The Lamberton Cabin is a historic summer cabin at 8 North Mountain in Bella Vista, Arkansas. It is a roughly square single-story wood frame structure with a low-pitch gable roof. The roof is extended to the west by a shed-roofed sleeping porch, and there is an open deck to the east. The roof extends significantly beyond the walls, much of which consist of screened sections (there are no windows). The interior of the cabin, partitioned into living spaces, is further sheltered from the elements by the use of canvas shades. Built c. 1920, this is one a handful of period cabins to survive in Bella Vista, and one of its least-altered. [2]

Bella Vista, Arkansas City in Arkansas, United States

Bella Vista is a city in Benton County, Arkansas, United States. First established in 1917 as a summer resort destination, Bella Vista has evolved and redesigned itself over the succeeding years. Bella Vista became a retirement community in 1965, and, after much contention and a 2006 vote of its property owners, became an incorporated city. Following its official incorporation on January 1, 2007, the new city government took over the police department, fire department, streets, trash removal and other city functions, while the Property Owners Association (POA) retained control of the many amenities available to homeowners and their guests. Amenities include numerous parks, clubhouses with workout areas, swimming pools, six 18 hole golf courses, one nine-hole golf course, seven lakes with fishing and boat docks, a marina, swimming beach, putt putt golf courses and tennis courts, dog park, softball field, and extensive hiking and biking trails.

The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. [1]
