Fantastic settings, unique cabins, great hiking location, and very reasonable rates. Will definitely revisit in the future.

I found this gem on an article of places you have to stay in Arkansas. Oh my gosh! This is the perfect deep woods haven and completely unplugged from the world. Of four cabins, we booked the Longbow cabin. It was a no brainer really because it has its own private waterfall and natural pool. The owners live on the property. He owns 1400+ acres. After checking in with Ben and Warwick (his dog), we drove the 15 min trek to our cabin. Some steep and rocky spots so it's suggested you have a truck or SUV. My Tucson did fine with my AWD. We had the opportunity to visit two of the other cabins and I took photos. The Bois d'Arc and Sovereign cabins. Neither of these have water features but beautiful views of the woods. We arrived at our Longbow cabin which is built into the rock bluffs. Some walls are actual rock walls. You spot the waterfall immediately. Take lawn chairs as you will want to sit on the shore, maybe even with your feet in water! The water was ice cold but refreshing on a hot day. The water is clear and you must stand in the waterfall!! Do it!! And you are alone. No one will bother you so feel free to skinny dip. I sure did! A deck area of stone is under the bluff and has a hammock, patio furniture and a grill. Stairs lead up to the cabin from there, though there is also an entrance in the other side. Inside the cabin-like I said rock walls and stone floors (take house shoes!) there is a small kitchen with full refrigerator, stove top (no oven), toaster oven, microwave, double sink and dishwasher. All dishes and cookware are provided. There was nothing extra I needed to bring though I wish I would have taken paper plates for smaller meals and snacks. Take lots of paper towels and bottled water! The bathroom has a small sink/vanity and walk in shower. The living area is really just a couch. It was the one "con" in my book because it wasn't really that comfortable (so glad I had a blanket to place over the cold vinyl) and it isn't really made to lay down on. We improvised with the kitchen chairs and pillows to both fit comfortably while we watched a movie. There is a small flat screen and DVD player. No satellite or cable. So take a DVD if you want that down time, and you may need it if it rains. There is a radio/CD (I only had one CD in my car!) and we could only get one country station to dial in. The kitchen table was a glass top with two chairs in front of a large glass window with the perfect view of the falls. Up a set of stairs goes to the loft where one queen sized bed is. Be careful not to hit your head! Low ceiling but some windows that also look out to the falls. There is a light switch behind the bed on the shelves that lights up the waterfall at night. A must! There is a de-humidifier as well as AC and fans. It stayed plenty cool when it was 90 outside. We never left once we got there but really, there is no where to go. You are 30 min from Mountain View and that's after a 15 min drive to the road. Why leave? We cooked and grilled all our meals (take in all groceries). Be sure to check their website for a list of what you may want to take with you. We spent our days at the falls swimming, simply gazing at the waterfall that was so mesmerizing, laying in the hammock, playing cards and hiking. In the evening we built campfires while lighting up the falls and watched a couple movies before bed. There are several trails, most moderate. It's quite a rocky hike. After seeing one snake, it makes you skiddish. We also had a nightly visitor we will call Rocky. A raccoon. He will come at night after dark wanting food. He's a wild animal so don't hand feed him but you can tell he's been eating good for a long time and knows the routine. While named a resort, you are "roughing it" to an extent. It's crazy how packed my car was with food, coolers, chairs, extra linens and pillows, but it was truly amazing and I can't wait to go back. It's 4 hours from Bentonville. The Bushmaster cabin also has water with a creek that flows by on some huge rocks but only when there's been some rain. It was pretty dry when we hiked by. read more

Five stars aren't enough. The cabin was rustic and beautiful. We had our own personal waterfall. We hiked to a second waterfall that was amazing! We took our side by side out and rode trails and saw wildlife at night. So peaceful. So beautiful. I can't wait to go back! read more
