Roland's Cabin
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
Roland's Cabin is a tiny, rustic cabin located in Jerusalem, Arkansas, just 2.5 miles from the Ozark National Forest. The interior features barn tin on the walls for a distinctly rustic, countryside feel, making it a quiet retreat for travelers seeking a simple, nature-focused stay away from city hotels.
Rooms & Layout
The cabin sleeps guests via a queen bed plus a flip-flop sofa that converts into a twin, making it suitable for small groups or couples with a child. A full bathroom is included, and the compact layout keeps the focus on rustic comfort rather than resort-style amenities.
Kitchen & Amenities
The cabin comes equipped with a refrigerator, cookstove, oven, microwave, coffeemaker, cookware, and dishes, allowing guests to prepare their own meals in full. Additional comforts include air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a smoke-free interior. An outdoor grill and picnic table are available on-site, though guests need to bring their own charcoal.
Dining & Nearby Conveniences
A country store within walking distance offers a deli, pizza, and alcohol for casual needs. For sit-down dining, guests can drive to nearby Southern and American restaurants such as Blackwell Revival, Jesse's Grill, Colton's Steak House & Grill, Ridgewood Brothers BBQ, and Jose's International Cafe, most located within a 20-45 minute drive.
Location & Recreation
Set near the Ozark National Forest, the cabin is a base for hiking, fishing, hunting, and trail riding. Morrilton, Arkansas is about 20 minutes away for additional errands or dining, and Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport is roughly 92 kilometers away for those flying in.
Best for
This cabin best suits outdoor enthusiasts -- hikers, hunters, anglers, and trail riders -- drawn by its proximity to the Ozark National Forest and its self-catering kitchen for post-adventure meals. It's also a good fit for couples or small families seeking a rustic, low-key getaway rather than a full-service hotel experience.
Travel tips
Bring your own charcoal if you plan to use the outdoor grill, since it isn't supplied. The nearest quick supplies -- deli, pizza, and alcohol -- are available at a country store within walking distance, while a fuller range of restaurants and shops can be found about 20 minutes away in Morrilton. Since this is a remote cabin near the Ozark National Forest, a personal vehicle is effectively required to get around.
