About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

White River

This secluded property sits on the well know White River nestled below the Devils Backbone hiking trails. If you are looking for a nice getaway that is private and off the map, this is the exact place you want to be! This cabin has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths with a loft bedroom. The cabin sits feet from the amazing White River with access to a public boat launch just 2 miles down the river. The home is fully furnished with all the amenities you will desire to have an enjoyable stay, including a wood burning fire place that will make the chilly nights on the river more enjoyable. This Cabin was custom built in 2006 and is fully decked out with amazing pine and cedar on the walls and floors. There is a very nice fully screened in back porch that over looks the river to make your morning coffee all the more enhancing! We have 2 full bathrooms that is very spacious with one stand up shower and the other with a shower/tub combo. All 3 bedrooms have queen size beds, the loft has an additional 2 twin size beds. The cabin is located just 12 miles from the Sylamore area that offers river boat rentals and very nice dining 7 days a week. This cabin is not located in Melbourne, it is 20-30 minutes outside of Melbourne towards Sylamore off of Hwy 9.

Making it simple
Escaped the big city to a relax in a quiet spot. 150 feet to the white river. Seeing the stars and fireflies (lightning bugs) reminded me of my childhood some 30 years ago. Getting my kids to separate from their electronics without them feeling life I’m being extra. Creating these type of memories are a must

view eclipse
We rented this to view eclipse. There was 9 of us (73, 47, 38, 36, 17, 15, 8, 6, 3). House was lovely, porch had excellent view of White River. The teenagers spent a few minutes wading in River (very cold water and swift current with limited access). Very remote (which we wanted to view eclipse), and last mile to house is very rough gravel road and could be a problem if it rains. About 30 minutes to Mountain View (Ozark Folk Center) or Blanchard Springs Caverns so lots to do. Also, a couple of float companies provide floats that pass the house. Enjoyed it very much.

Relaxation!
Our family had a fabulous weekend vacation and got some much needed relaxation! We drove all the way from Texas and got to enjoy the beautiful sights of Arkansas. The first night in the cabin was interesting as we witnessed our first "intense" Arkansas mountain storm. Thankfully the cabin blocked most of the noises and my children played the games provided without realizing there was a major storm outside! The cabin is on secluded property but there are multiple cabins and RVs set up very close together on a strip of land. We had hoped to be a little more private and secluded by the listing description but it was still a fabulous trip. No fish caught but the views from the cabin made up for the lack of fish! Thank you for our first spectacular visit to Arkansas!!!

Worst stay of my life-infact i didnt stay-NOT SUCLUDED
Would have given 0 stars if allowed. Host is disrespectful to say the least. To start out you should be aware the host recommends you tresspass on neighboring lots to fish. This cabins river bank is covered in bamboo. All the open photos you see are neighboring lots. The listing indicates there is a stone fire pit there is not. There is not a driveway. The road to get to this place is more like a rutted out 4 wheeler trail. You have to do under dangerous railroad track the grate thats covering the whole in the concrete roadway bounced up when i drove over it. The other side of the roadway is also falling out and uncared for. Upon arrival i went to the bank and reached out to the owner. She advised me to go left to fish. When i did so the cabin renters on the next cabin over approvached via boat and asked us to move because we where on there bank fishing.(understandable). I was at this cabin roughly 5 hours and notified the owner that i left and requested a refund. She has yet to do anything other than patronize me for not calling her (there is no cell service at the cabin only wifi). The neighboring cabin was visibly upset we fished there bank (even though they wasnt even on property at the time) they flashlight our cabin and let off multiple shots. We caught them multple time looking through our windows and any time we stepped outside they flashlight us. I did not feel safe and left the property! Vrbo does not protect its travelers. There is more but space here is limited.

Secluded location
The check in process was super easy. This place is well off the beaten path (the road in is gravel). My daughters GMC Terrain was able to navigate easily. It was about as off the grid as you can go and keep basic amenities. The two beds downstairs were great. I only went to the loft once because my teenage daughters were up there. It had TV's, but there was no dvd/bluray player, roku, or any way to actually watch them. In their notes of checking in it says they are working on that. The hot spot worked ok. I was able to make a wi-fi call when no one else was on it. It basically let us check Facebook, Instagram, etc... The back porch was amazing! The view would have been a little better if the shore line was cleaned up. Other than a few little things this place was pretty nice. Small groups looking to get away, this is it.

Cabin is very clean and just as described. We love the screened in porch and being right by the river. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would like to see a better grilling area and bon fire area. Hopefully we will get to visit again in the future!

1st and last stay
Over all it is a very pretty property. However The kitchen is infested with roaches. Apparently the owner is aware of the issue and has had it sprayed several times. We stayed there for 6 nights. We acquired a lot of trash. After the bins below were full we left bagged trash on the porch. We didn’t want animals to get into trash left outside. No where was it noted in the policy that we had to contact the owner to come pick up the trash. So between the trash left in bags on the porch and the lose trash in the can she charged us and extra $150.

Perfect place to unwind.
Our best friends live several hours away from us, so we met in the middle and stayed at this cabin for a weekend. Four adults and six kids between 3 and 10. It was absolutely perfect. The big kids thought the loft was the coolest place for their “slumber party.” It was so peaceful and relaxing and the host was quick to respond. Made a lot of memories this weekend. ❤️
