We really enjoyed our weekend at the cabin. Scott and Michelle were the perfect hosts. They were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Their cabin was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We loved reading their story and seeing their dreams come to life. We enjoyed walking the property and the beautiful views. If you’re in the Des Arc area, we would highly recommend this cabin!

Beautiful clean well stocked cabin in the woods. Freshly remodeled with beautiful woodwork and cozy home feeling. Scott Michelle are great hosts. Close to many fun things to do in the Ozarks like Johnson shut-ins elephant rocks, canoeing hiking and lots of other outdoor activities

A cozy base to explore from
Ironwood Cabin has a cozy feel to it; the common area is nice and open with a view of the wooded hillside. It is private without feeling isolated. Just right for a couple’s getaway. We enjoyed visiting several of the area parks and rivers that are easy to get to from the cabin. There are more than a few areas near the cabin to explore that we did not get to this trip that we look forward to visiting next time.

Wonderful Visit
I had the pleasure of staying for two nights, which was not nearly enough. Michelle and Scott have worked so hard to create a comfortable and very pleasant location to decompress and retreat from the world! The setting is idyllic, and the guest cabin is just perfect. Very comfortable, well stocked kitchen. Their personal touch is everywhere! Cute woodsy knick knacks abound throughout the cottage. It's easy to see how much thought and work they put into creating such a relaxing and perfect location. I visited many local sites, including beautiful waterfalls. Two days barely scraped the surface of attractions. Both Michelle and Scott were gracious, friendly, helpful and did everything they could do to create a perfect retreat. Without reservation, I highly recommend their lovely cottage, and I do plan to return in the future.J. Brent Kooistra
