Beautiful area with a lovely, relaxing cabin

We had a really nice stay at this cabin. Check-in and check-out were very simple, and the tour of the farm Robin gave us was delightful. We loved the back patio and all the amenities. Many thanks to L.C. and Robin for a lovely holiday. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was rustic with modern amenities and plenty of seating. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils, and there was ice in the freezer. We had all the necessities, and we really enjoyed the bonus tour of the local farm. You don't often get an experience along with your stay. My fave feature of the property was the back porch, overlooking a drop off, with tree tops right in front of you. It was serene and relaxing, and we would stay again. The owners are great and communicated promptly and check-in and out was a breeze.

Exceptional Stay

The entire place is absolutely stunning. Regardless of which cabin you pick, you'll enjoy your stay. You can tell the owner LC loves what he does, and it shows. From the exotic animals to his family's own breed of cattle, my family had an amazing time with the tour. I highly recommend this place

Spring Break Trip

Very cute little cabin with everything you would need. LC and his wife are the nicest people and we loved the tour they gave us of the farm. We loved the hot tub on the back deck. Beds were 50/50. One bed was great, but the other was a little too hard for our preference. We would definitely come stay again, its a great little cabin and a beautiful area!

Great location and excellent property managers

This was a very fun way to spend Thanksgiving as a family. The owners are wonderful and gave a tour of the farm and we even got to feed animals. We are planning to go back in the summer when we will be able to spend more time hiking exploring and going to the river.

Fun on the Ranch

We had such a wonderful time with L.C. on his ranch. We felt like a kid being at a petting zoo for the first time. You didn't know whether to pet the emu or the water buffalofirst.

Very fun!!

Clean and beautiful, yet a rustic hunters-themed cabin. The cabin is isolated and private. The hot tub was a ton of fun! We were treated like royalty on the farm tour. LC was a gracious host, well educated and safe. We actually did feed Buffalo by hand!! I highly recommend a stay here. Bring all the food you need, and don’t forget briquettes & lighter fluid for the charcoal grill!

Buffalo Ranch Cabin Rentals

Buffalo Ranch Cabin Rentals are a superb experience and their hospitality is wonderful! We have stayed their twice and will be going back in the fall. I highly recommend them! The cabins are very clean and very well furnished. The tour of the ranch and animal experience is so much fun! The owner is there and helps with anything you need! The hot tub was fun also!

Weekend at Buffalo

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this charming little cabin by the Buffalo River! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most wonderful hosts L.C & Robin, who went above and beyond to make our experience special. They took us on a delightful tour of their property, sharing fascinating stories about the history of the area. Our kids were beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to feed the animals, and the hosts were so kind and patient in letting them interact with the animals up close.The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The peaceful surroundings made for a perfect escape, and we loved the quiet, natural beauty of the Buffalo River area. Our family made memories that will last a lifetime, and we are so grateful for the warmth and hospitality of our hosts. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a personal touch.

Private & Quiet

The cabin is very clean, private, and quiet. The kids love the hot tub! This was our second stay at this cabin and the owner has stopped by to check in and make sure everything was ok and see if we needed anything. He always offers to show us around the Buffalo Ranch (we haven't had time to do so yet). Even though the river was too low to float, we had a great time!

This is an old 4th generation 500 acre family farm . With some very simple practices , to treat everyone with respect . Do what you say what you say that you will do because you are only as good as your word and for each generation to leave the land in better shape than they found it because if you will take of the land it will take care of you.

Why they chose this property

It is clean, comfortable, quiet and well maintained. It is contiguous to the family farm.

What makes this property unique

We want this to be more than just a place to stay. We want this to be an experience. To get to feed an interact with the animals and to see a true family farm and a different way of life
