Great For Honeymoons To Hunting
A broad range of people enjoy Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin. Everyone from honeymooners to hunters enjoy its forest setting. Honeymooners walk along our quiet country road enjoying wildflowers, birding, and wildlife watching, and listening to the large creek with its ledge rock riffles. Hunters enjoy going deep into the forest on foot or horseback. Fishers enjoy having great trout and smallmouth bass fishing so close by. Children enjoy playing with a long list of fascinating objects from rocks to the little lizards laying in the sun, and hunting for salamanders in the creek. Executives enjoy the quiet and privacy so far removed from the office phone. During spring and summer you'll hear song birds by day, and whippoorwills and owls at night.

The Cabin
Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin is a modern, clean, two bedroom full housekeeping cabin that comfortably sleeps six adults. There is a bathroom with shower, a living room with satellite TV, and a kitchen with a six place dinette set. The cabin has electric heat and air conditioning. The living room has a couch and a love seat with two recliners. The kitchen includes a full size refrigerator with freezer, electric can opener, spice rack, electric mixer, full size four burner electric range with oven, microwave, drip coffee maker, electric fish fryer, crock pot, 4-slice toaster, cookware, tableware for six, and cabinets for grocery storage. A combination gas grill and smoker make possible a wide range of gourmet game and other recipes during your stay. 

The bedroom off the living room sleeps up to four adults in two sets of twin bunk beds. The bedroom off the kitchen has one full size bed. The living room couch is also a sleeper sofa that sleeps two. The bathroom, which is accessible from the living room, is between the two bedrooms. We furnish bath towels and bed linens.

The interior walls and trim are attractive solid 3/4 inch thick native red oak, pine, and ash lumber produced at Jones' sawmill, which is just up the road from the cabin. The exterior walls are pine boards also made by Jones'.

The front porch overlooks the grass front yard and is where many guests love to spend their evenings. Mosquitoes and biting insects are rare here so sitting outside in the evening is a truly pleasurable experience. Furniture includes a two-seat coaster and porch chairs. A few feet away from the cabin is a campfire pit with benches, and a grill for BBQs. Campfire wood is available free of charge for as little or as much as you care to burn. There is an ice machine on site for coolers.

Stables & Riding
While we do not offer horseback riding, you are welcome to bring your own horses and mules. (Current Coggins required.) Our corral has water, four outside stalls and two stalls in the covered shed, and a tack room. There is room to park your livestock trailer two hundred feet from the corral. When you are ready for a day's ride, just saddle up and head out for any of several trails leading through the National Forest. No need to trailer your animals to trail heads.

Spring House For Game Treatment
Built for our hunting guests, the Spring House is made for dressing and preparing your game and fish. It has a cement floor, a cleaning table with double stainless sink with running water, and small game dressing hooks. There are several electrical outlets, electric heat, and cooling is by cold air blown in from the spring. For large game we have room to hang two animals in the shed. Freezer space is also available.

Live Bait Box
Spring water continuously flows through a large live bait box at the Spring House for keeping crayfish and minnows. Bring your own live bait, or catch it in the river and keep it fresh during your stay.

River and Lake Fishing
There are no closed fishing seasons in Arkansas, so you can fish any day of the year. The cabin is two miles from the uncrowded Cartney Public Access to the White River. Rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and some brook trout are the sportfish found in the White River. Several world line class record trout have been caught in these waters. Trophy trout of four pounds or more are caught on a regular basis, and a day's catch of 20 to 60 rainbow trout 12 to 18 inches long are common. The world's second largest brown trout ever caught on tackle was taken a few miles away in the North Fork river where there is also abundant brook trout.You can bank fish, or fish from a boat.

Because the White and North Fork rivers are tailwater fisheries, you can also wade fish, but only during periods of low water. If smallmouth bass are your preferred sportfish, the Buffalo National River holds strong populations of large smallmouth, and you can also fish for smallmouth in this section of the White River. The Buffalo is 15 minutes away by boat from the White. Jon Boat rentals are available right at the cabin, or bring your own. We have room to park your trailer.

Norfork Lake, which is 15 miles away, offers year around fishing for striped bass, crappie, largemouth, smallmouth, catfish, panfish, white bass, and walleye. You can rent boats at lake marinas like or bring your own. If you prefer to fish with a local professional guide, we can arrange guided trips for you on lake or river.

Hunting
Black bear, whitetail deer, wild turkey, and squirrel are the primary game here. Arkansas has modern rifle, archery, and muzzleloading seasons. Fifty yards above the cabin is our private food plot. There are many more food plots in the National Forest. Whether on horseback, driving, on foot, or on ATV, you'll find many places to hunt in the surrounding 136,000 acres of U.S. Forest Service land in the Sylamore District of the Ozark National Forest. Hunt from horseback straight from the cabin, or make short drives to any number of food plots and other prime hunting spots. We are in the Sylamore (sill-a-more) Wildlife Management area, zone 620.

Eco Attractions
Whether you want a simple drive-up spot to watch wildlife, or really want true Wilderness, its here. Wildflower walks, birding, and day hikes are all close by. Of the 136,000 acres of public lands near our cabin, 16,956 are in the Leatherwood Wilderness Area, and another 22,044 are in the Lower Buffalo Wilderness for a total of 39,000 acres of U.S. Government owned contiguous Wilderness area. Only horseback and foot access are allowed in the Wilderness areas. Old logging roads and unmarked trails wind all through these lands. Some of the most impressive Karst geology of the Ozarks can be found in the Cliffty Canyon Special Interest Botanical Area, which also is inhabited by some 120 species of wildflowers. Cliffty Canyon is in Forest Service lands so you can drive to it in a four wheel drive vehicle. Clear Ozark spring fed creeks can be found in the bottoms of several other canyons. The Arkansas Department of Fish and Game maintains several food plots, all with good road access, in the Sylamore District of the Ozark National Forests.

The Ozark Highlands hiking trail winds for 23 miles through our area with three trail heads on the highway a few miles away. The Sylamo Mountain Bike Trails, some 30 miles of stacked loop treks through the Ozark terrain far from buildings, are about 30 minutes away.

Civil Attractions
When you want to come in out of the hills and go to town, its a scenic 35 minute drive to Mountain View, Arkansas. This small town has been a delight to tourists for many years. Mountain View is known for its live Blue Grass music, top quality art, antique, and craft shopping, and some good restaurants. The Ozark Folk Center, also nearby, has 20-plus live demonstrations of Ozark pioneer skills, plus a gift shop, restaurant, and a live music show theater. Blanchard Springs Caverns is an underground wonder, but also has swimming and fishing. If watersports are what you want, Norfork Lake is 15 miles away. Water skiing, tubing, scuba, and just plain cruising the lake are all possible if you rent a boat from a local marina, or bring your own. Mountain Home, Arkansas is about 25 minutes away and also offers shopping, dining, golf, and attractions.

Directions
Whether coming from the north or south you'll need to travel on Highway 341 (aka Push Mountain Road). We will give you directions to Cross Roads Store, which is at the intersection of Highway 341 and CR 72 in Baxter County, Arkansas. ("CR" stands for County Road in Baxter County.) Look for our sign at the intersection of 341 and CR 72. At the store turn onto CR 72, a gravel road, and go 6 tenths of a mile to an intersection. Go straight, don't turn left. You will now be on CR 114. Go 1/2 mile and you will see Jones' Sawmill on your right, go another 3 tenths of a mile and you'll see Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin on your left.
