Fun and cozy place for a family get away !
We drove 4 hours to get there and it was totally worth it ! Looked just like the pictures and even better in person ! Very easy to figure out how to get in and contact the owners if we had any questions and so many fun options to pass the time ! Wish we stayed longer but we will definitely be back ! Totally worth the price !!

Lovely Cabin in the Woods
The house was ideal for our family of 4. We have 2 kids under 8 who enjoyed fishing at the stock pond, hiking around the property, and playing on the playset. The porch swing and large back deck made for relaxing viewing areas for the parents! Being north of the Hochatown made the stay peaceful. We were able travel further north to the scenic drives and trailheads to hike. The property owners/hosts were gracious and stopped by to check on us and say hello during our stay. It was a great experience and we plan to go back!

We have stayed in several cabins, and this one is the best. It was so cozy and quite, and we enjoyed the outside fire pit and the property. Most of all , we enjoyed the fire place. We would love to go back.

Perfect for Kids!
We enjoyed our stay at the Briar Patch! Owners were really friendly, the outdoor activities around the cabin were perfect for the kids! Tons of wooded area to explore, nice pond with lots of small fish, private playground, cornhole and horseshoes! My 5 year old caught his very first fish here and about 10 more after that! Too small to keep, but great for kids! Cabin was clean and very well equipped with everything you could need apart from food, drinks, and your personal items! I definitely recommend bringing some food to cook because it is a ways from any restaurants! There’s a gas station at the intersection and another gas station and a dollar general a couple min away but we didn’t see anything else nearby! We brought food to cook so this wasn’t a problem for us. During the day we explored the area and then it was nice to come back to the cabin, let the kids fish, play, have a nice fire and wind down with a movie after! Things we did in the area: Cossatot River State Park in Arkansas (a little far out but not crowded at all unlike Broken Bow can get and we loved it!) Talimena Scenic Byway (Beautiful drive and if you do this you HAVE to go to Heavener, OK and eat at the Southern Belle restaurant, it’s a train car turned restaurant and the food is phenomenal!) while in Heavener we also did the Runestone Trail and it was really nice! Ryan, the owner, told us about a creek up the road and we checked that out on our last day and it was really nice! We had a great time,thank u!

Wonder-Filled Getaway!
This is a beautiful, well-maintained property that served as the perfect location for a family getaway to celebrate my daughter’s sixteenth birthday. Ryan was wonderfully helpful and made sure all our needs were met. He even stopped by after a long day to chop some wood to ensure the kids could make a fire. The cabin was incredibly clean and had everything we needed from kitchen utensils to extra blankets. The instant water heater was wonderful for hot baths in the spa tub and (just because another review mentioned it) there was no smell to the water. It was perfectly fine! We also had wonderful cell service the entire time we were there so we didn’t have any trouble using GPS to find the place (something else another reviewer mentioned). This truly is the perfect getaway! I cannot say enough wonderful things about it. Thank you, Ryan and April, for the wonderful memories with my family!

Too short
I wish we could have stayed longer but we had to go to help with a family situation. These are some of the nicest and most accommodating owners I have ever met. They went above and beyond to help us feel right at home. If you haven’t ever stayed with them you haven’t stayed with the best! We will definitely be going back as soon as we can! Thanks again Ryan and April!!!!!

Wonderful getaway
This was a lovely place for a nice peaceful getaway. Loved the back porch and the front porch with the swing. The view of the pond and woods from both the back porch and fireplace were wonderful. It was great that firewood was provided. Our doggo loved the little trail in the woods. Would definitely visit again.

Little cabin in the woods
We had a great time. While this was supposed to be a mom and dad only trip it quickly turned into a family trip! The hosts were completely understanding. The kids had a great time fishing and we enjoyed playing games inside when it when snowed outside or slushed.

Nice getaway
This is a cute little place surrounded by nature. It was enjoyable to sit outside by the fire pit or on the patio. It is well kept and clean with all the little things one would need for a quick get away. My only caution would be someone with problems ascending or descending stairs. There are stairs to get into the cabin, upstairs (of course) and off the back patio. The back door was difficult to open, too. The cabin is equipped with outdoor games, too, which was a fun surprise. All in all, a great weekend away.
