About this cabin rental

Tucked high on a serene Ozark hill in Marshall, Arkansas, Happy Hawk is more than a cabin — it’s a hidden sanctuary where time slows down.
Spread across three acres of lush hilltop, this retreat welcomes you with panoramic valley views, whispering winds, and the gentle songs of birds greeting each dawn.

From the large screened porch, sip your morning coffee as the sun rises over the forest canopy — a peaceful start to the day accompanied by the melody of chirping songbirds. In the evening, step onto the spacious deck to witness the sky ignite in shades of orange and violet as the sun sets over the Ozark forest valley. When night falls, the clear, unspoiled sky transforms into a canvas of stars — a stargazer’s dream and a perfect end to your tranquil day.

Every moment here feels calm, connected, and timeless — a place where nature speaks softly, and your soul finally listens.

It is SO quiet and peaceful on the top of the mountain. Be sure to drive a 4WD or capable FWD vehicle, as the driveway up to the lovely cabin is a very steep, rocky road. Beautiful view, gorgeous sunrise, plenty of space to walk doggos, and pin-drop quiet with a blanket of stars overhead at night. If you want solitude, this place is perfect!
