Dogwood Cottage

Beautiful property on a quiet little cove of Lake Ouachita. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Close to outdoor activity areas (hiking, kayaking on the lake). Wonderful sunsets down by the boat launch. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cannot wait to enjoy a summer time trip back.

Was exactly as posted and couldn’t ask for more. Communication was great and prompt. So great we are planning to revisit again in warmer months to actually enjoy all the water amenities available.

Beautiful and Peaceful Piece of heaven

The tiny home is new and gorgeous. The view is great. Access to the water is easy. You do have neighbors but still so worth it with the nice deck and great view.

Tucked away in tiny town

Overall, our stay in Dogwood Cottage was pretty good! The cottage itself was just the right size for the 3 of us. The view of the lake is beautiful any you can walk right down to swim or explore. My only 2 complaints are that the shower didn’t drain very well and the bed was not very comfortable. We would stay here again.

Very pretty area

The cabin was very nice. Did have a problem getting into the bed. Too high for a shorter person to get into comfortably. Could also use a side table in the bedroom and one next to the sofa. Very quiet and lovely area.

Nice view

We very much enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and had nice decor. They were pet friendly, so we brought our dog. We were right near the water, of a small cove. It was a little steep walking down to the water. The view of the lake is nice from the front porch. Bed was very comfortable. Plenty of cookware. There were lots of swimming and fishing spots in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Serenity at its best!

My husband and I wanted to “skip Christmas” this year. We were pleasantly surprised to find this little jewel in the woods. It was perfect for what we needed. We had a lake view to boot! The host even provided a little Christmas tree, which we so much appreciated!! Thank you so much for a perfect break from the hustle and bustle!

Lake Ouachita

Stayed in Dogwood Tiny Home. Clean, view of the lake, nice hiking area. Fall is definitely beautiful and if you like quiet and solitude this is a perfect spot. Disappointed because The Lodge (only place to eat right there) was being torn down so had to drive into town to Patty’s to grab breakfast. Suggest highly to go to Dollar Stire there in town to grab groceries if you want to fix food in your home. Overall a nice place but definite lack of places to eat.

It was everything we could ask for. The property was pleasant and quiet. Very comfortable. Amenities, everything was provided. It was nice to sit, escape from social media and read a book again. Took long walks. We stayed Saturday to Saturday. We will definitely stay here again. This property is highly recommended.

Fantastic experience

I absolutely enjoyed my stay in Dogwood Cottage at the Brady Mountain Resort. I stayed there 5 nights for a getaway vacation and the cottage and surrounding area did not disappoint. The staff were very hospitable and helpful. Dogwood cottage was the perfect size and setup for me and the staff supplied it very well with everything I would need. I cooked each meal and ate there, slept in the comfortable bed, and lounged outside on the porch or camp area. Brady mountain has beautiful scenery and awesome trails. The vista/overlook is a sight to see. Next time I will come later in Oct or early Nov when the leaves have changed more. I will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful place and it had close access to the boat ramp. It was however a little close to the neighboring rentals for our liking though, no privacy when cooking outside or sitting at the picnic table. We cooked fast and took it inside to eat.
