Garden Lane A-frame cabin right on Irons Fork river
Escape to our cozy A-frame cabin, nestled along the banks of the Irons Fork river which flows into beautiful Lake Ouachita. Surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest, the Garden Lane A-frame offers a tranquil retreat where you can immerse yourself in nature while enjoying modern comforts.
Inside the A-frame you’ll be welcomed by the rustic charm of soaring ceilings and large windows that frame picturesque views of the river and surrounding forest. The open-plan living area is furnished with comfortable seating, a wood-burning stove, and a well-equipped kitchen where you can whip up delicious meals.
Retreat to the bedroom on the main floor, featuring a memory foam queen-sized bed and soft linens for a restful night's sleep. Right next door is a spacious spa-like bathroom with a large soaking tub that's perfect for relaxing after a day in nature.
Follow the stairs to the next level where a second bedroom and additional memory foam queen-sized bed awaits you. There is a bathroom with a walk-in shower for guests on this level as well. For another sleeping space, make your way to the cozy loft area where a queen-sized pull out sofa bed with a memory foam mattress is perfect for kids or extra guests.
Spend leisurely afternoons lounging on the spacious deck, listening to the soothing sounds of the river. Hop in one of two kayaks available on site to float down the river, or grab a life jacket and jump in for a quick cool down in the middle of the summer! Fire up the grill for a barbecue feast or gather around the fire pit for s'mores and stargazing.

Everything about this place is exactly what you would expect and more. The cabin was clean and stocked with just about everything you need. The host was extremely kind. She checked on us during our visit and after. We had a great weekend digging for crystals and exploring Hot Springs. We will definitely be referring this beautiful cabin to friends and family.
This house is so cute! The perfect size and every inch is very well thought out. The vibe is so cool. The perfect getaway. I will definitely come back.
This location and house were perfect. It is less than 20 mins from Lake Ouachita, which was what we were looking for. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We came with our three kids, and they loved it. We will definitely be back. The owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with.
Pictures don’t do it justice! The house was immaculate, very well stocked, and stunning. It’s right on the water and gorgeous. We spent hours on the water with the kayaks and paddle boards. We fished a ton. We even saw a bald eagle flying above the backyard! The property is just so serene and peaceful. I very much enjoyed having coffee on the deck each morning and listening to all of the birds. The host was very quick to respond to questions. Beds were very comfortable. We had absolutely everything we needed and more. The scenery is amazing. This vacation was absolutely perfect and we are already discussing when we can return!
The house is stunning, the decor is perfect, fully equipped throughput the house with whatever you may need. Good sound system, some things were too high tech for us to figure out, but we're seniors, so that's on us. The river is right in front of the back deck; beautiful scenery.There are a lot of surrounding excursions, hiking, driving thru the woods on paved trail, specifically Richardson Bottom. Stop when you reach the marsh and take it all in very quietly. (Don't continue forward on the road in; turnaround.) Great shops Mt Ida, best burgers at Blue Bell in Story. Plenty of hiking beyond the neighborhood the A Frame is in Comfy, clean, quiet place, but I see how a family could have a lot of fun! Great host communication!

About the host
Hosted by Angela Alexander
We have two sweet teenaged girls and 2 big, fluffy dogs. I've always loved escaping city life to head to the woods, whether it's for camping, staying in a cabin, or just going for a hike. This a-frame cabin is my dream come true...a cozy place to get away from it all, right on the river, and surrounded by a national forest. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Why they chose this property
The Garden Lane A-frame is in a small neighborhood that used to be a cattle farm. The neighborhood borders Irons Fork Creek/River and is surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest. This area is home to a section of the 2nd largest quartz crystal vein in the world!
What makes this property unique
Our A-frame is right on the Irons Fork River where you can play in the water all day! We are minutes away from hiking trails, 13 miles from North Shores Marina, and just 30 minutes away from several crystal mines.
