About this property

Historic Farmhouse with new upscale interior

The Homestead Farmhouse was built by Alonzo and Ersie Spencer. They raised a family with six children in this home that was built during the depression using lumber taken from trees on the property. Through the years it has been modernized. I am the their granddaughter and I used it for an art studio and gallery until the summer of 2015. I totally remodeled and updated the interior. There is a large new kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower featuring handprinted tiles. There is energy efficient heating and cooling. There is a wonderful large porch on the front. A remnant of early times, the root cellar is in back of the house. The smoke house is no longer standing. There are two ponds on the property and a wooded 40 acres to explore. The Homestead has the added convenience of not being on a dirt road. For this reason it is perfect for motorcycles. The location is about half way between Jasper and Ponca. It is close to Buffalo river access and hiking trails.

Great stay

We had a great time here. There was great access to multiple parks and hikes on the Buffalo. Our dogs really enjoyed the fields next door as well as the fact that they got to stay with us 24/7. We had a great time!

Perfect location

This is the perfection location! We did several hikes and even took a day trip to Eureka Springs. The host was excellent with communicating with me when I reached out. We will be back again. My young adult children and the grand pup loved it as well.

Great location for the Upper Buffalo River

We spent a weekend in this very well located property in the upper Buffalo River area. I would recommend it for a small family weekend getaway as it has large open spaces to the back and one side. The place is a historic homestead, has been renovated, and is simple and efficient.

Hiking Weekend

Location was very convenient to nice hiking trails. No cell service available in the area so was nice to have reliable WiFi at the Farmhouse. The Farmhouse was spacious and perfect spot to relax in the evenings on the porch.

Visiting Daughter who works in the area

Great property, that is right off the road and close to many hiking trails. Very easy to find and we had a great visit. The property was clean but did have some pet hair so if you have allergies be aware.

Lovely place to stay

We were very pleased with this rental. It was just as described, very clean and nicely furnished. This is an older home, so called the homestead, but it has been updated so that it is very comfortable. The location was great, and we really enjoyed our stay. Some of our family were staying nearby, and it was very convenient for us all to get together. Would definitely book again. Host communicated well.

Great place

We stayed three nights at the farmhouse and it was great. It had lots of dishes and had everything we needed. It was close to the Buffalo river for hiking and swimming. I gave it four stars because the inside was a bit musty and there was also a small hole rotted out in the wooden walkway up to the front patio and with a kid running around was a bit unsafe.

Nice quiet stay

The host was very communicative. She called prior to check in to confirm we had adequate directions and the door code. The location of the house is quiet. It’s fairly close to the road, so you do need to be mindful of small children. It’s also conveniently located in between Ponca and Jasper. We had a very nice stay.

Clean Base Camp

The Historic Farmhouse was a perfect base camp to hike the Buffalo National River.The property is spacious, clean, and easy to move around in. All the appliances worked and the shower never ran cold.There is not an over abundance of furniture. This was perfect for us as we traveled in our hiking gear and dog kennels. Kyle's Landing was the quickest way to get down onto the river (5 min) and even though it is on the state park side, the camp grounds were exceptionally clean and well maintained.We'd stay again with this host on a heartbeat.
