There are some nice cabins up near Fisherman's Village. Dirt Rag ran an article about the trail not long ago.
The trails are great! I would not make a special trip this time of year though (unless you are fairly close). It is BRUTALLY hot in the low areas and even higher up on the trails it is pretty rough. The trail is so gorgeous in the fall, you really should hold off, or maybe just make a scout trip now and then the big riding trip in the fall. There is good hiking and fishing in the area also.
That part of AR really is a nice place.
Good Luck
