Mena, Arkansas
Private and charming Ouachita Mountain cabin With 1 queen bed, 2 singles, queen size pullout couch, Jacuzzi Bath, Open Concept Floorplan With Fireplace—near Mena, AR.
This wonderful cabin is your private retreat in the woods, yet just 3.5 miles on pavement to Mena, AR. It features a fully equipped kitchen with pans, utensils, dishes, paper goods, and linens. Large Jacuzzi bath with complimentary shampoo and body wash, and a separate shower. Cozy fireplace in living area with dvd player and large collection of movies! There is a sun-porch with views of the wooded hillside. In back is a private deck, with flowers, bird feeders, and lots of wooded hillside. Privacy with peace and quiet!.
The cabin sits on several wooded acres, near the border of the Forest Service, and only about 150 ft. from the County Road 402, which is a picturesque way to ride into the National Forest and to Wolfpen Gap, one of the largest trail parks in the state.
We are just 5 minutes from the charming county seat town of Mena, with its nice art district, antique shops, good restaurants, and old-timey downtown with the original buildings from the time the railroads were built and the town was born. We have a grocery, dollar stores, Walmart, a live theater, movie theater, and lots of festivals.
The open concept living room's focal point is a cozy fireplace (it’s gas, an easy way to take the chill off on cool evenings as well as contribute to the cozy ambiance). There is a queen-size canopy bed downstairs as well as two singles upstairs. With the pull out sofa on the sun-porch, there is room for up to six people to stay. We have a Pack-n-play if a baby is a guest too!
There is a flat screen TV (no cable) with DVD and VCR with a large selection of movies! Of course, there is Internet access too, and a desk with chair to do work if you need to.
The charming country kitchen has a view of the living area so whoever is doing food prep can be part of the group. And, the kitchen is equipped with full-size refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, convection oven, coffeemaker, toaster, dishes, and pots and pans. We also stock basic staples such as coffee, sugar, tea, salt and pepper. The local water here is so good you will not need bottled water, and has been tested periodically for safety.
The quiet, paved county road 42 is good for hiking, biking, or just a leisurely stroll after supper to enjoy nature. The beautiful Bethesda Lake is just a few feet up the road and is as beautiful as a park as you walk by.
If you like wildlife watching, just sit outside on your deck (or simply look out any window from your sun-porch) in the morning or maybe at sunset and don't be surprised if you see squirrels and birds watching you.
As owners, we take pride in keeping the cabin up to your expectations. We have long-term trusted housekeepers who love cleaning the cabin just for you. We have been the owners for 20 years, and our goal is to do all we can to ensure your visit here is pleasant.
Activities; Just a half hour to crystal clear Cossatot River, swimming, fishing, tubing. Just minutes to Walmart and theater and shops, including art galleries and antiques. You can ride your ATV from the cabin through the Ouachita National Forest about 6 miles to the WolfPen Gap trails; or trailer ATV and take highway to the Wolfpen Gap trails.

Rustic cabin nicely decorated. Very comfortable beds. Host was very helpful.
lived it very much plan on goin back
Loved everything about this place ! The beds were comfy and the fireplace was terrific and the couch was comfy ! The tub with jets was amazing ! The host was very responsive and very quick to reply back and was awesome also. When I come back to Mena someday , I know where I will be booking to stay again !
My best friend and i needed a quiet place to unwind and just relax without being needed and overstimulated. This was the most perfect getaway. Secluded but not too remote as there is multiple restaurants and stores within driving distance. We'll definitely come back.
We really liked the cabin. Very clean, cozy and quiet area.
it was a great little cosey clean place
Had a great time. Cabin was awesome
Was very relaxing and quiet, while I prefer more space outdoors when I go to the woods, the cabin is very nice and comfortable and the area is quiet and peaceful!
We enjoyed the cabin very much. If it would’ve been warmer weather, I’m sure we would’ve had some fires in the fire ring. It was a little challenge to find but after that everything went very smoothly. Cute place. Thanks.
The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was closer to neighbors than we had expected, but it was still very quiet. The host was easy to reach and very helpful when we accidentally blew a circuit. The surroundings were great, and we would stay here again.
My friend and I enjoyed the cabin space. The jet tub was definitely a bonus. Cabin was close to hiking trails, which we love to do. Highly recommend, especially for the price.
On the positive side: Pretty view of woods from windows, beds are very comfortable, water pressure and water temperature of shower is good; foosball set is fun, cabin is located near Mena. On the negative side: We had no communication with property manager, despite sending 2 messages. Back door lock is flimsy and should have a dead bolt; guidebook is outdated and we had to (for example)figure out the heating/Ac system (b/c there are various units) etc. ; front porch steps and rails are rickety and could use an outside entrance light; shower is EXTREMELY small. Pictures on line of back yard area is misleading. No outdoor strings of lights and from the back porch part of the view is of the RVs parked next door. The TV does not work because the Internet is sporadic. Installation of a booster would be helpful
Nice little cabin , but could us some motion lights outside of the home. It gets very dark outside around the cabin, so it hard to see outside. The brush and woods needs to be cut back some away from the cabin. The cabin needs a Roku Tv that would pick up the internet that is provided at the cabin. But other then that the stay was awesome
It was very peaceful
