We offer two kayaks, a canoe, and inner tubes for guests' enjoyment along the river. Our outdoor areas feature a spacious yard with a fire pit, private vineyard, several porches, old-growth trees, charcoal grill, and tons of cozy outdoor seating and views over the river for miles. Ideal for bird watching or gazing out at the Ozark Mountains. Our sprawling property leads directly to the White River shoreline and is the perfect place to enjoy a lake-side game of catch or a delicious s'more roasted at our fire pit.
Our cabin-style home is located at the end of a beautiful, windy drive through the Ozark Mountains in Eureka Springs, Arkansas!
Enter through the front door of our Main Log Cabin and you'll be greeted by our warm, inviting den complete with wood-slatted walls, TONS of authentic cabin-themed decor, a wood-burning stove, a cozy leather couch and lounger, a rocking chair, and a Smart TV - which sits inside an old canoe! This is the perfect space for cozying up with a book or settling in for a good conversation while enjoying the heat of the wood-burning stove.
To the left of the den, you'll find our fully stocked kitchen, perfect for creating your favorite meals or baked goods. To the right of the den, you'll find our 6-top dining table and second living space. Here, you'll be greeted by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking our massive backyard as well as the White River and the trees of the Ozark Mountains. Curl up on the sectional for a movie on our 60-inch Samsung TV or grab a game out of the cabinet for some friendly competition! Through a set of double doors, you can also find a cozy nook-style seating area with a twin bed sleeping option, before being led to our home's Master bedroom.
At the end of the day, settle into one of our Main Cabin's three private bedrooms:
(1) Our first King bedroom complete with 2 closets, an armoire, 32-inch Samsung TV, and en suite bath with a stunning claw foot tub and shower.
(2) Our second bedroom can be found on the second floor of our main cabin. This room is complete with THREE log wood Twin beds, a closet, a dresser, and an en suite bath with a walk-in shower.

There is an additional Twin-sized day bed located in the main cabin off the living room for one extra guest to sleep.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Ozark Mountains in one of our many outdoor living spaces! On the front porch, enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the porch swing or while rocking in one of our handcrafted rocking chairs. Step onto our fully furnished back porch to overlook our MASSIVE backyard and sweeping views of the White River. To the side of our cabin, you'll find a fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and telling campfire stories. We also invite you to take a walk around the property, which is home to our private vineyard, garden, and our Colonial-style Homestead Cabin.

We felt like we were right at home with everything. The esthetics of the entire property made us comfortable away from home. The beds were comfy and even with 10 of us in total, we never felt crammed and we all had our own space. Our family raved about it and we still do.
Great property and great communication with the Manager. We had some issues at the check in but everything was handled quickly. The cabin has it's own charm and history, very unique.
My family enjoyed our stay at this property. The cabin was perfectly appointed for home cooking, laundering, and enjoying a break from everyday life. Our children enjoyed using the kayaks and canoe. Would recommend to anyone that wants a quiet, quaint vacation. An issue we incurred was quickly addressed and managers were available and VERY helpful.
We loved our stay at this cabin for our family of 6. This place was perfect for our family with teenagers. They had their own space in the guest cabin. The kayaks and canoe were fun to take out on the river. We loved sitting around the table playing games and roasting s’mores over a fire at night. Thank you for sharing your cabin.
Your not going wrong here.Comfort meets character.I was proud to entertain my family at this charming ozark retreat and I believe you will too.Yes,its so clean and well maintained.Hey,its what your looking for.
This precious house was perfect for our stay. So comfortable, we felt at home. All the civil war memorabilia and stuffed animals really added to the cabin vibe. The location was great! Loved being near the Beaver Bridge and listening to the clap of the boards when someone drove over it. We had a buck and doe that would show up every once in a while grazing on the property. Highly recommend this property. Also, highly recommend checking out Roaring River State Park in Missouri, just over the line about 30 minutes from cabin. The trout fishing was fantastic!
We really enjoyed our stay. The 2 cabins were clean. When we arrived our door code didn’t work so we texted the after hours number and was given a new code right away. It was not far from downtown Eureka Springs and even though the highway is near we didn’t have any issues with noise. We loved walking around the main cabin to see all the rustic decor and the deck was great for relaxing. We didn’t find the firewood that was mentioned in the listing but we were able to find some limbs to make a fire with. Overall we were very pleased and will keep this place in mind if we want to revisit Eureka Springs.
My recent stay at Papa's Place was lovely. The kids loved being able to kayak, while also being close to downtown. The house was comfortable and cozy. I would highly recommend booking.
If you are looking for a great place to spend a few days that is everything that is advertised this is for you. We had a great time and the property management are the best you will find. We will be back.
This was a great place for a family. The kids found sticks and fished, we were near hiking trails and attractions, and going in to town was just a few minutes.
It is a beautiful home and we thoroughly enjoyed using the canoe and kayak. The grill was completely rusted and the morning we were supposed to leave about 10 men showed up in the courtyard and not all the blinds would go down so we could get ready.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
It is a cute cabin and the hosts are easy to communicate with. However, there were visible mice in the top kitchen drawer above the trash and droppings throughout the cabin, especially on the kitchen countertops and drawers and in every bathroom drawer on the main level. Cleanliness visibly lacked. The location was good and close to the downtown area.
Rented the property for my parents 50th anniversary. The pics do not do this place justice. If you are looking for a place near Eureka or just looking for a place on the lake, this is it.
