The Enchanted — A Quiet Riverside Retreat in the Heart of the Ouachita

The Enchanted — A Quiet Riverside Retreat in the Heart of the Ouachita Tucked into our private four-cabin haven, The Enchanted sits just across the road from the National Forest with the Ouachita River a short walk away. The Space The Enchanted earns its name. Step outside and you're immediately surrounded by forest — the National Forest trailhead is literally across the road, and 1,000 feet of private river access is just a short walk away. It's the kind of setting where the outside pulls you out of bed in the morning. The main floor offers a full kitchen, open living and dining area, and a spacious covered deck with seasonal river views — the right place to linger over coffee or wind down with a drink at the end of the day. Upstairs, a private bedroom with two queen beds and a full bath gives the whole group a comfortable, restful retreat. On the Water & In the Woods Walk down to our shared dock for swimming, fishing, and volleyball along 1,000 feet of Ouachita riverfront. Canoe and kayak rentals and guided river trips are available seasonally with an advance reservation. Right across the road, short trails wind into the National Forest — an easy walk into genuine wilderness, no drive required. Evenings at The Enchanted Fire up the grill as the sun drops behind the tree line, then settle in under one of the darkest skies in Arkansas. The Milky Way is visible on clear nights, fireflies drift through the trees in season, and the quiet here is the kind you feel in your shoulders.
