This Snowy Arkansas Cabin Is the Coziest Winter Escape

If you're looking to really get away from it all, deep in the depths of beautiful Arkansas this winter, then you're going to love everything about this cabin in Pelsor. Pelsor is a small town in the Ozark National Forest and is also known as Sand Gap.

This part of the state is really quite out there. It's about 45 minutes north of Russellville. People visit this area in the summertime for hunting, hiking, camping, and fishing on public land in places like the nearby Fairview Recreation Area and Richland Creek Wilderness.

Dozens of trails exist in this region; the Ozark-Highlands Trail passes through the Ozark National Forest here, and many visit to check out the impressive Pedestal Rocks rock formations and the beauty of Kings Bluff, too. Plus, this area is rich with waterfalls. Native American Falls, Falling Water Falls, Car Wash Falls, Richland Falls, and Haw Creek Falls are just a few of the spectacular waterfalls in this part of the state.

As you might imagine, the area surrounding Pelsor can get quite busy in the summertime, even though it's rather rural and remote. Certainly, people come to this region to recreate in the wintertime, too, but it's far quieter; you're less likely to encounter other visitors during the slow season. That's what makes this cabin a perfect spot for a winter adventure. You can still enjoy all of the local nature attractions listed above, but you'll kind of have things all to yourself.

This cabin is perfect for small or large groups. It sleeps up to 14 guests in three bedrooms, and there are nine beds in this 3,500-square-foot home. It's a top-rated property on Airbnb, and it's easy to see why. Everything about this cabin is simply lovely.

You'll find everything you need in this cabin for a perfect winter getaway. Light a fire in the fireplace, settle in, and relax. The kitchen is modern and spacious, and there are two bathrooms to share. You'll find a washer and dryer available for guest use, too. You and your companions will also love the heated game room. There, you'll find a ping pong table, a foosball table, a dartboard, and the hosts also provide a collection of board games that will keep you busy well into the evening if you allow it.

The three bedrooms in this vacation rental are cozy and welcoming, and there's additional space for sleeping in loft spaces, too. There's one bedroom with a king-sized bed and a loft space with two twin bunk beds and two full futon beds. In a separate area, you'll find two rooms with queen-sized beds plus another loft with two twins. Clearly, there's plenty of space for a large group as needed — or for a smaller group to spread out quite a bit.

This vacation home is on two acres, which has a small pond, ATV trails, and so much more. The views of the surrounding mountains and valley are spectacular, and you'll love gazing out the window when pausing between chapters of your book or chess matches.

You'll love a winter vacation at this cabin in Pelsor. It is truly a woodland dream! When the snow falls, you'll be speechless and amazed by how quiet and beautiful this part of Arkansas can be in the wintertime. Plan a stay today — you'll be glad that you did.
