The house is amazing and the location is beautiful!!!

This house is big enough for a big family group, however it is dirty.. someone’s left over wine glasses were left on back porch, blankets smell weird, floors do not look clean or the bathrooms. The vibe you get from this house, feels like your staying over at someone’s house that is lived in daily…

About a year before the April 8, 2024 eclipse we started searching for a house in the path of totality. The Scarlata Family Cabin fit our needs perfectly. There is a long deck with a beautiful view of the White River, suitable for star -gazing under clear skies, bird watching, seeing the planes land at Gaston’s resort and just relaxing. Bulls shoals is near-by with boating and hiking. The trout fishing is world class. The house has a very functional kitchen and is well-equipped. There is a comfortable central seating area and a dining room table that easily fits eight. The outdoor gas grill is located conveniently off the kitchen. The water is hot for showers and the beds are comfortable. The lower level is another spot to play games and watch TV. The laundry room is on the main floor. Upstairs there are 4 beds. The only drawback is no bathroom on that level. Otherwise it’s quiet and restful. We found the house clean and welcoming. Hence it was exactly what we wanted.

This was a time for us to get together and relax. That was accomplished by reading on the deck, watching the planes take off and land across the river, bird watching (we even had the pleasure of seeing a bald eagle 😊), playing board games and just being together. The house was clean and had more than enough room for everyone. A few things that i would recommend are having wash cloths on hand, putting in a hand rail on the steps to the front door (those of us with bad knees had a little trouble climbing the steps without some support) and maybe consider updating the front door keypad as it wasn't as easy to use as it should have been, especially in the rain. Overall we had a great time and would definitely come back. The view alone is worth it.

The home was great.Very clean and chic.It accommodated all of my family.All necessary amenities made it feel like home.Great view from deck!Local stores only 15 min away.

This was an early Christmas visit with our grandson and family. The home was perfect for our group and so cozy & comfortable! We plan to stay again sometime next year!

A beautiful home tucked off the road overlooking the White River. The home has a large kitchen and den area perfect for big family gatherings. We held a Thanksgiving reunion in the home. Comfortable beds and accommodations and one of the best views in Northern Arkansas. Highly recommend this property.

We had a large group; 9 adults and 7 children from our family and stayed there for our daughters wedding and for some trout fishing. The house was perfect for our group as the bedrooms, rec area, kitchen, etc were all great for a group our size. The house has a beautiful view of the White River. Everyone had a fantastic time. The only issue of concern we had was with temperature. The outside temp on two of the days of our stay was over 100 F and the main floor a/c unit could not keep up with demand. It was over 80 F at midnight in the three main floor bedrooms making it difficult to sleep. The upstairs & downstairs bedrooms were very comfortable and the main floor bedrooms were comfortable when the hot spell ended and the outside temp was in the 80's. I would have given this property a "5" if it had a better a/c unit on the main floor.
