It was as advertised, very secluded and peaceful. I would just make sure you get the directions and check-in procedures saved before you get there as you likely will not have cell service. The host can't help that though and was very helpful once we able to connect. Great overall.

The cabin was tucked away in the perfect spot.. amazing sunsets and view of the stars from the hot tub on the porch. Prob our fav place while we were there. I was, however surprised at the beds… there was only one bed and the description said 2 bedrooms, but overall it was a very nice stay.

Nice secluded cabin

This is the place to be if you want to be surrounded by nature. We only had time for a one night stay. The hot tub was great, and you could see the stars while sitting in it. It was a little crowded for three adults and one teenager - one bed and two couches, but was fine for our quick stay. This would be a great place for a couple wanting to get away!

Beautiful Serene Location

We paid a lot to stay at this cabin for two nights over Memorial Day weekend. When I first walked into the cabin my first impression was this place is way over priced. However, the view and all the windows in the cabin made it worth it! The cabin itself is small and a bit dated but the view and location are incredible!! Overall, I was very happy with the stay! One complaint is that I reached out to the owner of the cabin via VRBO app right after I booked it and never received a response.

Unhappy with several things

There was a major water in the roof of the kitchen , the water in the hot tub was green with cigarette butt in it so we didn’t use it , the coffee pot was dirty , the shower needs more pressure . Spot was beautiful though !

Cabin

We had a great time and really did enjoy the seculsion this property gave us. We have a few short supplies on tolietries and contacted the owner. They quickly responded and brought us more supplies within an hour. You have to make sure and go to the pottery shop down the road at Osage Claworks. The owner was so kind and really did engage our children with pottery demonstrations. Don't forget your hiking maps to the trail locations when you go out because GPS doesn't work :) We really did enjoy the trip and will be back to visit Arkansas again.

Fall Getaway

The host was most accommodating in every way. It was as if the property, which is beautiful, belonged to us. It has long vistas in 360 degrees with abundant wildlife. It is well maintained and being land owners ourselves, takes a lot of work. Absolutely recommend the host and we will return God giving us the chance.

Hot tubbing under the stars

To potential visitors: Imagine being surrounded by rolling hills accented with a spring-fed pond and trees to make super-relaxing breezy sounds... birds chirping during the day, frogs croaking in the distance at night. At night my wife and I enjoyed a hot tub under a clear sky and watched shooting stars while lightning bugs glittered in the darkness above the grass. Too much goodness to write before losing you. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our single night there. To our host: My wife and I probably added three or four months to our lives with that one recharge. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property!

Great for a get away weekend

Overall it was a great experience. The surrounding area was beautiful and the location of the cabin was great. Check in process was easy and the owner was extremely helpful. I thought the overall price was okay, but I did feel like the cabin and the furniture was a little dated. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the area.

Great Host

While we ended up switching from the Ozk Ranch to the Ozk Fly Away Cabin for these dates I would like to leave a thankful review to the Host Mr Hansen. He was very quick to respond to our changes and requests that it really made our trip much more enjoyable. I sure appreciate all the extra help he did to accommodate our family. We were able to enjoy staying at the other cabin for the same dates and that worked out great for our situation, Thank you again! We made some amazing memories in Ponca and the drive was just beautiful!

Enjoyed our stay

We greatly enjoyed our stay and feel everything was as described. The host has you set up for success in most every area. The hot tub was not working during our stay, but we weren’t really planning to use it anyways. While the kitchen was very well stocked there was no dish soap or dish brush. We used the grill every day and had plenty of propane. There was not a second tank as described. We stayed in early/mid April, know that the front bushes homed honey bees and many wasp live in the front rocks. We had no issue with them but good to know they’re right there. We’d welcome a trip back for sure.

Almost exactly what we were looking for

Absolutely beautiful property secluded in the mountains. No cell phone service but the wifi worked great! I downloaded offline maps to help me navigate to the nearest town half an hour away. Only negative I could find was there was only 1 heater and it was a chilly November night outside so I would probably add a second heating unit for the really cold months. Overall I would say 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Beautiful, magical, and peaceful cabin!!!

Really felt the magic of nature at this location on a beautiful hill with surrounding trees and changing autumn leaves, pastel skies at sunset, so many stars at night, and a view of the sunrise. The cabin was super comfy, cozy, clean, and relaxing and we loved the big windows. Our dog loved roaming the big grassy outdoor space!! Truly beautiful and wish we could have stayed longer!
