Enjoy a peaceful, secluded Cabin In The Woods experience on the South Fork of the Caddo River. This 80+ acre property is yours to explore with no other homes or cabins on the property. The property extends on both sides of the river with 1200' of river frontage. Enjoy swimming, kayaking, fishing, & casual comfort. It's the perfect location for small families or couples, honeymoons, anniversaries, or even escaping on your own for a private sabbatical. Take family photos or engagement photos! Discounts available for couples without children.
The space
This secluded 1100 sq-ft, 1.5 story cabin sits high above the S. Fork Caddo River. The "cabin in the woods" is surrounded by pine and hardwood, with beautiful views of the river, trees, and surrounding mountains. An amazing deck sits amongst the trees and leads all the way down to the river's edge (116 steps). At the river, the property extends to both sides of the water up and down stream. The wrap around deck at the cabin has outdoor seating, a picnic table, grill (propane tank included), and views at every level. Inside, a comfortable living area flows into a fully equipped kitchen, down the hall to a private bedroom, and upstairs to a large loft bedroom. The single bathroom is small and simple with a full sized tub and shower. The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and twin bed. Upstairs, the loft has a queen bed, full bed, and twin bed.
The outdoor bathhouse will be one of your favorite places to spend time with nature - shower, bathe, or just relax.
3-day minimum stay is required for most weekends. For some holidays, a 4 night stay may be required. Last minute 2-night stays may be accepted for a max of 2 people.
Drinking water is provided since the well water has a sulfur smell.
Guest access
The 80+ acre property around the cabin is yours to explore on both sides of the river. You are unlikely to see another human during your stay unless you venture downstream to the bridge a quarter mile away.
Note: The last mile to the cabin is a dirt road. The last 1/2 mile has some ruts and a steep hill just before arriving at the cabin. Small cars may be ok in dry weather, but a small SUV or better is recommended, especially during rainy or icy weather.
Other things to note
Remote Location! Although only 15 minutes from Glenwood, there are some things to be aware of when visiting a cabin in the woods.
The roads leading to the property are paved until you reach the final mile. The gravel/dirt road is in good shape until you reach the final 1/2 mile. Here, you will encounter ruts in the road that may cause problems for small or low-riding cars. The final portion of the road leads up a steep hill to the cabin. Rain or snow will make the hill slick, so be careful as you ascend the hill, but keep going, don't stop.
The well water sometimes has a sulfur smell. About 6 gallons of drinking water is provided and more can be bought in town if needed, or our caretakers can bring you more.
AT&T works only about 5% of the time at the cabin. Verizon is better at about 50%. Only the landline in the cabin is reliable.
We keep the cabin as clean as possible - inside and out. Since it is a cabin in the woods, you will likely encounter spider webs and other nature outside.
Dogs are not allowed inside (except in some very special cases), but are welcome to stay outside as long as they don't scratch at the door or chew things up. We have a large kennel under the cabin, or you may bring a portable kennel to keep on the back porch.

Location
Caddo Gap, Arkansas, United States
Our remote location is appreciated by most guests. The closest neighbor (our caretaker) is 1/2 mile away. A few other scattered neighbors live further away through the hills, but you are very unlikely to see any of them. A county road bridge borders the east end of the property about 1/4 mile away, and a local family will occasionally use the gravel bars below the bridge as their swimming hole. They stay far away from the cabin area (and may not even know it is there!).
River: The S. Fork of the Caddo river feeds into the main Caddo less than a half mile downstream. It is very clear from October through May (and cold). During June, it is refreshing, cool, and clear, but develops a slightly mossy tint. In July, Aug, and Sept, the water is at its warmest but is still pleasant.

We are an outdoor-loving family of four. Todd and Elaine work as Geoscientists when not enjoying our cabin. We love traveling to places where you will see more animals than people. At our cabin you will have most of the comforts of home while also feeling isolated in the beautiful hills of Arkansas. We'll leave you completely alone unless you need something specific. Our cabin is your cabin during your stay and you won't have any human visitors unless you invite them yourself. Deer, birds, armadillos, squirrels, and an occasional rogue goat may show up unannounced, however! :-) After living in various states around Arkansas for years, we always wanted a place on the river in the Ouachita mountains near the Ozarks. You can't beat swimming in a clear river, fishing along the banks, or kayaking down gentle cascades. In the winter, we love sitting on the porches, watching the birds, and staring out over the mountains.
