Pickleball Days, Starry Nights | Private Cabin Retreat | Sleeps 20

Hear that thwack echo through the pines? That’s the sound of winter at Madison Arbor—pickleball paddles cutting through crisp air, laughter bouncing off the trees, and everything else finally quieting down. Winter weekends feel intentional out here. Weekdays? Wide open and wonderfully calm. Fewer crowds, darker skies, louder laughs. Spring’s waiting in the wings, but winter is absolutely having its moment.
This is where families actually reconnect (wild concept, we know). Kids vanish into their own adventures, teens resurface for games—eventually—and grown-ups remember what it feels like to breathe deep. Pancakes mix with pine-scented air. The firepit becomes the nightly HQ. Phones fade. Time stretches. Memories stick.
🎾 Play Hard. Chill Harder.
Private pickleball & basketball court – rally loud by day, recover by night
Ninja line & playground – winter energy, properly burned off
Arcade & game room – competitive chaos, zero apologies
Hot tub under the stars – winter’s best seat, hands down
🍳 Eat Big. Gather Easy.
Fully stocked gourmet kitchen for slow mornings and big dinners
Open-concept living & dining made for everyone-at-the-table moments
Outdoor firepit for s’mores, stories, and no alarms set
🌲 Out There (But Not Too Far)
Ouachita National Forest – quiet winter hikes, elite stargazing
Broken Bow Lake – glassy water, uncrowded views
Hochatown wineries & breweries – relaxed tastings, live music, local vibes
💫 Winter Now. Spring Soon.
Winter brings better availability and calmer energy—perfect for a reset. Spring’s right behind it with longer days, greener trails, and that first warm breeze through the pines.
Your move: snag a winter escape while it’s quiet, or lock in spring before everyone else catches on. Either way—nature’s calling.

We loved this cabin!

Booked this property specifically b/c of court & activities available. 4 master bedrooms were nice for older adults being on main floor, didn’t have to navigate steps inside house. Steps into house are a lot for hauling in supplies & Nanna definitely needed help, but was worth the stay. Was nice to have some basic supplies that we didn’t have at previous cabins: trash bags & toilet paper. The court made it totally worth it. Basketball goal is top notch & pickleball court was a lot of fun! Horseshoes Available, but beware: Mardi Gras lights hang too low across the “court” for most adults to play. Didn't deter us from having great time! Trey was very responsive to needs. Cabin close to all the local activities. We’ll be back!

Best Fall Break

Our family enjoyed the house and all the amenities. We were able to ride our ATV's and UTV's from the house into the National forest. The house offered so many great extras that made our stay even better.
