Very quiet and private 1 bedroom cabin with seasonal views of the Little Buffalo River. Fully equipped kitchen. Access to beach and seasonal swimming hole. A perfect romantic getaway for couples. There is an additional sleeping area separate from the house if you wanted to bring an extra guest or two. Lotus Point is only 6 miles from Jasper. Close to many access points on the upper section of the Buffalo National River for fishing, floating, hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing.
The space
The main cabin has 1 bedroom with queen bed, fully equipped kitchen, laundry and bath and sits on 9 acres of mostly wooded land. There is internet service and Roku TV as well as a variety of board games and books available in the cozy living room for guests to enjoy. The deck overlooking the Little Buffalo River is great for just sitting and relaxing or barbecuing on the gas grill provided. There is a small bungalow that can sleep two additional guests should you decide to bring friends. It is detached from the house, and is perched on a bluff overlooking the river. It has a queen size bed, A/C and heater, bottled water and coffee maker are provided, however, there is NO bathroom or cooking facilities. It is just for sleeping. There is an additional fee for use of this space so please be sure to indicate if you wish to use the bungalow. There is a steep and narrow trail that leads down to the beach and swimming hole for those who are adventurous.
Guest access
Guests will have full use of the cabin and grounds and are welcome to help themselves to herbs and any vegetables that are in season to add to meals during their stay. The trail down to the river below the house is quite steep and narrow, please use good judgement and caution when hiking down to the beach (and back up!) Feel free to explore the surrounding property, however, remember you are in the great outdoors, so you may encounter creepy crawlies, like mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, snakes, wasps, etc. Bringing some bug spray may be a good idea if you plan on hiking. You may be fortunate and see an abundance of wildlife, such as deer, elk, turkey, a variety of birds, including eagles, owls, and herons. The river is available for fishing, however you must still have an Arkansas fishing license. There is a small beach below the cabin with a seasonal swimming hole for guests to enjoy. NO HUNTING IS PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY.
Other things to note

There is a well stocked grocery store in Jasper, a Dollar general and a couple take out places and couple of good restaurants.
