Summit Cabin | 180° Lake Views & Off-Grid Escape

🌄 The Summit House – Off-Grid Mountain Escape
Welcome to The Summit House, where breathtaking views, ultimate seclusion, and an off-grid retreat await! Nestled atop a ridgeline deep in the Ouachita National Forest, this 1,100 sq. ft. cabin offers uninterrupted panoramic views from every room—even the shower! At night, the star-filled sky provides a dazzling display of shooting stars.

This is not your average cabin stay—it’s an adventure. Please read the full description to ensure this unique experience is right for you!

🌿 Escape to Nature—Off-Grid & Eco-Friendly
The Summit House is 100% off-grid, generating its own solar power, well water, and septic system while still providing modern comforts.
✔ No bath or hot tub (to conserve energy)
✔ Well water with filtration (contains natural iron—bring bottled water if preferred)

🛏 Sleeping Arrangements
✔ Bedroom 1: King master suite with sliding door to deck
✔ Bedroom 2: Queen bedroom + Twin bed located just outside the room
✔ Bathroom: Full bath with walk-in shower & mountain views

The open-concept living and dining space is perfect for gathering, with a bar seating five, a stainless steel kitchen, and an outdoor propane grill on the two-level deck to soak in the views.

Relax, unwind, and enjoy the forest’s natural beauty—whether you’re a hiker, birdwatcher, or just here for the tranquility.

Exactly what we wanted!
We loved our visit to the Summit house with our two dogs. Gorgeous views, relaxing retreat with nature. The listing description is very accurate… you are off the grid. We loved the back deck and so did our dogs. We brought a wire gate to go across the deck steps so they could relax with us. We look forward to returning!

Amazing Adventure!
The cabin location was absolutely beautifully! Pictures don’t do it justice. We loved the seclusion and peacefulness. The kitchen was well stocked (a plus for us bc we like cooking). We really enjoyed riding some of the trails in the area in our jeep. We would definitely love to come back in the fall for the beautiful views!

Second Stay at Summit House
Glad we got back again to take in those views. My pics still can’t do justice to being there. Just as last time, we especially enjoyed the views, the quiet, and walking the trails nearby. Hope to be back again and soon.

Exactly as depicted!
Relaxation, seclusion, privacy, and immaculate views is exactly what we were looking for and precisely what we got! Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway from the hustle and bustle of Dallas! Our only hiccup was one of the A/C units was not working to it’s potential - we were able to communicate with the property manager and they promptly got it fixed for us and the rest of our stay was fabulous. NOTE: if you plan to bring pets and go out hiking—the paths are rather rocky and is hard on their paws for longer distances.

Peaceful retreat
This cabin is great place to get away and unplug from everything. Very clean We took food & cooked our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. We went with another couple and enjoyed sitting by the fire pit and sitting on the back porch & relaxing during the day. Had a great time and didn’t want to leave . We hope to make another trip in the fall.

Peaceful and Beautiful Cabin
We celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary and wanted a low key getaway. The Summit House did not disappoint. We were able to watch the sunset, sunrise and even a dense fog sunrise which was absolutely stunning. We even stargazed one night and saw a couple of shooting stars. We can't wait to plan our next trip and check out the other properties. Thank you for the beautiful memories.

The additional directions provided ensured we arrived without getting lost and our stock SUV made it up without a problem. We discovered a small issue our first morning but I messaged the owners and they were very quick to resolve it. We loved the views, the location, and had a great time.
