Had a great visit to White Rock - the 47th annual gathering of friends from college days at the Univ. of Arkansas. Amber and crew do a great job of getting the cabins and Lodge clean and ready for occupancy. It's much nicer than it was in the '70's - and the store is very handy. A great rustic getaway with the most incredible views in the state.

Wow. I've stayed at some other Forest Service cabins, but nothing like this one. The cabin is huge and ornate. Gives you those cozy rustic feels. Not to mention a gorgeous view outside your door. The cabin has everything you need to prepare a meal. I was surprised at how well- equipped the kitchen was. Amber, the host, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend!

This was our second time at White Rock Mountain. I cannot tell you how much I love this place. Everyone is the office is so friendly. The accommodations are amazing, the view is unforgettable, and we cannot wait to go back. I highly recommend staying here. I have stayed in Cabin B and Cabin C. I like Cabin B better but Cabin C is great too. Don't forget to check out all the waterfalls when you are in the area!

We enjoyed the cabin and had a great time hiking around the rim and down to the waterfalls. Eating outside was refreshing after a cold winter. We will go back again. The cabin was very clean, and the terrace had an impressive view. We enjoyed the evening roasting marshmallows and drinking wine while the sun was setting.
