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 absolutely loved this cabin. It was spotless and the views were breathtaking. It was exactly as pictured. The bed was very comfortable and kitchen was stocked with all necessities. Debbie responded quickly to my messages and was very pleasant. Would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to all of our friends and family.

The view was spectacular! The sunrise was incredible to wake up to, and the cabin was really nice. The owners communicated quite well. The only thing I was picky about was the cleanliness of the place when we got there. There were quite a few spider webs on the doors, the mirrors had a couple of stains as well as some dishes, and the fridge. Other than that, we had an excellent stay and would definitely want to come again!

Glad we got back again to take in those views. My pics still can’t do justice to being there. Just as last time, we especially enjoyed the views, the quiet, and walking the trails nearby. Hope to be back again and soon.

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!

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and had an amazing time. The views were beautiful at all times of the day and night; we loved watching the sun rise over the mountains and the lake. We saw plenty of deer and other wildlife near the property which was fun. Very secluded and well stocked property, we had everything we needed! Highly recommended!

The cabin location was absolutely beautifully! Pictures don’t do it justice. We loved the seclusion and peacefulness. The kitchen was well stocked (a plus for us bc we like cooking). We really enjoyed riding some of the trails in the area in our jeep. We would definitely love to come back in the fall for the beautiful views!

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!

We stayed here for our 30th anniversary. We’re locals and have stayed in cabins in the area many times. This cabin, hands down, is the best! We could not get enough of that view!!! Would recommend to anyone, locals or out of towners as a way to fully experience the beauty of southeast Oklahoma.

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!
