About this property

Mullins Log Cabin 1850s rustic cabin near Ark Sits on 5 ac 15 min to ARK

My cabin is now closed for Winter. I will reopen in mid April, around the 18th. When you book my cabin, you'll enjoy a quiet neighborhood in the country. If you are a camper, you're going to love it. listen to the tree frogs, crickets, and birds. Expect country things, an ant, fly, bee,wasp. My point. you're in the country, don't expect to find a Jacuzzi or hot tub. Do expect to find a clean shower and clawfoot tub and clean chemical commode. You'll also find sweet smelling sheets and blankets on your bed. I have recently updated my pet rules. I will allow one non shedding dog. please keep it crated while you're away at the ARK.
My cabin rents for $90 per night, plus taxes.
Attention: PLEASE READ!!! Recently, Guest did not stay, after realizing i have a CHEMICAL COMMODE. These are found on RVs and big boats. I keep it sanitary, cleaning with Lysol and other sanitary products. The majority of my guests have no problem, especially guests that are campers, and sleep in tents. It has fireplace and outdoor furniture. and firepit Great place for children to run and play. My cabin has window AC plus a circulating fan. Plus 3 electric heaters to keep cabin and bathhouse warm and cozy. My cabin Has a kitchenette, 2 burner hotplate, pots and pans, refrigerator, microwave. I'm 15 minutes from the ARK. Guests love the country atmosphere. Please read ALL!! descriptions and look at all pictures. My cabin has ONE bed in loft and ONE Queen SOFABED downstairs. Please note!! Stairs are STEEP going to loft bedroom, but has a sturdy hand rail.
Sleeps comfortably 4 people, but room for 2 sleeping bags if you have a large family. I recently have available a small outdoors portable grill with charcoal.

A little too rustic for us

The cabin is cute and cozy. Mrs Judy was so kind and hospitable. We wish it had a real toilet and sink. The bathroom is a lean-to and had a few spaces bugs could enter. (Be sure to turn off the light at night.). It is basically camping- lots of nature all around.

Our cabin experience

The owner/manager was very kind and pleasant to work with. The cabin is adorable and well stocked. The view is very pretty. It was close to our destination, which was the ark encounter. All in all it was a wonderful stay, and we would like to do it again, thank you Judy

Most Excellent

We were most pleased. Judy the Hostess was so gracious and met us on our arrival. We enjoyed her hospitality and appreciated her attention to all the little things that a traveler would want. In addition, we enjoyed spending time in a cabin with such rich history and found our time at the cabin to be a time of peaceful reset. We would definitely stay at the cabin again if in the area.

If you’re looking for a very rustic place, this is for you. We were used to not having running water for a couple years, so it didn’t bother us. Very peaceful

Don't Miss Mullin's Cabin

Everything was wonderful! The quite cabin brings rustic charm to an otherwise busy world 10 min off the highway. Due to the amount of rain, our kids weren't able to play in the creek during our stay or build a campfire, we enjoyed our stay and they were still able to enjoy the open space. Judy had everything ready and prepared for us when we got there and was there to greet us, even though we arrived later than we expected.

Little cabin in paradise!

What a great find! If you want to relax and unplug then this is the place to go. Very quiet and relaxing. The host is wonderful and offers a lot of amenities, many more than what we are used to. She met us there and showed us around. It’s just wonderful there. We enjoyed the front porch a lot just sitting, relaxing, or playing board games. We hope to make it back there at some point. Close to the Ark!

Surprise

I enjoyed staying there-although it took a little time to adjust. It’s very rustic. A step up from camping. I’m not a camper anymore but we had a wonderful time and if I ever get another chance I will do it again.

Miss Judy met us at 3 pm. She showed us how everything worked in the cabin. She had water for us in the small refrigerator, awesome milk. She left a bowl of fruit and cereal for breakfast. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We slept on the sofa bed, which are traditionally not very comfortable, this bed was comfortable we slept very well. Surprisingly the air conditioner that is located in the loft cooled the whole cabin.

Miss Judy's Cabin was wonderful. It was like stepping back in time. Very comfy and quiet. She met us when we arrived and gave us a walk through the cabin and bath house and explained how everthing worked. A great experience if you want to feel like it was back in 1850 but with some updated ammenities.

A step back in time!

Amazing! Surrounded by nature- a small creek right outside the back door. Cabin is charmingly rustic & authentic. The smell of the logs, antique furnishings & decor, authentic lean to bath house with clawfoot tub and propane heated water. You will fall in love with the nostalgia and charm. Judy was a wonderful host quick to recommend local places to eat explore and shop. This is a place to relax and reconnect. Judy hooked me up with some of her wonderful Ivy oatmeal soap for my terrible poison oak rash. So soothing. Highly recommend a stay at Judy's place!! We had an amazing stay!🙂😊😁 thfurnishisurroundings.

Judy was simply precious. She met us at the cabin where she went over the property. She provided the history of the property which was incredible. The cabin is primitive with a modern accommodations. There is a functional bathroom a step out of the back door. The kitchen area has a two burner hotplate, microwave, dorm size fridge, toaster and coffee pot. There isn't a TV but the cabin does have Wi-Fi. We brought a small smart TV for the morning news. The sounds at sundown are a reminder that you are in nature. The mornings were perfect for watching the humming birds eat. We did cook hotdogs on a campfire for the first night. The property is beautifully groomed and would be a great place for a game of cornhole or croquette. We forgot our cornhole. The cabin is close to the Ark Encounter and The Creation Museum.. If you have ever camped and love peace and quiet, this is the place to be. The property is almost like a museum , there is something to see at every turn. Many items are for sell. We plan on returning.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Mullins

Host profile image
I was born and raised on the farm near my cabin. I have children. Grandchildren, and great grandchildren . Im 82 years old. But like to keep active. Im a crafter. I make baskets,handmade soaps, and healing salves. I work one day a week for a friend that has an antique store.
I greet all my guests as they arrive. I think it's rude to not welcome each new guests. Im available to answer any questions, that my guests might have during their stay.

Why they chose this property

The property where my cabin sits. Originally belonged to my great grandfather. This is a quiet neighborhood. Guests remark about it being so peaceful and quiet. I have good neighbors. Always good to help out if needed. I just love country life. Where you can see the stars and fireflies at night. Several years ago. A family arrived after dark. A little child jumped out of car and said Look Mom you can see the stars."
Being in the country, I see all kinds of animals. Early mornings or late evenings. I often see deer. I sometimes see Blue Heron along the creek. Sometimes wild turkeys. Chipmunks, etc Don't worry. We don't have bears!!

What makes this property unique

Im unique. Im the only person in our county that owns an 1850s log cabin rental. We do have a few people that have prefab cabins. Don't worry. I do have AC and fans when it's hot, and electric heaters when it's cold. I started my business 34 years ago. At that time, I only had oil lamps and candles, and no electricity! In the past, I have had guests that thought i had dirt floors, and a straw mattress. However, ive always had wood floors, and a modern mattress.
I do have a few antiques and crafts for sale in my cabin. I work on the honor system. You just make note of what you bought, and leave cash in a guest book!!
