Cub Cabin has Star Gazing for Outdoor Lovers. No Pets Allowed

Our Cub cabin will not disappoint if you are needing some time away from your busy lifestyle. It is nestled in the Ouachita Mountains and offers quiet solitude for refreshing your mind and spirit. We also offer a Roku TV to enjoy & wifi (when wifi is working from company), if not you may use your personal hotspot once ready to come indoors.
Our Cub cabin is off the main drag but close enough to town if you should need supplies. It is well stocked with the essentials for cooking as well with plenty of linens. There is plenty to do within minutes. There are hiking and biking trails nearby and plenty of fishing and water activities in the Ouachita area.The Lovit trail is just a few miles from the cabin. It heads at beautiful Lake Ouachita and follows the lake for a beautiful hike and is great for mountain biking too! You can launch your boat within minutes at Twin Creeks boat ramp. We have plenty of parking at Bear Den Cub Cabin, along with a place to plug up your boat to charge your batteries! There is a great fishing pier at the launch site along with a place to swim. You can visit one of the crystal mines in the area where you can dig your own crystals and keep whatever you find. Hot Springs is east of the cabin about 30 minutes. Check out Bath House Row down town. If you are in to horse racing, Oaklawn Park is a big attraction in Hot Springs. (Seasonal) If you are wanting solitude, simple stay at the cabin where you can sit around the fire pit after you have grilled on the charcoal grill. The cabin offers some great star gazing opportunities with a big open sky at night! There is something to do for everyone. Please note: No pets allowed. A minimum of $500 fee will be charged to renter if a pet is brought to our property. Our cabin is in a natural setting surrounded by woods and lakes. Like any outdoor environment, there is a variety of insects and small creatures as part of the local ecosystem. Please be mindful of this and bring any bug spray, wasp spray, etc. you may feel you need to enjoy the natural beauty of the outdoors..

Great Cabin!

This cabin is much better than represented on this site. Much newer and cleaner than photos depict. We were pleasantly surprised. Only negative was that the shower curtain and liner was a little dirty. And the liner was ripped. Great place to stay!

Quiet space and beautiful star gazing

This cabin had all we needed and was looking for. A place to disconnect from the city and reconnect with nature. Was clean and taken care of when we got there. Beautiful stargazing at night. We stayed at a time when both heat was needed at night and ac during the day. The temp was regulated nicely. Will for sure be back.

Beautiful, Quite and Peaceful

I very much enjoyed my stay at this lovely cabin. The pictures do not do it justice! The cabin is larger than expected, clean, and well furnished. Basic supplies are provided for cooking including some seasonings, and sugar. The bed is comfortable, not to hard and not to soft. Having a reclining chair was really nice. I would definitely book this one again!
