Mather Lodge

A massive stone and log structure, Mather Lodge was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930's. Overlooking the Arkansas River Valley below, this historic but modernized lodge offers 24 guest rooms. The pine walls and ceilings give the rooms a rustic appearance and feel, but with modern conveniences. Each room comes equipped with satellite TV, clock radio, iron and ironing board, and coffee pots. No telephones are available in the rooms, however.

Cabins

Petit Jean State Park offers twenty-one fully equipped cabins; nine are rustic single cabins, eleven are duplex cabins, and one is a honeymoon cabin. All cabins feature fireplaces, all electric kitchens with cooking gear, and are heated and air conditioned year round.

The honeymoon cabin features all amenities of the other cabins, plus a hot tub, satellite TV, and a cedar porch swing. Duplex cabins feature one building with two rentable sides, and an adjoining door in the center wall. Door must be opened from both sides to use.
