About this house rental
Windchimes Cabin — Ouachita River Seclusion in the Heart of the Ouachitas
1,500 square feet of private retreat on the banks of the Ouachita River, nestled within our intimate four-cabin resort deep in the National Forest. The nearest traffic light is 35 miles away. The river is seconds from your door.
Sleeps 12 — Spread Out in Style
Windchimes is built for big groups and multigenerational getaways, with comfortable sleeping arrangements across two levels.
Downstairs — Private queen bedroom with a full bath, perfect for the couple or parents who want their own space.
Upstairs Loft — Two queen beds, a twin trundle, and a full-over-full bunk bed, served by a second full bath.
Everyone has a place to land, and the downstairs bedroom gives whoever needs it a proper door to close.
The Windchimes Experience
Windchimes invites you to slow down the moment you walk in. The space is entirely yours, shared only with the people you brought with you. No strangers. No crowds. Just 1,500 square feet of comfortable, private cabin life with 1,000 feet of river frontage stretching out beyond your door.
One neighboring cabin sits 130 feet away — the only one you'll ever see from your cabin. Everything else is forest, river, and sky.
Life on the River
The Ouachita runs just 212 feet from your cabin, with easy walk or drive-down access to the water. Spend your days canoeing past towering rock bluffs draped in wildflowers, floating a lazy tube downriver, swimming in clear pools, or dropping a line for smallmouth bass, bluegill, catfish, walleye, and more. The river is gentle and family-friendly — mostly Class I–II rapids between long stretches of flat, glassy water — and completely free of commercial development.
On-site activities include canoeing and kayaking rentals, swimming, fishing, and hiking, Shuttle service is available for floats-rentals and shuttles should be pre-booked.
March through November brings the most popular conditions, with spring wildflowers, summer shade, and fall's brilliant color — but every season here has its own quiet reward.
Truly Unplugged
There is no cell service on the property, but there IS Starlink wifi for streaming, wifi calling, social media, etc.
We encourage you to step away from your device as much as possible.
This is a place to be present and enjoy nature.
Nights to Remember
Gather around the campfire after dark, roast marshmallows, and look up. We're located near one of the darkest sky areas in Arkansas — the Milky Way is clearly visible on clear nights, and fireflies drift through the trees by the thousands in season. Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, and the occasional Roadrunner round out the wildlife sightings during the day.
Explore Beyond the Cabin
Short trails into the National Forest begin just steps away. Venture further and you'll find the Womble Trail, Ouachita Trail, and Lake Ouachita Vista Trail — world-class routes for mountain biking and hiking. Secluded forest trails like Fourche Mountain Trail are ideal for ATV riding. Nearby, horseback riding, crystal mining, and biking add even more to a full itinerary.
And don't miss Mount Ida, the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World, just a short drive away — a one-of-a-kind experience for rock hounds of every level.

The unit was very comfortable and access to the river was good. We spent a lot of time in the river, which was pretty clear. Caught a couple of fish, but did not fish seriously. Had a good time at the fire we had every night.. they supplied the wood. A place for marshmallows and friends to get toasted. It was great having my pets with me.

Another excellent trip! This is our families favorite place for a long weekend. River was low but still had a great time. We will see you again soon!

My friends and I always find a river getaway to celebrate once a year for our oldest dear friends birthday! We float the river and relax all weekend and catch up. This was our first visit to ORH and it was wonderful! Highly Recommend!!

Very comfortable, peaceful, close proximity to the river, hiking trail and lots of other activities. Cabin is stocked with all the kitchen utensils, big BBQ grill and a cool fridge. Cabin has two patio to enjoy the outdoors. Would recommend the hospitality of Casey and beauty of Arkansas to family and friends.
