About this property

Secluded River Cabin Retreat with Outdoor Bathhouse and Kayaks

Looking for a place to get away from it all? Don't want any neighbors nearby? Our Cabin-in-the-Woods is the perfect retreat for anniversaries, honeymoons, or just a quiet place to escape by yourselves. Enjoy views of the river and Ouachita Mountains from the wrap around porch while you drink your morning coffee. Swim, kayak, tube, or paddle boat alone in the wide section of river at the base of the steps. Hike some trails through 80 acres of pine forest and hills. Enjoy bathing in the outdoor bathhouse while enjoying the secluded view. There is no chlorinated pool, but the clear river and bathhouse are even better!

The deck includes a grill and patio furniture, as well as two porch swings and chairs. There are 118 steps down to the river since the cabin sits high above the surrounding hills. The views on the way down are beautiful, and the hike on the way back up will leave you breathless! :-)

Both sides of the river are part of the property, and no other cabin or home sits on the 80 acres to help provide that true secluded get-away experience! The property enjoys 1/3 mile of riverfront and has about 4 miles of private trails. (Note: the trails are currently under re-construction between guests and may be messy through summer 2025)

Other things to note:
-Dogs for couples without kids will be considered if they do not shed, do not chew or scratch, and will be kept clean. A pet fee is required. Contact owner before booking.
-The final 1/2 mile to the cabin is a rough dirt road. A small suv or truck is recommended, but a car should be okay if the weather is dry. This is a cabin in the woods, so even though we strive to keep it very clean, you may encounter some spiderwebs, bugs, and other nature.
-Three security cameras are located outside. Two point at the driveway area, and the other points toward the river. They may be turned off (if they aren't already off).
-The forest was thinned in Dec 2024 so the trails are currently under re-construction (between guests). The property is still fun to explore, but the trails have tripping hazards right now.

About the host

Hosted by Todd

Host profile image
We're a family of 4 who enjoy hiking and river activities. We enjoy sharing our cabin with friends and guests. We grew up in Missouri, live in Texas, vacation in Arkansas. We love getting away from it all and enjoying the clear, secluded S.Fork Caddo River!

Why they chose this property

This cabin is the perfect place to escape from the city and enjoy being alone in nature. We love being outdoors and enjoy relaxing in the hammock, sitting on the back porch, swimming in the river, or kayaking. We love people, but when we are on vacation, we'd rather see nature than other humans. We get to be completely on our own at the cabin!

What makes this property unique

The seclusion and outdoor bathhouse are a unique feature of the property! You will enjoy relaxing in the tub or shower in a private, yet close to nature setting. Honeymooners, anniversary couples, or anyone looking for something different will love the feeling of freedom that comes with an outdoor bathhouse, and with the seclusion around the cabin. Four miles of private trails wind through the pine and hardwood forest on both sides of the river.
