I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this vacation rental. It had everything we needed and was such a great location. We loved how easy it was to access the river and fish along the bank.
This was our third visit and as always we love it. The weather was perfect, flowing river with cool breezes was so calming and soothing. The beds are the most comfy of any Heber place we’ve stayed. Communication with property manager is always great. We highly recommend this place!
We loved our stay at the cabin- perfect spot right on the river. Cabin was super clean and plenty of supplies. The river and lawn were beautiful! We hope to come back sometime when the dam isn’t generating so much - water was very high and fast. Very relaxing trip for our family!!
Access to the property was quick and easy. Great view of the river from the deck and the lawn below. Very comfortable and well-stocked. Owner/manager did not interrupt our stay (as has happened in other VRBO's we've used). Facilities were very comfortable and convenient. Only minor suggestions would be replacing the Q bed with a King and maybe adding a dishwasher.
This is an awsome place to go fishing. Good rock structure in the river. The house is very nice and clean. I will continue to get this place in the future.
We had never been to Arkansas before, we really enjoyed the house and the area. The owners/managers were great, very easy to work with, check in was real easy.
Really enjoyed our stay. Loved seeing the wildlife and enjoying the scenery. The house was very clean and very cute. Will be visiting again in the future.
This house was the perfect place to go for a quick weekend trip. It had all the room we needed, plenty of space to spread out, and lots of beautiful outdoor views. Even with some rain we were able to hike and enjoy the surrounding area and have a bonfire and smores down by the river!
These were perfect accommodations for our 3 night stay. Rustic, on the river, actually able to access the river and catch fish. We drove over 6 hours for our stay and would do it again. Stunning views, massive trees, good fishing. We were very pleased!
It was magnificent The house is clean and decorated very cute. The walk down to the river is easy. The scenery is gorgeous. The screened in porch with the swing was really nice to relax. Would definitely stay here again.
This place was fantastic! Very clean, great communication throughout, and backyard-river area was breath taking. Defiantly recommend this home, until next time Arkansas
