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)
✔ Starlink WiFi & Cell Service (AT&T & Verizon strongest)
✔ No TVs (unplug & reconnect with nature)

🛏 Sleeping Arrangements
✔ Bedroom 1: King master suite with sliding door to deck
✔ Bedroom 2: Queen bedroom + Twin bed 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.

This was amazing. Perfect views and vibes. The drive up isn’t terrible at all, just book the cabin and I promise you’ll be happy you did. The host are amazing and have clear communication before and during your trip. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. We spent majority of our time on the huge deck overlooking the lake. We had a great time and cannot wait to come back.

Warm thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin with our family! We absolutely loved starting the New Year here! The road up was a fun adventure in our 4WD and the cabin is so spacious, yet cozy. We lived on the back deck soaking up the beautiful view, morning coffee, and evening cocktails. We reclaimed time as days seemed longer to just unwind. 259 is great for exploring the local dining and shops. We loved the fire-pit for roasting hot dogs and nightly s’mores.  Loved family boardgames each night and reading books on the deck.  The view is so special here and stars/moon are so vibrant too.  Just wait for the sunrises and clouds!  WiFi was perfect and our Amazon Firestick worked great for YouTube TV. Andy and Debbie are wonderful hosts. The Summit House has our hearts and we cannot wait for our next visit. The Florsheim FamilySouthlake, Texas

We stayed for the weekend and honestly, it was amazing. From the drive in to the cabin, with all the deer along the way, everything was just what we needed for a peaceful little getaway. The view was perfect. There was a little blue bird perched on the treetops everyday singing for hours that we loved. It stormed on our last night, and watching the thunder and lightning from the bedroom was such a cool view. We will be back!
