Calico Rock, Arkansas
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
If uneven creaky floors, low ceilings and eclectic décor are off-putting to you, please keep looking for your best fit property. We adore the heart and soul that is evident in the decades long rebirth of this old Ozark homeplace. If you appreciate or seek vernacular with flair, keep reading. Oozing with art, craftsmanship and authenticity, this chink log cabin has no other residences in sight. Property location is smack in the zone where hardcore trout fisherfolk seek access on The White and Norfork Rivers.
2024 APRIL ECLIPSE BOOKING DISCLOSURE: The owner artists are coming in from out of state to also experience this phenomenal event. They will be on the property. THey will NOT have access into cabin you see pictured - it will solely be yours. You are not sharing the accomodation with them. But you are bound to bump into them on the property grounds - THey are so cool! They have offered to make this into a real BnB and serve a breakfast if that interests you - it surely does us. WIDE OPEN SKIES on top of the ridge line.
The "holler" or gorge located at the back of 20 acre lot is an extremely unique geological feature. It can be found in a search . While it technically touches this property it is not accessible from this property. Owner and Property Manager do not allow entry. Some third parties do from a different landowner; again, refer to that search you did for Tan Trough. We do not share photos of it here to keep it private from looky-loos.
Please be sure and click through all the photos and read the full description as we think it will answer most questions you have in advance or will need prior to packing up and heading our way.

We enjoyed staying in the cabin; everything was clean and nice! We took a guided trout fishing trip and had a wonderful time.
This place was so cool! Love the old cabin. Every was so clean and nice. Beautiful surroundings. When she called me she was so nice! Definitely a must if you love places that capture old history.
Wonderful place, loved the old cabin and the property was great. The host was friendly and informative. Loved it!!
This is my second time staying at this charming cabin. It’s cozy and feels safe and peaceful. The hand towel holder in the bathroom is not mounted to the wall properly and falls off when you try to dry your hands. Also, the dish rack is broken so there isn’t a great way to dry dishes that isn’t laying a towel out. Small lamp upstairs is missing a lampshade. Little things :)
Super responsive , great host
Nice place.
Wonderful place, loved the old cabin and the property was great. The host was friendly and informative. Loved it!!
With check in and communication expedient, this little place is as advertised. 5 minutes from the White River And the town of Calico Rock, this offered serenity and amenities at an unbeatable price. Cozy is an apt description, yet sleeping arrangements perfect for a family of 4, more for those who are comfortable on a couchsharing beds. For me the highlight was the fire pit outside and wood aplenty, and moreso the record player with a classic library. Easy to fall in love with.

We were very grateful to find this cabin for our stay in Calico Rock. Our trip was not for fun unfortunately, but the cabin was a great sanctuary where we could rest and feel peaceful. The management team was extremely communicative and helpful. They even offered to give us resources since we’re not from the area. I definitely recommend this cabin.
This place was so unique and full of charm. I kept unraveling new interesting features or parts of the house. This is a place for lovers of unique design and cozy rustic vibes. So peaceful and yes, we found the coffee mugs Perfection!
Exceptional place to stay at with family close by! My Sister and pops were only 15 min away different directions. Will definitely be coming back here again the next time visiting family!
We love this place. This was our second time staying here in a month. The location is perfect for a base camp for fishing in the area. We have made some great memories up there! We found the coffee cups. Totally a personal preference, I wish the upstairs floor had a thick area rug with padding on it to help cut down on noise.
We decided to leave Sunday afternoon and drive up to Dry Run Creek before our 15-year-old turned 16. What a great trip and a perfect place to stay! Close to everything we needed and far enough out to get away for a couple of days! We will be back very soon for soon with Momma and Sister. It was all pretty perfect but the coffee cup situation was lacking. :)
Neat eclectic cabin. My only complaint is the grass was too long to make use of the yard.
The property Is in a Perfect location between Mountain Home and Mountain View.

Had a great stay for the weekend. This place has so much unique stuff and definitely eccentric. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook. Totally loved the bathtub.

We had a great stay—the location is easy to find, the cabin was super cute, and it’s in decent proximity to lots of activities along route 5. The rental company was so communicative and helpful. Would go again!
Loved staying here. Sweet little rural cabin near some beautiful scenery. We enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Had a cleaning hiccup on arrival, but they were super fast to come fix everything. I would definitely stay with IvyVacations again. Highly recommend.
Will be back!
Nice unique cabin.
This is the perfect get away space. It has everything you need to have a comfortable stay while having space to yourself - lovely decor that makes you feel at home- super restful space. The birdsong is so lovely.
Our stay in the ozarks was perfect. The cabin is quirky and the property is beautiful. It is located close to area hikes and water holes. Communication with property manager was great and the cabin was clean. It was a lovely stay!
Everything about my stay was fabulous, will be booking again next time I come to calico
