This Hidden Gem in Arkansas is Like Heaven on Earth
If you are looking for the perfect place to unwind for some peace and relaxation, my go-to place is a hidden gem in Arkansas not too far away from Texarkana.
Bethesda Lake Resort and Cabins
😍Bethesda Oasis
😍Private Lake
😃Fire Pit
The name says it all, Bethesda Lake Cabins are located in Mena, Arkansas cut through the mountains of the Ouachita National Forest. This peaceful 11-acre spring-fed private lake is home to several amazing cabins, farmhouses, and a glamour tent that is both charming and hospitable. If you love fishing Bethesda Lake offers anglers who are staying on the property a fully stocked lake with fish of all kinds. This is a catch-and-release-only lake and no fishing license is required since it is a private lake.
Staying on the property allows guests to use their free kayaks and canoes for a day on the lake. Trees are finally starting to turn vibrant fall colors and believe me, it's a site to see especially when on the lake.
Relax on a comfy chair in the banks or enjoy a picture-perfect picnic with tables and grills for cooking out. If you're into hiking trails or ATV trails there's something for everyone at Wolf Pen Gap Trail just down the road.
The Bethesda Oasis Cabin
While I was there I stayed at the Bethesda Oasis Cabin this cabin is the largest cabin with 4 large bedrooms and a large bunk room with an old vintage arcade machine. This cabin sleeps up to 16 people and some of the cabins come with a pool table.
There are 3 full bathrooms and one half bath. The master bedroom has a huge glass tile walk-in shower and a sunken tub for relaxing. And don't forget about the huge hot tub in front of the cabin, talk about leaving your troubles behind.
I loved the open-floor living area with a big HDTV with access to Netflix and a fully-stocked kitchen with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances and cookware. And what a view from the large picturesque window.
And what a view from the large picturesque window.
At the end of your long day sit and relax on one of their front porch rocking chairs that offer some beautiful views of the surrounding Ouachita Mountains and the lake.
With the cooler weather enjoy sitting around the outdoor fire pit roasting some marshmallows or making some S'mores.
Bethesda Lake Cabins is part of the family of Stonehill Farmhouse Cottages which are just down the road from the cabins. Bethesda Lakeside Cabin is just 2 hours away from Texarkana.
Michael Myers is the owner of the Bethesda Lake Cabins and no don't be afraid he is not that Micheal Myers from Halloween which he hears all the time. I found Michael to be very polite and accommodating to my needs making sure I had the time of my life.
Please visit their website or Facebook page and make this fall one to remember. I loved my stay at Bethesda Lake Cabins and I am planning on going back real soon because this place is like a little slice of heaven on Earth.
