A-frame Lakefront Cabin near Spring River

-Visit Griffin Pub located on the far end of the neighborhood for food, drinks, karaoke and pool.
-Enjoy winding mountain roads with spectacular views into the river valley.
-Visit one of the largest antique stores in the whole area just up the hill at Hardy Village Antiques.
-Take a trip back in time just down the hill in historic Main Street Hardy with a collection of local craft stores, antique malls, restaurants, and other specialty stores.

Nice weekend getaway

Myself, my husband, and my father in law came out fir Easter weekend. The property is as described in the listing. We did not encounter any issues. Nice and quiet right on the water. We were able to do plenty of fishing off the dock and right off the deck. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

Cozy getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin on a private lake. It was a great location for us since we were driving to various hiking locations in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri. Check in was super easy with the keypad entry. The views of the lake were beautiful in the morning & evening.

Peaceful and Beautiful at the Bungalow!

This was a Wonderful place to stay. After work I would enjoy the evening on the deck watching the ducks and fish. The deck is literally at the edge of the water. Cabin is very clean with everything you need. The owner was very good to deal with and made sure I had everything I needed. It is very close to town, but you feel like you are in the deep woods on a beautiful lake.

Great weekends getaway

Best friend’s enjoyed a weekend away before school starts back. The house is cute and in the perfect location. Drinking coffee on the porch while watching wildlife was the best part! The kids kayaked and the mom’s tied our tubes together and lounged in the lake. It was a fun weekend!

Weekend getaway

Great stay. In fact, this place altered our weekend getaway. We originally planned to play in the Spring River but found everything we needed at the cabin. Checking in/out was a breeze. The lake water was very clear and if you were standing on the deck looking down you had the perfect aquarium view. Many fish and turtles were visible below the surface and really interesting to watch. Had a great meal at the Corner Booth cafe, found a couple treasures shopping, and enjoyed all the wildlife local to the cabin. It was quiet, cool, and charming. Great time!

The bungalow was absolutely adorable. Sleeping was very comfortable and the house was quite accommodating for a long weekend. We enjoyed our stay with visiting the town of Hardy, fishing and hanging out in the Spring River. Would stay here again for another little get away!

Peaceful

Quiet, peaceful setting. My husband enjoyed fishing. We both enjoyed sitting on the deck and dock watching the fish near shore, turtles and ducks. Nice charcoal grill. Gravel road this is on is steep; even our 2wd truck was challenged.It’s one lane. We met a vehicle coming from the other direction and had to stop on the hill. Tried to resume going up and couldn’t; had to back down the hill, let car come down then go back up. Don’t believe a car without AWD would do well unless they got “ a running start “.

1st Family Vacation

Check in was amazing, had a little cleaning of dishes to do, but my wife is a little more OCD about those things than i am. It is definitely named correctly, we caught pleanty of brimm, and a couple of nice sized turtles, my oldest son did catch 1 bass. Well worth everything, it was a perfect get away to me.

Weekend getaway cabin experience

This property is well maintained and has all the conveniences you need for a relaxing getaway. It’s private, would not say secluded. Great communication from our host and no issues to note. As a bonus we woke up to a beautiful snow scene our first morning. Thank you for a relaxing cabin experience in the cute town of Hardy!

About the host

Hosted by Justus Smith

I am a native of Memphis, TN working in the information technology industry. I am a veteran of the US Marine Corps and graduate of the University of Memphis. I am an avid football and basketball fan for University of Memphis. I especially love the outdoors. Fishing and kayaking/rafting are my favorite outdoor activities.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property for a few reasons. First is stunning location. Perched on the side of a mountain, so close to the lake shore that you can't see anything but water when looking through the back windows; you can't help but be impressed. Second is the unique architecture of the cabin. A-frames are such neat buildings in my opinion and offer great efficiency. Third would definitely be the opportunity to fish and boat at my leisure as my property includes access to the lake.

What makes this property unique

-A back deck so close to the water that you can literally fish off of it.
-Local water fowl who come looking for treats. (ducks and geese)
-Great fishing on a lake only accessible to home owners and their guests
-Within 5 minutes of all local night life
