SummerSong: Getaway Retreat / Vacation & Fishing Cabin in Beaver Lake

Charming, yet rustic, 2BR, 2BA cabin/cottage, lake front, great for families. Centrally located between Fayetteville, AR to the south and Rogers/Bentonville, AR to the north, SummerSong is located 15 minutes from I-540, Exit 78.

How long has it been since you had nothing to do but enjoy family and friends or wake at the crack of dawn, jump in your boat and head for a day of great fishing? Relax and renew at your private cottage/retreat on Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas--just steps from the water of Beaver Lake.

SummerSong is an inviting and relaxing vacation cabin with a strong sense of place. Warm, quiet, comfortably decorated and just steps from the shores of beautiful Beaver Lake nestled high in the Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas, SummerSong provides you all the comforts of home with two
levels of living with a comfortable, right-at-home, yet rustic feel.

Each level has a full living area including bedroom, living room,and bath...perfect for providing some privacy for two couples or families. With spectacular lake views, the open and airy floor plan is an affordable, comfortable, and convenient alternative to a hotel room.

Have kids? They will love it here. From morning til night, from one of two decks, you can watch them swim or walk a few steps to the water and join them in some water fun. You won't be able to get them inside. As a safety note: There is a gradual slope into the water with no drop-offs if wading in. While SummerSong has no boat dock, the gradual slope makes pulling your boat up to
shore a snap.

Just the two of you? Take a moonlight swim, just feet from your bedroom door. Then sit by an outside fire and just allow your mind to go blank as you listen to the croaking frogs and watch the lightning bugs.

If coming with friends, cook, eat, laugh and visit on the deck til the wee hours of the morning while the waves lap the shoreline.

Bring your boat and launch it across the cove at Hickory Creek Marina. In the daytime find a secret fishing spot, then land your boat in front of the house and wait until dark to return and fish to your heart's content.

Brought your fishing tackle? Walk a few feet to the water's edge to catch that bass. Don't have a boat? Visit the marina for all your boating, fishing, and water sport needs. You can also find a convenience store and restaurant there. You can arrange with local striper guides to pick you up by boat in front of the house.

Just want to rest? During the day wave at passing boats while catching some sun on the deck or relaxing in your hammock or yard swing. Enjoy a good book in between naps. Walk the shoreline and collect shells and look at the beautiful rock formations.

Equally beautiful in spring, fall, and winter, SummerSong is a perfect vacation getaway or personal retreat--no matter what time of year.

Come back to the cabin in the heat of the day for a rest and head out again for wonderful fishing at dusk and dark. Hickory Creek Marina, just across the cove, has all the fishing tackle and extra bait you will need, and you can gas up there with ease.

Swimming: With the lake only steps away, swimming couldn't be finer. There is a gradual slope into the water with no drop-offs if wading out. The water is clear with a summer temp of 84. Twilight swimming is a must in the summer.

Boating: If you love to pull the kids on the tube, this is the place. The cove in front of the cabin is a perfect place for tubing. Away from the main channel of the lake, yet large enough for some long runs and lots of turns to churn up the waves, the cove is ideal for tubing. Close enough to the cabin, friends and family can watch the fun from their seats on the shore. Or you can take a day trip up to the Dam and back while sight-seeing on Beaver Lake.

Kayaking: Scoot on into the water and enjoy the view of the lake from your kayak.

Walking: No matter the season, the shoreline of Beaver Lake provides an array of scenery for walking. Inspiring Beaver Lake bluffs are just steps away with many natural limestone formations for quietly sitting, observing the lake, and re-creating yourself.

Onsite Equipment: Cooler, picnic basket, binoculars

SummerSong is the perfect location for balance. Mornings and evenings may be spent in quiet activities, while the days are filled with a variety of activities.

Grab your pole and walk a few steps to the water for some of the area's best fishing.

Walk around some of the 450 miles of Beaver Lake shoreline and take in the natural beauty of limestone bluffs, natural caves, and mountain views. A wide variety of trees and flowering shrubs offer many hours of enjoyment throughout the year. In the fall, the Ozarks are unmatched for their natural fall colors of orange, yellow, and red. In winter, the landscape opens up for seeing
sights hidden by summer's foliage.

Boating, swimming, camping, picnicking, scuba diving, water skiing and tubing, spelunking and sightseeing are just a few of the recreational opportunities available at or near Beaver lake. Anchor your boat in front of the house and watch the sunset from the water. You might even choose to spend the night on your boat, being rocked by the gentle waves of the lake. Who knows what you
might experience!
