Blackfork Dogwood Haven cabin is located south of Hodgen, Oklahoma in the Ouachita National Forest on 105 Acres of land connecting to the US Forest Service on the North and South boundaries of the property.
We offer a cozy cabin that sleeps up to 6 in beds perfect for all types of vacation getaways. From honeymooning to groups or families, we can accommodate those looking for spending time with loved ones.
We have another cabin near this one and can accommodate larger groups that are wanting to rent out both cabins. (Vrbo listing #903323)
Our cabin is a modern rural get-away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! It has all the comforts of home with the exception of Wifi and Television. Instead, the living area faces a wall of windows that showcases the beauty of the outdoors. You can enjoy watching the wildlife from the comfort of the cabin.
The river is a short walk from the cabin. You can enjoy secluded access to swimming, canoeing, kayaking, or just wading around in the cool water. The bottom of the river is covered in beautiful river rocks so water shoes are recommended for stability.
We have kayaks and paddleboards available to rent for $40 to use the whole length of your stay. There is a great area for watercraft accessibility in front of the other cabin on the property. Please message us if you are interested in these additional features!
We make your vacation in the forest effortless. All you need to bring is your food and clothes! It’s that easy.
Phone service is hit or miss at the cabin but a short trip up the road will make phone calls possible if necessary.
If you love being outdoors or admiring nature, then this is the perfect stay for you and your loved ones! Our cabin in the woods is the perfect place to escape and connect to nature.

Beautiful property. Off the beaten path location. Beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub. Unable to connect to the internet but didn’t really miss it.
This cabin is perfect for a quiet getaway with family or a small group. The property is secluded and private and the house is well kept and well stocked with kitchen supplies. I would definitely stay again!

This is the best off the grid getaway. If you live the forest and nature with a modern cabin, this is your place.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hot tub worked just fine. Out door shower was wonderful. The access to the river was adequate with our needs and fishing was fun, especially with the kayak. Would definitely stay again!!!

This was our 2nd time to stay in this cabin, we love it here. The cabin and property are so gorgeous and well appointed.
Only downside this time is the hot tub was on the fritz but everything else was 100% awesome. We will be going back again for a 3rd time soon.

Very sorry about the hot tub... Second time it has gone down on us in the year, and thanks for letting me know when you did, I got on the list for the tech to fix it!
Next time for sure it will be up and going! Thank you again! - Josh - owner
The Cabin was so cozy and nice with large windows to enjoy watching nature. My family and I enjoyed spending quality time doing puzzles, games and outdoor activities. Our boys loved learning how to kayak there on their river. We would absolutely return!

Winter Kayaking! Better learn fast! Come back in the spring or summer and you guys could do a point to point float down the river! Hit me up and I can run shuttle for you guys, your family sounds like you guys like to enjoy the outdoors and have fun!

My wife and I have stayed in these cabins before and chose to come back to have our wedding at the Black Fork Cabins.
We love them and the hosts are amazing!
If you're considering booking either of these properties you cannot go wrong.

Secluded cabin with absolutely no cell service was just what this is! Super cute cabin not too far outside of town but enough to feel away! Short 20 minutes into town, if needed. Local lake nearby. Would recommend for an adult getaway. Kayaking and fishing was a hit for the kids.

Thank you for the great review and these are the reasons we love our cabin also! And also the reason we love to share it with others! Come back and see us anytime! Josh-owner
The property was inviting and accommodating. We had a wonderful time exploring the property and nearby locations. If I had anything negative to say it would be that the property needed curtains and we came in after an apparent wasp problem. There were dead wasps all throughout the cabin we had to sweep up when we arrived.
Really a great place. The pics are accurate. It’s easy to find even at 1am. You can hear the river from the patio. Hot tub works great. I’d definitely go back when I need to be away from cell reception for a bit

This was the best cabin. So close to the water and the perfect space for friends to reconnect. There is NO cell service or Wi-Fi, and honestly, we loved having no access to the outside world. The appliances were easy to use and the house itself was clean and up to date. I FULLY recommend this cabin.

My son and I were looking for a remote place to relax and get away from the busy normal pace of life. This was perfect! Very remote and quiet. You can see the river below and a short walk allowed us to just hang out on the banks for a couple hours and just enjoy nature. The only drawback was the complete lack of cell coverage or WiFi to update my wife that we had arrived safely. I got a finger wag once we had service again at the end of our trip. We loved it!

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was everything we hoped for. Middle of nowhere, trees for days, beautiful home, and it was just plain comfortable and homey. We've got t-mobile as out cell carrier and there was no service to speak of. It was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be booking again! Thank you for the best escape from reality I've had for YEARS!

Nice getaway /Nice Cabin. Greeted by too many flies.
Beautiful views surrounding the cabin. Loved how secluded it was, gave us an opportunity to really unwind from our busy schedules and just enjoy the outdoors. The only thing that was annoying were the number of flies that were flying around inside the cabin. We made sure to keep the doors closed to help with them from coming in, the weather was nice and cool, so I was surprised to see that many flies in the cabin. The cabin did have fly swappers, I felt that I spent most of the time trying to kill them when it came around to preparing my meals. I would suggest maybe getting a bug zapper to help with this issue.

Very sorry about the flys. I was 10 miles up river kayaking on Friday and on Saturday and the flys were crazy in this location also 100s. My best friend has a cabin 5 miles away and we had the convo Saturday about the flys. It is the mountains, you get what they give you. Trees Blooming, Heat, Rain, Flowers, Fall Colors, Bears, Wild Hogs, Sunshine, Snow, Beetles, Wasp, Snakes - You probably saw the river go from 16 feet back down to 6 from the rain (Why I was kayaking!) I am staying this weekend for my birthday and chances are the flys will be gone. That is what the mountains give you we shouldn't get a 3 star because of the mountains... But you can rate it how you would like I can't wait for this weekend! Kids will be swimming, boating, dirt bikes, mountain bikes and even popping some flys! Josh - owner
I read some of the reviews before booking, so I want to make sure mine is detailed because this place was perfect! It was just big enough for myself, my husband, and our 3 boys. There is the other cabin but even though you can see it through the trees it’s a good ways away. We had plenty of privacy and more than enough room for our wild boys to run without bothering neighbors. The river was gorgeous and we even hiked to see other parts and there’s one area close by with TONS of beautiful huge butterflies! This was the perfect get away for those like us trying to get off electronics and just play, get dirty, and reconnect. It was the perfect stay! Yes there are flies and bugs, but it never felt overwhelming or anything. Overall it’s very clean and we had the best time!! The owner is super available which made it easy to text if we did have questions or needed anything.

3 boys!! Sounds like our crew until the neighbors moved in with 4 girls, and our boys are getting old! But they all love it and the girls love the river and my daughter picked that for this week for her and her girl friends for her 11th birthday, FLOAT SWIM and CAMP at the cabin!
I hope you guys come back soon and get to enjoy a little warmer water! Sounds like you guys love the outdoors and adventure!
