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.

Cute cabin, but not cleaned properly

Our family of 4 stayed in the Cub cabin for 3 nights. We drove 5 hours from Texas and didn't get in until around 10:30pm Thursday night. We were tired and ready to go to bed and get our two young boys in bed but noticed there was dog hair all over the place. The linens, furniture & all over the floor. There was human hair (long brown strands) in the sheets of the bed, in the utensil drawer & in the shower. The towels in the cabinet didnt smell fresh either. We messaged the host and were told to wash the sheets ourselves, which shouldn't even have to be done upon arrival. We ended up sleeping on towels that we brought because we didnt have laundry detergent with us and everything was closed that late at night, not to mention the washer and dryer were filthy and covered in dog hair inside as well. The bathroom sink had toothpaste splatter all over it, the bathroom vanity was covered with a white residue and the shower design allows for standing water around the bottom which is kinda gross to see. We ended up sweeping the entire cabin Friday morning and were shocked by how much dog hair was on the floor. It's a really cute cabin, but the cleaning crew needs to be fired or taught better, because those conditions are not acceptable for guests to arrive to.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here and we just love this place. Very clean and well equipped. There’s plenty of space to park a boat trailer too!

Crystal Hunting

Nice property, quiet and clean. We enjoyed the campfire and crystal mining. Centrally located within all the mines around. The microwave quit working while we were there. No one close to replace it and VRBO had the wrong contact information listed. The property manager was working with VRBO to fix it.
