Old Bear Ridge Log Cabin
Spend the night in our beautiful hand made log cabin in the woods! Watch the sun come up while you enjoy your morning coffee on the porch. Then enjoy some time in our hammocks or visit beautiful lake Ouachita. Hot Springs is only a short drive into town or go crystal mining, hiking or mountain biking on the local trails. Finish off your day with a steak, hot off the grill. Then watch the stars and fireflies from the private hot tub or relax around the custom fire pit with your favorite drink. If you want a peaceful retreat, surrounded by nature, this is the place for you!

The cabin was built by the owners. They cut and hand peeled logs from the surrounding property. They also built the log bed and futon. You can watch this labor of love on YouTube-look for Lance & Cinda Serafin.
The cabin features a vaulted ceiling with huge exposed log beams and antler chandelier. It has a queen size bed with memory foam topper for a good nights sleep. If you prefer a firm mattress, let us know prior to your stay and we can remove the memory foam topper. The sofa can also be pulled out to make a full sized bed.
The bathroom features an antique claw foot tub from 1910 and a huge picture window with a view of the woods.
There is a realistic, cozy electric fireplace to enjoy, without any of the work. If you would like a real fire, there is a lovely custom fire pit and sitting area in the front yard. Firewood and kindling are provided. Additional firewood is available free of charge from the wood shed.
All the ingredients for your first morning breakfast are included! Cook up a hearty country style breakfast of bacon, blueberry pancakes, and farm fresh eggs from our own hens! There is a fully functional kitchen with all the utensils needed to cook while you are here. Also, a spacious deck complete with charcoal grill and table and chairs. (Charcoal is provided!) Walk out the side door and it’s only a few steps to the hot tub!
This is a great place to wind down and enjoy nature with your special someone! It is a one-of-a-kind, hand crafted cabin! We know you will love it as much as we do!
