Bethesda Lake Cabins (Mena, Arkansas)
One of our favorite discoveries in 2023 was Bethesda Lake Cabins near Wolf Pen Gap in Mena, Arkansas. There are currently 10 LUXURIOUS cabins with more to come.
Some of the cabins are quite large and are perfect for a trip with family or a friend group!
We went with a large extended family group ages 80 to 1 year and everyone had the BEST time.
The cabins are situated far apart for privacy and nestled in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains. The Bethesda Property is gorgeous and pristinely kept.
There is a stocked spring fed pond on the property with kayaks available for guests as well as a lovely waterfall and swimming hole.
Even though the cabins are not far at all from the town of Mena the land backs up to the Ouachita National Forest which makes it a great place for a retreat or relaxing get away. The cabins even have ride in access to the ATV trails at Wolf Pen Gap.
This is one of the best and most unique places to stay in Arkansas.

Welcome to this hidden gem in Arkansas, Bethesda Lake Resort and Cabins in the Ouachita Mountains near Mena, Arkansas ! These stunning luxury lakeside cabins are the perfect spot to fit a large group with a ton of room to spread out and no amenity left unchecked. There is a private lake with kayaks and paddle boards provided, a private waterfall and swimming hole, and the lake is also stocked for those who love to fish! There are twinkle lights all over the property creating an amazing ambiance and fire pits with Adirondack chairs! Everything was spotless and their beds are INSANELY comfortable! The kitchen is stocked so you can stay in and cook without having to bring all the essentials. You will feel like you are in a whole different world while only being 10 minutes from downtown Mena. You are close to incredible hiking, waterfalls, the Talimena scenic drive (which is famous for its vibrant fall colors) and The Wolf Pen Gap ATV trail. We rented ATVs during our stay and had a BLAST on these trails, can’t even imagine how stunning it would be in the fall. Every cabin also has a hot tub which is a must! The fall colors in this area are STUNNING so now is the perfect time to book your getaway, but it truly has something that would be amazing for every season. If you do visit, make sure to go to The ouachitas one night! They are a brewery AND coffee shop with incredible pizza, and live music. It is such a vibe and the staff and owner are awesome.

If you are a biker you can bike straight from the house onto some of the elite biking trails of Bella Vista. There is also a wonderful hot tub on the ground floor of the A-Frame which is perfect for soaking after a day of biking or sightseeing.
