This was the most beautiful cabin. Perfect for relaxing with our family. Hot tub was great at night. Drinking coffee and looking out at the river in the morning was so peaceful. Bathrooms were so nice. And beds were comfy.
My sisters and brothers in law loved the house. We enjoyed hearing the water in the creek, the quiet, the hot tub, and the lovely decor. We were close enough to Queen Wilhelmina state park in Arkansas to go there and relive some childhood memories.
Our family had a wonderful stay at this home. It is very secluded and located on a calm, clean river. The kitchen had everything we needed to take care of our family of 6. While we enjoyed the peace and quiet, we also appreciated having internet service that allowed us to work when needed and stream movies for the kids.

In Love With The Cabin. This is the nicest rental cabin we have stayed in!! We loved the layout, the view, the amenities!! The master suite is divine, with the 3 bedroom, 3 bath setup works so well when staying with friends. The hot tub on the back deck was enjoyable! Wish we had been staying longer, I wasn't ready to leave. Thank you for having such a nice place to relax and enjoy!

The Rivers Edge
The cabin was incredibly cozy and secluded, perfect for a quiet getaway with stunning views of the surrounding forest and river. The cabin was very well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. We had a wonderful time at The Rivers Edge, the deck with the hot tub offered amazing views of the river behind the cabin. Everything was super clean and well maintained. We will be coming back!

From the owner: "Our plan is to have outdoor chair cushions in the very near future. Thank you. Please come again."
What an amazing stay we had in your beautiful home. We were all blown away by how homey it was. From the well made beds and very clean inside, to an already built fire pit river side, thank you! We arrived anticipating a nice stay, and left wishing we could all live here. The preparations you make to keep this place well kept are worth it. Keep it up. From the medic class of 2024, a big thank you!!!!

Beautiful Cabin!!
Te cabin was beautiful. Set on property surrounded by pine trees and along the Kiamichi River. Sitting on the deck you can listen to and watch the river from the hot tub or the bistro. It’s so peaceful! The inside is spacious, we had everything we needed to cook meals and clean. The house was clean. The house contact was super responsive and friendly. He even got us a tea kettle to use at our request. I will book here again in the future.

Scenic, serene, and super relaxing!
My husband and I took our three kids out here for spring break. Ages 5-12. We only left the cabin once in a five day period to get groceries and check out the scenery, otherwise we spent nearly the entire trip at the cabin. This place was perfect. It was private, scenic, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Hot tub was an added bonus and so nice to relax in at night. The property is huge so we got to take a few hikes just outside of the house. The sound of the water from the creek was my favorite! We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and serene place to get away! Loved it!
