Escape to your own private corner of the Ozarks at Rising Sun Ranch, a hand-hewn log cabin nestled on 25 secluded acres in the rolling hills of Northwest Arkansas. Here, you'll find the peace and privacy of a true country retreat while remaining just minutes from Bentonville, Crystal Bridges, world-class mountain biking, Beaver Lake, and all the best attractions the region has to offer.

Whether you're looking for a family getaway, a mountain biking basecamp, a romantic retreat, or simply a place to unplug and reconnect with nature, Rising Sun Ranch offers space to breathe, room to explore, and views that make it hard to leave.

The Property

The ranch sits on 25 private acres of pasture, woods, ponds, and gently rolling Ozark countryside. Start your morning with coffee on the wraparound porch as the sun rises over the hills and hummingbirds zip between feeders. Spend the afternoon wandering trails along the edge of the woods, exploring the property's two ponds and seasonal creek, or simply relaxing and taking in the quiet. Note: No motorized vehicles of any kind are permitted anywhere on the property — this includes ATVs, UTVs, golf carts, dirt bikes, and side-by-sides.

Wildlife is one of the property's greatest gifts. Deer are frequent visitors, and bird lovers will enjoy the active bird population, including hummingbirds, great-tailed grackles, and many other native species. As an added bit of country charm, the neighboring property is home to a herd of miniature donkeys that guests often enjoy watching from a distance.

Dogs are especially welcome here. With 25 acres to roam, trails to explore, ponds to investigate, and plenty of open space, many guests find their dogs enjoy the vacation just as much as they do.

As evening settles in, watch the sky turn brilliant shades of orange and pink from the porch, then gather around the fire pit or slip into the hot tub and enjoy the peaceful surroundings beneath the stars.

The Cabin

Built from hand-hewn logs, the cabin blends rustic character with modern comfort. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace create a warm, inviting gathering space that feels both spacious and cozy.

Large windows frame views of the surrounding property and fill the cabin with natural light. Whether you're curled up with a book, sharing a meal with family, or planning your next adventure, the cabin was designed to bring people together.

Kitchen & Dining

The fully equipped chef's kitchen features a professional gas range and everything needed to prepare meals during your stay.

Unlike many vacation rentals, you'll find more than just the basics. The kitchen is stocked with:

Coffee
Spices and seasonings
Cooking oils
Butter
Flour and sugar
Cookware and bakeware
Dishes, utensils, and kitchen essentials

Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast before hitting the trails or cooking a family dinner after a day of exploring Northwest Arkansas, you'll have what you need.
