The trophy lodge was designed as an open gathering space and features vaulted ceilings, polished concrete floors, wood finishes, a mezzanine overlooking the main room, a large stone fireplace, and a second-floor bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Mount Nebo State Park. The lodge houses an extensive collection of North American and African taxidermy that conveys with the property, including elephant, giraffe, hippopotamus, cape buffalo, leopard, polar bear, grizzly bear, crocodile, hyena, alligator, moose, bison, elk, mountain goat, mountain lion, and numerous additional mounts collected over a lifetime. Whether entertaining family and friends or hosting clients and guests, the lodge offers a setting that is difficult to replicate.

Just steps away, the two-story guest cabin provides a comfortable retreat of its own. The cabin features two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, a main-level living room, an upstairs living room, an attached garage, and a wraparound porch designed to take full advantage of the surrounding scenery. Large picture windows fill the living spaces with natural light while framing unobstructed views of Mount Nebo and the Arkansas River Valley, making the landscape a focal point from both inside and out.

A staircase leads from the cabin down the bluff to scenic rock outcroppings overlooking the valley below. Whether enjoying a quiet morning on the porch as the sun rises over Mount Nebo or spending an evening around the fireplace after a day outdoors, the property offers a setting that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the mountain.

For aviation enthusiasts, the property is located directly adjacent to John Harris Field Airport, a half-mile grass airstrip atop Spring Mountain that provides convenient fly-in access for owners and guests.

An additional opportunity exists for buyers seeking more than the lodge itself. The property is part of the larger 1,570+ acre Spring Mountain land portfolio, with additional adjoining acreage also available for purchase. The surrounding land includes managed timber, mountain scenery, and quality habitat supporting healthy populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear, allowing a buyer to combine the lodge with a substantial recreational landholding if desired.

Whether envisioned as a private mountain retreat, a corporate getaway, a luxury short-term rental, or the headquarters for a larger recreational property, Spring Mountain Trophy Lodge & Cabin offers a combination of improvements, scenery, and flexibility that is rarely available. The property is offered fully furnished, and the entire taxidermy collection conveys with the sale, creating a truly turnkey mountain retreat.
