Summit Cabin | 180° Lake Views & Off-Grid Escape

🌄 The Summit House – Off-Grid Mountain Escape



Welcome to The Summit House, where breathtaking views, ultimate seclusion, and an off-grid retreat await! Nestled atop a ridgeline deep in the Ouachita National Forest, this 1,100 sq. ft. cabin offers uninterrupted panoramic views from every room—even the shower! At night, the star-filled sky provides a dazzling display of shooting stars.



This is not your average cabin stay—it’s an adventure. Please read the full description to ensure this unique experience is right for you!

🌿 Escape to Nature—Off-Grid & Eco-Friendly
The Summit House is 100% off-grid, generating its own solar power, well water, and septic system while still providing modern comforts.



✔ No bath or hot tub (to conserve energy)
✔ Well water with filtration (contains natural iron—bring bottled water if preferred)
✔ Starlink WiFi & Cell Service (AT&T & Verizon strongest)
✔ No TVs (unplug & reconnect with nature)

🛏 Sleeping Arrangements
✔ Bedroom 1: King master suite with sliding door to deck
✔ Bedroom 2: Queen bedroom + Twin bed just outside the room
✔ Bathroom: Full bath with walk-in shower & mountain views

The open-concept living and dining space is perfect for gathering, with a bar seating five, a stainless steel kitchen, and an outdoor propane grill on the two-level deck to soak in the views.



Relax, unwind, and enjoy the forest’s natural beauty—whether you’re a hiker, birdwatcher, or just here for the tranquility.

We stayed for the weekend and honestly, it was amazing. From the drive in to the cabin, with all the deer along the way, everything was just what we needed for a peaceful little getaway. The view was perfect. There was a little blue bird perched on the treetops everyday singing for hours that we loved. It stormed on our last night, and watching the thunder and lightning from the bedroom was such a cool view. We will be back!

The view! All day the view was amazing! Sunrise, sunset and I would think the night sky would be amazing too. It was raining and cloudy when we went so sadly did not get to do any star gazing. We had such a fun time hanging out in the cabin playing board games. There is a trail that you can go hiking that they gave us a map for. Those 4 miles were fun but kick some of our butts! For sure a cabin I would love to stay at again.

Best Yet!!

This was our 4th stay with Bear Creek Vacation rentals. First two times at the Cliff House, then the "Phoenix Rising". These were fantastic .. but this most recent stay at The Summit was the best yet. Clean, spacious and super comfortable. Beautiful big deck to enjoy the view during the day and the stars at night. We will definitely be back toThe Summit!

Serene

This vacation was nothing short of extraordinary. My husband and I sought a romantic getaway, and we found the perfect escape. The panoramic views were simply breathtaking, with rolling mountains bathed in vibrant hues that changed with the light. The exhilarating drive up the winding mountain roads added to the adventure, offering us glimpses of nature's beauty, including graceful deer grazing peacefully and majestic falcons soaring overhead. One of the highlights of our trip was the time we spent sightseeing from a jet ski. Gliding over the sparkling water, we felt the refreshing breeze against our faces as we explored the stunning coastline. The experience was exhilarating, and I can't recommend it enough!
The night sky that just seems unreal.

This the second time we have stayed at this property and it has exceeded our expectations every time! To get to the property from the highway is 5 miles of beautiful landscape with a stream winding on both sides of the road. We saw several deer on the way to the cabin which was a joy along with all the mountains. The cabin is beautiful with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and lake! We can’t wait to visit again!
