Fern Rock Mountain Retreat

Set on 16 private acres in the mountains, Fern Rock offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and flexibility for groups.

This listing includes access to the full property—Fern Rock Lodge, Fox Den, and Fawn Hideaway—accommodating up to 14 guests across three separate spaces. It’s an ideal setup for families, friend groups, or retreats who want to stay together while still having room to spread out.

Spend your days exploringthe property, relaxing outdoors, or heading into Hot Springs, then gather in the evenings for meals, conversation, and time together.

The Lodge – Main Gathering Space

At 2,200 sq ft, Fern Rock Lodge is the centerpiece of the property, offering four private bedrooms and spacious common areas for your group.

The main floor features an open living area with a fully equipped kitchen, dining space for shared meals, and multiple areas to relax. A wraparound porch and the screened treetop porch provide additional space to dine, unwind, and take in the mountain views.

Fox Den – Private Cabin with Hot Tub

Located just steps from the lodge, Fox Den is a 390 sq ft one-bedroom cabin designed for a more private, self-contained stay.

It includes a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living area, and a private deck with a hot tub. A nearby fire pit makes it a great spot for quieter evenings or a separate space within the larger property.

Fawn Hideaway – Additional Guest Space

Fawn Hideaway is a 160 sq ft one-room cabin near Fox Den, featuring a queen bed and mini-fridge.

It works well as additional sleeping space and shares kitchen and bathroom access with Fox Den, making it a natural extension of that cabin.

Outdoor Spaces

The property is designed to make the most of its natural setting:

Walking trails across 16 acres
Spring-fed pond
Hammocks and outdoor games
Fire pit and gathering areas
Mountain views from porches and decks

The screened treetop porch and “The Perch” deck offer elevated views and a peaceful place to relax, dine, or spend time together.

Location

Fern Rock is tucked into a quiet mountain setting off Highway 209 (The Rattler), about 30 minutes from Hot Springs.

The seclusion is part of the experience, so we recommend bringing supplies with you before arriving.

4WD or AWD is recommended due to steep driveways, especially in poor weather.

Good Fit For:
Well-suited for large families, friend groups, or small retreats looking for space, privacy, and time together in a natural setting.

    What a wonderful getaway!! Leah and Wes were great hosts. Thank you for the wine. We enjoyed it the first night. Sat around the fire every night, really enjoyed the screened in porch and viewing deck and the hammocks were awesome. They are right about cell service but personally, I loved that! Will definitely come back!! Thank you so much!!

    My now wife and I needed a beautiful location to host our two families for an intimate wedding weekend that could be more or less fully contained on the property. Fern rock was perfect. An incredible place for a small group to spend time for any occasion. Leah and Wes accommodated is fully.

    We came up to celebrate our daughters birthday. Having the whole property was fantastic. We were able to have a large group but also stay socially distant. The pond was a great little play space. We just had a great time.

    The cabins were absolutely wonderful and beautifully maintained. The group felt like we were at a mountain retreat for the weekend and could not have asked for a better stay!

    We went there with our son and daughter... they each brought some friends and it was wonderful to have the multiple cabins as well as the main lodge to all come together for dinner! Just a splendid place! We have been coming to Hot Springs for years and this was the best place we have rented!

    Carol was extremely easy to work with and did a very good job communicating. The property was bigger than I expected which was great because that gave us a reason to explore. Everything was cleaned and well organized. The hot tub was fantastic in the evenings and the floating porch was a gem in the mornings to drink coffee. I would definitely go back.

    Carol and Doug were great hosts. Fern Rock was the mountain retreat our family needed. We were able to unplug and unwind. We hope to return soon!

    Our entire group loved this gorgeous property with room for everyone, beautiful trails, fun spring fed pond, and well equipped lodging. The owners have us friendly tips on local events and were super quick to respond to questions. We love this spot and loved the town of Hot Springs! Thank you Fern Rock Lodge!
