-On site canoeing, kayaking, river tubing, swimming, fishing, hiking, horseshoes, volleyball, basketball, tether ball.  Near crystal mining, horseback riding, biking, hiking, ATV trails.  Shuttle service available.


 -Canoeing the Ouachita River at any time of the year offers visitors a chance to view towering rocky bluffs and riverbanks sprinkled with wild flowers while winding through the rugged and undeveloped National Forest.  The pleasant temperatures and brilliant seasonal color displays of fall and spring, the cooling and refreshing effect of moving water and shade trees during the heat of summer, make March to November the most popular times to enjoy this trip. The family-friendly river flows casually past massive rock bluffs shaded by tree-lined banks and slopes.
-Free of commercial development, the Ouachita is a gentle river with occasional Class I-II rapids separated by flat-water pools.  Fishing is excellent, with an abundance of bass (mostly smallmouth, largemouth and spotted), bluegill, catfish, green and longear sunfish, walleye and any number of other species.   

-Mother Nature blessed the Ouachita Mountains with the most beautiful quartz crystal in the world.  Mount Ida is known as the "Quartz Crystal Capital of the World".  We welcome all rock hounds, both amateur and professional, no crystal cleaning allowed in cabin though and please do not leave us your crystals :)

-Womble Trail, Ouachita Trail,  and Lake Ouachita Vista Trail are nearby EPIC mountain biking and hiking trails.  There are other secluded, forest trails such as Fourche Mountain Trail, available for exploring on your ATVs.  Just a few feet away from your cabin are short trails into the National Forest.   
]-We are located near one of the darkest sky places in Arkansas and you can easily see the Milky  Way.  You will see fireflies in season and you might catch sight of an occasional Bald Eagle, Blue Heron or Road Runner.

We live on site in our home/office and are available to assist you if you need help with anything :)

No smoking inside the cabin.  
Quiet hours 10:00 PM - 7 AM

Casual forest retreat
The cabin was simple and cozy with a big front deck and views over the river. The river bank has some fun activities for the kids like swings and basketball. It was a nice getaway.

Great for sxs trails
My brother and I stayed here so that we could Get direct access to Fort Mountain Trail and the Washington national forest system. Both are spectacular and by staying here we didn’t have to trailer our four wheelers anywhere we could get to both trails right from this location which made it a breeze. Jan was awesome host and we enjoyed speaking with her and everyone at the camp. Looking forward to going back and doing this again

Just ok
When we arrived the host was very warm and welcoming. Aside from the property had a few issues our stay wasn’t bad and it was nice to get away from technology. The cabin could definitely use some deep cleaning. The AC unit will freeze (we were told but didn’t try out) if you turn it below 78/80, so the cabin always pretty hot. You have to sleep with fans on because the ac doesn’t come on after the sun goes down because the temp decreases but the humidity does not. For what we paid per Night for our stay, one could replace the ac unit. Also the king size bed sits on the ground on two box springs. A bed frame would be a nice touch. Other than that the unit had lots to do. We enjoy the old radio but the volume takes a bit of a learning curve. This was our first time to the area.. I’m not sure I’d ever return here with the availability of other options.
