Caddo River Shack - 2 secluded acres with Kayaks and outdoor tub - Pet Friendly

Enjoy a park-like and secluded 2 acres on the Caddo River with over 1/4 mile of river frontage. This clean and comfortable "Shack" sits close to the water with free kayaks for guests to enjoy during their stay. Watch the river and deer from the screened porch, kayak up and downstream from the property, swim in the 8-foot-deep swimming area or wade in the shallows. Sit around the fire as owls call out and eagles and osprey soar through the valley. Bathe in the outdoor tub on the screened porch!

The shack is comfortable, clean, and full of simple amenities. There is only one bed, so the shack is not suitable for families or groups, but it's a great romantic spot for a couple or the lone-traveler seeking a beautiful spot on the river. So, shack up at the River Shack for a few nights and discover how Shacktastic this spot on the Caddo River really is! Tin roof... Rusted!

The Caddo River is one of the most popular kayaking and tubing rivers in Arkansas. In the summer, you will enjoy watching groups of people float past! It gets especially busy on weekends and holidays in the summer. Weekdays and off-season days are much quieter. From October to February, you will rarely see anyone else on the river and can enjoy the water by yourselves. March through May is mostly just weekend floaters.

Additional notes on seclusion: This is the only rental on the 2 acre property. There are only two neighbors in the area, but they are separated by a lot of trees so your part of the river will feel secluded and private. There is a clean cattle ranch across the paved road that hosts beautiful Brahmas. There is no development across the river giving you more shoreline and woods to explore. You may hear a lumber processing plant across the river in the distance through the trees and occasionally kayakers will treat you to their favorite tunes as they float by. The river is usually very quiet, allowing you to be alone on the water most days between September and May. However, weekends, holidays, and warm summer days sometimes bring a lot of tubers and kayakers to the water during the day. It's usually quiet again in the evenings even on summer days.

Location: The Shack is only 2 miles from Glenwood on a paved road. In Glenwood are restaurants, a grocery store, and pharmacies.

Cell service: We are thankful to have fair to good cell service on the property although some carriers are not great inside the shack.

This is a perfect area. We really enjoyed staying at this location. The only concern was that it could have been cleaner. There was a pan full of bacon grease and the ceiling fan had alot of dust. Could have used some mixing bowls and a colander. Other then that it was perfect. I would go back and stay longer.

Wonderful Cabin on the Caddo!
My husband and I and our two Border Collies stayed at "The Shack" for 4 glorious nights, our first time to Arkansas (a hidden gem!), and our 2nd time to see the Total Solar Eclipse on the Line of Totality! Clean and comfortable cabin right on the beautiful Caddo River, along a quiet rural road that I enjoyed jogging along each morning. Great place for a couple and their dog(s) to get away and relax and enjoy nature. The cabin had plenty of cooking and grilling supplies, a comfy bed with a river view, a nice shower, two cozy recliners, two kayaks, a gigantic firepit with chairs, a sandy beach area on the river, and a secluded wooded two acres to roam with a creek running through it. The weather cooperated with perfectly clear skies to view the awesome eclipse right from the yard, making for a truly amazing trip. I highly recommend The Shack on the Caddo!
