Cottage located in the Heart of the Ozark Mountains close to floating and hiking

This lovely spacious cottage is located between Harrison and Jasper near the Ozark National Forest.
Swimming and floating are a short distance away at the Buffalo National River along with numerous hiking trails in the area to explore.
The cottage is spacious and has a large covered patio and an adjacent firepit to lounge around and enjoy the sunset over Gaither mountain. Located in a fantastic area for motorcyclists and has excellent dark skies for the star gazers!
The location is country but has local restaurants nearby and a short distance to the services of Harrison.
The excitement of Branson MO is 45 minutes away, making it an easy day trip as well.

Softball Tournament

We were in town for the State Softball tournament. We wanted a place that was close but also quiet. This was the best of both worlds. When we are back this way we will definitely be staying again. Billie was wonderful!!!! Thanks again for the stay!

Cute and clean cottage

We stayed for one night while we explored the Buffalo River area. The cottage was extremely clean and updated with everything you could need. The fireflies and bright stars at night made this stay so magical and relaxing, highly recommend!

We would stay here again!

Location was 45 +/- minutes from Branson. It was easy to get to eventhough it was a bit of a hike. Since it is pet friendly we had pet hair on our clothes/ belongings. However, this did not subtract from the overrall cleanliness. We would stay here again!

Wonderful Property.

The cottage was spacious, clean, well equipped and very peaceful. It’s a beautiful, about 30 minute drive, to Ponca where many of the trailheads are and about 20 minutes to Jasper. The value for cost is excellent as it can sleep up to 6 people. I’d highly recommend!

Location was wonderful. Just far enough outside the city to be quiet and safe for children to run around, but close enough to be in the city in a few minutes. Good communication from host made finding the place much easier than Google Maps tried to make it.

Cutest little farm house in Arkansas

Clean and modernized farm house. Located in a quiet farm area. Had everything we needed. Billie thought of everything for us. We loved our stay. We especially enjoyed the quiet nights on the porch. The location was perfect to see the surrounding sites.

Father and son hiking/fishing trip

The property was better than the pictures even show! Super clean…everything looks like it’s a new property. The location was perfect…quiet and beautiful scenery, but central to hiking and fishing. Can be at a restaurant within 15-20 minutes. The host was also super…responded within minutes to any questions, and super helpful navigating the area since I’d never been in the area. Will definitely stay here again

Very Nice Cottage

Very nice cottage located on a family farm, it was a comfortable place to relax. Only 15 minute drive from Harrison but far enough away from the city lights to see the stars on a clear night. We were only there to visit family for Thanksgiving. But it is a great location if you want to go on the Buffalo River, go to Eureka Springs or Branson. We really enjoyed our stay. 🙂

Wonderful stay!!

What a great getaway! We booked this adorable cottage as a place to stay after day hiking along the Buffalo River. It was an easy drive to local trailheads. This might have been the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. And I love the decorating style. It was the prefect end to our day to relax in total comfort or sit around the fire. Thank you for sharing this gem of a property. We are already making plans for next year and staying at this property is totally part of our plans.
