Material Honesty: No "cookie-cutter" finishes. 🌲

This is a look at The Hideaway during its construction phase. You’re looking at authentic, rough-sawn cedar board and batten siding. We chose a permanent structural roof for the rear deck over a temporary shade cloth because we build for permanence, not just for the season.

We celebrate the weight of the stone and the grain of the wood. When you stay with us, you aren't just in a cabin; you’re inside a craft.

The beauty is in the blueprints. 📐

At Of Stone and Wood, we don't just "decorate" spaces; we engineer them to maximize the experience of the land. Take Solitude: we designed a soaring 17' 10" living area to frame the forest canopy, paired with a nearly 20-foot deck that extends your living room directly into the trees.

Every dimension is a response to the terrain—like the elevated pier system that allows the structure to "float" over a 15% grade.

High-end luxury isn't an accident. It's a calculation.

Hardy, Ark. Great story describing Hardy as one of the 10 most charming towns in Arkansas

These Arkansas historic towns have preserved Main Streets, courthouse lawns, river views, old theaters, museums, and road-trip appeal.

Built to Belong.

Texture, weight, and permanence.

Welcome to Of Stone and Wood. We are a portfolio of Ozark retreats defined by the honesty of our materials and the precision of our engineering.

We believe that a structure shouldn't just sit on the land—it should respect it. From the 15% slope that gave birth to the "floating" perspective of Solitude, to the historic river-stone walls of the Carrie Tucker House, every inch of our properties is intentional.

We’re moving away from the cookie-cutter and toward the grounded. Rough-sawn cedar, Ozark river stone, black metal, and expansive glass.

This is high-end, unplugged luxury. This is the soul of the Ozarks, engineered for stillness.

Follow along as we share the stories behind the structures.

Of Stone and Wood: The Next Chapter of Ashworth Ozark Rentals.

Same Foundation. New Perspective.

For years, we’ve welcomed you to the Ozarks as Ashworth Ozark Rentals. Today, we are evolving.

We are proud to introduce Of Stone and Wood—a portfolio of retreats defined by structural permanence, organic materials, and intentional design.

As a civil engineer, I’ve always believed that a structure should respect the terrain it inhabits. Whether it’s the 17' 10" soaring ceilings of Solitude, the historic masonry of The Carrie Tucker House, or the secluded warmth of The Hideaway, our homes are built to feel grounded and permanent.

We are moving beyond the standard rental experience. We are celebrating the grain of the wood, the weight of the stone, and the "unplugged" luxury that only comes from a building with a soul.

Ashworth Ozark Rentals will continue to be the engine behind our operations, but Of Stone and Wood is our heart.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Welcome to the next chapter.

Coming May 2027: A New Standard of Seclusion.

We are breaking ground on our most ambitious project yet—Solitude. 🌲🪨

Nestled on 45 pristine acres in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, Solitude isn’t just a cabin; it’s a masterclass in organic architecture. Engineered to embrace a dramatic 15% forest slope, the structure sits atop rugged stone-wrapped columns, offering a "treehouse" perspective that blurs the line between modern luxury and the wild Ozarks.

What to expect at Solitude:

The Textures: Rough-sawn cedar board and batten siding paired with deep walnut stains and sleek black metal.

The Design: A unique split-pitch roof designed to frame the forest canopy through expansive glass.

The Experience: Total structural isolation. Whether you’re on the elevated deck in the steaming hot tub or behind the black-metal French doors, you are immersed in nature.

As a civil engineer, I believe a retreat should be as permanent and intentional as the landscape it sits on. We are taking our time to get every stone and every beam exactly right.

📅 Opening May 2027.

Follow us here for "Behind the Build" updates as we transform this hillside into the ultimate escape.
