GREAT PLACE !!
We arrived Sunday afternoon and fell in love immediately. We could see a welcoming light on through the window as we entered the driveway... the door was open and the key on the table just as we had been informed it would be. Monday morning we awoke to a chill in the air and built a cozy fire in the beautiful fireplace...and in front of that fire is where we took our morning coffee!! The cabin was well "appointed" and we lacked for nothing!
We took several trips in to Heber Springs and on one of those days we fished Greer's Ferry Lake... not even a nibble. One day we fished off the dock at the cabin and again no nibbles!! But the fun was in the trying and I know now I should have talked to David and found out how you catch those trout off of their dock!!
We rode up to Mountain View and stopped at every antique/flea market we saw and even brought some of that "stuff" home with us!! To make it short we had an awesome time and when it was time to leave my two sisters had to pry my hands off of the door frame and carry me kicking and screaming "I don't want to go" to the car!! (LOL) If you are considering "Camp David" you will not be disappointed!

Owner's Response: I am delighted that you and your sisters enjoyed your "rivertime". Yes, you should have asked about fishing for trout off the "Camp David" dock! Next trip I will let you in on the secret to success and chances are you will catch your limit of beautiful rainbow and brown trout.

One of the Best Vacations Ever
We stayed at Camp David during the spring months. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We were able to bring our 11 year old golden retriever who is a river dog. We brought our own food and had no reason to leave the great cabin and property. We were very impressed with the wood floors throughout, which if you have allergies, you know how carpet can make a trip miserable. The cabin had everything we needed plus other amenities such as wifi and cable which we didn't have to have, but it was a plus. David was great in giving us a few fishing tips and we actually caught some rainbows right from the pier. We enjoyed the outside seating areas and also the screened in porch which was great for the thunderstorms we endured the first night. We were able to take a stroll down the main road for morning walks. Everything about this place was peaceful. We highly recommend staying at Camp David if you want to see God's beautiful scenery and have some peace and quiet.

Owner's Response: Spring is a great season to spend some time at the river. Now that I think about it Summer is awesome too when the cool breezes come off the cold river provide a repreive grom the heat. Fall is fantastic when the trees change colors and the migrating waterfowl arrive. Winter is my favorite time with the smell of the wood and the warmth of the cabins beautiful floor to ceiling fireplace. Mmmmm anytime is a good time for some river time. Hurry back and thanks for your kind review.

A Relaxing Place to Stay
This place exceeded my expectations, which were already high after reading other reviews. My husband and I spent the weekend celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, and it was a wonderful, relaxing place to celebrate it. The place was very clean and furnished with everything you would need.
Our favorite feature of the cabin was the giant woodburning fireplace, and we kept a fire going the entire time we were there. We also sat on the deck by the river to watch the fish jump and listen to the sounds of the rushing current. We read books and watched movies in front of the fire.
Heber Springs is a short drive, and Searcy is also close, so you have options for restaurants, if you want to eat out.
David was very responsive to any questions I asked before the trip, and he even sent an email while we were there to make sure we didn't have any problems.
My husband remarked that this cabin had everything he would want in a dream home: a large fireplace, a view and access to water, a large screened porch, a nice loft bedroom, and a great atmosphere.
We hope to be back soon!!

Owner's Response: We are delighted you enjoyed the cabin and experiened the fireplace. Thank you for your kind comments. Please plan your return visit in the Spring when the flowers bloom and the humingbirds return. Spring fishing is incredible on the Little Red River.

Snow!!
We were suppose to arrive on Christmas day, flying in from Houston, but all the afternoon flights were cancelled and rescheduled for the 27th.
We rented a 4 door sedan & got stuck in David's neighbors driveway after passing his house. Then we couldn't find the driveway to the cabin because everything was covered in snow. In attempting to get in the drive we got stuck again. We called David on his cell phone & he was awesome in giving in town directions and money to buy a shovel, then called is neighbors to see if they were home to help us out. I don't think my husband has ever shoveled snow :)
The property is beautiful inside & out. We had a fire in the fireplace every night. I built 2 sad looking snowmen because I am so out of snow practice. There were so many birds in the back yard and we saw 6 geese in the lake. We have been back home 1 night and I'm wishing we could go back. I don't think I have ever slept so good.
Thank you David, for your hospitality, for sharing your home, and for being available & accommodating.

Dreamy
For the second time during the fall season, we had a quiet cabin stay with our little chihuahua. We lodge for the week, so it feels like staying as guests at a friend's home while they are away. On long vacations, it's always great to have your own washer and dryer, satellite, and wireless on top of a generously equipped kitchen (with a number of emergency pantry extras). The bed is surprising comfortable on my achy back, has plenty of big and fluffy pillows, and the softest velvety sheets.
We come for the solitude, fishing, and that fieldstone fireplace that runs up to the ceiling. It has a construction that just fascinates me. With a collection of simple entertainment choices, this time we even played some Scrabble. If the electricity were to go out, there would be plenty of intellectual entertainment like a variety of word games, books on identifying birds, Indigenous tribal history, fishing, and a number of fictional novels. With so many extras, if you came with nothing, you could survive a little while — but don't do that. We arrive heavily packed with a choice of our own conveniences to last the week, plus emergency rations just in case. Too bad we can't get snowed in with a blizzard!
During our visits we have seen (and heard) flocks of geese, cranes, birds of prey down at the river, and various finches and so many cardinals at the bird feeder. Possibly a squirrel tore down part of the suet feeder at the back porch when it ran out. Once there was an elk or moose bellowing about something. Also, we have seen some kind of mink running around, and down on the river bank, tracks for a herd of deer. Downstream we saw a fly fisherman get lucky while for us, so far, cast fishing has brought in small trout and a large catfish.
Last time a torrential rain cut off access to our fishing equipment left out at the pier overnight. The river rose well above the walkway, so if you want to take it back with you, better watch the weather.
Clean, cozy and very accommodating. Thanks for sharing. The only bad part is having to leave and head back to reality.

Owner's Response: It feels like you are at a friends cabin because you are. You are officially a friend of "Camp David". The winter months are a wonderful time to visit and enjoy the wildlife. On the rare occasions snow is in the forecast we head up to the cabin hoping to get snowed in ourselves. Hurry back and thanks for posting such a nice review. ~David

Great Relaxing Cabin!
My husband and I had a great time here. Our dog loved it too! Right on the water in a secluded area. Very relaxing and the fireplace was wonderful at night!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. Winter is a beautiful time of the year to enjoy the cabin. The fireplace is mesmerizing and beacons you to cozy up in the cabin. However, the Trumpeter Swans annual visit to nearby Magnus Lake are a magnificent sight (only minutes from the cabin). This unique opportunity will lure you out to see, hear & feed them over and over again. They are the largest bird native to North America and listening to their trumpet like calls reminds me of an orchestra tuning up. Just awesome.

Very Nice Cabin
Cabin was really nice and picture perfect. We only stayed two days but plan to come back. Screened porch, fishing pier, front porch were great. Caught and released rainbow trout from the pier which was really nice.
Owner's Response: We are glad you enjoyed you time at the cabin & that you plan to return soon. The next few months provide a wonderful time to be at the river. The Trumpeter Swans will be making their annual visit along with a myriad of migrating waterfowl along with the bald eagles. The fishing is great and there is nothing like relaxing by the beautiful fireplace in the cabin on a cold night. Hurry back!

Perfect Spot to RELAX!!!
This place exceeded my expectations again and again! The cabin was soooo clean and it was stocked with everything we needed. Every morning was spent on the deck with a cup of coffee and a good book. In the evenings we fished, grilled out and made smores with the kids. The highlight of our trip was cliff jumping into Greers Ferry Lake at Dam Site Park...we had so much fun! But the cabin was a perfect, QUIET getaway from our very busy lives! We're thinking of returning in the fall/winter when we can use that gorgeous fireplace. :)
Owner's Response: Thank you for posting a review for "Camp David". The fall is one of the best times to enjoy the river and the wonderful fireplace. Lots of migrating waterfowl use the river and the fishing is often at its best. We hope you will make a return vist. ~ David
