Great Place!
This tiny home was exactly what we were looking for! It was secluded but close enough for the trails and the river. We ate every meal at the tiny home the kitchen was well stocked. We loved the fire pit and was able to see every star! It was an amazing trip and we will definitely be back!

Place was okay except for…
It was ok, problems…couldn’t access network tv stations & there were no instructions. Kitchen faucet leaking badly, front door handle ready to fall off& hardly any wood for fire pit. No way to contact owner since I didn’t have my VRBO password. Very frustrating. Tried to change password & code wouldn’t work. Will never book with VRBO AGAIN.

Buffalo Trip Made Historical
This property is the best place in the area hands down ! For the amazing place and do many amenities, it's just a steal of a view ! Me andy friends have been up here twice in the last 2 years and plan to do so again soon and we love it ! The owner really communicates to you on time and helps you out with whatever, we needed an extra grill to cookout and he brought it out no problem ! If you want a nice quiet place in the mountains this is the place

Glamping in Compton
The property was up a short very steep hill from the road but we had no issues climbing it in our truck. For our stay it was very windy but the cabin was tight and had electric heaters to keep warm. The view was fantastic at night to see the stars and no one bothered us. Overall it was exactly what we were looking for but the nearest town to get supplies was 20 miles away. Be sure to bring what you need with you as the other options nearby were more expensive

Perfect Getaway
The house was very easy to get to and felt secluded. The property was beautiful and we even had saw some horses in the neighboring field. The house was decorated very well and was spotless when we got there. Check-in and check-out was very simple. Many great trails nearby. This cabin is much preferable to any of the campgrounds nearby. Great stay, highly recommend!

We came for a two day valentines getaway. There were valentines mugs and candy waiting for us upon our arrival. It made a believer out of my wife and I for the tiny cabin life on our getaways. It was exactly what we needed in a warm home, cozy fire pit and being so close to everything hiking, canoeing and more that we wanted. Thanj you so much for having this place and I hope to be back again with our kids one day!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this tiny cabin! The location is very conveniently located to all our favorite hikes! It was clean and has everything we needed. We had an issue getting warm water and pressure in the shower, but as soon as I messaged the owner about it, he promptly responded with a solution. Our kids loooved sleeping in the lofts. Because of rain we only got to have a fire one night, but it was a great setup for it. We would love to go back when the skies are clear so we can see the stars from this amazing property!

This was the best spot we could have had for our girls weekend of hiking! The place was spotless and had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor spaces and the view was spectacular, especially the sunrises. So many trailheads within a 2-10 minute drive! It’s definitely tiny and perfect for 2 or a family with a couple of kids. We’ll definitely use this spot again for another weekend of adventuring in the Ozarks!

It was a peaceful place. Getting in and out of the bed was difficult. The hand towel was looked dirty. The pillows on the couch need to be restuffed or thrown away. The outdoor sitting was very relaxing.

Great for a quiet weekend getaway!
The stay here was amazing. I’ve been to this area before but I have never stayed. We will definitely be back! The scenery was beautiful, we even had deer come visit. This spot was very peaceful and was exactly what we needed for a long weekend. The stars were impeccable. I only have a couple of negatives and they are very minor and have nothing to do with the host. The address provided will not take you to the tiny house. If you book this place make sure you screenshot the directions BEFORE starting your trip. Our cell service was spotty and the VRBO app wouldn’t let me open the driving directions so it took us awhile to find it bc our gps took us way down a dirt road. The county is a dry county and so we’re most of the counties we drove through. Make sure you bring any alcohol you may want with you or you can take a short drive to Harrison. The stars were absolutely beautiful. My only negative about the house were the solar powered lights. I wish there would have been a way to turn them off so we could stargaze better. Next time we come we are bringing an air mattress so we can lay outside and watch the stars better!

Great Little Cabin with Big View
We had a wonderful 4-night stay in this little cabin on a hill. The view was awesome around the fire pit. The cabin had all basic amenities and the Wifi worked great. Our hikes included Whitaker Point/Hawksbill Crag, Magnolia Falls (we learned of this one from the guest book - highly recommend!) and of course Lost Valley including the Eden Falls cave. We waited out the Buffalo River and hit it at the perfect level of 3.5' and paddled Ponca to Kyle's Landing stopping at Hemmed In Hollow along the way. Perfect week, perfect host!

Tiny & FUN!
This cabin is tiny but so much fun! Beautiful views. Clean and neat. Having two TV’s was nice! It rained and snowed while we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy the exterior like we wanted but the setup was super nice. The pictures are spot on! We drove 5 mins to Ponca and got to see elk! Tons of hiking trails within 5-10 mins of there and only 30 mins from Harrison. Would definitely go again!

Comfortable, scenic stay for a family of seven!
We stayed at the tiny cabin as an overnight on our trip from mid-Missouri to Lake Ouachita, AR. We arrived after dark but it was easy to find with the directions provided (the driveway entrance is STEEP and we scraped the tow-bar on our minivan a bit, but the driveway was fine once we got past that). The cabin was cozy, well lit, comfortably cooled, clean, nicely furnished, with lots of clever space-efficient details and thoughtful amenities. We enjoyed reading about the history of the property and family farm in the informational binder. The cabin really did fit our family of seven (two adults in the main floor bedroom, along with a baby in a pack-n-play on the floor, and kids ages 12, 9, 8, 6 in the two lofts). We slept well and enjoyed the breathtakingly beautiful, peaceful scenery with our breakfast at the outdoor picnic table. The host was very quick to respond to my questions ahead of time, and very kindly left a bundle of firewood for us by the firepit (which we were sadly not able to use, due to our later arrival). We would love to stay again on a future adventure!

Labor Day Getaway
My husband and I chose this cabin to get away from the heat and the city while we celebrated his 30th birthday over Labor Day weekend. It was wonderful! We spent most of our time grilling, chilling, or swimming down in Ponca (an easy drive, plus they have a nice little general store for necessities). We loved how family friendly the area is! In Oklahoma, our river areas tend to be quite raucous, we were pleased to see that was not the case here. The location of the cabin is perfect for summer because of the breeze and wide open sky for stargazing. Would love to visit during the Perseids! The view is amazing and the amenities were ample for such a tiny building. We are so happy with our stay and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to relax in the country!

This is a very unique "tiny cabin". It's actually a lot bigger than it looks from outside. When you stay at this perfect country cabin, be sure to read the story from how the "tiny cabin" came to be. Very Neat! Our favorite thing was sitting outside around the fire pit and watching the thousands of lightning bugs and numerous bullfrogs from the pond 100 yds. away. Great location as pretty much close to anything you wanted to do. Great view overlooking the river valley.
