Best Log Cabin Rentals in Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Planning a relaxing vacation to the quaint village of Eureka Springs, Arkansas in the heart of the Ozark Mountains? Eureka Springs, Arkansas offers visitors the opportunity to explore an endless array of unique shops and places like the Haunted Crescent Hotel or Thorncrown Chapel which are scattered amongst its winding mountain roads. At the end of the day, you want to be able to unwind and kick back in an enjoyable environment. Why scrimp and save to escape the chaos of everyday life only to find yourself crammed in a faceless, generic hotel offering poptarts and toast for breakfast? A log cabin rental offers all the calming comforts of home and the quiet, refreshing seclusion many hope to achieve on a get away. Best of all, cabins are an affordable alternative!

Log cabin rentals may not provide the opulence of a penthouse suite or the services of a valet jockey at your beck and call that may be found at a hotel, but don't ignore this option for fear of waking up to the sounds of a rooster crowing or the smell of an outhouse lingering in the air. Along with spectacular vantage points and peaceful surroundings, you'll discover fully-stocked kitchens, satellite televisions, sparkling hot tubs and wood-burning fireplaces. Just to give a taste of the options available, I would like to take you on a tour of my three favorite log cabins available to rent while on vacation in Eureka Springs.

The log cabins of Lake Forest are located about seven miles west of Eureka Springs. Just take Highway 62 West until take a left on Highway 187 South. After four miles, you will reach a fork in the road where you will veer left onto Mundell Road. After about one and a half miles, you will turn left on Lake Forest Drive where the resort is located on the left side of the road.

Whether traveling on a honeymoon, with kids or group of friends, the split-level cabins are spacious for all needs and easily accommodate up to ten guests. Although earlier check-in may be available, cabins are sure to be ready for your stay by 3pm and the owners take cash and credit cards as well as personal checks with early reservations if received a week prior to arrival.

After checking in, you're ready to relax and enjoy the fully-equipped kitchen, watch a movie on the satellite television, or go for a swim in the outdoor pool. The covered porch has seating and a wonderful view of your secluded, wooded surroundings. You can even fire up a grill outside to prepare the perfect steak dinner. After dinner, step into the jacuzzi or enjoy a cozy fire and snuggle up for the evening.... just the perfect way to cap off an adventuresome day taking in the Passion Play or one of Eureka Springs many attractions.

To reach the offices of the Treehouse Cottages from Eureka Springs, go south on Highway 23 and then turn right on Highway 62 West (which is West Van Buren). You will travel past the Eureka Springs Visitor's Center before you reach the office on the left right across from Bubba's BBQ Restaurant.

The office also holds a unique and whimsical gift shop with a variety of items available such as handmade pottery, candles and artwork. The owner has her own pottery studio on site which also produces the beautiful tiles and dishes found in the cabins.

There are eight different cabins available and you immediately see why they are called treehouses when you see them built up on stilts amongst the trees... amazing! One of the cabins, Whispering Wood, greets guests with a huge picture window that provides a stunning view without even having to go outside. The large stone fireplace, stained glass window, and large heart-shaped jacuzzi all combine for the perfect way to rejuvenate your body and soul.

When leaving Eureka Springs to head to the Lake Shore Cabins, take Highway 62 west until you turn left onto Highway 187 South. From there, drive four miles to the fork in the road, where you will hang a left onto Mundell Road. Drive two miles down Mundell and the offices will be located on the right hand side.

There are eight cabins available, with the largest being Cabin 8 which has 936 square feet interior along with a 288 square foot covered deck. Check-in is available as early as 1pm, but is sure to be ready at 3pm. You can arrange with the owners a variety of special accommodation packages with amenities such as flowers, candy, champagne or dinner at one of the wonderful Eureka Springs dining establishments.

These cabins are located along the shore of Beaver Lake which offers some of the best bass fishing in the state, as well as numerous outdoor activities. Go for a swim, saunter around the lake in a paddle boat, or venture off on a hike on one of the trails nearby.  Cabins are available along the waterfront or for more seclusion, nestled in the wooded mountaintop. The cabins sleep from two to ten people, so whatever your needs, you are sure to find the perfect Eureka Springs vacation hideaway.
