Glamping Deck Amazing View!
Guest rating: 4.4 / 5
Overview
This glamping deck is a customizable, second-story sleeping porch attached to a rustic lodge in rural Arkansas, offering a private outdoor retreat with a covered deck overlooking a fishing and swimming pond and distant mountains. The space can be styled for special occasions, such as princess-themed mother-daughter trips or red-and-roses anniversary getaways, and two cots can be added to sleep up to four guests. A private outside entrance leads directly to the deck, keeping the experience secluded from the main lodge.
Room Character
The deck features a full-size bed draped in mosquito netting, a seasonal electric blanket for cooler nights, and a fan for warm weather, letting guests sleep amid fresh mountain air while staying comfortable in any season. Power outlets are available for charging phones or running small devices, and complimentary bottled water is provided.
Amenities & Facilities
In-unit conveniences include a mini refrigerator, coffee maker, and an outdoor grill, plus a full kitchen, microwave, and oven stove for guests who want to prepare meals. Guests also have access to a separate guest facilities building roughly 280 feet away via outdoor stairs, which includes showers, restrooms, laundry (washer), and a kitchenette. The property is smoke-free, pet-friendly, kid-friendly, and offers free parking and a balcony.
Location & Surroundings
Set in a quiet, forested part of Arkansas, the property is closest to Mt. Ida-area dining, including MT. IDA CAFE, Shack Attack Pizza, El Diamante Mexican Restaurant, 270 Diner, and Dairyette, all roughly 15,000 to 16,400 meters away. Additional restaurant options such as Sweetpea's Smokehouse, Chopping Block Steakhouse, Glenwood Fish Nest, and Brady Mountain Grill on Wheels are within a broader driving radius. Hot Springs Memorial Field Airport (about 65 km) and Fort Smith Regional Airport (about 96 km) serve as the nearest air links.
Best for
This retreat suits couples seeking a romantic, secluded escape, thanks to the customizable romantic decor options, mosquito-netted bed, and pond-and-mountain views. It also works well for small families or groups of up to four who want a nature-focused glamping experience with kitchen access and pet-friendly policies, since cots can be added and pets are welcome.
Travel tips
Guests should expect the host to personally meet them on arrival and guide them to the private outside entrance, so it's worth coordinating an arrival time in advance. Bathroom and laundry facilities are about 280 feet away up an outdoor staircase, so pack a robe or slippers for the short walk, especially at night. Since dining options are all a 15+ km drive away, having a car is essential, and the in-unit kitchen, grill, and mini fridge are useful for self-catering.
