The space
Free Early Check in (when available) in Fall/Winter. Relish the solitude and peace you crave, and leave behind everything you need to escape! The entire property is bordered by a privately landlocked tract of Kisatchie at the rear and our private land on all other sides. Our guests adore the coffee station with premium coffees, snacks and bento boxes of breakfast and spa teas for relaxation. The full kitchen includes a 4 burner range and oven with warming zones, bluetooth smart microwave and dishwasher, full sized retro Frigidaire freezer/fridge, ice maker, toaster and blender/chopper with personal smoothie attachments.
You’ll find everything you need for adventure or relaxation including a selection of insulated cups and wine tumblers to enjoy inside at the eat-in bar top or out on the patios. Our furnished porch has a great view into a tract of Kisatchie National Forest that is home to an abundance of wildlife. The cabin and online guidebook include forest guides and maps to acquaint you with access and use of the Kisatchie trails nearby and our private trails that you may also enjoy.
Your television is connected to 5G WiFi via hotspot. A Roku TV on swivel mount offers all of your favorite streaming apps or guest mode with live TV and plenty of free channels. We are amid the National Forest, so speed will not be as fast as you experience in the big city but it is generally serviceable to stream. Per our service provider, we cannot guarantee service speed. Upload speed is slow. We guarantee you won’t want to sit around and watch a screen with the heart of Kisatchie trails right outside your door.
The full bathroom is separated by a sliding barn style door and includes shower/tub and a stacked washer and dryer unit free to use. We include a starter supply of luxury detergent, hand soaps, body wash and shampoo. A luggage rack and small hanging rack for clothing or hang dry items are also on hand.
The cabin is serviced by a brand new split AC unit with integrated heater, wall thermostat and easy instructions in our guide book. Heat and ventilation are also in bathroom. Video on operating thermostat:

You may elect to glamp with your horse on-site and enjoy riding our trails across the road or elsewhere on our 400 acres. We have two RV hookups that can be added at an additional charge per night. These spots can only be added on to the cabin, so you will always have the property to yourself with your registered guests. The entire Kisatchie trail system is also just a short ride away. Horses must have current Coggins and health certificate or proof of vaccination. Please reach out for full information on equine accommodations.

We want to make your stay 5-star and then some, so ask us if there’s anything that would make your stay over the top. We will do our absolute best to deliver.
If we have a same-day turn, we will do our best to get the cabin sanitized in time for an early check-in. We will let you know the day before if it looks like we will be able to accommodate.
Guest access
One locked cabinet under the bar is for owners’ supplies. The rest of the property is yours to enjoy.
Other things to note
FREE Early Check-in during Fall/Winter. Since days are shorter, we will allow you to check in as soon as our Cleaning and Sanitization team is done with your turnover. Message ahead of time so we can confirm same-day availability and timeframe. Your door code will be time-adjusted upon confirmation. We want you to have as much daylight as possible to enjoy your stay. (Please don't show up unannounced)
You will be in the woods but within 10-15 minutes of stores. If you are coming to get away from it all, this is the place!
***Please note that we do Guest Screening and Protection trough Truvi. You will receive a separate text or email after you book to take a photo of your ID and choose either the $35 Damage Waiver or the Deposit option. There is no hold placed with the deposit; that option incurs a $10 fee. Either option protect both parties in case of accidental damage. This is similar to a Guest Service fee with an online travel agency, but the cost is far less. The Damage waiver/deposit fee are NOT charged by Kisatchie Vista. This is done through Truvi.
