Was a very nice stay. Nice little cabin sitting by a little creek. The water was running in the creek. Could have sat there and listened to that all day.

We enjoyed our long weekend!! If you want to get away, this is a great place to do it. We always look for a place that’s away from the “hustle and bustle” - We found it!

Hello, we really enjoyed staying in the Ouachita National Forest. First and foremost we loved the cabin. Nestled in the perfect spot surrounded by a beautiful little creek, the cabin makes you feel at home. Deer and other wildlife are abundant and the stars ar night are next level. Clean and comfortable definitely be back.

We enjoyed the quietness and outdoors at the cabin. The dogs enjoyed exploring the property and the small creek that runs through it.

Very secluded and peaceful. This is by far the best place we have stayed on vacation and will be returning soon. The cabin is by far the most supplied place you will ever stay. The host are amazing and Mr John even rode over to draw a map where we could take kids fishing.

What a beautiful cabin and land..This is perfect place to get away far from the busy, every day life. Totally disconnect from the world and enjoy peace. The kids had to learn how to play with having electronics. 😆 Great quality time.

It’s the perfect place to relax. Whether it was sitting on the wraparound porch listening to the creek or taking a walk, it was the best 3 days we’ve had in awhile. The weather was also perfect. It was our 3rd time to visit Kate’s Creek Cabin & yes we’ll be back. The owners, John Carl & Lisa are wonderful people!

This is what we were looking for. No internet, no phone service, no people.....just quiteness, wildlife, a gurgling brook, and peace. (Our only recommendation is that the streetlight in the field could be turned off so we could enjoy the stars under a dark sky.)

This was our second stay at Kate’s Creek Cabin and there is a reason for that. The owners are the nicest people and the cabin/property is perfect. This cabin is the perfect place to retreat, relax, and unwind. We absolutely love the middle of nowhere feel mixed with wildlife and beautiful scenery. Within an hour of being there, we saw 15 deer And lots of other animals. The creek that runs through the property, offers an unbelievable ambiance that forces you relax. This place is heaven to me and my wife and we already can’t wait to rebook!

I stayed 3 nights with my 2 small furbabies. I had the most fabulous time just relaxing - reading, watching the wildlife and reconnecting with nature. I would love to return in the fall.

The property with the cabin and creek was exactly what we wanted and needed. We were able to spend our time sitting on the porch by the creek reading our Bibles for some much needed quiet time with God! Thank you for making your property be a little slice of heaven!

The property was private, secluded, and breathtaking. No wifi or cell service gave us the perfect opportunity to unplug and engage as a family. The home was well equiped with everything we needed including board games. The property owners were helpful, respectful, and friendly

Our family enjoyed staying at this cozy cabin. We were able to savor our time together without the distraction of connectivity. Lazy days of poking around the campfire, creek, and surrounding hills followed by evenings of Monopoly, music, cooking, and reading. 4 humans and 1 dog filled up the cabin so just be aware if you have a large group. Five stars from my family.

When we pulled up the drive to the house, it was so quiet and secluded! I fell in love right away. The cabin is right next to the creek, and you can hear the creek babbling over the rocks from the cabin porch. speaking of the porch, the full wrap around allows you to sit in the shade and enjoy the view no matter what the time of day. The king size bed was very comfortable and we were able to sleep well! We saw coyotes & deer and several different types of birds throughout our stay. We had no cell phone reception at the cabin, whatsoever, which we considered a blessing because it let us disconnect from the outside world and just enjoy our time away. John came by briefly to say "Hi!" and to be sure we had everything we needed. They were excellent hosts. Highly, highly, highly recommended!

This was our third stay in this cozy cabin. It has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The fact that there is no wifi is definitely a plus, you really can get away from it all. John Karl and Lisa are easy to communicate with and have created what we think is the perfect cabin.

I loved the property! It’s just delightful. A pretty creek, very quiet and the lack of cell service and internet was exactly what I needed. Deer came to the creek daily. My dog was in heaven with acres to explore. I would love to return yearly for just a life detox. Slow country living in the mountains…..perfect!!!

We just wanted a place to get away, be secluded, and enjoy mother nature. This place was perfect as we pulled and I got out yo open the gate a deer ran up the creek about 30 ft from me! I felt that was a perfect sign and it didn't disappoint. We were pleased and will definitely be back.
