My usual Arkansas getaway is camping in the Ouachita National Forest or Ozark National Forest, finding trails to run in the old Land Cruiser, or fly fishing the tailwaters up at Norfork and Bull Shoals.
The wife and I were looking for a few days to just get away from work and the chores at home and came across the Bethesda Pointe cabin at Bethesda Lake Resort & Cabins. We love experiencing a good cabin.
We are planning to build our forever home and always look forward to getting inspired by the places we stay. The design and natural features offered at this resort seemed to check all the boxes for us.
The finishes in this cabin are top notch (and that’s an understatement). Wonderful floor plan for a couple, or entertaining family. My wife and I are suckers for this “Mountain Modern” trend and the builders and designers nailed it. I could go on and on, but I think it’s pretty obvious we enjoyed ourselves and plan to be back.
Michael was an amazing host. Very responsive. And when he wasn’t available, someone on their team was ready to respond to any questions. Excellent management.
My wife and I could tell there was someone with hospitality experience, or just a good understanding for what creature comforts people enjoy having when renting. From the Roku TV and reliable internet so you can sign right in to all of your favorite apps, to the “omg so soft” make-up towels as my wife described them. I’m a pretty tall guy and even took the first sit down bath I’ve probably taken in years thanks to that Cadillac of a bath tub.
The kitchen has pretty much any utensil, pot, or dish you’ll need for grilling, cooking in the kitchen, and serving. That’s always nice. We’ve rented places that had little more than a plastic ladle and a grilling fork in the past. Not much you can can get done with that.
The private lake with kayaking and fishing, fire pit, hot tub, the nearby hiking and OHV trails at Wolf Pen Gap, etc., are just the icing on the cake. We even found a couple of neat restaurants in Mena.
Great experience all around.
