating and great host. We highly recommend and would love to visit again!

We absolutely LOVE this place!
We try to stay here as often as possible. We have stayed 6-7 times and plan to stay more. Great little escape for myself and the wife for a weekend or week! We also bring the kids in the summer! Such a wonderful place. With the creek, crystals, and peacefulness! We love dealing with Karyn also. So easy and very helpful.

Short Stay
Great cabin with easy access to the creek. Was a perfect fit for our family of 4. Plenty of sights to see within 20minutes but, you could easily spend all day at the cabin relaxing, playing games, grilling, or hanging out at the fire pit. Will recommend to my friends and family and would not hesitate to come back. Thanks!

A Little Slice of Heaven
We had such a wonderful weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I wanted something more private with our family and it was just beautiful enjoying nature. For me the best part is the creek. It was such clear water and I love hearing the sound of the water flowing. It was so relaxing. The cabin was very nice too. Everything was clean and comfortable. The host was very prompt in responding any questions we had and was very sweet. I'd love to come back again in the future.

Amazing fall getaway! Just go!
We had the best weekend at the Lost Cabin at the Creek. The location is perfect. Not too far off the main road but still very remote and quiet. We loved the spring fed creek behind the cabin and also across the road. I could sit by the water for hours. It is so peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub was also perfect after a full day of hiking. There was plenty of room in the cabin for our party of four. We had everything we needed to celebrate my husband's and his friend's 50th birthdays. I'm so glad I found this cabin and that it lived up to my expectations in person. It is truly an amazing property and I'm so thankful the owners choose to share it with others. chose this cabin and that it lived up League

Unplug and relax on the creek!
We loved the cabin and all that came with it! It was better than I thought it would ever be. I highly recommend staying here if you have adventures little boys like us. We enjoyed playing and fishing in the clear creek and swimming hole so much. My boys even said they wished that was their backyard. Do yourself a favor and book now!

The rain didn't cooperate but we still had a nice/peaceful weekend. The cabin is rustic and perfect for what we were looking for. Being right on the creek is a huge plus. We want to visit again in spring or early fall!

Everything was clean and in great shape, rooms were spacious and comfortable, and wifi was excellent. The location by the creek was fantastic, especially for the hot tub and grill. Also one of the better stocked kitchens and spice cabinets I’ve seen. Would highly recommend.

Perfect little get-a-way
Loved the remoteness of the Lost Cabin. Nestled right on the creek, hearing the water each morning and evening was so relaxing. Definitely explore the creek, easy to walk in and play. Definitely must visit this hide-a-way. Karyn was easy to email and responds promptly.
