Mount Nebo State Park ~Cabin

cabin

Since we were celebrating our tenth anniversary on this trip, I splurged a bit and got us a cabin instead of tent camping.

I always like to see what I am getting beforehand so I thought I would share what ours looked like.

We got the 1 bedroom model without any bells or whistles.

I see this as practice for a tiny house so I am always excited to see how we do in a smaller space!

bedroom

I actually thought the size of the bedroom was nice.

I could see myself living in there.

kitchen

These cabins come fully furnished and the kitchen has everything you need to cook.

I liked the size of the kitchen as well.

Mostly I like the idea of only having to clean this small of a space…

The boys slept on the futon.

outside

Most of the cabins we saw had amazing mountain views and outdoor eating spaces!

Ours was set back a bit so I would reccomend cabins 68 or 69 if you want to just sit and watch the sunset from your porch.

The cabin was clean and exactly what I wanted.

I could not believe the views from the cabins and really liked how close we were to the trails.

I would definitely enjoy staying here again!

Mt. Nebo State Park, Dardanelle, Arkansas.

To celebrate our 10yr anniversary, I rented a Cabin in Mt. Nebo State Park last weekend!

The road to get to the park is steep and very winding.

They do not recommend big trailers.

My boys thought it was a lot of fun, of course.

I had been wanting to visit this NW section of Arkansas for a while now and jumped at the chance to stay there.

I will do a separate post about the cabin but we were really happy with it!

We unloaded our stuff into the cabin so we could get a hike in before the sunset on Friday night.

We chose theĀ  Rim Trail as our first hike since you could access it from our cabin via the Summit Park Trail.

We went down about halfway on the waterfall trail.

On the way back up Nick saw another path so he went on it.

It ended up being a CCC path that met back up with the Rim Trail.

The boys do better when a trail is a little challenging so they really liked this one as well!

After Sunset Point we hopped back on the Summit Park trail to get back to our cabin.

The loop we did ended up being 3.87 miles.

We hung out at the Cabin for a bit, ate dinner, and headed back to Sunset Point.

I am glad he brought his camera for some sunset pics.

I brought their nature journals with us so they would have something to do while waiting for the sun to set.

On the way back to our cabin it was pretty dark.

We saw a deer walking around below us!

The boys also got their first taste of catching Fireflies!

I will share some more of our trip soon!
