Spotless cabin made for a great base for a weekend of climbing. Comfortable living room with a nice tv, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and located just a short drive to Jasper. It was remarkable how new everything looked. The owners really take great care of this property. Great communication with the host from the minute we booked. We'll be looking to grab this one again for our next trip to HCR or Sam's Throne.

Absolutely beautiful property! The house was amazingly clean and spacious. The more rural setting was exactly what we were looking for. Each morning we drank coffee on the front porch and watched the fog rise out of the valleys around us. Short drives to local restaurants and trailheads. There were LOTS of informative pamphlets and menus to local restaurants at the house. If you are looking for a true getaway, this is it. We will book again.

Family fun in Mount Judea
We had a great escape in the mountains and hills of Arkansas! The cabin was immaculate! By far the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed at!! There was lots of room within the home, beds were very comfortable, nice big couch for everyone, Wifi works well, fully stocked kitchen, big yard with only one neighbor in site, quiet & peaceful surroundings, arrival/departure instructions were very simple, and we enjoyed the large porch around the house. It was a great place to get out of the hustle n bustle of everyday life for a few days!
