Guests should plan on driving, as the cabin is a rural riverfront property roughly a ten-minute drive from downtown Heber Springs and about 86 kilometers from Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. Bringing your own boat or fishing gear is worthwhile given the private dock and nearby marina, and the Blackstone grill and patio make outdoor cooking an easy option during the stay.
