Walnut Hideaway
Set along the shoreline of Beaver Lake, Walnut Hideaway offers a distinctive stay designed for travelers seeking both outdoor adventure and quiet retreat. This custom-built shipping container cabin is tucked among the trees, blending modern design with its natural surroundings.
“I’ve always been drawn to unique spaces and getaways,” says owner Haven Nutt. “I liked the idea of a shipping container cabin for its durability, simplicity, and uniqueness, and thought it would be perfect on our wooded property on the lake. I had the most fun designing it.”
The 280-square-foot interior is a compact yet thoughtfully designed space, perfect for couples or a solo traveler. A 400-square-foot covered patio area offers a gas grill and pizza oven combo, and the rooftop deck is complete with a private hot tub.
The cabin is located within Heart Haven, a lakefront retreat and event space nestled within a private peninsula on the lake. Guests have access to on-site hiking trails, stand-up paddleboards and canoes for lake exploration, as well as communal pickleball courts and swimming dock. Optional upgrades range from boat rentals and garden-to-table meals to paddleboard yoga, cooking classes, dockside Pilates, and massage services.
On the Heart Haven property there are several other cabins to choose from if traveling with family or friends. Adding to the remote retreat feel, a pig, goat, dogs, ducks and chickens can all be found on the property, and guests are encouraged to wander to the chicken coop in the mornings to grab fresh, organic free-range eggs.

Modern A-Frame Retreat
Recently completed this year, this fully renovated A-frame near Beaver Lake preserves its cozy, cottage-like character while introducing modern furnishings and updated décor throughout. After purchasing the property, owners Stephen Smith and Chadwick Turner undertook a comprehensive renovation—from the roof and exterior to the interior finishes and landscaping—reimagining the cabin from the ground up.
“We wanted the renovation to feel warm and inviting while staying true to the A-frame’s mid-century charm,” Stephen says.
Inside, large windows flood the interior with natural light, while a floor-to-ceiling fireplace anchors the living space. Outside, guests can unwind in the hot tub, sauna, or cold plunge pool, or gather around the fire pit area after a day of exploring the lake. A fenced-in yard completes the functionality of this pet-friendly property.
“Between the architecture and the outdoor sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge, the home naturally lends itself to the kind of retreat-like escape we set out to create,” Stephen adds. Learn more: modernaframecottage.com
Remotely Rogers
Set on a sprawling 70-acre property, Remotely Rogers is a small A-frame cabin community that offers flexibility for both solo escapes and group getaways, with the option to book a single cabin or reserve multiple stays at once.
Each of the six modern A-frames are highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding forest and fill the space with natural light. Inside, two sleeping areas include an open loft where guests wake up immersed in treetop views. Outside, the property invites exploration with creeks, ponds, and walking paths winding through the wooded landscape.
“The most unique aspect of the property in my opinion is its remote feel without being far from anything, hence the name Remotely Rogers,” said owner Jeff Wolfe. Learn more: remotelyrogers.com
The Treehouse
Nestled within the woods, the Treehouse offers a serene escape that feels both modern and thoughtfully connected to nature. The newly built, two-story home near Beaver Lake was intentionally designed to blend into its forested setting rather than simply sit within it.
“What sets it apart is that it was built from the ground up specifically as a treehouse stay, not a converted structure or a standard short-term rental,” says owner Dustin Williams.
Vaulted pine ceilings, an open layout, and expansive windows bring the outdoors in, while a ladder-access loft and thoughtfully placed deck were designed to enhance the treehouse experience while still offering modern comfort. A hot tub, electric fireplace, fast Wi-Fi, and individual temperature controls ensure the seclusion doesn’t come at the expense of convenience.
Located in the Beaver Shores area, it feels tucked away—yet remains just minutes from Rogers, Bentonville, and Northwest Arkansas’s expansive outdoor recreation.
“The feedback guests mention most is how secluded and private the treehouse feels while still being close to town,” Williams says.
“We wanted the renovation to feel warm and inviting while staying true to the A-frame’s mid-century charm."
