Looking for a vacation at a few of the best secluded cabins in Hot Springs, Arkansas? Hot Springs is situated in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and, as the name suggests, is known for its rejuvenating hot springs.
But it’s also a popular area for cabin rentals due to the area’s beautiful and inspiring mountain scenery and access to woodlands and nature. For those who love to get away from the city, it is a treasure trove of woods, forest creatures like deers, creeks and lakes, trails, and of course, all the local National Parks.
Hot Springs’ cabins — especially the secluded ones — tend to cater to romantic getaways, but there are also several options for larger groups and families. The resort city takes its name from the many hot springs it’s home to. It, therefore, offers lots of recreation-focused activities for visitors. The most famous among these is Bathhouse Row.
But in reality, it’s the cabins dotted around the outskirts and mountains (much like in towns like Pigeon Forge) that will attract those looking for a getaway. Here are 13 wonderful secluded cabins in Hot Springs worth checking out.
