About this property

Rustic Log Cabin on private land, with ample gravel roads for horses and ATV’s.

Perfect for horse riding, ATV riding and enjoying nature, (and only 13 minutes from trout fishing on Spring River) our 3 bedroom rustic log cabin is ideal for a relaxing stay! Outside is a wrap around porch with plenty of seating, an outside fireplace with a grill and pizza oven, hitching posts and round pen for horses, a large backyard for playing horseshoes or corn hole and miles of gravel roads for ATVs or horse back riding. Inside is a fully stocked kitchen and a large bathroom with an antique claw foot tub. One bedroom is downstairs with a queen bed, upstairs is the loft made of 100+ year old hand hewn barn beams and two bedrooms. A queen size, comfy futon is downstairs in the living room for extra sleeping. Sleeps 9 comfortably. Outdoor games (horseshoes, kids’ horseshoes, corn hole and croquet) are provided for family fun!

Beautiful, rustic paradise

This was a wonderful, beautiful place to spend our anniversary. The seclusion was what we needed. We had tornadoes the first night there and the owners called that night to check on us. i will definitely be a return customer.

Rustic and serene adventure!

Although it was further out than we thought and climbing to the loft rooms were terrifying and not possible for my elderly parents or toddler it was great to be out in the country away from everything. The property owners were communicative and there were plenty of beds and was very cozy.

Nice, relaxing place to stay

We had a beautiful cabin and a nice spacious yard, and the property owner was so nice and prompt to answer any questions we had. We loved the outdoor pizza oven and grill, and we had so much fun playing the outdoor games that were provided. They also took us on a horse and buggy ride that was quite enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing Get Away

We have family in Mammoth Spring and Ash Flat, so we will become regulars! The outdoor setting was so relaxing! From sitting on the porch rocker listening to Willie, Waylon, and the boys to watching the stars and grilling with my pups. The cozy cabin setting and rain hitting the tin roof was just what the doctor ordered!

Great off-grid stay!

This cabin is exactly what we needed for a quiet weekend getaway! The cabin is absolutely adorable and most of the fixtures/appliances are brand new! We didn’t get a chance to use the pizza oven or fire pit, but we plan to do exactly that come 4th of July when we’re back again! The horses and donkey were super friendly and loved pets! Great family off grid spot!

Adorably charming!

The photos of this property really doesn't do it justice. Was so pleased to find it even better in person! We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and made pizzas in the stone oven. A bit of a learning curve there, but was very fun to do. We took a horse drawn wagon ride around the area and had a great time!

Beautiful Location/ Great Hosts

The cabin was impressive, especially when we found out it was built by the Welchs. They were friendly and very responsive to our needs. We had a large group, there for 6 nights, so there was a need for storage for our clothes and some items we brought with us. But we are a flexible crew and the whole atmosphere totally outweighed any issues. If you stay definitely take the cart ride with Gerald and give Willow a head rub for us. Shes one if the sweetest dog I've met.

Friendsgiving

We absolutely adored this cabin get-away!!! There was nothing about it that wasn't perfect for our group. There were 6 of us women who get together every year close to Thanksgiving to celebrate our friendship. The cabin was cozy without being over-crowded. Everyone had plenty of room to socialize, cook, eat and sleep. The outdoor fireplace was a cozy outdoor gathering spot throughout the chilly weekend as well. We had an early November snow- which is very unusual for this area but, it totally added to the country cabin charm of the weekend. It felt like we were staying in a Christmas Card worthy setting!!! The Cherry on top was the horse and wagon ride!! This was at the top of our list for one of our favorite Girls-trip staying places! And I guarantee we will go back!

A Lovely Vacation Stay and Film Shoot Location!

What a wonderful stay! Mrs. Emerald Welch keeps it sparkling clean (even washing the comforters after each guest) and the decorations are beautiful, fun, and interesting. We kept looking around and seeing something new! The cabin is rustic and comfortable. I just wish we'd had time to try out the pizza oven. :) (We didn't realize until we looked at it that it was a pizza-oven/hearth/grill combination. Bring burgers.) The location is private with little traffic, and the view of the pastureland and horses/mules/donkeys was pretty from the yard and loft. Very, very happy customers. :) Mrs. Welch and her father-in-law, Mr. Welch, gave us permission on some things, working with us to make the cabin an excellent film shoot location for the film we are creating (ThisGeneration.net), and we are planning on using the beautiful horse and buggy for a further clip. They are warm friendly people. Thanks to them for a lovely stay and a successful shoot!

Great place to stay! Loved the area, no light pollution so we could look at the stars at night. My boys loved sitting out by the fire at night. Loved how Willow (dog) visited us daily. It was a nice relaxing small vacay, we went rafting, hiking and just hung out and relaxed. Definitely will be back! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry and Emerald Welch

Host profile image
We are all about enjoying nature and all it has to offer a family. So, on our 100 acres we built a unique, rustic log cabin to look as if it has been in that spot for many years. Many of our friends and family have stayed and suggested that we share it with others who enjoy privacy, nature, fishing, and getting to know each other better as a family. What started as a hobby and something for our out of town friends and family to stay in, has become a nightly rental for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We really don’t go on vacation much. We love it right here! Our property is located in a rural setting, but still close enough to a quaint, friendly town with a large grocery store, Dollar Store and lots of shopping and a State Park convenient enough for supplies and additional entertainment. The cabin and grounds are geared towards ATV riding, horseback riding and adventures. Many creeks and springs are close on the miles of gravel roads, suites for both.

What makes this property unique

The relaxed atmosphere will recharge you. Lazy Mule Cabin is suited for a couple, whole family or multiple couples. We love using the outdoor fireplace for cooking pizzas, cooking a pot of beans over the open fire or grilling hamburgers and steaks on the grill. The stars shine like diamonds while enjoying sitting outside in warm weather, soaking up the breeze, the sounds of frogs and peacefulness.
