Very clean, comfy beds, all the things you need, great location - close to lots of hiking and floating. Very basic accommodations but we didn’t need anything more than that. Would stay again!

Gorgeous escape from the speed of regular life

This cabin is just peaceful. It's very well maintained, house decor is circa the 90's and gives the nostalgic feeling of home. The surrounding area is GORGEOUS. The Buffalo River is an amazing float, and the cows across the street offer a peaceful pastoral view from the front porch. There is no cell phone service, but with the quite and wifi it is not missed.

Property was great, we saw elk and floated the Buffalo River with BOC. Found a coffee pot but only a Keurig style coffee maker, 30 minute drive minimum to find food or groceries.

Wonderful location. Close to many main hiking trails and waterfalls. We have had bad experiences at rentals but this one was great! Very clean which is important to me. The view was amazing! Elk in the evenings across the street and cows in the morning. Tips for future renters: bring binoculars and a good camera if wanting to get elk pictures. My iPhone couldn’t handle zooming in far enough. Bring cards and board games if wanting entertainment besides tv. Great place and would stay again!!

Fantastic Getaway

Our host was great and helped us with a late checkin. We loved how the older character of the house was preserved and updated with new furnishings to tie everything together. The location was close to everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit again!!

Great short stay

We picked this location to be near the Buffalo river. This is a good spot to venture out and see many sites. We could even see elk from the porch. It is very clean and was great for us.

Perfect Getaway

We had a nice stay. Our adult daughters were able to join us for most of our stay. We loved the semi secluded location nestled in a valley at the base of the mountains it was just far enough off the main road to offer privacy but close to town, with the river and several hiking trails just minutes away. The property was beautiful and was fun to explore. The house itself was clean and had a cozy home feel

Perfect Elk Viewing location

The entire property was very clean and the house was filled with everything needed for your stay. It is right across the highway from a great field to be able to see elk and just right up the road from some other great places to visit unfortunately the entire community lost power The night that we stayed so we had to cut our stay short, but we will be back because of the cleanliness and the great location. Definitely recommend!
