136,000 Acres of True Ozark Wilderness
Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin is right on the edge of 136,000 acres of public land.
You'll be hard pressed to find recreational lodging with better access to Ozark Outdoor
Adventure! Lodge yourself and stable your horse at our cabin. Ride or hike on miles of
trails which start right at the cabin. Fish for smallmouth and four species of trout in
the world class White River two miles away. The Ozark Highlands hiking trail is 8 miles
away. Or drive 15 minutes to Norfork Lake for watersports and more fishing. Golf, dining,
shopping, and several area attractions are within a 35 minute drive. If its Ozarks
adventure you seek, you can do it from here with easy, fast access. That's why we call it
Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin.
Great For Honeymoons To Hunting
A broad range of people enjoy Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin. Everyone from
honeymooners to hunters enjoy its forest setting. Honeymooners walk along our quiet
country road enjoying wildflowers, birding, and wildlife watching, and listening to the
large creek with its ledge rock riffles. Hunters enjoy going deep into the forest on foot
or horseback. Fishermen enjoy having great trout and smallmouth bass fishing so close by.
Children enjoy playing with a long list of fascinating objects from rocks to the little
lizards laying in the sun, and hunting for salamanders in the creek. Executives enjoy the
quiet and privacy so far removed from the office phone. During spring and summer you'll
hear song birds by day, and whippoorwills and owls at night.
Cabin Living Room
The Cabin
Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin is a modern, clean, two bedroom full housekeeping cabin that
comfortably sleeps six adults. There is a bathroom with shower, a living room with
satellite TV, and a kitchen with a six place dinette set. The cabin has electric heat and
air conditioning. The living room has a couch and a love seat with two recliners. The
kitchen includes a full size refrigerator with freezer, electric can opener, spice rack,
electric mixer, full size four burner electric range with oven, microwave, drip coffee
maker, electric fish fryer, crock pot, 4-slice toaster, cookware, tableware for six, and
cabinets for grocery storage.
The bedroom off the living room sleeps up to four adults in
two sets of twin bunk beds. The bedroom off the kitchen has one full size bed. The living
room couch is also a sleeper sofa that sleeps two. The bathroom, which is accessible from
the living room, is between the two bedrooms. We furnish bath towels and bed linens.
The front porch overlooks the grass front yard and is where
many guests love to spend their evenings. Sitting outside in the evening is a truly
pleasurable experience. Furniture includes a two-seat coaster and porch chairs. A few feet
away from the cabin is a campfire pit with benches, and a grill for BBQs. Campfire wood is
available free of charge for as little or as much as you care to burn. There is an ice
machine on site for coolers. Thank you for not smoking
inside the cabin. You may smoke on the porch where ash buckets are provided.

Stables &
Riding
While we do not offer horseback riding, you are welcome to bring your own horses and
mules. (Current Coggins required.) Our corral has water, four outside stalls and two
stalls in the covered shed, and a tack room. There is room to park your livestock trailer
two hundred feet from the corral. When you are ready for a day's ride, just saddle up and
head out for any of several trails leading through the National Forest. No need to trailer
your animals to trail heads.
Corral & Pens
Spring House For Game Treatment
Built for our hunting guests, the Spring House is made for dressing and preparing your
game and fish. It has a cement floor, a cleaning table with double stainless sink with
running water, and small game dressing hooks. There are several electrical outlets,
electric heat, and cooling is by cold air blown in from the spring. For large game we have
room to hang two animals in the shed. Freezer space is also available.
Live Bait Box
Spring water continuously flows through a large live bait box at the Spring House for
keeping crayfish and minnows. Bring your own live bait, or catch it in the river and keep
it fresh during your stay.
River and Lake Fishing
There are no closed fishing seasons in Arkansas, so you can fish any day of the
year. The cabin is two miles from the uncrowded Cartney Public Access to the White River.
Rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and some brook trout are the sportfish found in the White
River. Several world line class record trout have been caught in these waters. Trophy
trout of four pounds or more are caught on a regular basis, and a day's catch of 20 to 60
rainbow trout 12 to 18 inches long are common. The world's second largest brown trout ever
caught on tackle was taken a few miles away in the North Fork river where there is also
abundant brook trout.You can bank fish, or fish from a boat.
Because the White and North Fork rivers are tailwater
fisheries, you can also wade fish, but only during periods of low water. If smallmouth
bass are your preferred sportfish, the Buffalo National River holds strong populations of
large smallmouth, and you can also fish for smallmouth in this section of the White River.
The Buffalo is 15 minutes away by boat from the White. Jon Boat rentals are available
right at the cabin, or bring your own. We have room to park your trailer.
Norfork Lake, which is 15 miles away, offers year around
fishing for striped bass, crappie, largemouth, smallmouth, catfish, panfish, white bass,
and walleye. You can rent boats at lake marinas like or bring your own. If you prefer to
fish with a local professional guide, we can arrange guided trips for you on lake or
river.

Hunting
Black bear, whitetail deer, wild turkey, and squirrel are the primary game here.
Arkansas has modern rifle, archery, and muzzleloading seasons. Whether on horseback,
driving, on foot, or on ATV, you'll find many places to hunt in the surrounding 136,000
acres of U.S. Forest Service land in the Sylamore District of the Ozark National Forest.
Hunt from horseback straight from the cabin. We are in the Sylamore (sill-a-more) Wildlife
Management area, zone 620. For complete Arkansas hunting and fishing information, or to
buy licenses online, visit the Arkansas Game and Fish Web site at: http://www.agfc.com/
Eco Attractions
Whether you want a simple drive-up spot to watch wildlife, or really want true
Wilderness, its here. Wildflower walks, birding, and day hikes are all close by. Of the
136,000 acres of public lands near our cabin, 16,956 are in the Leatherwood Wilderness
Area, and another 22,044 are in the Lower Buffalo Wilderness for a total of 39,000 acres
of U.S. Government owned contiguous Wilderness area. Only horseback and foot access are
allowed in the Wilderness areas. Old logging roads and unmarked trails wind all through
these lands. Some of the most impressive Karst geology of the Ozarks can be found in the
Cliffty Canyon Special Interest Botanical Area, which also is inhabited by some 120
species of wildflowers. Cliffty Canyon is in Forest Service lands so you can drive to it
in a four wheel drive vehicle. Clear Ozark spring fed creeks can be found in the bottoms
of several other canyons.
The Ozark Highlands hiking trail winds for 23 miles through
our area with three trail heads on the highway a few miles away. The Sylamo Mountain Bike
Trails, some 30 miles of stacked loop treks through the Ozark terrain far from buildings,
are about 30 minutes away.
Civil Attractions
When you want to come in out of the hills and go to town, its a scenic 35
minute drive to Mountain View, Arkansas. This small town has been a delight to tourists
for many years. Mountain View is known for its live Blue Grass music, top quality art,
antique, and craft shopping, and some good restaurants. The Ozark Folk Center, also
nearby, has 20-plus live demonstrations of Ozark pioneer skills, plus a gift shop,
restaurant, and a live music show theater. Blanchard Springs Caverns is an underground
wonder, but also has swimming and fishing. If watersports are what you want, Norfork Lake
is 15 miles away. Water skiing, tubing, scuba, and just plain cruising the lake are all
possible if you rent a boat from a local marina, or bring your own. Mountain Home,
Arkansas is about 25 minutes away and also offers shopping, dining, golf, and attractions.
Directions
Whether coming from the north or south you'll need to travel on Highway 341 (aka
Push Mountain Road). We will give you directions to Cross Roads Store, which is at the
intersection of Highway 341 and CR 72 in Baxter County, Arkansas. ("CR" stands
for County Road in Baxter County.) Look for our sign at the intersection of 341 and CR 72.
At the store turn onto CR 72, a gravel road, and go 6 tenths of a mile to an intersection.
Go straight, don't turn left. You will now be on CR 114. Go 3/4 mile and you will see
Unlimited Sportsman's Cabin on your left.
