The \"40 Steps\" Cabin Tiny house
Guest rating: 4.5 / 5
Overview
The "40 Steps" Cabin is a tiny house-style rental cabin tucked into a quiet stretch of Arkansas near the Spring River, designed as a peaceful retreat rather than a large resort property. Its name comes from its layout: the cabin sits just forty steps from a shared bathhouse, with a detached bathroom setup that suits travelers comfortable with a rustic, cabin-camping style stay. It's one of the newer cabins on the property and is noted for its scenic surroundings.
Amenities
The cabin includes air conditioning, a kitchen for preparing meals on-site, and an outdoor grill for cooking and dining outdoors. It is a smoke-free unit, and paid Wi-Fi is available for guests who need to stay connected. The detached bathhouse, located forty steps away, serves the cabin in place of an en-suite bathroom.
Recreation
The property sits about a mile from the Spring River, a major draw for floating, fishing, and general water play. On-site or nearby rental options include canoes, kayaks, and rafts, making it easy for guests to get out on the water without bringing their own gear. Pets are welcome, which adds flexibility for travelers bringing along four-legged companions on outdoor adventures.
Dining & Location
Several restaurants sit within a few kilometers, including Wood's Riverbend Restaurant, Stateline Plaza Restaurant, Fred's Fish House, and the Formerly Dorsey & Wanda's State Line Restaurant, all within roughly 3.3 to 3.7 km. Herb & Rye Brick Oven Pizza and Cielito Lindo offer additional casual dining options a short drive away. Jonesboro Municipal Airport is the nearest airport, though it is over 100 km away, so this cabin is best reached by car.
Best for
This cabin best suits couples, small families, or pet owners seeking a quiet, nature-focused getaway centered on the Spring River. Its river access, canoe/kayak/raft rentals, and outdoor grill make it especially appealing to travelers who want fishing, floating, or paddling as the main activity of their stay. It's less suited to travelers wanting full-service hotel amenities or an en-suite bathroom, given the detached bathhouse setup.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive by car, since the nearest airport (Jonesboro Municipal) is roughly 105 km away and there's no indication of on-site transit connections. Because the bathroom is detached and about forty steps from the cabin, pack a robe or slippers for nighttime trips to the bathhouse. Book canoe, kayak, or raft rentals in advance during peak river season, and bring groceries or plan restaurant visits, as the closest dining options are a few kilometers away by road.
