Beautiful property and a cozy cabin with all amenities
We chose this property for its wooded setting and we were not disappointed! The owners, Johnathon and Chloe were so welcoming and nice. The cabin has separate bedroom areas and each one has its own AC/heating unit. There's even a roughed in trail up to the top of the mountain on the backside of the property. The firepit was stocked and ready. P.S. Watching the eclipse from this cabin was an amazing experience!!

Amazing little place in the middle of everything!
We made last minute plans to head up to the area and do some day hikes and explore the ATV trails. It was a perfect location to everything in the area. We were made to feel at home, being able to bring our dog and feel welcomed was so nice! We had a little hiccup with the water but Jonathan handled it immediately and we were not inconvenienced at all. We plane to go back again in the future!

Rustic Cabin Getaway
This was our first visit to Arkansas as a family and wanted to stay somewhere secluded and surrounded by nature. We enjoyed the drive to the property from the main road, as we passed by cows, horses and the idyllic Bethesda Lake on the other side. The property looks small when you first see it, but the house is actually quite spacious inside. The TARDIS effect. Haha. It is well stocked with everything you could need. I was so thankful for the plentiful towels! As for location, the house is a short 10 minute? drive to the city center, fairly close to Queen Wilhelmina State Park and Talimena National Scenic Byway. We even took a day trip to Hot Springs which was less than 2 hours each way. I could not text or make calls from the house, but the Wi-Fi was excellent. Check in/out was very easy and Chloe was very responsive to messages. My only suggestion would be to provide a small folding table and chairs (maybe there were and we never saw them) for meals. We managed with the coffee table, but I think it'd be harder for a larger group. For those terrified of insects, be aware, because we were greeted by a few 6-8 legged guys here and there. It didn't bother me and expected for the location, but my kids were not too thrilled. But they loved watching the birds visit the bird feeder outside the living room window. Overall, we enjoyed our family time at Woodland Cottage.

Best Arkansas woods experience
The year of 2022 was kinda hard and we wanted just to disconnect from reality. This cottage is perfect for 4-5 people. The twin bed has roll out bundle so family with 3 kids can sleep comfortably. Everything you may need is there. And it is truly in the forest. National forest is 5 minutes driving. Scenic drive is 15 minutes with observstion tower and beautiful state park along the way. Super nice and helpful owners. And yes, sweet Captain is for free. I had my nature and doggie therapy altogether. Thank you, Jonathan and Chloe! We are relaxed and fresh. We will come back for sure. Recommended for everyone!

This is our 4th time staying at this cottage and once again we had a wonderful time! We spent Thanskgiving here as a family and really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere as a place to celebrate. We had a fire in the fire pit, and enjoyed the outdoor seating for our Thanksgiving meal! Check in was easy, hosts are wonderful, place is clean and smelled great when we walked in. Hope to be back again soon!

Unique getaway, great fire pit, thoughtful host!
This was a weekend stay for my family while we explored the trails at Wolf Pen Gap. This is a one of a kind stay, a step back in time. (But still with wifi) Our phones didn’t get a signal at the house but we were able to use wifi calling. The host was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions we asked. The outdoor space was our favorite because of the set up. They have string lights, a bbq grill & gorgeous colors on the tree leaves. The fire pit is awesome. Even though there was a burn ban when we stayed- so no fire, we still sat out there and stared at the stars. The Ouachitas restaurant/brewery was delish & not too far. Great getaway! Weekend was a success.

This such a great comfortable place. The neighbors are amazing!!! They played with our dog, very friendly. This is like stepping back in time to grandma's house so clean and plenty of room. An awesome outside sitting area, a fire pit area and a cool spring beside the house. It's convenient to town trails and restaurant's. Chloe has Doterra and a diffuser. We loved our stay!! Please don't let other reviews discourage you. This is a cool place to stay !!!
