We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin! The area is peaceful and scenic—perfect for a relaxing family getaway. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. I accidentally left something behind after we checked out, and the host went above and beyond to help—locating it quickly and even mailing it back to me. Excellent communication and hospitality. We would absolutely recommend this cabin and hope to stay again in the future!

Great cabin in the woods

This cabin was a great size for our family (4 adults + 3 children) and we were completely isolated in the woods near the Buffalo and numerous hiking trails. We spent one day exploring some of the many waterfalls in the area and of course hiked to Hawksbill Crag for sunrise. The cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed for the weekend.

Secluded Getaway

We absolutely loved staying here and it was truly quiet and you felt alone in the woods. Many places in the area are exposed to road noise, traffic, and close neighbors but this cabin is the perfect getaway from all of that while still being close to all the Buffalo river has to offer. You can really tell Dianne cares about her property and guests as the house was fully stocked with everything you could need for the weekend (chairs, lighters, grill, olive oil, pots, pans, and more!). We will definitely be back!

Waterfall Chasing

We have been lodging at the Buffalo for the past 20 years. I am rating this cabin as EXCELLENT. It was very quite. I know a lot of the cabins sit on the highway and this sits down off the highway Location is excellent to hike the Ponca/Boxley/Compton area. It is clean, new, and has all the amenities you need. Nice to have access to a washing machine and dryer as well as stocked with plenty of paper products fire wood for the fire pit etc that you typically have to bring along! This would be my top choice for a recommendation on the Buffalo to hike or float or hang out!

Great cabin

We stayed at the Mama Bear cabin for a week while visiting family in Harrison Arkansas. The cabin is just as described in the listing and was very nice. It was well stocked with everyday items. A few things should be noted about the driveway. We rented a minivan for the week and would NOT recommend this if planning to stay here. It is very steep and has loose rocks. Four wheel drive is necessary if it has rained at all. The only other negative thing is we lost power the morning we were leaving. This is of course not any body’s fault but having some emergency flash lights would have been nice since it was pitch black and we were trying to pack up and clean. Overall we had a great stay here and would recommend it to a friend!!
