Hey! You’ve made it to Bella Vista where you can be in seclusion while you swing on the patio next to the fire, taking in views at this little, eclectic cabin. Sounds awesome, right? But, please read the description in its entirety to ensure this special and unique place is for you!

Bella Vista is one of only four off-grid cabins situated on 80 acres over looking Broken Bow Lake! Because of its location, not only will you avoid extra town taxes and fees upon booking, but Bella Vista also provides an incredible retreat from hustle and bustle of the big city. You get the best of both worlds! Surrounded on three sides by National Forest, you will have very few neighbors. Decorated in an eclectic boho style with furniture imported from Indonesia, some reclaim wood and a wine barrel kitchen island that doubles as a table, Bella Vista provides breathtaking lake views from the master bedroom, great room and outdoor living space. Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, one bedroom, one bath cabin.

Bella Vista is entirely off-grid. We produce our own power, water (well), hot water and have our own septic system. We are 100% green and still have all the luxuries of home! Because we are green; however, we do have to choose which luxuries we would like to have. In our efforts to conserve energy, we have decided to opt out of bath and hot tubs in all of our mountain cabins. We also have have a filter, but the well water has iron in it, so please bring bottled water if this makes you uncomfortable.

Bedroom 1: King master bedroom and Twin bed and Double sofa bed located down the hall in living room to accommodate second couple or kiddos
Bathroom 1: Full bathroom with walk-in shower

🚨 We realize that this is where most like to stop reading, but we ask that you please scroll a little more to review the important information for the drive in and more! 🚨

►✨ DRIVE IN / ACCESS
The mountain cabins sit 5 miles off of Highway 259 and is accessed by US Forest Service roads. It’s a beautiful drive and we oftentimes see white tail deer, turkey, and birds of prey including red tail hawks and various owls!

You will need a vehicle with some clearance as well as a bit of driving skill to make it in. 4WD and/or AWD is NOT necessary, but helpful.

► We strongly suggest:
→ a small, medium or large SUV
→ any size truck
→ a crossover
► We strongly advise against:
→ a minivan
→ a sedan or coupe

The first 2 miles of the drive are easy and you can drive 25 mph. The remaining 3 miles are slower and requires some attention. You will cross 4 or 5 small creeks on the way in. Water is rarely more than 4 inches deep. The roads are rocky and bumpy, but will not ever be muddy.

There are also grades up to 12% on gravel roads. This means you will travel up the mountain until you have reached our mountain top.

Don't have a vehicle that meets the requirements, but still want to visit? We have partnered with Marc at Red Dirt Car Service and have several happy guests that have already used this transportation service! Please send an inquiry for more information.

►✨ TECHNOLOGY & CELL SERVICE
Bella Vista now has AT&T Internet and there is cell phone service! Verizon and AT&T work best, while Sprint and T-Mobile are limited. There are no TVs or cable. You will need to bring your own entertainment and pre-download your movies on your own device before arriving.
Disclaimer: Bear Creek Vacations is not responsible for reliability of internet or outages from service provider. WiFi is provided as a convenience only and is not integral to the use the property. No refund of payments shall be given for outages, content, lack of content, speed, access problems, lack of knowledge of use or personal preference regarding services.

►✨ BOATS, TRAILERS & ATVs, oh my!
Boats & Trailers: Please do not try to bring a boat up to any of our cabins on the mountain! You will likely regret it, we promise! 😉 All jokes aside, Beavers Bend Marina has slips that you can rent for your stay and it’s super convenient to leave your boat in the water. They can also provide a place to leave your trailer!
ATVs: You can ride straight into the Ouachita National Forest from our property! Please check with the US Forest Service for all laws regarding ATV riding. It’s possible for a group of riders to rack up several thousand dollars in fines.
Bear Creek Vacations will not be held responsible for any tickets, violations or accidents.

►✨ GRILL & FIRE
The grill is propane and directly wired into the house. Instead of a propane tank, you will see a timer. There is a fire pit. Please bring matches. Our cleaning service no longer provides firewood.

►✨ MAX OCCUPANCY
Bella Vista sleeps 4. Due to fire marshal regulations and insurance purposes, the number of guests per cabin is strictly enforced. Additionally, our off-grid systems cannot sustain more than the max number of guests.

►✨ PUP-FRIENDLY
Maximum of 2 dogs allowed. No cats. Pet Fee: $150 per stay. Please review house rules and pet policy prior to bringing your pets to avoid additional charges.

Wonderful stay!
The cabin was secluded with amazing views. We were able to hike down to the lake. Also within easy driving distance to restaurants and activities. The hosts were great - easy to communicate with. He went above and beyond to return something we left behind! We will definitely return.

Beautiful mountain top cabin
My husband and I stayed at this cabin for a little getaway. It was perfect, exactly as described. The location and views were exactly what we were looking for and it surpassed our expectations. Everything about the cabin was perfect, you get to disconnect from the world (if you want to) but still have everything and more you need. Beautiful views from every room in the house. The host was extremely helpful and quick with any questions you may have. Checkin and check out was a breeze with their clear directions! Highly recommend this cabin and look forward to visiting bear creek vacations again!!

Awesome, absolutely awesome…
Another incredible stay at Bella Vista…this is my favorite cabin, has everything I need and the views are spectacular…I mean, you kinda can’t beat having coffee looking at the lake and mountains, or having wine by the fireplace at night. Hiked to the lake twice, once to the side I always go to (it’s got this beautiful area right before you get to the water that you can sit a spell on some downed trees)…and the next day, tried the other side. My first try with it, I hit the end of the trail and there was a lot of environmental debris, so I never went back…but this time, when I hit the environmental debris, I happen to see where the trail continued and made it into this area where you had space to really explore the lake…my inner Jack Skellington came out and all I kept saying was “what’s this? what’s this?”…definitely worth checking out.

I love the secluded location of the cabin. The dirt road and elevation makes the drive to/from the cabin an adventure. The sunrise in the morning is epic. Taking in views on patio with the fireplace is pure serenity. The cabin is beautiful and clean.

An amazingly wonderful place to get away from it all
This is an absolutely wonderful place to completely unplug from the everyday hustle and bustle of life. My wife and I were looking for a place that was beautiful and quiet. This cabin didn't disappoint. The views are amazing and ease at which you can just enjoy nature is incredible. We enjoy watching birds, so we would go out on the patio to listen for, and hopefully see, some of the incredible variety of birds flying back and forth around the cabin. We heard over 30 different (new) species of birds that we don't normally get to hear! Additionally, the sunrises are amazing to see. The colors over the peaks are absolutely stunning to watch as they transition during the sunrise. It was hard to leave, but we will hopefully make it back sooner than later. Highly recommend this location.

The cabin is so secluded, and the views from the patio are truly magical. The cabin has everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and there are windows in every room so you always get an amazing view no matter where you are. I would stay here 10x over, and we will definitely be back.

Fabulous Secluded Getaway
This was a perfect, quiet, secluded retreat for our couple's anniversary weekend. If you want calm, quiet and seclusion, this is for you. The last 4-mile road is narrow, steep and difficult, so definitely heed instructions about having SUV or truck. Due to the mountainous terrain, steep drop-offs, lack of TV, spotty cell/WiFi service and possible encounters with wildlife (we had a timber rattlesnake on-property for a couple of days), I would not recommend this property for children under teen age. There is a sofa and futon for sleeping up to 4, and there are games available for families, so if you bring young ones, just keep a very close eye on them when not indoors. The view was indeed amazing, we loved the porch (when the snake wasn't visiting), the bed was very comfortable, and it was clean (other than some dishes we had to rewash before using, as previous visitors did not wash well). Overall, we absolutely loved this place and would definitely return if quiet seclusion is our goal.

This was an incredible trip. The location is exactly what we were hoping for. It felt like we were the only people in the national forest. We explored the forest roads around the cabin and walked to the water with our dog. We cannot wait to come back with the newest member of our family.
