About this property

A-frame Lakefront Cabin near Spring River

Bluegill Bungalow is a rustic A-frame cabin, nestled along the bank of private Lake Kiwanie. Situated on a former rustic resort that has retained all of its charm and beauty. Glide across our private lake on our two included guest kayaks. Relax and take in the sights and sounds of nature on the deck; so close to the lake that you can cast your fishing line over the railing!

-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.

Ideal place for spouse and I to recharge

The A frame property over the large pond/tiny lake was exactly what we needed to feel secluded from the crazy life hubbub. Neighbors were quiet and thoughtful as they peacefully fished in their boats or from their docks. The kitchen, living area and the one bathroom is downstairs. Upstairs is just a bed and another twin bed. Tv up and down. The heater/air worked great. The deck and grill was awesome. The huge windows of the main area made me feel outside the whole time. The kayaks also a plus. The fire pit was fun too! The only “down side” is Hardy itself.its not bad but it is tiny and I feel very out of the city and a little out of place there. If you don’t plan on leaving the location it is five star!!! But if you plan on getting out, the location is not as ideal. Would rather be at Hot springs, Mountain View, or Eureka Springs if you want a cute city to tour. Since my goal was to relax and stay as much as possible, we were completely pleased. Rate was good. And all the service was great. We just secluded ourselves and took a retreat as husband and wife in a a great A frame and view property.

Anniversary getaway

We enjoyed the quiet, the small wildlife, and peacefulness of the lake. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. Our only criticism would be the coffee pot. It kept shutting off before it made a full pot, and didn’t keep the coffee hot. Other than that, all good.

Quick weekend get away

Quaint, quiet little area that is away from everything but close to Walmart and a few restaurants. Loved the nature scene. Cabin was fully equipped. Keeps a few left over spices so you don’t have to bring “everything”. We really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely visit again!

Amazing!

Best place to go! Our second time staying and will definitely be back! Our kids loved it and so did we! They caught a ton of fish and swam and roasted smores! My father which is disabled even caught some off the dock and deck of the house! Worth every penny! Words just can’t explain the experience we had!

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.

Amazing and serene

Absolutely gorgeous it’s so peaceful. We enjoyed standing on the balcony, watching the fish and cooking out doing and doing s’mores. The Netflix was amazing. The bed was super comfortable upstairs and we are looking forward to coming back again. We enjoyed going to the water at the hardy river and taking a swim there were so many different places to swim. the cabin was absolutely gorgeous and amazing. It was super clean.

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!

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 “.

About the host

Hosted by Justus Smith

Host profile image
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
