Secluded River Cabin Retreat with Outdoor Bathhouse and Kayaks

Looking for a place to get away from it all? Don't want any neighbors nearby? Our Cabin-in-the-Woods is the perfect retreat for anniversaries, honeymoons, or just a quiet place to escape by yourselves. Enjoy views of the river and Ouachita Mountains from the wrap around porch while you drink your morning coffee. Swim, kayak, tube, or paddle boat alone in the wide section of river at the base of the steps. Hike some trails through 80 acres of pine forest and hills. Enjoy bathing in the outdoor bathhouse while enjoying the secluded view. There is no chlorinated pool, but the clear river and bathhouse are even better!

The deck includes a grill and patio furniture, as well as two porch swings and chairs. There are 118 steps down to the river since the cabin sits high above the surrounding hills. The views on the way down are beautiful, and the hike on the way back up will leave you breathless! :-)

Both sides of the river are part of the property, and no other cabin or home sits on the 80 acres to help provide that true secluded get-away experience! The property enjoys 1/3 mile of riverfront and has about 4 miles of private trails. (Note: the trails are currently under re-construction between guests and may be messy through summer 2025)

Other things to note:
-Dogs for couples without kids will be considered if they do not shed, do not chew or scratch, and will be kept clean. A pet fee is required. Contact owner before booking.
-The final 1/2 mile to the cabin is a rough dirt road. A small suv or truck is recommended, but a car should be okay if the weather is dry. This is a cabin in the woods, so even though we strive to keep it very clean, you may encounter some spiderwebs, bugs, and other nature.
-Three security cameras are located outside. Two point at the driveway area, and the other points toward the river. They may be turned off (if they aren't already off).
-The forest was thinned in Dec 2024 so the trails are currently under re-construction (between guests). The property is still fun to explore, but the trails have tripping hazards right now.

Really enjoyed our stay here! The outdoor bath house overlooking the creek was awesome. The cabin was stocked way better than any other VRBO we’ve rented before. Very remote but we had no visitors even tho we stayed on Friday the 13th lol! Floating the Caddo was a bonus. Will definitely visit again.

Awesome stay

So many amenities. Lots of yard games; croquet, ladder ball. Complete seclusion. Beautiful views. Rustic and has everything you need except your meals and snacks. My family played and laughed and we didn’t leave. So much to explore. So many different areas to hang out. River was crystal clear and so enjoyable. Highly recommend morning outdoor shower with coffee.

One with nature

Just stunning... loved the view, hiking trails, kayaking on the river. Cabin was cozy and deck was awesome. Beware lots of stairs to climb down and up from the river. Built camp fires in the fire pits on top by the cabin and down by the river. Just perfect for the cool weather at night. Love love love!!

Weekend away with friends.

We loved everything about this place. The host was very communicative and accommodating. The seclusion and tranquility was amazing. It was 100+ degrees the entire time, so we very rarely left the river. The stairs down/up from the river are definitely not for the faint of heart. We would definitely book again.

Peace and Tranquility

Beautiful and peaceful place to stay. We are in our 50's and it was perfect for a relaxing getaway. If you bring children or teenagers (it was just the two of us), it might be better to come in the summer because there is more to do with the river. It was perfect for us though.

We celebrated our 41st anniversary. We walked the trails and explored most of the 80 acres. The steps are for young people but we made it! Quite place to hang out. We grilled every night. The weather was wonderful for March! Very clean. I texted Todd once. He responded quickly and answered my question! I do recommend this place!

Absolutely Remarkable and Romantic Place to Stay

The owner goes above and beyond in making sure this place exceeds expectations. We never ran out of things to do here on our honeymoon. From movie nights, to arcade games, to shuffleboard/ladder ball, to the campfires, kayaking, hiking trails on the property, plus all of the attractions within easy driving distance. 11/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a secluded and quiet place to get away from the world. Did not have cell service at the cabin, but the WiFi provided gave me access to everything I needed during our stay. Again, Todd, Gary and Lynna went above and beyond to help us have the perfect honeymoon. I can't say enough good about them!

Amazing Solitude and Tranquility

We recently spent 4 nights at the cabin and we cannot express enough how wonderful we found everything to be. The location was ideal and everything was exactly, if not better, than described in the listing. The host communication was excellent and the cabin guide provided was impressive in it's detail and scale. We did not see or hear another person our entire stay there. We hiked all 5 miles of the trails, tubed the river, kayaked the river and floated the river over and over again. The deck spaces and views were amazing and our only complaint was the excessive heat limited our activities. We plan to return during a cooler season. The cabin was immaculately clean and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with pantry staple items. It was very hard to leave and we are already planning another visit.

Beautiful seclusion

We wanted complete seclusion and to be on the water. We got both. We didn't see another person the entire stay. The owners were very accommodating about our dogs. We have two big dogs and are both very well behaved. We like taking them with us when we go on vacation. Its hard to find anyone that will allow two big dogs. Our rottie absolutely loves the water. It was hard to get her to want to come out of the lake. The property is so beautiful. And a wonderful reminder of how much God loves us. There is a cross with a bench to sit on in front of it close to the cabin. That was a nice touch. We will definitely be back again.

Paradise!!!

This rental is paradise especially if you are looking to get away from everything. My husband and I spent a week there relaxing for our 27th anniversary! We loved everything about the property! The cabin was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Todd is wonderful to work with on renting the cabin and makes you feel right at home. We fished and swam in the river. The river was too low to kayak during our stay. We saw several deer drinking from the river. The outdoor bath and shower was amazing and very romantic. My husband enjoyed hiking the trails. We drank our coffee by the fire every morning. Never saw another person unless we went into town. The restaurants (Little Italy was our favorite) were delicious and we enjoyed visiting Hot Springs. We would have never left the property but I don't like to cook while on vacation so we had to eat. Would definitely come back to this paradise!!! Thank you Todd and family for sharing your slice of heaven with us!

You Won't Believe The Therapy Of Thunder Mountain Cabin

If you are looking for a perfect place to be restored and renewed, this is the place. My wife and I needed to get "away" from life and tech to heal and renew our minds. This remote cabin is easy to get to but away from it all. Perched above the Caddo River, its like you are in a tree house with a canopy view of the tree tops - great for bird watching. Todd and Elaine thought of EVERYTHING you'll need. Wrap around porch. Multi-level decks galore. Fully equipped, includes extra beds and game area for kids. We recommend this very private cabin for just grown ups. And, wait until you experience their one of a kind outdoor shower / tub overlooking the river. Rustic theme, soft lights and lots of opportunity to get romantic. My wife and I have been all over (France, Italy, Alaska, Canada, Central America, Caribbean Islands, and many remote cabins in Arkansas) If you need peace, privacy and restoration - there is no better place. We are coming back ! Brad and Lori

Perfect

If you want to get the heck out of town, go here. Seclusion. Water. Views. Hiking on property. If you want a workout go down to the river 3 times a day and forget something down there that last trip. Those stairs made me and my dog feel really old. It was well worth it. My son fished most of the day, from sun up til dinner. If you or your teen likes to fish, you won’t be disappointed. He fished what seemed like countless spots just walking the trails on the bank. He spent the better part of 2 days paddling up and down as far as he could on the Kayak. We spent a rainy day on the arcade game (bring spare change, $5 in quarters lasted hours) and playing shuffle board in the loft bedroom. I should also mention with cell service at a minimum, the wifi did its job. We were able to text, email, and most importantly stream shows each night. I know it sounds bad when you have such amazing stargazing, sounds and natural beauty around you, but these are the times we live in. I know I personally want to know this specific detail before I book an extended visit. I hope there is a next time and I hope others take advantage of such a great property.
