Great place to stay if you want 5 stars

This is a very nice place to stay on the river. The cabin is perfect for a couple, the river is just outside the door, and you can catch trout from the bank. 5 stars all the way.

Great stay

Overall a very good stay! Beautiful cabin, clean, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The cabin is nestled between the owner's home and neighbors but is very quiet and peaceful. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back when it's a little warmer, and hopefully, trout are biting, lol. Highly recommend!

Cozy and comfortable

Although it was chilly outside our cabin was warm, cozy and relaxing. We had fun cooking, baking, doing puzzles, fishing, enjoying the amazing dock and eating trout. Ron and Ginger were so welcoming and helpful. We love Heber Springs Arkansas and the Red River.

Great hospitality and beautiful view

Ron and Ginger were wonderful hosts and gave us a lot of information for things to do and places to go. The cabin was beautiful and perfectly stocked. The views were amazing. We loved sitting on the deck enjoying the view of the river. We didn’t catch any fish this time but it was a lot of fun trying.

Great trip

Our stay here was wonderful. The cabin was comfortable and well stocked. The view from the back porch was beautiful. The river was extremely peaceful. Ron and Ginger treated us like family. Ron took time out of his day and even fished with me for awhile. We were looking for a place to rest and unwind and this was perfect. We will stay here again.

We couldn’t have picked a better spot to stay in Heber Springs. Ron was the best host I’ve ever experienced. The kindest man! Shared fishing tips and advice, lures and was sure to check in on us when a storm blew through. The house was perfect, the views were amazing and the fishing was good! We are already wanting to plan a trip back. It was the best weekend getaway.

Sweet cottage

I reserved the cottage for a Father’s Day weekend for my husband. He recently started trout fishing and this weekend was my gift to him. It was really hot that weekend so he limited his fishing time but enjoyed it. The cottage is just a few steps from the owner’s home which is convenient. The beautiful property had lots of options for sitting outside and watching the river roll by. The cottage was perfect for our weekend get away.

Great river getaway

We had a wonderful 5-night stay at the Cabin at Cow Shoals. We’ve visited the area for over 20+ years, and this was the absolute best rental ever. The cabin was well stocked, with all the little details taken care of. Ron and Ginger were terrific hosts, ensuring we had everything we needed. Ron took us fishing one afternoon, and my lifetime fish count has easily doubled after his lessons. We can’t wait to return so I can practice setting the hook! Seriously, I’ve stayed at 5-star resorts that didn’t take care of me as well as we were taken care of at the Cabin at Cow Shoals! I know this will make it harder for us to get future reservations, but don’t pass up an opportunity to stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Ron Hicks

Host profile image
My wife Ginger and I are retired transplants from Little Rock. We have been fishing the river for 25 years and bought our place twelve years ago.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is a modern cabin that appeals to the fishermen but also to the women that come also. We have three different decks that look out at the river. All of the comforts of your home are here along with the tranquil sound of the river.

What makes this property unique

We are just a short distance from Greers Ferry Lake, the Toy Train Museum, Sugar Loaf Mountain for hiking, and Bridal Veil Falls, a stunning waterfall.
