Welcome to Fancy Hill Cabins and RV Park LLC and our Lil’ “Rustic Retreat” Cabin at Jack Creek. Lil’ “Rustic Retreat” Cabin is situated on approximately 10 rural acres of beautiful wooded & privately owned land. Located in Fancy Hill, Arkansas on Jack Creek.

Our cabin is located 12 miles from Little Missouri Falls and Albert Pike, within 45-minute drive of local crystal mines in Mt. Ida, Arkansas, 20 minute drive from local canoe rental in Glenwood, Arkansas and an hour drive from Hot Springs and Mena. We are located a short 10 minute drive from the Caddo River.

In 1862, Phillip N. Cogburn(great grandfather of the owner) was granted homestead for land by President Benjamin Harrison. The Homesteading Act of 1862, provided public land grants of 160 acres to any adult citizen who paid a small registration fee and agreed to live on the land continuously for 5 years, after which they would be granted a deed to the land. Our family still privately own’s some of this original land today.

The cabin was custom built on site by the owners, with a “tree” centered in the middle of the cabin, the cabin was constructed from hand cut trees off the property and hand-milled on the family sawmill, you will see posts on the porch that were debarked by a ol’ family draw knife by hand.

All the imperfections in the cabin, the wood, the lumber variations in size and shape and the construction of the cabin, make for a true rustic cabin feel and lend a ol’ frontier look to the cabin. Enjoy the cabins practical beauty, simple rustic old time charm, and cozy interior. Custom pine cabinets adorn the kitchen. Made on – site!!

The fresh cedar enclosed bathroom consists of a unique glass paneled shower, a Jack Daniels Whiskey Barrel which the owners brought back from their trip to Tennessee straight from the Jack Daniels Whiskey Distillery, the barrel is toped with a beautiful rock shaped sink and custom faucet. Fall asleep in a beautiful full size handmade log cedar bed and enjoy your fresh coffee or old-fashioned country breakfast at the weathered spool bench table centered around the beautiful pine tree cut right off the property.

Come sit on the porch of this little ol’ country beauty, listen to Jack Creek rippling by as you cuddle up in the handmade pine bed swing or enjoy a ol’ fashioned glass bottled coke in one of our rocking chairs. Slip back to simpler times, quiet moments, beautiful family time around the kitchen table, and the simple joy of being in the “now” moment.

Bring a book and enjoy in the cool shade on the swinging hammock situated right on the banks of the creek or in the shade of a beautiful tree or simply enjoy a fun game of horseshoes for a bit of good ol’ competitive fun. Grill those juicy steaks on the charcoal grill as you listen to Jack Creek ripple by.

Enjoy hamburgers grilled to perfection with all the fixins’ at your creek side picnic table as you watch the stars light up the night sky. Don’t forget those late evening smore’s over the open rock fire pit as the sun sets on a adventurous day of back roading or galivanting. There is ample room for parking your four-wheeler and atv trailers.

Lil’ “Rustic Retreat” is a true cabin experience, with rustic pine walls and ceiling, nothing is perfect here; just simple ol’ rustic charm. With different colors and textures of wood used, we cannot guarantee the cabin to be hypoallergenic due to the materials being used, rustic wood shrinks and expands due to weather and temperatures.

We personally build each unique cabin on site from the ground up with repurposed materials and materials that we manufacture on our family sawmill, established in 1975. We hope when you step inside any of our cabins you feel right at home, enjoy the imperfect rustic beauty, notice the workmanship and care we have placed in each one and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds each cabin.

Reconnect. Relax. Unwind. Unplug.
Explore. Getaway.
