It was a lovely stay, with easy access to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch for rock climbing, as well as many other local outdoor adventures. I highly recommend!
We came to do some hiking in the Ozarks and simply get away for a bit, and catch up. This cabin is exactly what it appears to be and is super convenient to town and hiking trails. The fire pit was a nice respite in the evenings. Just loved everything about this property.
loved the house and surrounding land. Would have liked a one page description of amenities at the cabin, how to use the TV (available free Chanels), how to contact owner, nearest grocery store, a good swimming hole etc.. It would have also been nice to have a bit of history on the property, like the origin story for that rock tub or pool outside. maybe having a few local maps, like a buffalo river map would also be good.
We had a great time, the two nights were very relaxed and we enjoyed your cabin.
Our party had a real difficult time finding the place , the directions were not clear . Upon finally getting into unit . They found spider webs and dirt on floor . It was so far off the beaten path , they decided not to stay there.
Had a wonderful time at the cabin. Remote location that was very quiet and enjoyable. Would recommend for anyone wanting a place to stay that is away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The property proved a brilliant place to live in solitude for a while, away from people and noisr. Excellent location, well-maintained, with all necessary amenities.
What a treasure: A well-designed, cozy yet open open layout, all the essentials, charming original prints, forest seclusion, a feeling of history, a little stream, wildlife ranging from hawks to skinks⊠We look forward to a future return stay!
Spent four nights here while in town for a dirt bike race, and me and my family really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed, AC worked well and the location was great. Jasper is just down the road for groceries or food, and there are so many hiking trails and amazing waterfalls within a 30 minute drive of the cabin, including Hammerschmidt Falls which is literally just a mile and half down the road.
This cabin is in a great location right between Ponca and Jasper. The host's directions are very helpful. The cabin is comfortable and has big windows to enjoy the natural beauty outside. Plus there is a nice screened in front porch.
The bedroom is upstairs (nice, full-sized steps) with a bathroom and the washer and dryer. The shower upstairs is very small.
There is plenty of room downstairs with a comfortable sofa and another bathroom (with a larger shower). The kitchen has just about anything you need to fix meals. There are not enough spoons and forks for more than one day, but there is a dishwasher.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay and would definitely book this cabin again.
This is a great place. Itâs perfectly situated between Ponca and Jasper and just uphill from Kyleâs Landing. Lots of wildlife! We watched and listened to barred owls from the screened-in porch. Far enough off the highway to feel secluded too.
Needed a place to shut down for awhile and we couldn't have found a better place! Close to The Lost Valley and Smith creek Preserve... yet the cabin is quiet and secluded. It was exactly what we were looking for.
This was the second time that I stayed here. I absolutely love this place! It is tucked away on a private driveway. Very peaceful and quiet. It is close to everything. I just wish I could could stay here longer! Thank you so much
Very nice secluded place to stay. The cabin was clean and cozy. The screened in porch was nice to sit in and drink coffee and watch the deer. Plenty of towels and extra linens and pillows. The bed was comfy as well. We will hopefully stay here again!
I booked this property for my parents and they absolutely loved it. It was well appointed and secluded. Deer grazed in the yard in the mornings. The host was was super easy to contact and helped them navigate the directions. My parents had an incredible time.
We have stayed at many places and we totally would rank this one at the top. Itâs so private and peaceful. Itâs the first time weâve not even wanted to go out and eat. We bought food to cook at the cabin. Absolutely loved it all. And itâs just minutes from Ponca. And we seen deer and all sorts of birds in the yard. Rank this place a 10 outta 10!!
It was a perfect place to spend our honeymoon, so secluded and peaceful. We enjoyed it very much! My bride and I will never forget our first 3 nights together as a married couple at this cabin, so special. God is very kind! The property manager was great to deal with, my bride accidentally left her bridal bouquet hanging behind the door, and we let the owner know, and she had her housekeeper find it so she could get it mailed to us, very nice lady. Thanks for everything!
The cabin is most certainly a cabin in the woods. That is accurate. It is actually a nice location... the road is a 1- way, winding gravel road and the cabin is tucked back into a pretty wooded area. However, the picture of the well kept grounds in front of the cabin is NOT accurate. There were no flowers & it was weedy.
The furniture is old and uncomfortable. The queen bed upstairs is so loud and squeaky that it wakes you up if you even slightly move in your sleep. The mattress is uncomfortable at best. The downstairs daybed has a broken frame; we discovered it by just bumping in to it. We were afraid to even sit on it. The couch & chairs are old & worn. The 2 kitchen chairs are wicker with no cushions. The was just nowhere to sit, relax and be comfortable. The upstairs bathroom where the queen bed is located is super tiny. It contains a washer and you can barely squeeze in to where the toilet is. The shower is so small, you have to turn around with your arms either up in the air or completely down at your side. I couldn't even bend over to shave my legs, there was no room. My husband and I are both of average stature and build. We are not obese, nor are we super thin. Just average.
We had our dogs with us because it was listed as pet friendly. I must say it was not pet conducive. There was no grass because it was a wooded area and since the master bed is upstairs, you have to go down about 20 stairs with your pet before you can take them out. It just needs to be updated.
The pictures and description are all on point. The place was tucked away, beautiful and relaxing. It's a great jumping off point for the many outdoor activities or an excellent hideaway to spend some peaceful hours. Great screened in porch, fire pit, and room to roam.
I was nervous from some of the reviews about finding the location and making the drive down the driveway, but I assure you that the drive is exactly where the owner describes. You just need to look for the street sign with the number. I made it down the driveway just fine in my little Honda Fit with no worries.
This sweet cabin in the woods is so cute and charming. Everything was perfect! The front screened in porch is amazing for sitting and listening to birds sing. We look forward to our next visit.
These was such a perfect place to spend a weekend and it had all the touches of home. Enjoyed having the option to grill or use the fire pit, tons of trees surrounding the property - perfect to throw a hammock up and enjoy the sounds of nature!
I am a retired art and design teacher. This property is part of my grandfather Spencer's Homestead. The land has been in the family for four generations.
I built this cabin as a retreat from my home in Kansas City. I treated it as an art project. The colors are vibrant and warm. The downstairs has windows across the living room and the upstairs was referred to a guest as "like being in a treehouse .' I like to leave the windows open at night and hear the sounds of the forest.
Merlyn's lcabin has a great location. It is very private, no close neighbors and only a quarter of a mile from the state highway 74. Perfectly located 5 miles from Jasper and only a short distance to the Buffalo River.
