Revisit to the Ranch House

We have stayed at this cabin/property a multitude of visits and it never disappoints. Wonderful clean, well equipped, and perfectly quiet property. I bring my dogs and we do a lot of hiking and bird watching. The caretakers are absolutely special and make your stay the best it can be. Thank you Donna and Ron!

Relaxation in the woods

The property had all of the amenities you could need. The house was very clean and dog friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed hiking on the property and stargazing by the fire. Would highly recommend if you want to stay near Buffalo River.

Recovery & Remembrance

We lost my mom just before Christmas in 2024 & needed to clear our minds and mend our hearts after her passing. She truly loved the Ozarks and this trip was helpful in remembering all of the memories we made with her and in honoring her memory. The host and the cabin were terrific in ensuring the cleanliness, comfort level, peacefulness, safety, and equipment we needed during our stay. Definitely worth it, definitely recommend them, and will definitely stay again in the future!
