Mountain View, Arkansas
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
LIVINGSTON CREEK! What a hidden treasure that you can explore by foot for a mile upstream into the wilderness. It runs year round and has pop-up waterfalls across the bank after rains. You can also hear the creek from the screened windows and porches during wet seasons. The creek is shallow, not boat navigable, but trout run up in the cooler months. For decades the owners have welcomed flocks of bluebirds to this property that return year after year. This property has the soul of its artists' owners throughout: local crafts, books about the area, local made furniture. It is a quintessential Ozark getaway.

Very nice with a clear creek to view
This Cabin was very Cute and Cozy! Felt like you were in a Country/modern Farm Cabin. Very Peaceful and Relaxing. Love the creek. We will Definitely stay here again. ?
Amazing little spot. Was perfect for my husband’s birthday and spending family time with the kids around the bonfire ? and the creek is a must see!
A good weekend getaway but a little disappointed in a couple of things. There were several positives to this stay but just a few things that would’ve improved our stay. The creek was not a swimming option so definitely something to note for those looking to have creek access for swimming or fishing. There is no air conditioning in the second bedroom which made for a warm two nights with two kids so not much sleep was had. The inside was very clean but the outside needs some attention. We cleaned off areas to put our things on and cleaned the back table and chairs to be able to sit down to eat. The Baggo board was broken so that was a little difficult to play and the chairs by the campfire were rusted and worn out so bring your own. Overall, a cute cabin that would be great for spring or fall when cooler.
This is a great little cabin on a great piece of property! We loved it!
Such a special location with a lot of privacy and lots of space outdoors. Wonderful location on the creek and nearby local national forests. Will be back again!
Great home- tucked away on a quiet creek. High recommend the area and house. 5 mins away from many attractions. Would stay again
Great place for our family for Father's Day. The kids played at the creek, we used the nice grill and ate on the back porch. Lovely weekend.
The kids loved the little creek

This place is very nice. We used it as our base during Thanksgiving week to explore the hiking trails, fishing spots, state parks and national forest. It is a quiet place but very well located and easy to access. The creek by the house kept my kids busy while they fished. House was clean, and cozy. Kitchen was well equipped (even if no dishwasher). The hosts were very responsive whenever we had questions. We would definitely go back.
what a charming place. hard to find a creekfront cabin in area. this hit the spot. you can tell the owners have cherished this nook in the ozarks. Feels so comforting. it's not slick like an ikea cabin. this is an artists owned retreat. loved the books and the little touches throughout. super clean. we saw some mink playing in the creek and the blue birds - aptly named. The management company Ivy vacations were easy peasy and friendly to work with - we're regulars of theirs.
We spent a lot of our time on the deck and down by the creek. The weather was perfect for relaxing outdoors. In the morning we saw Cardinals, Blue-birds and red-headed Woodpeckers. We spent one evening around the fire-pit and had such a great time! Thank you, Ivy Vacations, for your great service.
This was a fantastic experience! The house is perfectly located, with privacy yet near enough to a small town to get food and fuel. The house was super cute, very clean, and had great touches such as bird seed to feed the birds, games for indoors and outside, etc. Our favorite part was that the back yard had a creek running along it, so we spent most of our time playing in it. It wasn't deep enough to fish in, but we did catch crayfish. I would have loved to stay for a week if we would have had time! The check in was easy, and the owners were great and clear with communication. 100% would recommend!!!

The cabin was great. It was very clean and nicely furnished. It was a bit smaller than the pictures showed it to be. The communication was excellent and I would recommend it!
It was very easy renting the property. The owner was very helpful.

This is a lovely, quiet spot. Neighbors are a fair distance away. The creek is really nice. We put out bird food and got some surprises (hello there little nuthatch!). Close enough to Mountain View that we could just buzz into town without any hoopla. We will definitely return. I had to sweep the deck before we could enjoy it - not a big deal, but I wasn’t excited about it. There wasn’t a single sharp knife (as per usual in rentals. I give this feedback every time).
So peaceful

Great
Everything from the checkin to check out was very smooth. The little creek in the property deserves an extra star! Me and my friends had a great time together.
Overall, the place was nice. The enclosed portion is kind of misleading. The house is on stilts and there is an area below it that is partially fenced off. The washer and dryer are below the house in that area. It rained the day before we left so that area was pretty muddy. Kitchen equipment is adequate if basic. There is a toaster oven, microwave and crock pot, but minimal pots and pans, cookie sheets, etc. It's just fine if you aren't planning to do a lot of cooking. Bedrooms are connected by a door. There are two bathrooms but one is en suite in one bedroom and the other is across the hall from the bedroom that has the bathroom in it. Only one shower, the en suite bathroom is actually a half bath.
Wonderful 4 nites at sweet cabin on the creek. Quiet, well equipped , clean and comfortable cabin. Porch has good furniture and view of bubbling creek. Dog had terrific time as owners sitting in cool waters. Beds were perfect and a/c cold. Enjoyed ourselves!

Great location for a wonderful and peaceful getaway. My pup loves the creek and surrounding water and hiking trails. Fire pit was fantastic. Will definitely be back.
