We enjoyed this cozy cabin and the relaxing environment. Our hosts have a well maintained and clean cabin. The cabin had everything one would need and the hosts were great!
So relaxing and quiet, nice little neighborhood everyone was so friendly including the owners, this little cabin was perfect it’s all you need, nice and clean, I loved it!
Nicely appointed, very clean, cute decor, great location between crystal and diamond mines. Easy access, friendly manager, no fuss. I would definitely stay there again.
Close to town. Dog friendly! Enjoyed our stay
Very clean. Had everything we needed. Would book again when we return to go on the little Missouri River.
We stayed here and went on a fishing trip at lake gresson. The cabin was very clean and perfect and very dog friendly. It was close to caddo and little Missouri River. We had a great time and would highly recommend this cabin.
The place was so very nice and so much attention to detail. I was disappointed at first at how close other rentals were. It is amazingly quiet and peaceful!
The cabin was beautiful and newly renovated. We took a day trip up for the solar eclipse and it was excellent, the owners were very kind and quick to help out in anyway possibe. They even pointed us to a perfect viewing area and loaned us some chairs to make the viewing more comfortable. It was a great overall stay and experience. I highly recommended staying here.
Simple small cabin, but new and clean. Air conditioning a bit noisy. Shower really nice.
Close to services and destination. Great cafe nearby, but full kitchen for cooking
The cabin was very clean, all necessities were provided. We were very happy with everything, except the parking. It was dark when we arrived and was a bit confusing on where to park. And not a lot of room to park. (We drive a nissan rogue and it was tight) But overall we enjoyed our stay & will return in the future.
My husband and I came and stayed for the weekend with two teenage boys to float the Caddo River.
This was a small but cozy little cabin! It was very clean and decorated beautifully! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for our weekend getaway. The only downside was due to personal preference, there was no fan, but we will just bring our own next time. We will definitely come back.
Cabin was clean and cute. Advertised sleeps 6 but actually 4. 1 queen bed, sleeper sofa, and blow up mattress. No floor room for blow up mattress. Would stay again with 4 people.

My cabin couldn’t have been any cuter. Super clean. I came by myself for a mom’s weekend away to get some peace and quiet and go diamond digging, since my kids hated it. I went to C of D during the day, browsed a couple flea markets at my leisure, and relaxed in my cabin and read my book in silence during the evenings. It was perfect.
We were all impressed with how much the cottage felt like home/grandmas house. It had a way that drew you in and felt so comforting.
The owners didn’t bother us but made sure that we knew if we needed anything to just let them know.
The owners left delicious cookies and pastries for us. They also made sure we had snacks and drinks.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals.
They had games and movies for us to use.
We had plenty of towels and they left us some laundry soap. They are very thoughtful hosts.
There were plenty of places to sit outside to enjoy the views of the creek. They have fishing poles, firewood, and canoes that you can use.
Again extremely thoughtful hosts!!!
This property is the perfect location! We brought our daughter down to Arkansas for a float trip on the Caddo River and to go diamond mining. The put in location for the float trip was less than 5 minutes away and Crater of Diamonds state park was only a 20 minute drive. The cabin itself was perfect for the three of us. It was immaculately clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked well and the kitchen is well stocked. Parking is easy and it was easy to find with the directions sent by the hosts. The hosts themselves were wonderful, friendly people! We had the chance to chat with them before we left and felt very welcome. Communication is instant and they even gave recommendations in the area prior to arrival. The best part was checkout, they told us not to worry about a thing and to enjoy our breakfast. We absolutely loved staying here and will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
