About this cabin rental

Welcome to Fern Rock Mountain Retreat
Nestled on 16 acres of serene woodland, Fern Rock Mountain Retreat offers a true back-to-nature escape in the heart of the mountains. Please note, due to the steep driveways, 4-wheel drive is recommended for your visit.

The Lodge
Our 2,200 sq ft rustic yet elegant log home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests across four private bedrooms. With custom features inside and out, it’s the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The property includes a fire pit, a walking trail leading to a spring-fed pond, outdoor games, and a spacious covered porch with rocking chairs—ideal for soaking in mountain views. For a special retreat, enjoy the freestanding 320 sq ft screened porch, which overlooks the mountains and provides a peaceful space for dining, relaxing, or even sleeping on warm nights.

A Stay for Every Season
Fern Rock is the perfect getaway no matter the time of year. Picture yourself:
- Relaxing in a hammock on a lazy summer afternoon
- Hiking through vibrant fall foliage
- Enjoying a hot tub soak after a day in the snow
- Planning a springtime picnic surrounded by nature

Whether it’s a romantic retreat or quality time with family and friends, this lodge is the perfect backdrop for your mountain adventure.

The Lodge Details
Built from antique logs with hardwood floors and chestnut cabinetry, the lodge feels spacious yet cozy. The main floor welcomes you with an open-concept living area, including a fully equipped kitchen, dining table for 8, island seating, and a charming breakfast nook. The family room offers plenty of seating to relax, while the first-floor queen bedroom provides easy access. Also on the first floor, you'll find a full bathroom and laundry facilities.

Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer plenty of space for rest and relaxation, including the main king bedroom, a queen bedroom with TV, and a kids' room with bunk beds and a futon. A second full bathroom features an antique clawfoot tub and stand-up shower.

Sleeping Arrangements
- Main Bedroom (2nd floor): 1 king bed
- Queen Bedroom (2nd floor): 1 queen bed, TV (no cable)
- Kids’ Bedroom (2nd floor): 2 bunk beds (4 twin beds) + 1 full bed (futon)

The Treetop Porch
Our 320 sq ft screened porch is perfect for gathering, dining, or simply unwinding with a book, while “The Perch” attached deck offers breathtaking mountain views.

The Location
Part of the charm of Fern Rock is its secluded mountain setting. We're located off the scenic Rattler (209), which winds along Spring Creek and leads to Hot Springs (30 minutes away). We recommend stocking up on supplies before arriving to fully relax and enjoy the peace of the retreat.

We do our best to provide all the essentials to make your stay as comfortable as possible, and we’re just a phone call away if you need anything. Our local contacts in Hot Springs are also available for support if needed.

    Previous tenant trash left on back deck for me to move to trash can. Some items e.g. toilet not cleaned well. Aircon thermostat at bottom of stairs near kitchen was off so could not use aircon. Was uncomfortable at times, especially for th0se sleeping upstairs.

    The listing says it all about the solitude and beauty around the property. I found the property to have all of the creature comforts while at the same time being remote and quiet. We had a wonderful family time with all of the comforts of home. The porch around the house coupled with the outdoor screen room and overlook made for some fantastic times outside. In addition the fire pit made for some great family and s’more time. Highly recommend this property. Wes & Leah are great to work with.

    Family weekend to memorialize lost relative
    This house was the answer to pet prayers. Came up to Hiot Springs to memorialize a family member so we were ready for an emotionally hard weekend but the house and the amenities allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves and the beauty of the property. Great memories made!! Plan on returning in fall to watch the leaves change!!

    WONDERFUL long weekend in the mountains! The property was very well maintained and the house itself was very clean and welcoming. Easy access to town and great hiking trails and kayaking areas. There were 4 adults on this trip, all very active and lovers of the outdoors, and we will definitely be coming back to this property.

    This place was amazing! The views were spectacular and we enjoyed just being secluded in the mountains for a weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked which was great because we packed everything up and just cooked in the whole time. The place was very clean. Just be prepared to drive up a mountain for 30 minutes. I get very carsick so that was probably the worst part. I would suggest making sure you have all of your groceries before you get there that way your not having to come back down. We can’t wait to stay here again!

    Wonderful cabin!
    Our family so enjoyed our visit to Feen Rock! It was the perfect place to get away and relax. We especially enjoyed the treehouse and attached porch. We ate dinner out there more than once. The house is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools and appliances needed also. We will definitely visit again!

    Fern Rock is lovely! Such attention to detail and what a beautiful setting. My son recently graduated from college and our family extended the celebration to Fern Rock. We spent our days hanging out at the property, hiking the Appalachian Trail, river rafting, and exploring nearby Hot Springs. Wish we could have stayed longer!
