Overview
This brand-new waterfront cabin, known as The Onyx, sits directly on The Little Red River just minutes from Searcy or Heber Springs, Arkansas. Styled as a modern take on a classic fishing cabin, it offers a quiet riverside retreat for anglers, couples, and families looking to unwind amid nature. The property is smoke-free and has earned a perfect 5-star rating across 32 reviews.
Rooms & Layout
The cabin features 2 king bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, providing privacy for couples or two traveling parties. A loft area serves as a second living space, complete with a couch that converts to a double bed and an oversized bean bag chair, allowing the home to comfortably sleep additional guests. Cable TVs are installed in every room.
Amenities & Recreation
Beyond the riverfront setting, the cabin is stocked with entertainment for downtime, including an axe-throwing game and Pac-Man and NBA Jam arcade machines, plus a 55-inch TV in the loft. Guests have access to a brand-new 16x20 fishing dock right outside the back door, shared with the neighboring property, ideal for trout fishing on The Little Red River. Practical comforts include a full kitchen with oven and stove, microwave, washer, air conditioning, heating, a fireplace, free Wi-Fi, and free parking.

Best for
This cabin is best suited for anglers drawn by the on-site dock and reputation for trout fishing, couples seeking a romantic, secluded riverside getaway, and small families or groups of up to 6 who want a private, arcade-equipped retreat. The combination of en-suite king bedrooms, a shared fishing dock, and in-house entertainment like arcade games and axe throwing makes it especially appealing to those wanting both relaxation and recreation in one stay.
Travel tips
Plan for a roughly 88km drive from Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, so renting a car is advisable for reaching this riverside cabin near Searcy and Heber Springs. Most dining options are a 17-27km drive away, so it's worth stocking the kitchen with groceries or planning meal trips in advance, though Country Kitchen is a quick 3km trip for something closer. Since the fishing dock is shared with the neighboring property, coordinate timing with guests next door if you plan to fish at peak hours.
