📸 Check us out on TikTok and Instagram for more incredible views: @bearcreekvacations

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.

►✨ 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.
