Quiet rustic retreat on the White River across from Handford Bluff

Lovely1600+ sq/ft cabin directly on the White River with stunning views of Handford Bluff, which towers hundreds of feet above the far bank. Rustic charm with modern conveniences, this beautiful cabin has three bedrooms and two full baths, a two-story open great room with gas fireplace, large front and rear porches, and a gas grill and firepit. Located directly on the river, making this the perfect spot for fishing, kayaking, or swimming. Enjoy the tranquility of nature but also just a short drive to bluegrass/folk music in Mountain View's world-famous town square, to the Ozark Folk Center, to Blanchard Springs cavern, or to the epic Syllamo mountain bike trail... something for everyone!

Please note that while the cabin will sleep eight including children, it is generally not suitable for eight adults. As noted in the description, one of the beds is a full size futon in same the room with a queen bed. This bedroom is accessible only by stairs. A gate is on hand for use by guests with children unable to navigate stairs.

This cabin is part of the White River Retreats collection.

Togetherness
A friends get together was a lot of fun at the Bear cabin. It is secluded clean fire pit. Lots of trees and privacy the only thing was we could not get the fire place to work but it didn’t matter. We will definitely be back and the water is a walk down a hill and the guys caught lots of fish. I just can not say enough good things about the place. BRING FIREWOOD WITH YOU.

Beautiful Bluff
The location was beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Communication was not the best. The place was beautiful but wasn't as well stocked as what we were used to. We couldn't find any dish rags and there was no coffee. I know some places stock more than others but no coffee really suprised me!

Beautiful cabin and location
Beautiful and well appointed cabin. It was in a beautiful setting on the river and we saw wildlife daily. The screened in back porch is so nice in the early morning and evenings. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend.

The absolute best cabin and view
Our family has stayed in cabins in La., Ms, Al, Tn, Ga, and NC. This is the absolute best cabin of them all. I've never had a cabin stocked as well as this one. The view is breath taking. We spent most of our time on the screened in back porch and at the fire pit. (You can get firewood at walmart.) Thank you for letting us stay in your hidden gem of a cabin!

An incredibly serene and beautiful place. We spent more time on the screened-in back porch than we did inside. It was so peaceful. We can only hope to make this an annual trip.

Impromptu Swimming Hole Trip!
The weather has been miserably hot so our family decided to make an impromptu trip looking for swimming holes to cool off! This cabin fit the bill perfectly!!! The kids were swimming in the river the first evening! The next day we went to Blanchard Springs Caverns for a tour and swam in two different swimming holes before returning to swim some more. The next day we spent all day swimming and catching trout at the cabin. We checked out the next day and hit Gunner Pool before heading home. The cabin’s remoteness was perfect for us. It was clean and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill was a bonus. Relaxing on the porch was great, even in the sweltering heat. The kids absolutely loved it and were asking to come back soon and of course, stay longer. Check in and out was easy. I would absolutely recommend this little gem and hopefully we will be back soon.

Perfect Family Vacation
The cabin was perfect for our family vacation with the river and fire pit out back our kids spent all day outside play, fishing, swimming and making s’mores. While it was a 20-30min drive to town it was the perfect location to get away and be disconnected from work and social media. The cabin had all the basics making our stay convenient and easy. Highly recommend!!

Great family getaway
Our family of five enjoyed a quick getaway to this wonderful cabin. The entire property was beautiful and exactly as portrayed in the pictures. The check in process was very easy, the cabin was well stocked, very clean, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed fishing just in back of the cabin, saw wildlife, and also enjoyed some time checking out the shops in Mt. View. We have already recommended this property to several friends and family who saw our pictures. We would definitely enjoy coming back again!

If you are looking for a relaxing location, this is the place. Cabin was fully stocked with everything you might need. Our location along the river front was perfect for wading and playing in the water as well as fishing.

Great quick trip
Overall a wonderful property. Beautiful views and a great escape from it all. Nestled outside of Mountain View proper it allowed easy access to nearby attractions. The location on the river along with the firepit made for a scenic view. Be prepared for a rocky road arriving ( it was well worth it). The property could use some minor tlc. Slow moving drains in the tub, dead bugs in the light fixtures (not too surprising for how rural the location) and the lofted bed is a bit tilted towards the middle. All of these are minor complaints and did not take away from how fantastic the property was overall!

Peaceful Relaxing Hideaway
Great communication with property owner! Great directions, I can’t say enough good things. We can’t wait to go back, a weekend just wasn’t long enough. The cabin is cozy. The views are amazing. My husband, 13 yr old stepson, and I did not want to leave. Take some groceries, and you won’t even need to go to town. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook. You won’t regret staying here. :)

Pictures don’t do it justice, it was great!
Cabin was really fun! the bluff on the other side of the river is absolutely spectacular, the cabin is really nice and super clean. The owner was very responsive and super nice. We had a really great time and definitely will be coming back to this location for sure but we will be bringing our boat next time as the Public boat ramp is only about six minutes from the house up river. The walk to the River is not very far and was easy enough for all of us but an older person or somebody with bad knees would probably struggle with the hill. River was really up when we were there but we still caught fish!

Awesome cabin on the White River!!
We absolutely loved staying in this cabin on the river! The view from the screened in back porch was gorgeous and being able to walk right down to the river to fish, walk, skip stones, pick up rocks, watch eagles or just sit and relax was great! The cabin is very spacious and had everything we needed. Yes, the drive from the town to the cabin is not the best, but it is well worth it. The only down side for us is that we didn't stay longer! Next time we will book for more than just a long weekend!
