There is nothing like the peacefulness and the clear mountain water in the Ouachita Mountains. We are privately owned just 4.5 miles past Camp Albert Pike Recreational Area. Children are free. We do have a small RV park (5 spaces) for our personal use, we often stay in them during the summer months with our grandsons, that you will drive through to get to the cabin.

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, loft-style, cabin is just the cozy, luxurious retreat you need.

Cozy Cabin/ Large porch
Came up from Ft Worth to enjoy a long weekend and ride the trails. The cabin was really cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. The upstairs was a little concerning with an 18 month old but we managed. He definitely loved the large porch and all the toys to play with.

This was by far our favorite vacation yet! The owners were amazing. Very quick to respond and incredibly helpful before and during our stay. The cabin had everything we needed already stocked up, it was very nice. We’re thankful for the peacefulness of the surroundings, the fun we had on the trails and in the springs throughout Albert Pike. It was amazing!

A Great Place to Stay Near Albert Pike
Stayed here with my wife and daughters for mother's day and we had a blast. The cabin is perfectly setup as a home-base or destination. One of the most well stocked places we've stayed. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, plenty of towels, bedding, even extra toiletries. Tons of outdoor seating, a large firepit, outdoor toys/games, and sits just off of a spring fed creek. Communication with the owners was great. We'll definitely be back!

In the woods
Loved the creek and walking the atv trails. We went for the eclipse and luckily had perfect weather. Cabin was nice, a little tight for 5 adults and 6 kids but spent most of our time outdoors. Host left me a birthday cake in the fridge, very thoughtful. My daughters thought the Cabin and outside furniture could use some updating but i was fine with it. I enjoyed being in the woods, but you are 40 miles from anywhere. We had a great time.

Wonderful weekend
This cabin is amazing super close to the national park. Owners were super friendly very helpful giving suggestions on things to do. Up front about NO cellphone service but provided a land line for emergencies. Everything was super clean lots of homey decorations and a very comfortable stay. They've got a lot of younger children's toys and accessories a baby might need. We had teenagers (Yes they survived the entire trip with minimum concerns about lack of devices) but it was wonderful to see so many accommodations that I know would of made my life easier traveling with small children. The property is clean lots of solar lights for safety. We went for fathers day weekend/ my birthday weekend and they had us a cake in the fridge to celebrate you can just tell they like to go that extra mile to make you feel like family. The kids are already asking to book the SAME place next year not just go back to the same area but they want THIS cabin again!

Carrying on tradition
I have been coming to this area since my father brought me here around 60 years ago and brought my children and now all of my grandchildren. This cabin is perfect for families with or without children. You can tell the pride that the Andersons have in their property. It’s more than a rental it’s a home. Very clean and set up well for visiting this area.

Peaceful Arkansas getaway
We had an absolute blast. The Anderson’s were very responsive and answered any and all questions we had. The cabin is equipped with anything and everything you could possibly think of. It honestly feels like you’re just going to spend the night at Grandma’s. The Cabin was very clean and tidy. It was decorated so cute! I informed Mrs. Anderson we were going for a Birthday trip and she went above and beyond and left us a delicious cake! The surrounding area around the cabin is very well taken care of. It was a peaceful, pleasant stay. There were even toys for the boys to play with inside and out! Not to mention the creek directly in front of the house is so relaxing to listen to. There are hidden treasures in the back of the property along the trails with gorgeous rocks, wild flowers and pretty clear blue water. Would recommend a 100x over for anyone considering. You will not regret it!

Not a complaint, just a real review...
Christmas getaway for the fam. Two sisters, one driving from Albq., and elderly mother from Glenwood along with my kids and dogs. Planned and paid for in late October. Last min request to move ahead a day due to unexpected artic cold front was granted without hesitation and we were even allowed to stay through our original planned checkout day as a courtesy, one free day. I inquired about the frequency of power outages because there is no fireplace, we were concerned about not having heat. I was told power didn't go out often and there is central heat available and cancelation was understood if we decided to call it off (at that point we were not eligible for a full refund though) When I arrived we were almost completely out of water, the pipes had frozen quickly in the master side of the home and most of the remainder. I called immediately to see if there were heaters to put under home (no underpinning and little to no insulation) in attempt to thaw, the owner wasn't very friendly or compassionate and kept saying "I don't know what to tell you". Her husband drove up earlier to turn on the heat and let the water run but by the time I'd arrived that night, most everything was frozen solid. No hot water, only ice cold, and flushing with buckets for 3 days had us feeling rough. We really had to put in some work to be comfortable. On the third day the sun came out, the hot water had finally come on, and we could shower and clean up. The well water is strong of sulfur and did make me somewhat sick to my stomach after showering for some reason but it didn't bother anyone else, we were all still happy to just have a shower! It was about that time when all started to really enjoy ourselves. The rest of our stay was great and we all had so much fun. We were able to spend good time together and with mom, away from the world. No cell/internet is exactly what we all needed! The home was well stocked with all sorts of things and we didn't find ourselves without supplies. The owner was great (until there was any mention of troubles or problems we'd had), even made us lemon bread! I guess she thought I was trying to request a partial refund but I needed compassion and helpful info, is all. All-in-all, our vaca was great & quite the experience. We'd go back, just not in the middle of winter/summer. Improvements are needed for comfort in extreme temperatures.

This little cabin was perfect for our family. The cabin is adorable, well stocked with anything you may need. We spent most of our time on the front porch and by the huge fire pit. Kids toys are already in the front yard. The kids stayed in the creek the majority of the time. We were not far from Little Missouri falls and Albert Pike recreation area.

Hideaway Cabin
It is a nice family retreat with great host. The cabin is well stocked if you forget an item. There are plenty of dishes and towels with good cookware and range/microwave for cooking foods. We enjoyed the comfort and loft area too. All decor was lodge style and rustic. We had fun, but it is really rural in the mountains. So, it's dirt road to mention. Oh, Glenwood had great Italian at Ari's, not too far away for eats and groceries.

Beautiful, relaxing, and quiet forest hideaway with a creek!
My husband has a high stress job in telecom and after a year and a half of quarantine and working from home, we both needed a change of scenery and a relaxing weekend away. The Anderson's cabin in the Ouachita National Forest was just the ticket! I know there are activities nearby but we just wanted to do NOTHING. And this cabin in the woods is exactly what we were looking for. Sitting on the porch in the swing, drinking coffee while looking out at the sun dappled grounds and listening to the soft sounds of the creek running is my idea of heaven! The kitchen is full-size and plenty large to cook what you want. (Be sure to shop ahead of time and bring it with you because this is a very remote location.) The queen bed in the loft is super comfy. We grilled and also had a fire in the stone fire pit one night. OUR DOGS HAD A BLAST! We let them walk along the creek bed and smell all the smells and splash in the water. I swear they were both smiling all weekend! And they slept all the way home in the car. They had such an exciting weekend they were exhausted! If you're looking for a serene, relaxing weekend; if you're looking for a remote location where you can take your pets; if you want to be so far from civilization you can see the stars and never hear a car THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! Meshelle the owner is lovely, helpful, and accommodating. Thank you, Meshelle! We had a fabulous time! We are already discussing when we can come back - probably this Fall. THANK YOU!

This cabin is just adorable! The hosts were very hospitable and the amenities were great. It has a large fire pit, beautiful stream running through the property, quiet, and a big front porch with plenty of seating. The stairs to the beds are a little steep, but they didn't feel dangerous at all. We loved this place. I would recommend if you're looking for a getway retreat.

Unplugged
Our family enjoyed the remote location, coziness of the cabin, the creek that ran along the property, and the closeness of the Little Missouri Trail. Upon entering the property there are several spots for RV's which we were not aware which took away from the remoteness. Fortunately we rented during the week so after one night we had the entire place to ourselves.
