About this property

Arkansas River Frontage, Cozy Cabin with AC, WiFi in gorgeous Howard pets ok

Welcome to the newly remodeled River Shack. Unwind in Howard at this cool cabin. With 1 bedroom, AC, and WiFi, this pleasant retreat offers a cozy escape for guests. The cabin sits on an acre of land with 70 feet of PRIVATE Arkansas River frontage. Fish the day away from your own private shore or just lounge by river and listen to the river flow. The river access is a short walk down the driveway or take the path behind house. This small cabin boasts a comfy Queen bed, stocked kitchen and full bath.
There is plenty of parking for large vehicles, RVs, trailers, rafts, paddle boards, etc. A great place to call homebase while you're away, we hope you enjoy your stay. Pets are allowed but must be declared upon booking and a $25 per pet per stay is a required payment.
Entire house is yours for your stay. To use the private river frontage just walk down the gravel drive or drive your car down to river where drive turns left, stay straight there and pull up near the picnic table.
The 70 feet of river is marked by an old wooden chair and you’ll see a wooden picnic table and two plastic lounge chairs. Our frontage is all the shore between the tall wooden fence on right and a house on left with copper roof. There are large rocks on each side of property line.

Lovely property. The bed was comfortable, we were happy to have air conditioning and plenty of space for the puppies to run around and time to relax at the river. The property is close to the road so something to be aware of as cars come very fast so we made sure to keep a close eye on the puppies. The host checked in a few times to make sure we were satisfied. Overall a fantastic stay

Jaime was a wonderful host and helped give some advice on areas to visit as well as hikes to go on. The cabin was beautiful and well kept/maintained. The private riverfront property was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed for morning coffee, a romantic dinner, and star gazing. I absolutely would recommend this property to anyone looking to getaway and unplug.

This property was so lovely and well-outfitted, especially for a small place. Often rentals allow pets but make you feel unwelcome for bringing them - but this one had dog toys at the property! It's a beautiful area, the host was very responsive, and my spouse and I (and the dogs!) loved our stay.

Great location! The private boat ramp would be spectacular in the summer. You can't see the river from the house like I expected, but it's not too far of a walk to enjoy it.
