“Absolutely beautiful scenery, unbelievable value and perfect for ATV riders”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2011

Stayed in one of only 2 cabins on the property, these are one room maybe 12 X 20 but was a fantastic layout for 2 adults and our 3 kids. Bathroom w/ shower, kitchen with sink toaster, mini fridge, coffee pot & microwave, no stove but took crockpot & electric skillet. Main area had double bed, futon & table. Big covered porch with charcoal grill. Beautiful sunsets overlooking mountains and forests. Chose this place because is has direct access to ATV trails. So we could park, unload, unpack and ride. A 40 minute ATV ride through forest trails takes you directly to Wolf Pen Gap. But there are so many trails along the way you could spend days exploring. Robert(owner) was very friendly and helpful. Will be returning soon.

“Backwoods Lodge and Cabins.....Nice!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2009

I really hate to let everyone know about this fabulous place overlooking the Ouachita National Forest....it will be harder for us to get a reservation! Owned by Graydon Clark and run by his son Robert Clark, Backwoods Lodge and Cabins is also Mudchurn Outfitters/Ranch. This place is one of the cleanest, well-kept places I have had the opportunity to stay at. Mr. Clark owns approximately 48 acres in the Ouachita National Forest and along with his son has built one nice 4 bedroom/4 bath lodge called The Lodge. At $250 a night, if you had 3 other couples going with you this spacious lodge is very affordable with plenty of ATV trails to keep you busy for days. The Lodge has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths downstairs along with a good sized kitchen/dining room and a relaxing living with satelite TV. Upstairs are the other 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, each with their own satelite tv's. The Clarks have also built two smaller efficiency cabins complete with kitchenettes, a full bathroom with shower, a double bed and fold out fouton. These cabins are currently 2 years old and very well maintained and stocked with all linens/towels, dishes, microwave, toaster oven, apartment sized refrigerator and small coffee maker. Each cabin is pretty well isolated from each other and cost $75 during the week and $100 on w/ends. Wolf Pen Gap ATV trails are just a 40 minute ATV ride away from this location and very scenic as well. We absolutely recommend this place and will be going back in the near future. If you have any questions, just email me.
