Buffalo River Tiny Cabin

The Buffalo River Tiny Cabin is the Buffalo River oasis you've been looking for!

This cabin provides the best of both worlds - the feeling of a true getaway combined with real convenience. The space has all the amenities you could want along with beautiful finishes!

Tucked in the woods less than 5 minutes from Grinder's Ferry & Tyler Bend on the Buffalo River, but just 1/2 mile off Hwy 65. Two canoe and kayak outfitters are located less than a mile away, and many restaurants are conveniently located along Highway 65 and in nearby Gilbert.

Sit on the porch and drink coffee while watching the birds, adventure out to hike the numerous trails at Tyler Bend (located 7 minutes away), or plan a float trip and float the gorgeous Buffalo River with a post-float commute back to the cabin that cannot be beat.

Wonderful little getaway

My fiancée and I always like to go to the buffalo, I and my family are from the buffalo river area but have moved away for awhile so i was looking for a quiet getaway in the woods and happened along this little cabin.It's a perfect little cabin for two people that is in a perfect remote spot right near the river and between two small towns if you need supplies. It is clear that the owners put their heart into this place and have done everything you can to make it wecoming and cozy. The cabin is well insulated and well built and maintained. We highly recommend and would love to come back in the future.

Tiny Cabin was Perfect for Me

Nestled in trees but not too far from the highway, this cabin was nice, clean, well-appointed, comfortable, and superbly located. I attended the Arkansas Natural Sky Association annual dark-sky festival, and not sure I could have been closer without camping there! I was comfortable for my three nights and slept like a log! Good Wi-Fi, but didn't watch TV. Great communication with owners. Great location for Buffalo River activities! Totally enjoyable stay.

Great Get-A-Way

Beautiful quiet place to relax surrounded by woods with deer and squirrels during the day and fireflys at night! Cabin was clean and as advertised. No issue's at all. 5 minutes from the Buffalo River. We are already looking for another chance to come back. Awesome place to unwind.

Tiny cabin is small but amazing

My fiance and I decided to book the tiny cabin as a short get away for my birthday. It was perfect for us. We loved the location and didn’t have any issues with finding activities even though we planned everything last minute. We loved every minute of our trip. Thank you so much for a great place to stay!!

Get away

The heat index was 113 when we arrived. There wasn’t any air on when we got there the temp inside was 98. It took until the next day to cool off inside temp to a comfortable setting. The loft area where the bed was never cooled off. I slept on the couch while my husband slept sitting up on one end of the couch. Wasn’t relaxing at all. If you are expecting guest at your cabin please turn on air before they arrive.

"small cabin with a big welcome"

This was the perfect little getaway for me and my fiance, and a very cozy base of operations for our exploration of the area. Max was awesome, very accommodating, and responded quickly to any questions we had. I just need to ask him what kind of mattress is on that bed, it was the most comfortable one I've ever slept on!

Great little cabin in the woods.

Enjoyed my stay here. Cabin had everything I needed. Stocked and decorated. Loved all the hooks to hand your stuff. Close to main road and easy to get to Marshall and St Joe. I consider this a large tiny house. I liked not having to crawl up a ladder to get to the loft and you can standup in the loaf. Everything was comfortable. I would book again.
