About this property

Close to everything!

Enjoy the view from the amazing deck of this quaint cabin high on the bluff overlooking the White River. The Ward cabin features two bedrooms and two baths with hardwood flooring throughout. The master retreat with private access to the large deck, features a jetted tub and a separate shower in the private ensuite bath. The views of the river bend and mountains from the deck and living room are breathtaking. Get up early and watch the eagles soar up and down the river while you drink your coffee. You can’t beat this cabin for a relaxing getaway to the White River region of the Ozark Mountains.

The large driveway allows for plenty of room for your boat. Local public boat access is in town about 4 blocks away.

From the cabin, walk to Main street and take in some shopping, a bite to eat, or stroll through the historic original part of town with historical markers. Enhance your walk by making your way to Rand City Park for some disc golf, easy trails, or by enjoying the shaded scenery and sounds of the creek flowing through the park!

Great location - really close to everything. Very clean. Beautiful view from the deck. Drove just down the road to Lindsey's Boat Dock. Our guide, Teddy, was great. The three of us caught over 50 fish in four hours. We'll be back!

All about the view

We had stayed on the bluffs before, but you forget what a beautiful location it is and this house really showcased the views with both the porch and the large picture windows and double doors. Comfortable and extremely clean, we really loved the house.

Perfect Getaway Place

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our Anniversary somewhere near Mountain View. We decided on this location and I’m so thankful that we did! Its location on the bluff literally gives you the “million dollar view” I cannot express how clean and beautifully decorated this little cabin was. We will definitely be back!!!!

Better than the description

We were blown away by the view. This property was incredible. I would definitely stay here again. On the property we saw a pair of bald eagles, hummingbirds, deer, and a roadrunner. This place is very quiet. We loved it.

Amazing View of River

The location was very close to the little town. The cabin is in need of some TLC (dusting, filter changes, gutter cleaning, internet service repair, new Roku or fire stick).

Perfect cabin with a view

This property was wonderful for our short fishing trip with our grandsons. The view was spectacular overlooking the river and rolling pastures on the opposite banks. The cabin was very well appointed with thoughtful details that made us feel extra comfortable being there. The cabin was very clean, tasteful, and the hosts was very prompt with communications. Would love to go back with the kids or friends again.

Weekend Away

We absolutely loved our stay at Ward Cabin. The weather was very cold, with icy roads predicted. The owners had salted the driveway and walkways before we arrived. The cabin was so beautifully decorated and we loved the fireplace and beautiful views on a snowy weekend. We would love to stay at the cabin again and highly recommend it!
