My husband and I recently stayed at this cabin for four days during our first trip to Arkansas. We both agree that the time that we spent at this cabin was the most memorable part of our entire, 10 day trip - we absolutely loved it! As the name implies, this cabin is remote! If you are expecting to stay in the woods and pop into town as you need for dinner or supplies, this is not the cabin for you. However, if you want to really "see" and "hear" the Ozark National Forest without sleeping in a tent, then this is the perfect getaway. Though Jill was out visiting family during our stay, her husband Rex (and their three, friendly dogs) made us feel right at home. The cabin is on the property of their home (which is good in case something like a flat tire, etc. does in fact happen) and we had a great time visiting with Rex! If you love and appreciate nature, this is the perfect Ozark destination. The cabin is located on a high spot in the Ozark National Forest and in the evenings, the clouds roll in and blanket the entire area with cool fog. We loved sitting on the porch of the cabin and watching the fireflies dance and listening to the grey tree frogs call. We saw a ton of wildlife, including a 3-toed box turtle, snapping turtle, and several Luna moths. We also saw some cool critters at the nearby swimming hole. The cabin is very close to a trailhead for the OHT and we were able to do some area hiking (although in retrospect the summer is not the best time to hike due to the ticks!) Though it takes a bit of driving, the cabin is not too far away from Hawksbill crag (a must see) and the Buffalo River. We managed several great day trips during our stay, but our favorite part was returning to the cabin every evening for the peace of the forest. Again, I must reiterate that the location is remote; however, if you exactly follow Jill's instructions (followed her map - not Google's, fill up your gas tank, check your tires, and bring your own food and beer) you will have no trouble whatsoever. The cabin had everything we needed to be able to feed ourselves, including pots and pans, utensils, an outdoor hibachi, and a small fridge (and it was very organized!). The AC kept the cabin very cool at night and we were incredibly comfortable. I cannot recommend this cabin enough for folks who really want to experience the beauty of the Ozarks. Thank you so much Jill and Rex for opening a piece of your home to us. We are already planning a follow up trip!
