We loved the privacy of the cabin and the woods to walk in. We could let our dogs run loose and play. The entire house was clean and very nice.
Our dogs loved running on the property and the view was spectacular! It was also convenient to where the elk usually were, but unfortunately, the elk were not very cooperative this year

Lovely stay

Very clean, comfy beds, all the things you need, great location - close to lots of hiking and floating. Very basic accommodations but we didn’t need anything more than that. Would stay again!

Gorgeous escape from the speed of regular life

This cabin is just peaceful. It's very well maintained, house decor is circa the 90's and gives the nostalgic feeling of home. The surrounding area is GORGEOUS. The Buffalo River is an amazing float, and the cows across the street offer a peaceful pastoral view from the front porch. There is no cell phone service, but with the quite and wifi it is not missed.

Great short stay

We picked this location to be near the Buffalo river. This is a good spot to venture out and see many sites. We could even see elk from the porch. It is very clean and was great for us.

Fantastic Getaway

Our host was great and helped us with a late checkin. We loved how the older character of the house was preserved and updated with new furnishings to tie everything together. The location was close to everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit again!!

Property was great, we saw elk and floated the Buffalo River with BOC. Found a coffee pot but only a Keurig style coffee maker, 30 minute drive minimum to find food or groceries.

We had an amazing time during our quick weekend stay in the Boxley Valley. First thing I will say is that the host(s) are top notch good people. We had all sorts of problems getting along our 6 hour journey there and the hosts were able to go above and beyond for all the accommodation we ended up needing. The property is beautiful and secluded(tucked up in to a "mountainside"). There were endless places for the kids to safely explore right on site including a dry creek bed, open grassy areas, wooded areas, etc. It rained quite a bit one day we were there and sitting out on either porch was very peaceful and enjoyable. The cabin itself has basic accommodations and fit our family of 5 just right. 4 minutes drive from Lost Valley trail which was our main destination on this trip and well worth the day we took to explore it. 10/10 would recommend both the host and the cabin and we will be back to stay again some day!
