The cabin

Tucked into the hillside, minutes from Hot Springs

The Bear's Den is built for two. You get the whole cabin: an open kitchen and living space, a bedroom with a walk-in closet, a step-in shower, and a balcony that looks straight into the trees.

It sits on 23 acres at Hidden Point, so mornings are quiet and the nearest sound is usually the woods. Guests describe it as private, peaceful and spotless, and close enough to town that dinner downtown is an easy drive.

★★★★★

My husband and I wanted to visit Hot Springs and we found the perfect place for a couples getaway. It's very private, in the mountains but still close enough to downtown, just a short drive. Everything that you need, easy entry and Hattie was great.

★★★★★

Amazing stay out in the woods but close enough for Hot Springs fun! It was a quiet cabin to retreat to for reading and relaxing after hiking or shopping.

★★★★★

Super convenient and less than 5 minutes to the park. WiFi was fast, TV worked great, and the kitchen had anything we needed. The cabin was actually cleaner than expected.

★★★★★

Step onto the back porch with a fresh cup of coffee and take in the serene views of the surrounding woods. The Bear's Den offers a true sense of solitude while still providing all the comforts of home.

★★★★★

Hattie not only met my expectations, but went above and beyond to make sure our stay was excellent. The place was quiet, peaceful, clean, and had every amenity we needed to call this place "home" for the weekend. The next time I travel to Hot Springs, I will only stay here.
