Secluded River Cabin Retreat with Outdoor Bathhouse and Kayaks on 80 acres!

10/10 Excellent
"Pictures don't do this place justice - the views are absolutely amazing! If you love isolation and a place to just unwind, this is your spot. Cabin: So clean, comfortable and it has everything you can possibly need. The kitchen has everything, plus outside propane and charcoal grills. My wife and I love cooking, so we bought groceries for our 4 night stay and every pot, pan, utensil, etc. that you could need was in the kitchen. The Deck: Coffee on the deck overlooking the river/mountains is the greatest way to start the day. There's a kitchen table inside is never needed since the deck has several tables, lights, umbrella's, etc, to enjoy every meal with views for daysThe bathhouse: Every review talks about how amazing the bathhouse is and it still blew away our expectations. There is no reason to shower inside. We spent several hours every day in the tub and sitting on the bench playing cards, listening to music, laughing, etc. Best shower and Tub view. The River: Kayaks were amazing. The water was pretty murky during our stay, so we didn't do a ton of swimming; however, fishing was a blast. You could see fish swimming around and having fishing poles onsite was great. FYI - you'll see some snakes also.The Trails: The trails around the cabin are fantastic - each of them is unique. You'll encounter plenty of spider webs, so bring a stick. Book this place! My wife and I take great pride in choosing amazing spots and this ranks very high on the list"

HICKORY HIDEOUT The cabin is surrounded by a large area of trees for privacy

10/10 Excellent
"There is a short but pretty steep gravel hill in order to reach the cabin that could be difficult for some vehicles. I was surprised by the size. I felt like the photos made it seem smaller than it was. The cabin was very clean. The deck was great to relax in the early morning and late evening. The only complaint I have is that you will still hear some city noise. Train whistles, dogs, loud vehicles, and sirens while outside. But I think that’s to be expected as it’s not really far from the city at all. Overall, I would absolutely stay here in the future if I visit Mena again."
